Psalm: 104 Meditation: IsaThis messianic prophecy was read out loud by Jesus himself in the synagogue and then created a furor when he pronounced its fulfillment in Himself. Like many other  prophecies, this passage hadn’t been fulfilled as the Lord’s  vengeance and restoration is still in the future. Notice the similarity in structure and meaning …

Psalm: 138 Meditation: JerHow badly can the human leadership mess up? Even God’s own people need God to step in time and time again. These messianic prophecies call for a time of reunification of God’s people and the installation of righteousness and judgment over the earth. The promise of a land under the direct authority …

Psalm: 68 Meditation: JohnHow often did the people of Jesus’s time miss the real message that he was giving? This passage includes several miracles that pointed to Jesus as the prophesied messiah. Instead the people focused on what they wanted from him- food, wealth, freedom and maybe glory. Jesus chastised them again, telling them His  …

Psalm: 45  Meditation: MattWhy are human beings so concerned with their own future or events to come? After using examples that people used in ancient times to determine planting or harvest times, Jesus points out that there wasn’t any way or anyone that could accurately predict the end of time. Many of the wars, plagues,  …

Psalm: 14 Meditation: JerHow would it feel to receive a message of hope from the Lord in your darkest hour? Most of these people would not live to see the fulfillment of this prophecy. Like Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, they were to look and believe in a time and place for their descendants. They are …

Psalm: 79 Meditation Luke: Here Jesus goes to his hometown of Nazareth and manages to talk himself into being tossed off the local precipice. In the town’s synagogue, he was delivered the scroll of the prophet Isaiah and he searched for and found the passage which he identified with himself (Is. 61:1-2). The chilling moment …

Psalm: 85 Meditation Mark: The good thing about Mark is that he doesn’t mince words. He seems (or I interpret him) to weigh each word carefully (actually the Holy Spirit). Mark initiates his gospel citing a prophecy from Malachi 3:1 almost verbatim. Then comes John the baptizer – who looks every inch a prophet: odd …

Psalm: 79 Meditation Isaiah: This prophecy is frequently cited during Advent. “The people who walked in darkness…” (v. 2) most of us understand them to be the Jews and given the references to Zebulun, Naphtali and the Jordan, certainly justifies that position, but what else? Many prophecies can portend the near future as well as …

Psalm: 68 Meditation 2 Peter: I confess, I have never met St. Peter, well, not yet anyway. What I can say is that the Peter of the gospels is vastly different from the writer of this epistle. What changed? What happened? The most major event in Peter’s life must have been Pentecost – the descent …

Psalms: 82, 84 Meditation Isaiah: Here you go: Maher-shalal-hash-baz – this is the name the LORD tells Isaiah to name his son. Sounds cruel to me when you consider its meaning: The spoil speeds, the prey hastens. (According to the Believer’s Bible Commentary p. 867) points to the destruction of Syria [Damascus] and Israel by …
