Prophecy of 70 years…

 Prophecy of 70 years…

As I walking this morning, I was listening to 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul was entreating the people about testing the prophecies…

I really  am in Jeremiah,  though, in my reading…he was talking about the 70 years of the Jews in Babylon… God’s promise of bringing the Israelites back to their homeland as he promised….

We get promises from all kinds of things, people…testing our faith…but the Promises of God are faithful, true, everlasting…we may not going into exile for 70 years…or sojourn in a foreign country, but where ever we are, He is with us …guiding, comforting, speaking truth….

Thank YOU…

 Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. 

I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. 

This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

“But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate forever. 

I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations.

 Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. 

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. 

May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

1Thess.5:20-24

 My comfort in my suffering is this:Your promise preserves my life. 

I have sought your face with all my heart;be gracious to me according to your promise. 

May your unfailing love be my comfort,according to your promise to your servant. 

Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;do not let my hopes be dashed. 

Your promises have been thoroughly tested,and your servant loves them. 

May my supplication come before you;deliver me according to your promise.

Ps.119.50,Ps.119.58,Ps.119.76,Ps.119.116,Ps.119.140,Ps.119.170

 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

Luke.1.45

 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

Rom.4.18-21

 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Gal.3.14

God of promises…
