In the Bible leprosy is often used as a picture of sin. In addition to this, leprosy is employed by God as a consequence of sin, further strengthening the connection. If there were a leprous man, God so commanded, “that they put out of the camp every leper…” [Num 5:2] This is one of the …

The Lamb of God
Moving onward into the book of Exodus we find one of the most notable pictures of Jesus within the Old Testament: the Passover Lamb. During the very last moments of Israel’s bondage in Egypt, when “God assayed to go and take Him a nation from the midst of another nation, [that is of Egypt], by …

"Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away."

Blessed Forgiveness
"The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate." [Psa 34:22] Seeing that The Bible tells us “all scripture is God-breathed,” [2 Tim 3:16] and that “the word of the Lord endureth for ever,” [1 Pe 1:25] we would do well to pay close attention …

One of the errors of Nineveh was that they were very proud. The LORD says in Zephaniah that they "dwelt carelessly" and "said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me." They rejoiced in this pride, thinking only of themselves, dwelling carelessly. The full verse says, "This is the rejoicing city that …
Valued and Fearless
Because of our value in God's sight as His children, and in Jesus' sight as His bride and disciples whom He loves and treasures, we should have absolutely no fear of man. "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall …
