.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou
knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
Just as it's dishonest to attempt to cash a check not made out to you, so it's
dishonest to attempt to usurp an offer not given to you. Jer 33
:3 was offered
neither to you nor to me
: it was offered to Jeremiah.
†. Jer 33
:1-3
. . Moreover the word of Yhvh came unto Jeremiah the second
time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying
: Thus
testifies Yhvh— the maker thereof, Yhvh that formed it, to establish it
; Yhvh
is His name —call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and
mighty things, which you know not.
Here's another one that I see Christians attempting to usurp for themselves.
†. 2Chrn 7
:14
. . If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways
;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land.
To begin with "my people" are the Jews, and "their land" is Israel. To end
with
: Christians don't have a "their land" no
; they have a kingdom.
†. Col 1
:13
. . He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and
translated us into the kingdom of His dear son
†. Heb 12
:28
. .Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved,
let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence
and godly fear
†. Heb 13
:14
. . For here we have no permanent city, but we seek one to
come.
