The Fall of Nineveh
Book of Nahum
Chapter 1
We have been seeing
that the armies of Sennacherib, the King of Assyria had become the
dominate power in the known world now until God clipped their wings.
We should understand
that Nineveh was the capitol of Assyria now and God had also
prophesied of the downfall of Nineveh.
This is another
thing that the people of Judah should have understood.
While Isaiah was
speaking to King Hezekiah of the victory to those who trusted in the
Lord.
The prophet Nahum
was speaking of the destruction of Nineveh.
We must also
remember the Prophet Jonah had preached in Nineveh and the whole city
had turn to the Lord but by this time they had reverted to their old
ways and were led there by their own government.
Far too often, when
people talk about God, they ignore His "justice" and His
"judgment" and speak only of His love.
This is a dangerous
thing to do because, God is not only a "loving" God, God is
also a "just" God!
The truth is, it is
God's love for all believers and those who trust in Him and His Word,
that will cause the "Judgment" of God to fall on those who
do not believe in His existence and who reject the Word of God.
And they seem to
forget that God loves His Holy name and everything His name stands
for, which is love, joy, peace, righteousness, and holiness.
God will therefore
execute vengeance on all those who reject, ignore, neglect and curse
His Holy Name!
As we go through
this lesson, we can be sure that in "typology", Nineveh is
a type of all those who rebel against Jehovah, our God.
Let's begin:
*****Nah 1:1 The
burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
We know that God
spoke to His prophets in many ways, to Nahum, God used visions.
That word burden in
this passage means, these Scriptures are a message of doom to Nineveh
and as I said this message is also intended for all those who rebel
against the Lord.
Now, Nineveh was the
capitol city of Assyria and remember Assyria is oppressing Judah as
Nahum receives these visions from the Lord.
So, Nahum is saying,
this Book of Nahum is a Book of Visions given to him by the Lord.
We already know, the
words of God's prophets were as God speaking Himself!
An Elkoshite was
anyone who came from Elkosh and not much is known of this place or
it's true location.
So, let's witness
the visions God gave to Nahum.
*****Nah 1:2 God is
jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious;
the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth
wrath for his enemies.
It is a fact that
our God is a jealous God!
In our relationships
with the opposite sex, we find that "jealousy" is one is
one of the strongest passions of our nature!
When we see, these
things written of the Lord, this word is used as an illustration,
rather than expressing the emotions His divine mind.
The Lord presents
Himself as the Husband of the Church and the Church as the "Bride
of Christ".
We can see, it is
the Lord's desire to maintain the purity of the relationship between
Himself and His Church.
The emotions of
"Love" can make us all selfish in keeping that one we love,
for ourselves.
The "jealousy"
of the Lord is in fact a Godly jealousy.
The "jealousy"
of God is awakened by the long-continued injuries inflicted of the
people of God!
The fact is, God is
love but God is also just and those that God has already justified
are His as His children and God will avenge any harm to His children!
There can be no
"true love" without "justice" and God is always
ready to defend His honor and His family!
We can be sure God
is working behind the scenes to stop those causing harms to His
people but for the most part God may withhold His hand of vengeance
for a time, as He does now, until He returns to settle all things. He
reserves His wrath for His enemies! Which means He is watching and
waiting until He has had enough of this abuse of His children and no
one else will repent of their sin.
We all know, to
withhold anger will only it to grow and grow until it must be
released.
We should clearly
understand that the destruction of Assyria was God's doing and
Assyria no longer exist as a nation.
Nineveh was
established by Nimrod and then became the capitol of Assyria in the
time of Sennacherib and Assyria ruled the Near East for more than 65
years until about 612 BC when until Babylon destroyed it and later
the Medes and the Persians.
The Assyrians were a
cruel, and oppressing and a murderous people, whose leaders were
greedy and ambitious to expand their kingdom.
Countless multitudes
of other evil people were slaughtered and mutilated by the Assyrians
and any survivors were made slaves.
In our lesson, we
will see that God had reached a point where He could no longer
tolerate this evil nation, as He did the Canaanite and we should see
this as an example of the return of Christ when God has had enough of
this evil world.
The people of
Nineveh were far beyond repentance and returning to the Lord and the
Lord always know these things!
We should also see
that the prophet Nahum had the message of God's last warning to these
people and their last chance to repent.
Eze 18:21 But if
the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and
keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall
surely live, he shall not die.
This is a great
burden to the Lord God because He has no pleasure in having to do
these things,
Eze 18:23 Have I
any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD:
and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
The jealousy of God
is not built on envy, God cherishes who He is and protects His
possessions as any good husband and father should do.
God demands worship,
praise, and service by His people but they must willingly offer these
things, not out of fear but out of love and God will not accept any
rivals for this affection to Him!
