Although
God allowed His Nation of Promise to be taken into captivity, He had accurately
foretold that they would return after a period of 70 years
·
Ezra
and Nehemiah were actively involved in seeking these promises
·
A
large number of the Jews did return to Jerusalem at that time
·
However,
the Bible still contains many promises that relate to an ingathering of a
remnant of the descendants of the whole 12 Tribes, which are yet to be
fulfilled
·
Scripture
tells that these promises relate to the Latter Days, or the Day of the Lord, which
will align with the return of Jesus Christ to reign on this earth
·
Those
seeking God in their hearts will have a desire to want to be obedient to His
Commandments, and at Jesus’ return will enter the Promised Land – being the
redemption of spirit and soul and body.
Hymn 88: Clothed with God’s Strength
Message
Hymn 72:
Personal Response to the Promises
Doxology
And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13).
