1.1 God Sings a Song

I was reading this scripture on Tuesday, and I was like, “Wow! This is awesome!” So I started to sing it out loud. The words were so beautiful. I hope to hear people with better voices than me singing it someday. It just shows the tender love God has for his chosen people. Israel, you will experience this peace someday. It just struck me that the Lord actually sings.

Zephaniah 3:9-20

“Then I will purify the speech of all people,
so that everyone can worship the Lord together.
10 My scattered people who live beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
will come to present their offerings.
11 On that day you will no longer need to be ashamed,
for you will no longer be rebels against me.
I will remove all proud and arrogant people from among you.
There will be no more haughtiness on my holy mountain.
12 Those who are left will be the lowly and humble,
for it is they who trust in the name of the Lord.
13 The remnant of Israel will do no wrong;
they will never tell lies or deceive one another.
They will eat and sleep in safety,
and no one will make them afraid.”
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 For the Lord will remove his hand of judgment
and will disperse the armies of your enemy.
And the Lord himself, the King of Israel,
will live among you!
At last your troubles will be over,
and you will never again fear disaster.
16 On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be,
“Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid!
17 For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
18 “I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals;
you will be disgraced no more.
19 And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you.
I will save the weak and helpless ones;
I will bring together
those who were chased away.
I will give glory and fame to my former exiles,
wherever they have been mocked and shamed.
20 On that day I will gather you together
and bring you home again.
I will give you a good name, a name of distinction,
among all the nations of the earth,
as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Jesus is the promised Messiah and He will return. You can see where scriptures have been fulfilled. And you can see the proof of it, through archeology and science. Yeshua of Nazareth fulfilled every scripture ever spoken during His life here on earth. Take a look for yourself. Read the Torah and the prophets. Then take a look at the New Testament and you can see the prophecies come to fruition. For instance, read Isaiah 53. Then read the crucifixion in one the Gospels.

And to my Jewish brothers and sisters, I want you to know, Jesus wasn’t some guy against the Jewish people, he was a Jew Himself. If you take the time to read the New Testament, you will see it for yourself. Jesus wasn’t down on the law, he fulfilled it. The hope of your promised Messiah, isn’t gonna happen in the future. It already happened. He was born in this world and grew up and gave His life on the cross as a pure, spotless lamb and purified our iniquity. And on the third day, by the hand of God, He rose from the dead. Then he ascended into heaven. And He’s returning.

So fulfill your destiny. Become the bearers of good news. That Messiah has come. He’s the Savior, the only savior of the world.
