Heaven!

  Judges 1:1-10(사사기: 1:1-10)    Thingking and understandting After the death of Joshua, the descendants of Israel inquired of the Lord about conquering the remaining territories and the Lord told Judah to go up and seize their territory first. Judah formed an alliance with Simeon and they demonstrated their obedience to God by following God's command and successfully conquering Bezek, Jerusalem and Hebron. Israel was not a nation led by people and military strength but a nation that moved in accordance with God's commands and by God's power(vv.1-10)  여호수아가 죽은 후에 이스라엘 자손은 가나안의 나머지 지역을 점령하기 위해서 주님께 물었고, 주님은 유다가 가장 먼저 올라가서 그들의 지역을 점령하라고 하십니다. 유다는 시므온과 동맹을 맺고 하나님의 명령을 따라 베섹과 예루살렘과 헤브론을 성공적으로 점령함으로써 순종하는 모습을 보여줍니다. 이스라엘은 사람과 군사력을 따르는 나라가 아니라, 하나님의 명령과 힘으로 움직이는 나라입니다(1-10절). Who is God? vv.1-10 Even after Joshua died, the battles continued. This was because the Israelites had not yet fulfilled their mission. Let's not give up on work that God has not yet finished because o...

Ezekiel 44:1-31 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east. And it was shut. 2  And the Lord said to me, “This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the Lord , the God of Israel, has entered by it. Therefore it shall remain shut. 3  Only the prince may sit in it to eat bread before the Lord . He shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.” 4  Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple, and I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple of the Lord . And I fell on my face. 5  And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I shall tell you concerning all the statutes of the temple of the Lord and all its laws. And mark well the entrance to the temple and all the exits from the sanctuary. 6  And say to the rebellious house, [ a ] to the ho...

Ezekiel 43:1-27 Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing east. 2  And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. 3  And the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen when he [ a ] came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face. 4  As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east, 5  the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. 6  While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple, 7  and he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their k...

Ezekiel 40:1-8 40  In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on that very day, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me to the city. [ a ] 2  In visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south. 3  When he brought me there, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. 4  And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.” The East Gate to the Outer Court 5  And behold, there was a wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length o...

Ezekiel 39:1-29   “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God : Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech [ a ] and Tubal. 2  And I will turn you about and drive you forward, [ b ] and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel. 3  Then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4  You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5  You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God . 6  I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord . 7  “And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned a...

 Ezekiel 38`:1-23   Prophecy Against Gog 38  The word of the Lord came to me: 2  “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech [ a ] and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3  and say, Thus says the Lord God : Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech [ b ] and Tubal. 4  And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5  Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6  Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you. 7  “Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8  After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will ...

Ezekiel37:15-28 I Will Be Their God; They Shall Be My People 15  The word of the Lord came to me: 16  “Son of man, take a stick [ a ] and write on it, ‘For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him.’ 17  And join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. 18  And when your people say to you, ‘Will you not tell us what you mean by these?’ 19  say to them, Thus says the Lord God : Behold, I am about to take the stick of Joseph (that is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with him. And I will join with it the stick of Judah, [ b ] and make them one stick, that they may be one in my hand. 20  When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes, 21  then say to them, Thus says the Lord God : Behold, I will take the people of Israel from ...
