The Remnant of Israel In Ezek 11:13-25, Ezekiel learned of God’s plans for the remnant of Israel.  Though he was concerned that they would all be destroyed, God told him they would be safe and return.   You might remember from our prior lesson that the residue of the people...

Jesus Sent a Sword In Matt 10:34, Jesus said that he didn’t come to send peace on earth. Jesus sent a sword, instead.  A sword is for cutting things, not mending them in peaceful reconciliation. The sharp two-edged sword of the word of God, in Heb 4:12, divides things asunder...
