DEUTERONOMY 17-18:
In
yesterday's reading we heard about the release of debts and slaves
in the Jubilee Year (also called the year of restoration), and a
reminder about 100% participation for the males in three
festivals.
PSALM 58:
This
poem celebrates that God will indeed give justice to His people,
even though many times it seems to us that there is no justice on
earth.
ACTS 13a:
In
yesterday’s reading, we heard how Herod decided to go after the top
apostles, killing James. But Peter escaped. As a result, 16
soldiers died. Then Herod met his richly deserved end.
NLT Translation
notes:
Deut.
17:22 If the prophet speaks in [my//the
LORD’s] name but his
prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that
[I, the LORD//the LORD] did not give that message. That prophet has
spoken without my authority and need not be
feared.’
====
Ps.
58:9 [You, O] God will sweep [those unjust
people/them] away,
both
young and old,
faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
====
Acts
13:52 And the believers [there]
were filled with joy and with the
Holy Spirit.
