Psalms 129 - God's Holy Family


Feb. 19, 2018 Monday Message:

“May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.” Psalms 129:5 NIV

3,000 years ago, other countries were constantly attacking Israel. Fortunately, God has always given help to Israel, and they persevered.

For a time, the Jews were scattered and Israel ceased to exist. Then, following WWII, Israel was re-established, and the Hebrew people once again had a homeland. This was the land God first gave the Jews when He moved them from Egypt to the land of milk and honey, the Promised Land.

Whose side are you on? There are those who are for Zion, and those who are against Zion. “Zion” refers to Israel the country, Jerusalem the city, the Jewish people, and in general, all things “God.” God sent all knowledge of Godly things to us through the Hebrew people, and they are to share this knowledge with the world.

The bottom line is that God wants to include you in his Holy family. All who repent and call Jesus “Lord” have a place in God’s house. All who repent and return are beneficiaries of God’s love, forgiveness, care and protection. You can be a part of God’s kingdom both here on earth, and also when you enter the next reality. It’s the right side to be on!
