Lamentations 4



The Punishment of Zion



1 (La 2:19; Eze 7:19-22) How the gold has become dim!

How the most fine gold has changed!

The stones of the sanctuary lie scattered

at the head of every street.

2 (Jer 19:11; Isa 30:14) The precious sons of Zion,

comparable to fine gold,

how they are esteemed as earthen pots,

the work of a potter's hands!

3 (Isa 49:15; Eze 5:10) Even the jackals offer the breast;

they nurse their young,

yet the daughter of my people has become cruel,

like ostriches in the wilderness.

4 (Ps 22:15; La 2:11-12) The tongue of the infant cleaves

to the roof of his mouth for thirst;

the children beg for bread,

but no one divides it for them.

5 (Am 6:3-7; 2Sa 1:24) Those who once ate delicacies

are desolate in the streets;

those who were brought up in scarlet

embrace ash heaps.

6 (Ge 19:25; Lk 10:12) For the iniquity of the daughter of my people

is greater than the sin of Sodom,

which was overthrown in a moment,

and no hands were wrung for her.

7 (Ps 51:7) Her princes were purer than snow,

whiter than milk;

their bodies were more ruddy than rubies,

their appearance like sapphire.

8 (Job 30:30; Ps 102:3-5) Their form is blacker than coal;

they are not recognized in the streets;

their skin cleaves to their bones,

it has become as dry as wood.

9 (Lev 26:39; Eze 24:23) Those killed by the sword

are better off than those who die of hunger,

for they pine away,

stricken for want of the fruits of the field.

10 (La 2:20; Isa 49:15) The hands of compassionate women

have boiled their own children;

they became their food in the destruction

of the daughter of my people.

11 (Jer 7:20; Eze 22:31) The Lord has fulfilled His fury,

He has poured out His fierce anger.

He kindled a fire in Zion,

and it has devoured its foundations.

12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world,

would not have believed

that the adversary and the enemy could enter

the gates of Jerusalem.

13 (Jer 5:31; 6:13) This was for the sins of her prophets

and the iniquities of her priests,

who poured out in her midst the blood of the righteous.

14 (Jer 2:34; Nu 19:16) They wandered,

blind, in the streets;

they have defiled themselves with blood,

so that no one could touch their garments.

15 They cried out to them, "Depart! Unclean!

Depart, depart, do not touch us!"

Therefore they fled and wandered;

men among the nations said,

"They shall live with us no longer."

16 (Isa 9:14-16; La 5:12) The presence of the Lord scattered them;

He will regard them no more;

they do not respect the priests,

nor show favor to the elders.

17 (Eze 29:16; Isa 20:5) Our eyes failed us,

watching vainly for help;

in our watchtowers we watched

for a nation that could not save us.

18 (Am 8:2; Eze 7:2-12) They tracked our steps

so that we could not walk in our streets.

Our end drew near; our days were numbered,

for our end had come.

19 (Isa 5:26-28; Jer 4:13) Our pursuers were swifter

than the eagles of the skies.

They pursued us on the mountains;

they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

20 (Ge 2:7; 2Sa 19:21) The breath of our life, the anointed king of the Lord,

was captured in their traps,

of whom we said, "Under his shadow

we shall live among the nations."

21 (Job 1:1; Ps 137:7) Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,

you who dwell in the land of Uz!

The cup shall also pass to you;

you shall become drunk and strip yourself bare.

22 (Isa 40:2; Ps 137:7) The punishment of your iniquity,

O daughter of Zion, is accomplished;

He shall exile you no longer.

He shall punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom;

He will expose your sins!



[1] How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the

stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.

[2] The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they

esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

[3] Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young

ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the

wilderness.

[4] The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for

thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.

[5] They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that

were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

[6] For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is

greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a

moment, and no hands stayed on her.

[7] Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they

were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

[8] Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets:

their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

[9] They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain

with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the

fruits of the field.

[10] The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they

were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

[11] The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce

anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations

thereof.

[12] The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not

have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the

gates of Jerusalem.

[13] For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that

have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,

[14] They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted

themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.

[15] They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch

not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They

shall no more sojourn there.

[16] The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them:

they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

[17] As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we

have watched for a nation that could not save us.

[18] They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near,

our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

[19] Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued

us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

[20] The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in

their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.

