It's August already and we are preparing Elim for the new school year. As you can see we are getting a bit of a face lift on the inside with a kitchen remodel and plenty of new storage in the common area. The good people at Peace Community Church have been working hard to finish by our first day of school on August 15th. The "after" photos will go up as soon as they are done!

We are very close to the end of the school year at Elim. In fact, our last day is Wednesday the 25th. We will wrap up our study through Hebrews 11 tomorrow with a look into the prophet Malachi. Today we covered Zechariah, a man who had very strange dreams (we can probably relate sometimes) and pleaded with Israel to worship God with sincerity. This was following the return to Jerusalem and coincides with the events mentioned in the book of Ezra.
Zechariah was calling for the Jews to worship God with their whole heart and to be faithful. Unfortunately, and like before, people were turning from God. Listening to the prophets was getting old and soon God would grant their wish. They did not want to hear the prophets, so God would stop sending them. One more remained, and about 100 years later God would send Malachi. Following Malachi, God would not speak to the people for over 400 years. The next prophet we see is who some consider the last Old Testament prophet, John the Baptist.
Zechariah tells us of a coming Messiah who would announce his reign by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey’s colt, coming in peace to reign forever. This was fulfilled on what we recognize as Palm Sunday. Five days later, after riding into Jerusalem, Jesus would be on the cross just as the scriptures foretold. On the third day after his crucifixion, Jesus would rise from the dead, also foretold by the prophets we have been studying. It’s been a wild ride through the gospel message in the Old Testament, but as I always say, everything in the Old Testament points to the cross… it’s all about Jesus.

This morning during devotions at Elim, we learned about our next Hero of the Faith (Hebrews 11), Haggai. I have been waiting patiently for the opportunity to talk to the students about Haggai because most of the prophets are covering what was going to happen due to God’s judgment with the promise of restoration. Well, finally, we are looking at the restoration. 70 years have passed since Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, and the new rulers, The Persians, have allowed the exiles to return to rebuild; not only that, they are paying for it to happen.
Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, it wasn’t, which is why Haggai steps in to show the error of the people. The people were again being unfaithful because they focused all of their energy on rebuilding their homes without considering the point of the King of Persia’s decree, to rebuild the temple. The story of rebuilding can be seen in the book of Ezra as these two books should be read together for the whole story. The temple was eventually rebuilt after Haggai inspired the people to do so.
What else is significant? A man named Zerubbabel was placed in charge as the governor of the province and he had a very important ancestor, King David. The previous minor prophets had promised a return to the line of David with his reign lasting forever. If you turn to Matthew 1 and Luke 3, you notice that both Joseph and Mary’s family lines come from Zerubbabel and of course, King David. God was getting Israel ready for what would take place in 500 years, as the Apostle Paul put it, “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:5-7 ESV). ...

This morning during devotions at Elim, we learned about our next Hero of the Faith (Hebrews 11), Zephaniah. Unlike the prophets who have a specific pronouncement of God’s judgment on one or two nations, Zephaniah makes a general pronouncement about the sovereignty of God and His judgment on all nations. This judgment on all nations will be followed by restoration, a future hope. One can see how this ties neatly into the New Testament, hinted at in the gospels, but fully realized in the Acts of the Apostles at the beginning of the church age.
“All nations” is a theme of the Bible traced all the way back to Genesis 12 explicitly, but even further back to Genesis 3 to what scholars call, “The First Gospel.” God tells Abraham in Genesis 12:3 that all nations will be blessed through him. The Old Testament is full of examples of how God’s promise to Israel also includes all nations. Jesus commanded the disciples to go into the world and preach the good news to all nations. But when it was time, the disciples, specifically Peter, needed additional prompting as seen in Acts 10. Then once Peter figured it out, he convinced the others that they needed to be preaching the gospel to everyone.
The message is simple: God will judge all nations, but God will offer restoration and hope for those in the “all nations” who repent and honor Him. The message isn’t just for Israel, it is for us too, and we realize this through our faith in Christ. ... See MoreSee Less