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt
have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt
not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt
not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
Common sense should
tell us all, that God will have to carry out His vengeance and
justice to all those who reject Him!
Joh 3:36 He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
God must obey all
His Written Word or we would not be able to trust any of His Word and
He has no problem in doing this!
Eph 5:3 But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once
named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not
convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 5:5 For this ye
know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who
is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of
God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the
wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
God shows great
patience now but that patience will come to an end one day soon and
God's wrath will be seen!
*****Nah 1:3 The
LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit
the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
It is a fact that
God's patience is the only reason evil people and evil nations can
continue in their evil ways and why is God like this?
2Pe_3:9 The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
Longsuffering is the
same as patience!
God delays His
judgment but the truth is God will never (not at all) acquit the
wicked!
Notice how God's
lips move quickly when He promises but move more slowly when He is
warning.
When God warns, He
is very slow to sentence, allowing every possible moment for
repentance.
We all know the
sentence against every sinner, is death.
Rom 6:23 For the
wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
God is slow to carry
out this sentence even though sin is an abominable thing to God. God
hates sin!
God is right to do
anything He pleases at any time He so desires!
Remember when all
those that have refused to repent and return to the Lord, stand at
the White Throne of Judgment, they will be without an excuse and they
can in no way blame the Lord for their demise!
The Lord has great
power and this includes great power over Himself to carry out that
sentence of death. It takes much power to restrain the Almighty God
and only He has that power within Himself.
None of us should
forget, that God has never, even one time, pardoned an unrepented
sin!
The greatest
exercise of God's patience is found in the death of Jesus Christ on
the cross!
Notice God will warn
before He strikes and He warns so that maybe He will not have to
strike!
Now God does not
travel around using these powerful storms as a vehicle of travel. Nor
are these storms created by His presence.
BUT the earth is
God's footstool to do with as He pleases. We are all in fact, God's
creation!
We have a great
example of these things in the time of Noah.
1Pe 3:20 Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited
in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that
is, eight souls were saved by water.
Are the clouds the
dust of God's feet?
We know that the
earth is God's footstool and the Earth is made of dust, the same dust
the we are made of. Scientific discovery has confirmed that the
clouds owe their glory and their beauty and even their existence to
the presence of dust particles in the atmosphere. The liquid vapor
condenses on the particles and then become visible. So yes, the
clouds are certainly the dust of God's feet!
What did Jesus
Christ say?
Mat 26:64 Jesus
saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
And again, in the
Book of Revelation
Rev 1:7 Behold, he
cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so, Amen.
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is,
and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
And of course, that
is not all as Nahum describes the return of Christ.
*****Nah 1:4 He
rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers:
Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon
languisheth.
We should clearly
understand, God's power is absolute, limitless and inexhaustible and
works everywhere within His created world!
No one and nothing
else, will be able to stop the wrath of God, when He decides it is
time!
We know of God's
works in the air and now we see God's works in the sea. We can see
that God says look what He has already done to the Red Sea and the
River Jordan for examples.
Amo 5:8 Seek him
that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of
death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that
calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face
of the earth: The LORD is his name:
In the time of
Nahum, Bashan, Carmel, and Lebanon were the most fruitful places in
all of Palestine but their growth depended entirely on the results of
God's power over the rain.
We must understand,
nature is alive but not by any power of its own. All the forces of
nature are by the personal energies of the Lord!
And that's not all:
*****Nah 1:5 The
mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned
at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
God is not the cause
when that tornado destroys your home.
God is not the cause
when that earthquake destroys a city.
God is not the cause
when those bad things happen in nature.
BUT, we should be
aware that God has absolute control over nature and nature will be
used when God brings His wrath on the disobedient of this world. To
be honest, nature has no choice in this matter, "the earth will
melt in the presence of God" because of His Glory.
2Pe 3:7 But the
heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But,
beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the
day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing
then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking
for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
So, in truth, who on
this earth has the power to stop the wrath of God?
*****Nah 1:6 Who
can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are
thrown down by him.
Those that reject
God and reject the Word of God live by one option, they reject the
existence of God, so they are not concerned about His return.
But those who know
there is a God because the works of creation prove it, are truly
foolish if they do not repent and return to the Lord.
The Word of God is
the truth and God's warnings are real!
God's fury will be
poured out like fire! We already have the example of the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah, or like the molten lava from a volcano.
Jer 7:20 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be
poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the
trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall
burn, and shall not be quenched.
And notice, those
rocks and those mountains are thrown down by God Himself or we should
say in His presence.
