Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
__ Exekiel 39
Lord of Hosts, what will the strong nations of the world do when You come against them with Your almighty power? No assault against Your holy mountain will ever be successful. Your Name will be exalted there forever. We long for that place and that time when it will be so clear that You are our All in all. The coming judgment of the earth will be a frightening and devastating thing. Who can understand it? Who can really feel it and know it? We are thankful that we know only small tastes of this coming horror. We are grateful that we will never really experience that eternal curse. Though we have dealt treacherously with You and Your people to our shame, Your Son has taken the full weight of Your wrath against us for our sin. You will vindicate Your holiness in bringing great blessing upon us, for on the cross Your Son has already faced the judgment that was against us.
__ Psalm 97
Almighty Father, You rule over the earth. You are a mighty God. You should be feared by all men. All the earth should worship You. There is no god that men can make with their own hands. We have been made by You. We love You, O Lord. We turn away from evil. We rejoice in You.
__ Daniel 12
Lord God Almighty, carry Your people through the great tribulation that will come against the earth. Help us in the day of rebellion and apostasy. Guard us from the wrath of the most powerful adversaries. We do not know the day or the hour of the times that are coming. We do know You. We know Your Son. We know that He will surely have a great victory and vindication when He returns. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of Your Holy Name.
__ Matthew 28
Lord of Hosts, Your Son is risen! The stone is rolled away and the tomb is empty. More than this, our Risen Savior has met with His disciples. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. We must go forth and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Triune Name. We will teach and do what He has commanded. Our confidence is in His presence, for He is with us always, even to the end of the age. Cast far away from us all doubt. Strengthen us by Your Spirit that we might stand firm in the face of every foe, for Jesus is Lord, forever and ever.
