326 - A Way Forward, Part 5 of 7

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: A Way Forward, Part 5

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: As we go forward spiritually, the Lord leads us into and through a wilderness of trial, deprivation, and affliction. Why? Because in that state we become ready to betroth ourselves to the Lord.

Deuteronomy 32:9-12

Study

      

9 For Yahweh's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.

12 Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
