In an attempt to lessen tensions in the Jerusalem Church, Paul followed the appeasement plan of James, the half-brother of the Lord. This plan failed. While Paul was on the temple grounds he was recognized and grabbed. The crowd was stirred to wrath against Paul on charges that he spoke against Judaism and the temple. These charges were not entirely true, but what was true was that Paul was guilty of Christianity: preaching that a soul is saved by the finished work of Christ on the Cross and not by any work of man, including circumcision, diet, or Sabbath keeping.

Isaiah, having given Millennial Kingdom encouragement to the believers, returns to the political conditions in his part of the world — The Assyrian menace. He warns the arrogant alcoholics of the Northern Kingdom, in the palace, and the priests and prophets as well. Then, he warns Judah that the same fate awaits them because of their abandoning Yahweh and seeking Egypt’s help as well as the darkness of the spiritual realm. This all leads to his teachings being mocked by those given to alcohol, to which he responds with biting satire, and lampoons those of Judah as well for their inability to get things right.

Paul and James shared the same beliefs about Jesus Christ, but they did not share methods of ministry. The two men had a history of conflict and uneasiness with each other. They also happened to be the only two people who Christ Himself saved after His resurrection. In this section, the two meet again. Paul has with him an entourage of Gentile believers from the various churches, and they are bearing monetary gifts to the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. James and the pastors of Jerusalem are quick to get to what is making them uneasy with Paul – his teachings that the rituals of Moses are valueless for salvation. They want Paul to pay for the vows of four Jews at the temple to appease the Jews disturbed by his teachings. Not only was this outside of Paul’s principles and expensive, but it also brings about Paul’s arrest, and the appeasement failed, as they usually do.
The post Paul vs. James first appeared on Calvary Chapel Mechanicsville.
The prophet sees ahead into the Messianic Kingdom Age when Jesus returns to earth with His saints, and establishes Divine rule over the earth. His capital city will be Jerusalem and from there the nations of the world will flock to worship Him. Isaiah, who lived almost all his life under the threat of Assyrian invasion, was excited over the thought of Messiah’s rule on earth “in that day.”

We have not heard from Isaiah since the death of the good king Uzziah, nor through the reign of Uzziah’s son Jotham, because they both sought the Lord. But now, wicked Ahaz is king and there are many people in Judah who share his wicked anti-Yahweh religious views. God sends Isaiah to inform Ahaz that the alliance against him will fail, and offers the sign of a virgin who will marry and give birth. This prophecy had a near fulfillment in the days of Ahaz and Isaiah, and a far fulfillment in Mary, wife of Joseph. But Ahaz was determined to resist and reject Yahweh and His signs. Isaiah also prophesied the complete downfall of the northern kingdom, and the invasions of Egypt and Assyria into Judah, and a surviving remnant.

Paul arrives in the ancient city of Corinth, the most important trade city of ancient Greece. From the non-Christian standpoint Corinth had everything: shipping ports, Aphrodite (pagan goddess of fertility), alcohol, legalized religious prostitution, gambling, unbridled hedonism. It had pottery, bronze works, and shipbuilding yards. From the Christian standpoint, Corinth lacked the only true God and His righteousness. To resolve this, God not only sent Paul to Corinth with the gospel of Jesus Christ, but God hadmany people there just waiting to be saved and they did not yet know it. This made what lay ahead of Paul, worth the troubles.

Having been invited to share what he believes, Paul proceeded to do so with both respect and logic to this group of men who prided themselves on logic and religion. With all their idols they demonstrated that they were very religious and very wrong about their religion. Paul pointed out that God the Creator was not a lifeless idol, and though unknown to them He was ready to be known. By the time this was over some laughed at Paul, others said “maybe later,” and a few believed. Paul got out of Athens, they were too intelligent to learn the truth about God.

The prophet attempts to reach the apostate Jews in Judah with a parabolic song. Metaphorically the Promised Land of Israel is the vineyard and the people are the vine to produce fruit. The Lord did all that could be done for the people to be a fruitful people to Him but because of their apostasy and idolatry they produced only foul fruit. Join to this were the consequences of their disobedience pronounce in seven woes. The prophet told them that Hell (Sheol) could consume them, the wicked would be meals for Hell.

