Moses: Dynasty and Beyond (Kingdom Visionaries 1, Part 7)
“Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
Your father’s children shall bow down before you.
Judah is a lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes;
And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Genesis 49.8-10
Bridge to the kingdom
Moses represents in many ways a bridge to a fuller, broader understanding of God and His Kingdom. We recall that Moses is the author of the Law of God, the first five books of the Bible. His purpose in compiling and writing these books was to establish Israel as a people directly descended from God through Adam, Abraham, and the patriarchs. They were a people of God’s covenant, mandated to rule the earth and exercise dominion under their Most High King.
Repent, Fool!
Ecclesiastes 11.10
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh,
For childhood and youth are vanity.
Holiness
Foundations of a Worldview
“You shall be holy, for I the LORDyour God amholy.” Leviticus 19.2
Psalm 119:13
Crosfigell on 1/14/11, counseled I should not let a day go by without sharing the Good News with someone. I know that there have been many days in my life that this has not been true; it is honored more in the breech than in the commission. Lord, I repent of my unfaithfulness. Transform me!