[21] Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of

Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and

shalt make thyself naked.

[22] The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion;

he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine

iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.



Lamentations 5



A Prayer for Restoration



1 (Ps 44:13-16; La 3:61) Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us;

look, and see our reproach!

2 (Zep 1:13; Isa 1:7) Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,

our homes to foreigners.

3 (Jer 18:21; Ex 22:24) We have become orphans and fatherless;

our mothers are like widows.

4 (Isa 3:1) We must pay for the water we drink; our wood is sold to us.

5 (Ne 9:36-37) Our pursuers are at our necks; we labor and have no rest.

6 (Hos 9:3; 12:1) We have given our hand to Egypt and to Assyria,

to be satisfied with bread.

7 (Jer 16:12; 31:29) Our fathers sinned and are no more,

but we bear their iniquities.

8 (Ne 5:15; Zec 11:6) Slaves rule over us;

there is no one to deliver us from their hand.

9 (Jer 40:9-12) We get our bread at the peril of our lives,

because of the sword in the wilderness.

10 (La 4:8; Job 30:30) Our skin is hot as an oven,

because of the terrible famine.

11 (Zec 14:2; Isa 13:16) They ravished the women in Zion,

the virgins in the cities of Judah.

12 (La 4:16; Isa 47:6) Princes were hung up by their hands,

the faces of elders were not honored.

13 (Jdg 16:21) Young men ground at the millstones;

boys staggered under loads of wood.

14 (Jer 7:34) The elders have left the city gate,

the young men stopped their music.

15 (Am 8:10) The joy of our hearts has ceased;

our dancing has turned into mourning.

16 (Ps 89:39; Jer 13:18) The crown has fallen from our head;

woe to us, for we have sinned!

17 (Isa 1:5; La 2:11) For this our heart is faint;

for these things our eyes grow dim;

18 (Mic 3:12) because of Mount Zion, which is desolate,

with foxes walking upon it.

19 (Ps 102:12; 45:6) You, O Lord, remain forever;

Your throne endures from generation to generation.

20 (Ps 13:1; 44:24) Why do You forget us forever,

and forsake us for so long a time?

21 (Ps 80:3; Jer 31:18) Restore us to Yourself, O Lord, that we may return!

Renew our days as of old,

22 (Ps 60:1-2) unless You have utterly rejected us,

and are very angry with us.



Lamentations 5

[1] Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

[2] Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

[3] We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

[4] We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

[5] Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

[6] We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be

satisfied with bread.

[7] Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

[8] Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of

their hand.

[9] We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the

wilderness.

[10] Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

[11] They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.

[12] Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not

honoured.

[13] They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.

[14] The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

[15] The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

[16] The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

[17] For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

[18] Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk

upon it.

[19] Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to

generation.

[20] Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

[21] Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days

as of old.

[22] But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.



Ezekiel 28



A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre



1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:

2 (Eze 28:9; 2Th 2:4; Isa 31:3) Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre,

Thus says the Lord God:

Because your heart is lifted up,

and you have said, "I am a god;

I sit in the seat of gods

in the midst of the seas,"

yet you are a man, and not God,

though you set your heart as the heart of God.

3 (Da 1:20; 5:11-12) You are wiser than Daniel;

there is no secret that is a match for you.

4 With your wisdom and with your understanding,

you have obtained riches for yourself,

and have obtained gold and silver

into your treasuries;

5 (Ps 62:10; 52:7) by your great wisdom, by your trade,

you have increased your riches,

and your heart is lifted up

because of your riches.

6 (Eze 28:2; Ex 9:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God:

Because you have set your heart

as the heart of God,

7 (Eze 31:12; 30:11) therefore, I will bring strangers upon you,

the most cruel of the nations;

and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,

and defile your brightness.

8 (Eze 27:26-27; 27:34) They shall bring you down to the pit,

and you shall die the death of those who are slain

in the midst of the seas.

9 (Eze 28:2) Will you yet say before him who slays you,

"I am a god,"

although you are a man and not God,

in the hands of those who wound you?

10 (Eze 31:18; 32:19) You shall die the death of the uncircumcised

by the hand of strangers;

for I have spoken! says the Lord God.



A Lament for the King of Tyre



11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

12 (Eze 19:1; 26:17) Son of man, take up a lamentation

over the king of Tyre and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

You had the seal of perfection,

full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 (Eze 27:16; 31:8-9) You were in Eden,

the garden of God;

every precious stone was your covering:

the sardius, topaz, and the diamond,

the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,

the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold.

