Watching And Waiting
Just over 2000 years ago today was going to turn out to be a very special day. It would be a day that we as believers would look to as the source for our lives changing forever. It was the end of the third day after Yeshua (Jesus) had died on the cross. There was only one sign given to the Jews, the sign of Jonah.
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
We see from this scripture that Yeshua (Jesus) had to be three days and nights in the earth, just as the prophet Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, or Yeshua (Jesus) would have been considered a false prophet. Since we know He did not lie, then we know that He was there three days. We know that sometime near twilight today is the anniversary of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ)! Isn’t it interesting that today many who profess great authority in the spiritual kingdom tell us contrary to the words of Yeshua (Jesus), just as the Sanhedrin of His day?
For me and my house, we will go with what our Messiah said.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High King of the universe. We praise and thank the name of Yahuah (Lord). You alone are worthy of all praise and glory. Send us today Your abundant provision. Magnify our ability to get wealth as You said in Your scriptures. Make men to know that You alone are the One True God. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up that we no longer look at our past to define our future, but that we look to You. Deliver us from those that would steal from us what You have provided. Crush their efforts to powder. Confuse them and those that follow them. Make their comings and goings froth with confusion. Show Yourself strong on our behalf. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
