ISRAEL THE PREMIER NATION OF THE NEW WORLD
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15
Isaiah 61:4-11
Psalm 37:34-36
"Wait on the LORD,
and keep his way…"
ISRAEL THE PREMIER NATION OF THE NEW WORLD
The prophescope, after a brief focus on the Messiah’s First Advent, which our Lord has claimed was directed at His preaching ministry, then turned again to His Second Advent and Millennial rule.
Under the Messiah’s earthly reign, the Jews will restore not only the cities that had fallen into ruins during the exile, but also those that had been lying waste for generations. Gentiles will be employed in subordinate positions on the land, as herdsmen and farmhands, but Israel will be priests and ministers of God. Israel, having suffered much in her checkered history, will be doubly compensated. God will deal justly, and honour those who seek Him in sincerity and in truth. For His covenant’s sake, He will exalt Israel again so that she will be acknowledged by the whole world as God’s chosen people.
In the concluding two verses of Isaiah 61, the ideal Servant of Jehovah spoke again. He identified Himself with the people and slaves in being also clothed with the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness, an imagery which is the same as that given in Isaiah 59:17 and Isaiah 61:3.
While the earth will be physically and economically restored, we must not forget the spiritual dimension, without which the physical will not last. That is the same principle that will sustain Israel as the premier nation. Psalm 122:1-4: "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD."
THOUGHT: "The summer sun shines o’er new Jerusalem, Golden days of peace so divine: Messiah has come to this war-torn earth from heaven, Bestowing rest to weary mankind."
PRAYER: Turn my heart heavenward, O Lord, that it will have no more taste for this world