The workmanship of your settings and sockets was in you;

on the day that you were created, they were prepared.

14 (Ex 25:17-20; 30:26) You were the anointed cherub that covers,

and I set you there;

you were upon the holy mountain of God;

you walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 (Eze 27:3-4; 28:3-6) You were perfect in your ways

from the day that you were created,

until iniquity was found in you.

16 (Hab 2:17; Ge 3:24) By the multitude of your merchandise,

you were filled with violence in your midst,

and you sinned;

therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God;

and I have destroyed you, O covering cherub,

from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 (Eze 28:2; 28:5) Your heart was lifted up

because of your beauty;

you have corrupted your wisdom

by reason of your brightness;

I cast you to the ground,

I lay you before kings, that they may see you.

18 (Mal 4:3; Am 1:9-10) You have defiled your sanctuaries

by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trade;

therefore I have brought fire out from your midst;

it has devoured you,

and I have turned you to ashes upon the earth

in the sight of all those who see you.

19 (Eze 26:21) All those who know you among the people

are astonished at you;

you are a terror,

and you shall cease to be forever.



A Prophecy Against Sidon



20 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

21 (Eze 6:2; Ge 10:15) Son of man, set your face toward Sidon

and prophesy against her

22 (Eze 39:13; Ex 14:4) and say, Thus says the Lord God:

I am against you, O Sidon;

and I will be glorified in your midst;

and they shall know that I am the Lord,

when I execute judgments in her

and display My holiness in her.

23 (Eze 38:22) For I will send pestilence into her,

and blood into her streets;

and the wounded shall fall in her midst

by the sword upon her on every side;

and they shall know that I am the Lord.

24 (Nu 33:55; Jos 23:13) There shall be no more a pricking brier

to the house of Israel, nor any painful thorn among all

who are around them, who despised them. Then they shall know that

I am the Lord God.



The Future Blessing for Israel



25 (Ps 106:47; Jer 23:8) Thus says the Lord God: When I gather

the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered

and display My holiness in them in the sight of the nations,

then they shall dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob.

26 (Eze 28:22; 28:24) They shall dwell safely in it and shall build houses

and plant vineyards and dwell securely when I execute judgments on all those

around them who despise them. Then they shall know that

I am the Lord their God.



Ezekiel 28

[1] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;

Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in

the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God,

though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

[3] Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can

hide from thee:

[4] With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee

riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

[5] By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches,

and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

[6] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as

the heart of God;

[7] Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the

nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom,

and they shall defile thy brightness.

[8] They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of

them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

[9] Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt

be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

[10] Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of

strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

[11] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[12] Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto

him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and

perfect in beauty.

[13] Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy

covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the

jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the

workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day

that thou wast created.

[14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so:

thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in

the midst of the stones of fire.

[15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,

till iniquity was found in thee.

[16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee

with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane

out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub,

from the midst of the stones of fire.

[17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted

thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I

will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

[18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities,

by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from

the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon

the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

[19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee:

thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

[20] Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[21] Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,

[22] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon;

and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am

the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be

sanctified in her.

[23] For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and

the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on

every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

[24] And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel,

nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them;

and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

[25] Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel

from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in

them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I

have given to my servant Jacob.

[26] And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant

vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed

judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall

know that I am the LORD their God.



Ezekiel 29:1-16



A Prophecy Against Egypt



1 (Eze 26:1; 29:17) In the tenth year, in the tenth month,

on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 (Eze 6:2; Jer 44:30) Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt

and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

3 (Isa 27:1; Eze 32:2) Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord God:

I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,

the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers,

which has said, "My Nile is my own,

and I myself have made it."

4 (2Ki 19:28; Eze 38:4) But I will put hooks in your jaws,

and will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales,

and will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers,

and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.

5 (Jer 7:33; 8:2) I will abandon you to the wilderness,

you and all the fish of your rivers;

you shall fall upon the open field;

you shall not be brought together or gathered.

I have given you for food

to the beasts of the field and to the fowl of the heavens.

6 (2Ki 18:21; Isa 36:6) All the inhabitants of Egypt shall know

that I am the Lord, because they have been

a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

7 (Eze 17:15-17) When they took hold of you by your hand,

you broke and tore all their hands. And when they leaned upon you,

you broke and made all their legs shake.

