Plague
PLAGUE
Think
it not strange when some mutant
strain of
a deadly virus invades the nations of the world. Witness,
trusting God, the appearing of hurtful
insects and inclement
weather
contrary to tradition that
hamper planting
and
harvesting activities.
Some
such happenings are furthering of God’s great plan. Some are spoken
into existence by boastful men of authority and some of nonchalant
citizens
walking boldly into the face of death unconcerned.
Children of God, covered in the blood of the lamb, need to know God,
obey His Word and be not afraid. When
we see the troubling of normalcy
in our world, know that it is the “beginning of sorrow” as spoken
by Jesus. Christians
are those who have the sacrificial blood of Jesus upon them in spirit
through faith. Scripture
makes clear that it is the Blood that has life and Christs blood that
redeems us.
Job
38:17 “Have
the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors
of the shadow of death?
(Surly
we have! See God’s word):
Exodus
6:1
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more
upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence:
Exodus
4
“And
Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into
the midst of Egypt:
5
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the
firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the
firstborn of the maidservant that is
behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
(Exodus
12:13)
“And
the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall
not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Exodus
12 21
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,
Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
passover. 22
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it
in the blood that is
in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the
blood that is
in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house
until the morning. (23)
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he
seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD
will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in
unto your houses to smite you.”
Thus
we who have the blood applied spiritually to our lives and
have
a Passover
of certain deaths if we believe.Hebrews
9:12
“Nether
by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
25
“Whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
Romans
5:9 “Much
more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.”
Hebrews 3:20
Hebrews 3:20
“Now
the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the
everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do
his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ; to whom be
glory for ever and ever. Amen. Know God, know peace. 05-26-2020 BLL
