2 Chronicles 34, Ecclesiastes 10, Matthew 22:1-22

What God said to me – The Northern Kingdom of Israel went into captivity to Assyria as judgment for turning away from Me to serve idols rather than Me.  The Southern Kingdom of Judah was headed in the same direction of captivity and judgment as they turned from Me to idol worship.  However, I in My mercy sent prophets to warn them of what was coming, and I gave them one last godly king – King Josiah – as an example of godly living and what it was to walk wholeheartedly with Me.  You are living in a similar time.  Judgment is coming.  Time is running out.  So how are you to live?  What are you to do?  Like the prophets of old, you are to warn people of the coming judgment and call them to repent and to turn to Me while there is still time.  Like King Josiah, you are to be a godly example of what it means to walk with Me and to serve Me wholeheartedly.  Let your commitment and devotion to Me be known and call others to do the same.

2 Chronicles 33, Ecclesiastes 9, Matthew 21:23-46

What God said to me – There are people in your life that you think are never going to change – they’ll never give up their sin – they’ll never be saved no matter what happens to them or how bad things get.  But you are not Me – you don’t know who “I AM” going to save or when “I AM” going to do it.  Look at Manasseh – he was one of the evilest kings of Judah ever.  He worshipped idols and even set them up in My temple.  He sacrificed his sons to idols and practiced witchcraft, and he misled his nation – My people – into these same evil practices.  But then I judged him severely and, in his distress, this evil man everyone thought was beyond redemption turned to Me and acknowledged Me as God – he humbled himself and repented and went to work to reverse the damage he had done to his nation.  So, learn from Manasseh’s example.  Your sin is never so great that I won’t forgive when you humbly repent and no one is beyond redemption.

2 Chronicles 32, Ecclesiastes 8, Matthew 21:1-27

What God said to me – The enemy, Satan, is a great deceiver and in these last days he is causing a great delusion to fall upon the world.  One tactic he is using is to try to convince the world that all “gods” are the same – that people are all worshiping Me but calling Me by different names – Buddha or Krishna or Allah, etc. – so it doesn’t matter “who” they worship because they are all the same.  Sennacherib the king of Assyria tried a similar tactic when his armies were besieging Jerusalem.  He tried to convince the people of Jerusalem that their God was the same as the “gods” of the nations he had defeated so they better surrender or face the same fate.  The problem for Sennacherib was that My people knew Me personally and they knew that “I AM” God Almighty, the one true God and the “gods” of the other nations were the work of men’s hands and nothing more.  King Hezekiah and the people of Judah turned to Me for their deliverance and I saved them.  Never forget that your deliverance – your help in time of trouble – is not a “god”, or an army, or a medicine, or money, or success, or anything else but Me – God Almighty – the One True God – the Great “I AM”.