8 (Eze 14:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God: I will bring a sword

upon you, and cut off man and beast out of you.

9 (Eze 29:3; Pr 16:18) The land of Egypt shall become a desolation

and waste. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

Because you said, "The Nile is mine, and I have made it,"

10 (Eze 30:12) therefore, I am against you and against your rivers,

and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation,

from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.

11 (Eze 32:13; Jer 43:11-12) No foot of man shall pass through it,

nor foot of beast pass through it, nor shall it be inhabited for forty years.

12 (Jer 46:19; Eze 30:7) Thus I will make the land of Egypt desolate

in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities

among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate for forty years.

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations

and will disperse them among the countries.

13 (Isa 19:22; Jer 46:26) For thus says the Lord God:

At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples

wherever they were scattered.

14 (Eze 30:14; Isa 11:11) And I will turn the fortunes of Egypt

and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros,

into the land of their origin, and there they shall be a debased kingdom.

15 (Eze 30:13; Zec 10:11) It shall be the basest of the kingdoms,

and it shall exalt itself no more above the nations. For I will diminish them

so that they shall rule over the nations no more.

16 (Hos 8:13; Isa 20:5) It shall be the confidence of the house of Israel

no more, bringing to mind the iniquity of their having turned to Egypt.

But they shall know that I am the Lord God.



[1] In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month,

the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy

against him, and against all Egypt:

[3] Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,

Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his

rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for

myself.

[4] But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy

rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst

of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

[5] And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish

of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be

brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of

the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

[6] And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because

they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

[7] When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all

their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all

their loins to be at a stand.

[8] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon

thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

[9] And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know

that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made

it.

[10] Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will

make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene

even unto the border of Ethiopia.

[11] No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass

through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

[12] And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the

countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid

waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among

the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

[13] Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather

the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:

[14] And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to

return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they

shall be there a base kingdom.

[15] It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself

any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no

more rule over the nations.

[16] And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which

bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but

they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.



Babylonia to Plunder Egypt



17 (Eze 29:1) In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month,

on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

18 (Jer 27:6; 25:9) Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon

caused his army to labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald,

and every shoulder was peeled. Yet he and his army had no wages from Tyre

for the labor that he had done against it.

19 (Jer 43:10-13; Eze 30:24-25) Therefore thus says the Lord God:

I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

And he shall carry off her wealth and take her spoil and take her prey.

And it shall be wages for his army.

20 (Isa 10:6-7; Jer 25:9) I have given him the land of Egypt

for his labor with which he labored against it, because they acted for Me,

says the Lord God.

21 (Ps 132:17; Eze 24:27) On that day I will cause the horn of the house

of Israel to spring forth, and I will open your mouth in their midst.

Then they shall know that I am the Lord.



[17] And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first

month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me,

saying,

[18] Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a

great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder

was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service

that he had served against it:

[19] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of

Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude,

and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his

army.

[20] I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served

against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

[21] In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth,

and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they

shall know that I am the LORD.



Ezekiel 30:1-19

1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying:

2 (Isa 13:6; 15:2) Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God:

Howl,

"Woe to the day!"

3 (Eze 7:7; 7:12) For the day is near,

even the day of the Lord is near,

a cloudy day,

it shall be the time of doom for the nations.

4 (Eze 29:19; 29:8) The sword shall come upon Egypt,

and great pain shall be in Ethiopia,

when the slain fall in Egypt,

they take away her wealth,

and her foundations are broken down.

5 (Jer 25:20; Eze 27:10) Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, all Arabia,

Kub, and the men of the land that is in league shall fall with them

by the sword.

6 (Eze 29:10; Isa 20:3-6) Thus says the Lord:

Indeed, those who uphold Egypt shall fall,

and the pride of her power shall come down.

From Migdol to Syene

they shall fall in her by the sword,

says the Lord God.

7 (Eze 29:12; Jer 25:18-26) They shall be desolate

in the midst of the countries that are desolate,

and her cities shall be

in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

8 (Eze 29:6; Ps 58:11) They shall know that I am the Lord

when I have set a fire in Egypt

and when all her helpers are destroyed.

