Word given on Rosh Hashanah 2008:

Behold, a king will reign righteously

And princes will rule justly.

Each will be like a refuge from the wind

And a shelter from the storm,

Like streams of water in a dry country,

Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

THEN the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,

And the ears of those who hear will listen.

The mind of the hasty will discern the truth,

And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

No longer will the fool be called NOBLE,

Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.

For a fool speaks nonsense,

And his heart inclines toward wickedness:

To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD,

To keep the hungry person unsatisfied

And to withhold drink from the thirsty (by shutting up a true Word).

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;

He devises wicked schemes

To destroy the afflicted with slander,

Even though the needy one speaks what is right.

But the noble man devises noble plans;

And by noble plans he stands.

Rise up, you women who are at ease,

And hear my voice;

Give ear to my word,

You complacent daughters.

Within a year and a few days

You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;

For the vintage is ended,

And the fruit gathering will not come.


Tremble, you women who are at ease;

Be troubled, you complacent daughters;

Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,

Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars (foolish rogues) shall come up;

Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated (new) city forsaken

Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever,

A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;

Yea, UNTIL the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,

And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,

And the fertile field is considered as a forest.

THEN justice will dwell in the wilderness

And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

And the work of righteousness will be peace (Gal. 5:22)

And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

THEN my people will live in a peaceful habitation,

And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

And it will hail when the forest comes down (Isa 28:17),

And the city will be utterly laid low (humbled).

How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,

Who let out freely the ox and the donkey (who bind no one, nor shut them out).

Selah.

--- Isa. 32---
The Savior of all men, especially believers.1 Tim. 4:10. Jesus' words to those who wanted to call fire down on the heads of those not believing the Gospel,"You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them."(Lk 9:54-56). Blog | CARM Rebuttal
