Do we really have two covenants in opposition and contrast, or rather one eternal covenant with different facets that progressively unfolds and renews itself in order to fulfill God’s purposes and demonstrate His faithfulness?Read and listen to, ISRAEL, THE CHURCH, AND THE ETERNAL COVENANT • PART I by Paulo Maranatha now.
From the beginning, God has been telling a story of redemption. It is a story that is unfolding on the world stage and it is vital that we understand this story.Read and listen to, THE REMNANT NOW, ALL ISRAEL THEN: PAUL’S EXPLANATION OF THE PROPHETS by Joel Richardson now.
“No one in this day and age is tasked with creating the fixture that will host the manifest Presence of the Holy. Still, as with so much of Scripture, we can glean from and lean on principles set forth in the stories. This neglected element of the Exodus serves us with something of our own blueprint: To honor the dignity God gives to the creative, beautiful excellence of artisans made by Him to make things that reflect Him, and to provide beautiful means for a nation to encounter the beautiful Truth. Perhaps we need this now more than ever."Read and listen to, TO BUILD A TABLE by Stephanie Quick now.
“Abraham staked his entire life—and that of his covenantal son—on the dream given to him through promises: the city whose builder and maker is God.”Read and listen to, PROMISE & PURSUIT • ABRAHAM'S HOLY DREAM by Stephanie Quick now.
“Why would the friends of Israel suffer demonic oppression? Because the Devil never forgets who sides with the Jews.”Read and listen to, WHAT IS (REALLY) HAPPENING IN IRAN? by Nikolai Boyadjiev now.
“Humility permeates the teachings of Jesus as a conviction of the certainty of God’s coming Day. The table will most certainly be reorganized one day.”Read and listen to HUMILITY & ESCHATOLOGY by Bill Scofield now.
“Such stories matter because they remind us who we are: people of faith, people of the Book, and a people who know that friendship with the world is enmity with God. We lose our way when we fail to distinguish ourselves from the world—that is, from the broader culture. That is how you lose your identity, your faith, and ultimately how we lose our children to secularism and godlessness.”Read and listen to, THE BENEDICT OPTION AT MY SYNAGOGUE by Daniel Lancaster now.GIVE TO THE EMMAUS TABLE https://www.theemmaustable.world/donate
“The more we long for the return of the Lord, the more we will find ourselves drawn into His purposes among the nations—especially in the Middle East, the central stage of the redemptive drama.”Read and listen to, PAUL'S ANGUISH AND THE HEART OF GOD: PART 4 by Paulo Maranatha now.
Passover & the Return of Messiah: The holy plot twist, and what it means for the next time He'll part creation to make a passageway.This article was originally published April 19, 2019 in time for Passover in Israel that year. It is reprinted here at THE EMMAUS TABLE as a cited source for both DEATH+ KINGDOM I: THE DEATH OF DEATH and COVENANT AND CONTROVERSY: THE GREAT REIGN Read and listen to, THE SON NOT SPARED • WHEN DEATH DID NOT PASS OVER by Stephanie Quick now.
“Asking someone to teach the Bible without mentioning Israel is a bit like asking a professor to teach the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe without mentioning Narnia.”Read and listen to, C.S. LEWIS & THE CONTROVERSY OF ZION by Grayson Borders now.
“It is no wonder marketing drives capitalism. So much money and effort is put into creating advertisement that captures the eye. The more our eyes are exposed to something, the greater the chance we will start thinking that 'object' is important and that we really need it in our lives. We will eventually start actively seeking that 'object.'”Read and listen to, DISTRACTION, NUMBNESS AND THE CARES OF THIS LIFE • PART II by Susana Maranatha now.
"If you have raced with runners and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?" Read and listen to ANTICIPATING HORSES & THICKETS by Bill Scofield now.
“Throughout history, the descendants of Ishmael have indeed become a vast multitude—but they have not yet become a great nation in the purposes of God. That promise still awaits fulfillment before the end of this age.”Read and listen to, PAUL'S ANGUISH AND THE HEART OF GOD: PART 3 by Paulo Maranatha now.
If we want to have clarity today and endurance through our remaining tomorrows, we would do well to become literate in the prophets ourselves, remembering a critical principle: The Scriptures are no ordinary texts vulnerable to the scrutiny of our own wavering criticisms; we must submit to the Scriptures. The Scriptures are under no burden to submit to us. Read and listen to, CAPTIVES, HOSTAGES, & PROMISES by Stephanie Quick now.
"There is hardly a better apology for the state of weakness on the pages of the Bible. In a world and culture that extolled power and success (always a pagan obsession), the apostle Paul embraced everything that made his life miserable."Read and listen to, THE GOSPEL OF WEAKNESS by Nikolai Boyadjiev now.
“The warning is clear and so relevant for our days: it is possible to be so engaged in normal, daily activities; to be so distracted by news and events; so busy pursuing hobbies and inoffensive passions, that we become numb to the prophecies, careless about the times we are living… and That Day of Judgement catches us surprise.”Read and listen to, DISTRACTION, NUMBNESS AND THE CARES OF THIS LIFE • PART I by Susana Maranatha now.
“The primary goal of our lives in this age is to bear witness to the King and the Kingdom that’s coming. Sometimes God will use miracles to accomplish this witness; often He uses our faithfulness through suffering instead.”Read and listen to, GEN Z: MIRACLES & MARTYRDOM by Grayson Borders now.
“Domestication is the process of taking something that is naturally wild and taming it to make it suitable to fit within a domestic world… the domestication of the Gospel causes it to lose the sharp edge of confrontation that disciples so desperately need. ”Read and listen to, THE PERIL OF DOMESTICATING THE GOSPEL by Bill Scofield now.
“The prophets foresaw both Israel’s stumbling and the salvation of the Gentiles, culminating in Israel’s restoration. Paul grasped this divine mystery: Jesus will not return until a remnant from every nation is gathered in, and this ingathering of the nations will lead to the salvation of all Israel.”Read and listen to, PAUL'S ANGUISH AND THE HEART OF GOD: PART 2 by Paulo Maranatha now.
“The prophets and the apostles had access to that pain, they embraced it as their own, they felt it, and contrary to any intuition it obviously sustained them. It is counterintuitive and paradoxical indeed that pain could sustain, and build-up character. Unless that pain is the expression of undying love…” Read and listen to, "Undying Love & Discipleship" by Nikolai Boyadjiev now.