9 (Isa 18:1-2; 23:5) In that day messengers shall go forth from Me

in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall

come upon them as in the day of Egypt. For it is coming!

10 (Eze 29:19) Thus says the Lord God:

I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease

by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

11 (Eze 28:7) He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations,

shall be brought to destroy the land;

and they shall draw their swords against Egypt,

and fill the land with the slain.

12 (Eze 29:3) I will make the rivers dry,

and sell the land into the hand of the wicked;

and I will make the land waste and all that is in it,

by the hand of strangers.

I, the Lord, have spoken.

13 (Zec 10:11; Jer 2:16) Thus says the Lord God:

I will also destroy the idols,

and I will cause their images to cease from Memphis;

and no more shall there be a prince of the land of Egypt.

And I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

14 (Jer 46:25; Eze 29:14) I will make Pathros desolate,

and will set fire in Zoan,

and will execute judgments in Thebes.

15 I will pour out My fury upon Pelusium,

the strength of Egypt;

and I will cut off the multitude of Thebes.

16 I will set fire in Egypt;

Pelusium shall have great pain,

and Thebes shall be rent asunder,

and Memphis shall have distresses daily.

17 (Ge 41:45) The young men of Heliopolis and of Bubastis

shall fall by the sword,

and the women shall go into captivity.

18 (Eze 30:3; Isa 10:27) In Tahpanhes also the day shall be darkened,

when I break there the yokes of Egypt.

And the pomp of her strength shall cease in her;

as for her, a cloud shall cover her,

and her daughters shall go into captivity.

19 (Eze 30:14; Ps 9:16) Thus I will execute judgments in Egypt,

and they shall know that I am the Lord.



[1] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe

worth the day

[3] For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it

shall be the time of the heathen.

[4] And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in

Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her

multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

[5] Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub,

and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

[6] Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the

pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall

in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

[7] And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are

desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are

wasted.

[8] And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt,

and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

[9] In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the

careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the

day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

[10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to

cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

[11] He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be

brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt,

and fill the land with the slain.

[12] And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the

wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand

of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.

[13] Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will

cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince

of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

[14] And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will

execute judgments in No.

[15] And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut

off the multitude of No.

[16] And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall

be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.

[17] The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and

these cities shall go into captivity.

[18] At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there

the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for

her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

[19] Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am

the LORD.



A Prophecy Against Pharaoh



20 (Eze 26:1; 29:17) In the eleventh year, in the first month,

on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

21 (Jer 30:13; 46:11) Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king

of Egypt. And it has not been bound up to be healed or wrapped with

a bandage to make it strong to hold the sword.

22 (2Ki 24:7; Ps 37:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God: I am against

Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong

and the broken. And I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 (Eze 30:17-18; 30:26) I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations

and disperse them among the countries.

24 (Eze 30:25; Zep 2:12) For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon

and put My sword in his hand. But I will break the arms of Pharaoh so that

he groans before him with the groanings of a wounded man.

25 So I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms

of Pharaoh shall fall down. Then they shall know that I am the Lord

when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon

and he stretches it out upon the land of Egypt.

26 (Eze 29:12) When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations

and disperse them among the countries, then they shall know

that I am the Lord.



[20] And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the

seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[21] Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it

shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it

strong to hold the sword.

[22] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of

Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I

will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

[23] And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse

them through the countries.

[24] And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword

in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him

with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

[25] But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of

Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I

shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall

stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

[26] And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them

among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.



Ezekiel 31



Pharaoh to Be Slain



1 (Eze 30:20; Jer 52:5-6) In the eleventh year, in the third month,

on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 (Eze 29:19; 30:10) Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt,

and to his multitude:

Whom are you like in your greatness?

3 (Isa 10:33-34; Da 4:10) Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,

with fair branches and shade for a forest,

and high stature;

and its top was among the clouds.

4 (Eze 17:5; 17:8) The waters made it great;

the deep set it up on high.

With its rivers it continually ran

all around its plants,

and sent out its little rivers

to all the trees of the field.

5 (Da 4:11; Eze 17:5) Therefore its height was exalted

above all the trees of the field,

and its boughs were multiplied,

and its branches became long

because of the abundance of water, as it spread them out.

6 (Eze 17:23; Da 4:12) All the fowl of heaven

made their nests in its boughs;

and under its branches

all the beasts of the field gave birth;

and under its shadow

all great nations lived.

