Living for another age where the Messiah of Israel rules and reigns out of Jerusalem. My hope is in the one who will make all things new.

Reposting the @OleasterBranch Advent Series in hopes it is a comfort in this season of expectation.

Luke 2:30-32

…for my eyes have seen your salvation
that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”

Resource Recommendation 🧵:
Bible Study Tools

In honor of Simchat Torah, I thought it would be fun to share some different principles and resources that have helped in deepening my study of the Bible.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: “My kingdom is not of this world” does not mean Christ’s kingdom is merely spiritual, heavenly, moral, or ethereal. It means, primarily, his kingdom is not “worldly”—it does not follow worldly principles, employ worldly tactics, or seek worldly ends.

[Kim Phillips @K_L_Phillips]

The Masoretic Text is like a mediaeval cathedral:
built over multiple lifetimes
breath-takingly monumental in scope
scrupulously accurate in detail
all sustained by a passion for the glory of God.

[Proverbs of Solomon @ProverbsSolomon]

It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out. (25:2)

[Josh Hawkins @joshuathawkins]

My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4)

[Leonard Ravenhill @ravenhillquotes]

No man is greater than his prayer life.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: If you believe the ultimate hope of the Christian faith is dying and going to heaven forever, you may have stopped reading the true Bible and accidentally picked up a false gnostic gospel. Christian hope is in resurrection and eternal life in the renewed creation.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Sometimes we are so interested in gathering life application from the pages of Scripture that we are uninterested in simply understanding what we are reading.

It’s really ok to just read to understand without walking away with specific application for that day.
