347 Sunday, December 13, 2009

347 1 Chronicles 27 – 29; Revelation 8

David calls the leaders together and speaks to them about the future. David is preparing them for the transition of leadership and the vision of the Temple. David's instruction about how to retain the land was about obedience to the Lord. To Solomon, David let him know that the Lord would be with him. He also encouraged his son to seek the Lord and to be brave in his leadership. David addresses the issue of building the Temple and asks for donations. First David gave and then asked for others to give to this God inspired project. There are so many leadership lessons in David's life that books could be written about them. David ruled for forty years. What have you learned from David?

It would seem in the last days that the actual earth is deeply affected by cataclysmic events. Some would say that these are just metaphorical and not actual events. I respectfully disagree with those who propose that interpretation. This is certainly apocalyptic language, but within that language there can be actual realities. These angels are sent to bring destruction to earth. The question is when is it going to happen or has it already happened? By the way, Jesus wins.