7 Thus it was fair in its greatness,

in the length of its branches,

for its roots were

by many waters.

8 (Eze 28:13; Ge 13:10) The cedars in the garden of God

could not match it;

the fir trees

were not like its boughs,

and the chestnut trees

were not like its branches;

nor was any tree in the garden of God

like it in its beauty.

9 (Ge 13:10; Isa 51:3) I made it beautiful with an abundance of branches,

so that all the trees of Eden envied it,

that were in the garden of God.

10 (Eze 28:17; Da 5:20) Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because

it is lifted up in height and has shot up its top among the clouds,

and its heart is arrogant in its height,

11 (Dt 18:12; Eze 32:11-12) I therefore will deliver it into the hand

of the mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it.

I have driven it out for its wickedness.

12 (Eze 28:7; 35:8; 30:11) Aliens, the tyrants of the nations have

cut it off and left it. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys

its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken

by all the rivers of the land. And all the peoples of the earth

have gone down from its shadow and have left it.

13 (Eze 32:4; Isa 18:6) Upon its ruin all the fowl of the heavens

shall remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be

upon its fallen branches

14 (Ps 82:7; Eze 26:20) to the end that none of all the trees

by the waters exalt themselves for their height,

or shoot up their tops among the clouds, or their well-watered trees stand up

in their height. For they all have been delivered to death, to the nether

parts of the earth in the midst of the sons of men, with those who go down

to the pit.

15 Thus says the Lord God: On the day when it went down to Sheol

I caused mourning. I covered the deep over it and restrained its rivers,

and its many waters were stayed. And I caused Lebanon to mourn for it,

and all the trees of the field fainted for it.

16 (Isa 14:15; 14:8; Eze 26:15) I made the nations to shake at the sound

of its fall when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit.

And all the well-watered trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon,

were comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

17 (Ps 9:17; Eze 31:6) They also went down into Sheol with it to those

who were slain with the sword. And those who were its power lived

under its shadow in the midst of the nations.

18 (Eze 32:19; 32:21; 28:10) To whom are you thus like in glory

and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you shall be brought down

with the trees of Eden to the nether parts of the earth. You shall lie

in the midst of the uncircumcised with those who were slain by the sword.

This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.



[1] And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the

first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude;

Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

[3] Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and

with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature;

and his top was among the thick boughs.

[4] The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers

running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the

trees of the field.

[5] Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and

his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the

multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

[6] All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his

branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under

his shadow dwelt all great nations.

[7] Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for

his root was by great waters.

[8] The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were

not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor

any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

[9] I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the

trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

[10] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself

in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his

heart is lifted up in his height;

[11] I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the

heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his

wickedness.

[12] And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have

left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are

fallen,

and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people

of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

[13] Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the

beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:

[14] To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves

for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither

their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all

delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the

children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

[15] Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I

caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods

thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for

him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

[16] I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him

down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden,

the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in

the nether parts of the earth.

[17] They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the

sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst

of the heathen.

[18] To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of

Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether

parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with

them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,

saith the Lord GOD.

See What God Has Done by Kenneth Petersen



Acts 9:1-6, 8, 10-12, 15



The Conversion of Saul

Ac 22:6-16; 26:12-18

1 (Ac 8:3; Ps 27:12) Saul, still breathing out threats and murder

against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

2 (Ac 19:9; 19:23) and requested letters from him to the synagogues

of Damascus, so that if he found any there of the Way, either men or women,

he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 (1Co 15:8; Ac 22:6) As he went he drew near Damascus, and suddenly a light

from heaven shone around him.

4 (Isa 63:9; Zec 2:8) He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,

"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?"

5 He said, "Who are You, Lord?"

The Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you

to kick against the goads."

6 Trembling and astonished, he said, "Lord, what will You have me do?"

The Lord said to him, "Rise up and go into the city,

and you will be told what you must do."

8 (Ac 22:11; 9:18) Saul rose up from the ground.

And when his eyes were opened,

he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

10 (Ac 10:3; 22:12) A disciple named Ananias was in Damascus.

The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias."

He said, "Here I am, Lord."

11 (Ac 21:39; 22:3) The Lord said to him, "Rise and go to Straight Street,

and inquire at Judas' house for someone named Saul of Tarsus,

for he is praying,

12 (Mk 5:23) and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in

and putting his hand on him, so that he may see again."

