Psalm: 93 Meditation: EzraThe children of Israel, the priests, Levites and kings had been prohibited from taking foriegn pagan spouses. This was due to the fact that foreigners worshiped their own gods and led God’s people and future children astray. This does not refer to proselytes, pagan converts to Judaism like Rahab and Ruth that …

Psalm: 132 Meditation: 1 SamuelWe can ignore Saul taking credit for his victories, but his placing the mood of the people over following God’s commands led him to sin by practicing rituals that were set aside for priests. As punishment for this Saul’s family would not create a dynasty and his heir, Jonathan (who probably …

Psalms: 46, 47  Meditation John: The “Jews” of verse 41 were probably members of the “Council” – scribes, Pharisees, and priests, which composed the “elders”. These would be people steeped in Scripture and would haggle over the meaning of a word. If they had them then, then this Council would have used a magnifying glass …

Psalms: 147, 150 Meditation John: Sometimes I think that the “Jews”, or what I believe to mean the scribes, priests, and not all the Pharisees – or as it were, the elders, follow Jesus around with the sole purpose of trapping Him. I prefer to think that they are really seeking the Truth. Jesus tells …

Psalm: 80 Meditation Matthew: This episode takes place during Jesus’ last week before He dies. This is significant in that in the parable Jesus tells His listeners, the son who was sent to the tenants was Himself, the vineyard is Israel, and the tenants are the priests, scribes, and Pharisees – all of them should …

Psalm 6 Meditation: John – In this passage, John the Baptist tells the priests and Levites that he is not the Messiah but the one preparing the way for him. They even ask if John is Elijah or a Prophet. John had his own position. He is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. John recognizes his …

Psalms: 78:40-72 Meditation Nehemiah: The “Book of the Law of Moses” spoken of here are the first 5 books of the bible AKA the Pentateuch. Nehemiah and Ezra had positioned the priests and Levites in the whole assembly of Israel in Jerusalem (maybe 50, 000 not counting women and children) to help explain what Ezra …

Psalms: 54 Meditation Matthew: John the Baptist made no attempt at popularity. Like any prophet worth his salt, John was no fashion-plate either, proclaiming “Repent” – the only thing missing from this caricature was the sandwich board reading: “The end is near.” He was fearless confronting king, Pharisee and priest alike warning even them that …

Psalm: 23 Meditation Luke: The priests and lawyers again seek to find out who gave Jesus His authority to preach and teach, heal and raise the dead. The priests don’t believe in resurrection and the lawyers’ job is to “find the loopholes” (as W.C. Fields would say). Both groups (i.e., priests & lawyers) were severely …
