Psalms: 20, 23  Meditation Ezekiel: This is a vivid rendering of the “general resurrection” at the end of the age – the valley of the dry bones. We shall all die and in time (for most of us) what will be left will be bones only. Resurrection is not much treated in the OT except …

Psalm: 26 Meditation Jeremiah:  Jeremiah’s prayer here opens much like Psalm 73 – the wicked thrive whereas the righteous do not. The people of his own hometown threaten to kill him if he continues to prophesy in the LORD’s name. Jesus endured the same threat of death while preaching in Nazareth (Luke 4). God promises …

Psalm: 40 Meditation Isaiah: This is a curious reading for it sets Bible scholars’ hearts aflutter. Cyrus in verse 28 is a Persian king – the thing is he will not have been born for well over 100 years to come. It is he who would release the Jews from Babylon – but at this …

Psalm: 119: 73-96 Meditation John: While not an apostle, Stephen was the first of an array of martyrs. John, on the other hand was an Apostle, and in this reading, Jesus intimates to Peter that John will not die as a martyr. This, just after Jesus warned, or better, prophesied that Peter would die in …

Psalms: 98, 100 Meditation Revelation: I cannot pretend to explain the descriptions of horses and riders here. I know this that since this is a word of prophecy, it would be unwise (i.e., stupid) to treat these images as literal. If prophesies were “letter-perfect”, they would cease to be prophesies but rater newspapers (and those …

Psalm: 10 Meditation Revelation: This passage makes me want to be a martyr (witness); look at what they’re doing in glory. The mark of the martyr is an “all in” commitment to Christ – to be able to offer up one’s life for Him yields exactly what Jesus said, “No greater love.” Some of this …

Psalm: 116 Meditation Hosea: Verse 1 is cited by Luke as a prophesy linking the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt and the return of the Holy Family to Galilee after the death of Herod the Great. Aside from that, there seems to be a longing or an ache that God has for Israel. We’ve …

Psalms: 138, 141 Meditation Acts: This reading easily splits into to two: vs. 1-7 and then 8-14. Verses 1-7 give a somewhat detailed account of Paul’s departure from Ephesus to Ptolemais to Philip the deacon’s house where Paul receives a prophesy. Vs. 8-14 discus that event. Agabus, a prophet, was there at Philip’s with a …

Psalms: 137, 140 Meditation  Judges: It is time to break with mythic tradition: angels are not feathered creatures, though that is exactly how Ezekiel describes them without once using the term “angel”. No, angels are “messengers”. In this instance, the angel in our account, is actually the LORD Himself. This “angel” is announcing the birth …

Psalm: 35 Meditation Matthew: This is Jesus’ end-time prophecy. Prophecy is very tricky – we actually think, by it, to probe the mind of God. In my estimation, the only way to consider prophecy is once it is fulfilled. We can guess and cajole all we like, but in the end, it is only through …
