To Comfort My People

The German composer, Handel, opened his famous concert, Messiah, with this song from Scripture. The Prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 40 a message to “Comfort My people, Israel” to let them know their appointed time has come to deliver them and remove the yoke of those who serve themselves of them.

“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare/appointed time is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”

Isaiah 40:1-5

A House Divided Against Itself

One hundred and sixty three years ago, on June 16, 1858, the newly chosen candidate for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln, delivered a speech to his colleagues. His goal was to unite them in their on-going discussions and disagreements about whether to abolish slavery or not. In his effort to get them into an agreement, he said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Now whenever that phrase is heard, it is attributed to President Lincoln, but he was quoting someone else! And that someone was Jesus Christ! What was the original context?

Mass Graves Uncovered

A ‘mass grave’ is a grave that contains multiple human corpses, which may or may not be identified prior to burial. Several mass graves of unidentified corpses have been uncovered recently that the makers thereof would prefer to stay buried. These are from different continents, but the perpetrators have everything in common.

Mass Grave Uncovered in Canada

5/29/21 – KAMLOOPS, British Columbia — A mass grave containing the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, has been found on the site of what was once Canada’s largest Indigenous residential school. The school is one of the institutions that held Indigenous children taken from families across the nation.

From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 First Nations children were required to attend state-funded Catholic schools as part of a program to assimilate them into Canadian society. They were forced to convert to ‘Christianity’ and not allowed to speak their native languages. Many were beaten and verbally abused, and up to 6,000 are said to have died.

The Canadian government apologized in Parliament in 2008 and admitted that physical and sexual abuse in the schools was rampant. A report more than five years ago by a Truth and Reconciliation Commission said at least 3,200 children had died amid abuse and neglect.

The Great and Dreadful Day of the LORD

Jesus said great signs would be given to indicate the Day of the LORD. In the early morning hours of this day, there appeared a great sign in heaven. A Super ‘Blood’ Moon, Total Lunar Eclipse. He said to ‘Watch!’ so that day does not come upon you in unawareness. For as a snare it shall come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.

“But when you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet. Then he said to them, ‘Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in diverse/different places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven

For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”

No Peace for Jerusalem

The very name Jerusalem means “Foundation of Peace” or “Teacher of Peace“. But the only time the city of Jerusalem has ever known peace was during the reign of King Solomon (970-930 BC) whose name also means “peaceful” or “peaceable.” He succeeded his father, David, on the throne over the whole House of Israel. He built the Temple of Solomon on Zion, the City of David (2 Samuel 5:7), during his reign. Since his time, there has been no peace in the land called Jerusalem! The Temple was destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed again. Jesus taught there for about three years during the Roman Occupation. He was killed by Roman soldiers at the behest of the high priests.

The earthly city of Jerusalem is once again under fire. The ongoing unrest between Judah and Palestine has been since the times of our fathers, the Patriarchs. An eternal enmity exists between them. (“Hamas fires rockets into Israel“) The city of Jerusalem, previous to the time of David and Solomon, was a royal city of the Canaanites. It was a merchant city with temples dedicated to Jupiter and Venus. It has been fought over for millennia.