15 (Ac 13:2; Eph 3:7-8) But the Lord said to him, "Go your way.

For this man is a chosen vessel of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles

and their kings, and before the sons of Israel.



[1] And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the

disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

[2] And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he

found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them

bound unto Jerusalem.

[3] And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined

round about him a light from heaven:

[4] And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,

why persecutest thou me?

[5] And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou

persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

[6] And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to

do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be

told thee what thou must do.

[8] And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no

man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

[10] And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him

said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

[11] And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is

called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of

Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

[12] And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting

his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

[15] But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto

me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of

Israel:



Morse was the son of a Protestant minister and a struggling painter

of landscapes. In the 1820s, he made a meager living as a limner - "an

itinerant painter" of colonial America. But his was a life God led in another

direction. Morse also had an interest in science. He learned about

electromagnets, conceiving an idea that would change the world. In 1832,

Samuel F. B. Morse conceived the idea of an electric telegraph

and later went on to make the first working telegraph.



Probably the most dramatic biblical account of "career change" was that

of Saul, who was "breathing out murderous threats" against believers

in Christ (Acts 9:1). Jesus appeared to him in a great light (v. 3)

saying that Saul was persecuting Him. Essentially, Saul was told

to stop because he was under new orders now (v. 6). Saul did a U-turn

in his life and assumed a new identity in Christ as the apostle

who would eventually spread the gospel wherever he went.



Sometimes what we think is our future really isn't. God leads us

in another direction. Perhaps He needs to call us out of our sin.

Or maybe it's a change of ministry or vocation. When God redirects our lives,

we do well to stop what we're doing and follow our new orders. And as our new

path opens before us, we might just echo the joy of the first dot-and-dash

message of Morse’s telegraph: "What hath God wrought!"



Reflect & Pray



How has God led your life in a different direction?

What word has He given you today to encourage others?



Dear God, please help me be open to Your

leading as You guide my path and career in this current season.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 3 - All I need



Phil 4:19



19 But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



19 But my God shall supply all your need according

to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



"But Mom, I really need these!" The strident voice of a teenage girl

rose above the hum of voices in the department store. The item in question

was a pair of $80 blue Jeans, faded, bleached, and torn in the right knee.

Style . Fashion. Self-Image. The girl may not have needed the jeans to

enhance her wardrobe, but she obviously felt she needed then to

enhance her acceptability among her peers.

Phillippains 4:19 promises that God "shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." But just what needs does this

promise cover? My need for a bigger house? A better job?

An $80 pair of Calvin Kleins?

Certainly God knows and cares about the physical, superficial need of our

lives, and he provides what we need to sustain life. But God's priority

goes much deeper than the kind of radial tires we buy or the brand name on

our back pockets. God is interested in eternal values, in spiritual needs, and

he knows what we need in our lives to draw us closer to him.

"Out of his glorious riches in Christ Jesus," God will enrich us spiritually.

The application of Phil 4:19 involves trusting God to know and care about our

real needs, the deep needs of our souls, and allowing him the freedom to

order our circumstances so that those needs are met. When we are bold

enough to pray, "Lord, do whatever is necessary to make me more like

Jesus Christ," our Father delights to answer that prayer and supply our needs.



Application



a) What is the difference between my "Needs" and my "wants"?



b) What spiritual needs can I identify in my life?



c) How can this verse help me keep my own priorities

in line with God's value system?

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,

who leads you in the way you should go.



15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him:

I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,and shew him my salvation.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Nova Scotia



Total population 942700

Muslim population (est.) 14629



With 6 of the Nova Scotia's 10 universities located in Halifax, there is

a high concentration of Muslin international students in the area,

a harvest field in itself.

Pray for Nova Scotia and her Muslim populations



- in and around Halifax and other cities



- on university campuses



- for new workers among Muslims



- for pastors and churches to be bold in vision, passion and outreach

to Muslims in their areas.



- for Muslims who are searching for a better way to find a Christian friend

to share Jesus with and disciple them



- for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their

new faith in Jesus with other Muslims



Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia

with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas

(prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques

in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truro.



Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of

newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration

has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic

is the second most spoken language in Halifax.



while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000

in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population

somewhere between 25000 to 30000.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)
