The Judgment of the Lord

As we continue to walk through the Word, we have discovered many insights about the Lord and about ourselves. This week, we are going to cover II Chronicles 36. Throughout the Bible, we see the Lord offering hope over and over to the people. In Jeremiah 31, in one of our previous lessons, we covered the transformational power of the New Covenant. In the midst of a very difficult time in the history of Israel, the Lord reminded the people of the hope found in the coming Messiah. This Messiah is going to bring a New Covenant between God and the children of Israel. The people of Israel were familiar with the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant was to point the people to the coming Messiah. The people were unable to obey the Old Covenant because of their sin nature. The New Covenant was going to deal with mankind’s sin nature so that those in the New Covenant would be able to obey the Lord and no longer be enslaved to their sin nature.

Peter has much to teach us on this subject. Although written 2,000 years ago, the teachings are relevant to the 21st Century person.

I do not know if you have read much about the atheist Christopher Hitchens but I have and I would like to warn other atheists about the dangers of mocking God. Mr. Hitchens’ friend, Richard Dawkins should pay very close attention to what Mr. Hitchens is experiencing at the moment. The previously mentioned Mr. Hitchens wrote a book, God is not great,
