I realize this makes two new Lessons in a row, on consecutive days. And my plan now is a Bible Study every other day here on the Website. But somehow I got out of sync! I need to share a written Lesson here on the days I do not post a video Lesson (an Evening Meditation). Hence, today’s Thought. Trying to get things back in proper order …

(Last night the Evening Meditation discussed Jude Verse 11. Well worth watching if you’re concerned about the pandemic of people departing from the Faith! To watch or listen, just visit our YouTube channel, Dr. Mike Bagwell.)

Psalm 2 has God saying, in response to the rebellion of the world: “Yet have I set my king upon MY HOLY HILL of Zion.” God the Father plans to send Jesus (God the Son) back to earth to straighten out the chaotic, sinful failure man has created.

“King Jesus,” God declares!

But look (the thrust of today’s Lesson) WHERE God is going to plant Jesus as King of Kings!

“Upon MY HOLY HILL called ZION!”

Students, that’s in Israel!

More precisely, that’s in Jerusalem!

And God just called it HIS!

God owns all the earth, true. “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalm 24:1

But specifically, God claims Israel as HIS!

Speaking to the Jews of the “Holy Land,” God firmly asserts … “The land shall not be sold for ever: FOR THE LAND IS MINE; for ye (the Jews) are strangers and sojourners with me.” Leviticus 25:23

Rebellious man may say he is going TO TAKE that Land from the people of God … but I imagine he is in for a rude awakening!

“MY HOLY HILL!”

God is King of that Mountain!

Woe be to the man or woman or religion or army or armies that tries to wrest it out of His Hand!

Not politics folks, just BIBLE!

— Dr. Mike Bagwell

“Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people (Israel): for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto HIS LAND, and to his people.” Deuteronomy 32:43, God’s Land!

And this great God, according to the Bible, has given HIS LAND to the JEWS, to the ISRAELITES! “The WHOLE LAND OF CANAAN, where you now reside as a foreigner, I WILL GIVE (hence, God is the Owner) as an EVERLASTING POSSESSION to you (Israel) and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.” Genesis 17:8, God promising Abraham!

The facts are clear!
