Old Testament (1216)
  1. The rainbow is a sign of the covenant God is making with “all flesh which is on the earth” and to the coming generations.
  2. When we read about Noah, we are reading backward to Adam and forward to Jesus.
  3. David’s house begins to crumble.
  4. The LORD promises He Himself will gather up the remnants and they will prosper under His shepherding.
  5. The death of David’s son and the birth of Solomon
  6. In spite of the many issues of unfaithfulness, the LORD still refers to them as, “My people Israel,” pointing to the Covenantal promise.
  7. Mankind’s “thoughts and ways” on the matter of pardon and forgiveness do not even come close to exhausting, let alone fathoming, God’s “thoughts and ways.”
  8. Only God creates clean hearts.
  9. Our leaders, our pastors, our priests, our teachers, all have feet of clay, just as leaders in Israel did. We do not put our faith in them, even in the ones—perhaps *especially* the ones—in whom we are inclined to have great expectations. They preach the Messiah but are not the Messiah.
  10. Ezekiel is not called/sent out to be “successful” in his prophetic ministry—he is sent out to be faithful!
  11. As the sin-bearer, Jesus was also the sin-confessor in the psalms.
