This was an amazing time for Israel. The time had come for the God's people to take possession of the Land God had promised their for-fathers. It was equally divided by the tribes of Israel with Land set aside for the Lord as holy for the Temple and for the Levites. I can't imagine completion that they would be felling in this time of receiving from the Lord. they had heard it their whole lives and even with their failures even recent ones they were receiving the Promised God had given their fathers fathers father. I just think about the promises I have been given and relish at the opportunity to see it flourish in time. I think of my children, my legacy and I see my children in the receiving of the Lords promises for me to them. Thank you father for your faithfulness.
Now we take a different turn, it's still the promises of God but the promises to destroy and God keeps His promises to others just as He does to Israel. He promised Egypt that they would be destroyed by Babylon I they didn't this and that and they didn't, so He is fulfilling His promises to them and to Babylon. He wipes them out completely desolate for not only them but their allies as well. It truly is a sad day for Egypt. The Lord wanted Egypt to know Him and that He was and it the Most High God, and I believe they do. Evil-merodach ascended to the Babylonian throne and He released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison and gave him new clothes and allowed him to eat in the presence of the king for the rest of his life, so he was given a regular allowance of food for as long as he lived for the rest of his life.
Lord, I ask you today to help me to honor you in your Word and the complete study of Jesus, I ask for your humble grace to be bestowed upon my heart as I delve into your knowledge and understanding. In the holy precious beautiful amazing wonderful gracious name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
