Shalom Friends,
This is a beautiful song by Shilo ben Hod called “I Know”. One of the lyrics in this song, says that “You’ve kept every word You’ve spoken”. When I hear this I think of the prophecy found in the Book of Jeremiah, chapter 31.
31 “”Here, the days are coming,” says ADONAI, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra’el and with the house of Y’hudah.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them,” says ADONAI.
33 “For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra’el after those days,” says ADONAI: “I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 No longer will any of them teach his fellow community member or his brother, ‘Know ADONAI’; for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest; because I will forgive their wickednesses and remember their sins no more.”
The God of Israel made a new covenant with his people, whereby our Messiah, Yeshua / Jesus died for our sins, once. As Paul sums this up in Hebrews chapter 9 verses 26 to 28: “But as it is, he has appeared once at the end of the ages in order to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment, 28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,[c] will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
Let’s pray everyday for Yeshua / Jesus to return… soon!