The apostle Paul, as were the other apostles, skilled in their calling as Christians, not because of natural ability or even the work of the Holy Spirit alone. They had to apply themselves to avail themselves of the Lord’s investments in them. Paul used his developed skills in this city of Thessalonica so successfully that Satan mustered anti-missionaries to hunt for him but he was a moving target and headed elsewhere to preach Christ.
The post Skilled Christians first appeared on Calvary Chapel Mechanicsville.
This section begins with the prophet sharing a vision of Israel’s future kingdom under the rule of the Messiah, who we know is Jesus Christ. Then the prophet once again addressed the sin in the land, the idolatry, the immorality and arrogance. This brought the call for accountability and judgment, along with an order to separate from those separated from God by their apostasy, idolatry and arrogance.

Isaiah delivers an indictment against those in Judah who are carefree about outward devotion with inward disobedience. Full of satire and rebuke the message from God is delivered without leaving doubt as to the severity of their twofaced, artificial religion, which essentially rendered God to a status of a mascot. God asks the guilty, “What is the point of religion when the God of that religion is disrespected?” Then comes the offer to resolve this and finally a lamentation over what God’s people could have been but refused to be.

Arriving where the Holy Spirit had sent them through a vision to Paul, they find women who assembled by the riverside to pray and there Paul made converts. As Paul and his group traveled the city a demon possessed girl followed them crying aloud some truth about their message, but truth from the devil must not be endorsed. Paul cast out the demon and as a result was persecuted by the people of Philippi. Here the clash between the Christian way and the way of the culture intensifies.

Zedekiah, the last Judean king, heeded not the prophet Jeremiah’s counsel to surrender to Babylon’s king, thereby dooming the people, himself, and Jerusalem. The Babylonians besieged the city, some Jews turned to cannibalism, the king tried to escape and was caught. His sons were killed before his eyes, then his eyes were put out, and he was taken to Babylon and died in prison. The book of Kings ends with the end of the Hebrew kings, the temple, the kingdom and the freedom of the people who were carried away captive.

Here are the last kings of Judah, sons of Judah’s last good king, King Josiah. All of his sons that ascended the throne after him were apostate idolaters and plunged the kingdom into God’s judgment. The prophets for millennium had been warning about the coming judgments for rejecting the God of Israel. They were not joking and subsequent history records the awful reality of their warnings and the fulfillments. The New Testament apostles and writers were not joking either about the judgments of God to come to those opposed to the Son of God.

As a result of finding the lost book of the Law of God, King Josiah was no going to allow this finding be wasted. Everything that occurs in his life since then is the direct result of Scripture in his life. He called for a national reading of Scripture, a covenant from the people to serve God, the eradication of idols from God’s house and the territories of Judah and as far as he could in Israel. Then the Passover celebration like none before. He pulverized paganism in Judah. However, his death was the result of presumption. Still, Josiah was a hero king.

Christianity would have been absorbed in to Judaism as a sect and perished had it not been for this beloved Jewish Christian named Paul. God wanted Paul to settle this question at Jerusalem once and for all: “Must converts to Christ become Jewish (by circumcision) in order to be Christians and be saved?” The answer Paul fiercely upheld was, “Absolutely not!” Then the Holy Spirit who moved Peter and James to fully support this doctrine and they did it with reason, witnesses, facts and Scripture. Then they gave guidelines to the Gentile Christians to be sensitive to the conscience and upbringing of Jewish Christians.

We meet three kings in this chapter, each one a person of interest. The first two kings, Manasseh and Amon, are of interest to lost souls. These two are similar to the two outlaws on the cross next to Christ on His Cross. The first king, Manasseh, was an apostate butcher and anti-Yahweh, yet he gets saved. His son, King Amon is as evil but does not repent and dies young and lost. Lastly we meet King Josiah, a God send.

After Paul had been stoned and dragged from the city of Lystra, miraculously he got up and went back into that city. The next day he and Barnabas departed and went to Derbe where we are told they mademany disciples. Then they returned to the places they had established churches and were also chased from. In spite of the hostilities they did their job as disciples of Jesus Christ and made more disciples, even in perilous times.
