EZEKIEL 24-25:
Yesterday in Ezekiel we heard the shockingly
graphic story of the two adulterous sisters, which were really the
cities of Samaria and Jerusalem.
ISAIAH 8:
In
yesterday’s reading, Isaiah was sent to Ahaz, and the message to
the king contains a prophecy that probably had two fulfillments—
one in King Ahaz’ time and another at Jesus’ birth: “The virgin
will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call
him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).” Had the New Testament
not explicitly stated that Jesus’ birth was a fulfillment of this
verse, the similarity would be considered just an interesting
coincidence.
HEBREWS 4:
In
chapter 3 we read about God promising another day for the
fulfillment of giving Israel a place of rest. And that other day is
called ‘today’!
