“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 25: 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

He breaks the hardened heart and delivers the soul

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days when our God redeemed the people of Israel from Egypt and led them the people who saw the power of God with their eyes praised God greatly and glorified Him. Once they received their deliverance, they realized that in their lives there is no one like God. They sang in that manner. We meditated this in the past days from the book of the prophet Daniel that this is in our life, in our soul which is the book. That is, the God who showed the vision says seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future. So where can it be sealed up. The vision seen can be sealed up only in the soul.

We come to know that saying that it refers to many days in the future means for Messiah to come. It is written in the book of prophet Daniel that Messiah will come and he will be cut off.

Daniel 9: 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”

When we meditate upon this, he is telling us to seal up the vision in our soul only. Again, through his prophets he is telling that the sacrifices and offerings given in the Old Testament, God does not desire it anymore. 

This is because Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. But the Israelites had many abominations in their heart and while keeping the gods of Baal and being conformed to the world they offered sacrifices and offerings. Therefore, God is saying I will not accept your offerings and sacrifices; I do not desire in it. 

Therefore, David realizes his sin Psalms 51: 16 – 19 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; you do not delight in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, you will not despise.

Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

From this what we understand is that Messiah will be cut off for us. Till the one who makes us desolate (Satan) is consumed, his blood will be poured. In this manner, for a pattern he sends Messiah, who is Christ to this world, and kills him, and he is buried and then he resurrects and for Christ to establish the kingdom of God within us, according to the word of God, he raises Christ in us and to make us realize the knowledge about God, our God is working within us. After that he is being sacrificed within us. For each one of us he is being sacrificed only once. That is why, God is telling to keep the dream hidden in the heart and till the time of the end of Daniel and he is telling that shut up the words and seal the book.

These words, which is Christ Daniel 12: 1 “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

People who are sleeping in the dust of the earth means God is saying about our soul which is captive. If there is Egypt in us, we are asleep in the dust of the earth. But those whose names are written in his Book of Life means the holy ones. Holy ones are those who dwell in Jerusalem. (Those who put on Christ). They will leave the world, riches, fame everything and be at rest. They are the ones who have worn Christ.

Regarding them God is saying some will be awake to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Regarding these God is telling that at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.  In this manner, God’s word, through Christ breaks the door of our heart and God delivers our soul which is asleep and leads us towards his nation Canaan. But those who did not listen to the voice of God or those who listened but kept Egypt as their shelter will drown in the sea. That is the word of God says that the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

But God tells Daniel that shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end;  means that Christ will open our soul that is God sent Christ to this earth and after he died they put a seal over the grave and he broke that seal and we see that he resurrected. This God is showing us as a pattern. We see that to break Egypt (hardened heart of Pharaoh) Christ manifests himself as the Lion of Judah.

In this manner if our soul is asleep in the dust, God is awakening them for everlasting life.

In this manner, those who have been awakened for everlasting life are shown by God as Israel as a pattern. When the Israelites were delivered Exodus 15: 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”  

In this manner, in our race of faith we will be victorious.                    

May the Lord bless you all abundantly. Let us pray.
