A Perverse Generation, Deut 32:5
In the song of Moses, Deut 32:4-5 says, “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.” To […]
Dwell Together in Unity, Ps 133:1
Unity is the state of being one. God is three persons and yet he is one [1 Jn 5:7]. Unity is a thing undivided in itself, but separate from every other thing. Ps 122:3, “Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together.” When Jesus returns, Jerusalem will be undivided, and there will […]

Recently, I heard Joel Haynes preach on this text and apply the characteristics of these three animals and the king to Jesus Christ.