Assyria resisted the
truth of God with a 200,000-man army and God dispatched one Angel who
could have destroyed them all, but then there would have been no
witnesses to tell others of the Mighty God of Israel, Jehovah God so,
only 185,000 were destroyed and 15,000 witnesses to tell the truth of
the Holy One of Israel!
When the Lord is our
protection, we are safe and God knows all those that belong to Him
and who have answered His call!
*****Nah 1:7 The
LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth
them that trust in him.
Repeatedly we see
that the wrath of God will not fall upon those that have repented and
returned to the Lord.
2Ti 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth
the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Rom 5:9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him.
1Th 1:10 And to
wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even
Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1Th 5:9 For God
hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord
Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died
for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with
him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore
comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye
do.
There are many
reasons to repent and return to the Lord better than this one,
because there are too many benefits of being a child of God to
mention here, but this one must be counted also.
We can draw much
comfort knowing that Christians will not go through the seven years
of tribulation on this earth but God will remove His Church before
this period begins!
It is certain that
God will offer more help to the poor and oppressed than He does the
rich but rich or poor. God will only offer His shelter and protection
to those that trust in His name and in His Word!
It is that same
presence of God that causes utter destruction that protects those
that love Him. Just as in the Jews escape from Egypt, "we are
covered by the blood and not just any blood but the blood of the Lamb
of God.
Exo 12:7 And they
shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on
the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
Exo 12:13 And the
blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and
when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not
be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Act 20:28 Take heed
therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the
Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which
he hath purchased with his own blood.
True believers walk
with the Lord and just like Enoch, before the wrath of God we, in a
sense, will all just walk on up to Heaven in His Glory, when God
calls out His church.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for
we shall see him as he is.
1Jn 3:3 And every
man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Just after the time
when God removes His Church, this world will see the wrath of God!
*****Nah 1:8 But
with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
Nah 1:9 What do ye
imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall
not rise up the second time.
Nah 1:10 For while
they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as
drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
As God affords His
protection to the max for those who love Him, those that remain will
see God's wrath to the max!
Eze 7:8 Now will I
shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon
thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense thee for all thine abominations.
Eze 7:9 And mine
eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee
according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of
thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
Eze 7:10 Behold the
day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath
blossomed, pride hath budded.
We know that God put
an end to Nineveh and God will do the same to this world we live in!
God's goodness
demands that He carry out a perfect "Judgment" upon those
who have rejected Him!
God's people must be
vindicated or God would not be the God that He claims to be!
There are great
plots to destroy the message of God and the messengers of God
throughout this world and even in America.
BUT, any attack of
God's people is a direct attack on God Himself!
**God will put an
end to all plots against Him, when the Lord Jesus returns to
establish God's Kingdom!
Many Christians
suffer persecution and are refused many things, while if they refuse
an unbeliever, they are punished.
**God will put an
end to all those who cause trouble for God's people when the Lord
Jesus returns, He will rule with a rod of iron!
God will put an end
to the pain God's people suffer in this world!
We may not have the
thorns such as grow in Palestine but when you are walking through the
brush and a thorn bush grabs your clothing it takes a few moments to
get yourself free and move on.
God said His enemies
will be as drunkards caught up in a thorn bush, unable to free
themselves. They and the thorns are like worthless brush fit only for
burning.
Mal 4:1 For,
behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the
proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it
shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Yes, it's true that
great thorn hedges were planted in such a way to protect the sheep
from predators and the King of Assyria felt like his great city walls
offered that same protection from his enemies and Nineveh was
considered impenetrable. So, the soldiers would have drunken feasts
when attacks came rather than prepare for defense, since no army have
ever entered Nineveh.
Babylon seized upon
this foolishness and after Nineveh became Babylon, Cyrus and the
Medes proved this to be the downfall of Babylon which was Nineveh. In
typology, this is what the Lord is describing for those who reject
His warnings and think they can protect themselves from the wrath of
God!
Mat 24:38 For as in
the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew
not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
In truth God cannot
build His Kingdom until all the brush has been removed!
There are always
those who plot against the Lord!
*****Nah 1:11 There
is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
It is probable that
Nahum was referring to Sennacherib that imagined such evil against
the Lord but the fact remains that whoever is considered by the
prophet, is a picture of Satan.
In the end, those
who have followed Satan will find Him to be a worthless counselor!
We can see an
example here of how foolish it will be for anyone to enter a conflict
with the Lord!
Rom_1:18 For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
The Lord put a stop
to Sennacherib.
The Lord has put a
stop to many wicked rulers.
The Lord will put a
stop to Satan! Satan is not God's equal, he is only a tool in the
hands of God!
*****Nah 1:12 Thus
saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have
afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Corrupt rulers most
often bring ruin to their own nations.
