Psalm: 31 Meditation Isaiah: Isaiah sounds like he’s prophesying of John’s “Revelation”. This is a veiled image of the restored earth. Of particular note is v. 8: death will be swallowed up forever – that actually began at Jesus’ Resurrection. This image is also cited by Paul in 1 Cor. 15. And He will wipe …

Psalm: 147 Meditation Isaiah: A very hopeful image is given us in this section. It describes the post-millennial age – that age wherein we are ever in God’s presence. The opening here is also echoed in John’s Revelation. Age, of course, will have no bearing on longevity for if one dies at age 100 he …

Psalms: 8, 11 Meditation Isaiah: Rejoice is a key word here for this reading quite literally begins with that word in 61:10 and closes in 62:5 also using the same word. The image of a blissful marriage also begins and ends the reading. The day (or period) described here must be our tenure in heaven …

Psalm: 77 Meditation Isaiah: Isaiah prefigures the verse in John’s Revelation (1:8): the first and last. The LORD, speaking through Isaiah, eloquently describes His own attribute and His faithfulness to His people. There is a sense of melancholy (v. 18) of blessings missed because of the desertion of His people. When the prophet, speaking for …

Psalm: 119:97-120 Meditation Revelation: Let’s explore these 144,000. These are first mentioned in Chapter 7 as John lists the tribes of Israel – each consisting of 12,000 souls. While we all believe there were 12 tribes – actually, it turns out, there were 13 – not unlike the Apostles + Jesus. Levi was to have …

Psalms: 53, 54 Meditation Joel: Joel speaks of “the Day of the LORD”. I promise you; you do not want to be around for that. That said, I’m afraid you may be there anyway. All that we looked at in Revelation (except the marriage of the Lamb) will be visited upon earth. Verse 12 “the …

Psalm: 143 Meditation Revelation: This is the second woe of three. First, we meet the two witnesses which as verse 4 tells us correspond to the two olive trees and two lampstands which are in heaven. These olive trees are fed by the river of life which flows through the celestial city (Rev. 22:1). The …

Psalm: 89 Meditation Revelation: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” (v. 2) The scroll is a book. At that time books were not made of paper sheets – or leaves, as they came to be called. This is the imagery with which John was familiar. The seals are another matter. …

Psalm: 7 Meditation Revelation: The Book of Revelation continues to be a mystery to me. I don’t have any profound insights on this book except to say that I think it is a glimpse of the world as seen from a heavenly perspective; what is shrouded to us is clear in heaven. We don’t see …

Psalm 17 Meditation: John – This is Jesus’ first open miracle. He mentions that his time has not yet come. It’s also mentioned that after this first revelation of his glory, his disciples believed in him. If the disciples didn’t believe in Jesus before seeing the clear water turn into drinkable wine, why were they …