In Hebrew, that word
"quiet" means complete. No doubt the military of Assyria
was well trained and battle hardened and they were complete in their
ability for warfare. They were organized. They were disciplined. They
had the proper equipment. That had many, they were an overwhelming
force for any nation to overcome.
The Lord says even
though this military was all these things, they would be cut down,
they would be destroyed.
The Lord warns all
those who rebel against Him, including all so-called powerful
nations, they will cut down and destroyed when the Lord returns.
When that "one"
Angel passed through the Assyrian army 185,000 were cut down.
Though the Lord had
allowed these Jews to be afflicted by these Assyrians, He would not
allow it to continue anymore!
*****Nah 1:13 For
now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in
sunder.
We should know that
the affliction on God's people was due to God's discipline for
rebellion!
God used this wicked
king and his nation Assyria, to be the agent of this discipline.
We see this
repeatedly in the Old Testament, and we can be sure God does the same
today, not only to Israel but to other nations as well! "Wake up
America"
Judah had paid
tribute to Assyria from the time of King Ahab and sent presents to
the king since the time of Kind Ahaz and were in bondage by the
Assyrian army, the most powerful military of that day.
God is saying that
He would remove this yoke of Assyria from Israel forever and we know
that Assyria no longer exist as a nation!
In "typology"
this should remind us that the Lord Jesus Christ has set each
believer free from the bondage of Satan forever and after God is
through using Satan for His agent of discipline, Satan will be put
away, so we can consider that he will no longer exist. "This
time gets closer with every passing day"!
Those Ninevite, by
seeking to destroy Israel, would only cause their own destruction.
Again in "typology"
we can see this happening in our world today, as the wicked followers
of Satan try to destroy Christianity and Israel, they are only
hastening their own destruction!
We must understand
that the discipline of the Lord is used to cause rebellion to cease
from His people. When we seek the Lord, we are very aware that we
must put away all sin in our lives or the Lord will not hear our
prayer.
Psa 66:18 If I
regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
God will use
whatever agent it takes to correct us and in most cases, it will be
sinful people, but it can also be disease, or finances or sadly He
may take away someone we love.
We can see that it
is our own sin that can destroy our families and others we love!
God only disciplines
us because He loves us!
Pro 3:11 My son,
despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his
correction:
Pro 3:12 For whom
the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he
delighteth.
In our discipline,
God is fulfilling a promise He has made to us.
The Lord has
promised to deliver us from the things that bring us into bondage in
this life!
These include
alcohol, drugs, foul language, even gluttony, and we must include all
manner of sexual sin. Not only fornication and adultery, but also
homosexuality. Sin is sin and God must deal with all sin that becomes
a yoke of bondage in our life!
Through Jesus Christ
the power of sin can be conquered along with the power of death!
Rom 8:1 There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law
of sin and death.
"wake up world"
What did God promise
Israel?
*****Nah 1:14 And
the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of
thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the
graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou
art vile.
Nah 1:15 Behold
upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows:
for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut
off.
God first addresses
the Assyrians:
1) The Assyrian
people would become extinct and we know that this has happened.
In "typology"
we must understand that one day God will remove all unbelievers from
this world.
2) In the middle of
his house of worship, even among all the false gods of Sennacherib,
God would take his life.
We know that two of
the sons of Sennacherib murdered him as he worshipped in the place of
his idols.
We see that sin
destroys families!
3) We see that
Sennacherib was certainly a type of the Antichrist because God said
he was vile.
God said this man
was useless, "he was weighed in the balances and found wanting".
Dan 5:27 TEKEL;
Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
The truth is, all
those who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ will face the
"judgment" of God and because they are "vile"
their names will be removed from ever existing, their names will not
appear in the Lamb's Book of life!
God guarantees the
destruction of all evil in this world and none will be allowed in the
New World to come!
2Pe 2:9 The Lord
knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve
the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
God then turns His
attention to Judah.
The purpose of God's
vengeance is to bring freedom and freedom of worship to His children!
God gives us the
picture of a messenger racing over the hills to bring the good news
that the enemy has been destroyed.
Rom 10:15 And how
shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things!
It is time for Judah
to get back to the worship of their Savior. To perform the vows, they
had made to the Lord. They could enjoy the peace that the Lord had
provided. They had been delivered once again!
God promises each of
us peace and He will deliver!
That peace of God
can come only through Jesus Christ!
When we trust the
Lord Jesus Christ as our Deliverer and our Savior we are to become
faithful and consistent worshippers!
When we make a vow
to the Lord, God expects us to keep it!
After we all we
should all have the same understanding and the same goal!
Psa 27:1 The LORD is
my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When the
wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Psa 27:3 Though an
host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war
should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing
have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell
in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the
beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
