Commentary by Luis Iván Martínez Toledo:
"Omicron is not the first threat we have dealt with, as we all know, and won’t be the last. Pandemics, catastrophes and wars have always been with us; and as we draw closer to the end of time, calamities in nature, society, and the human heart will increase.
Since the fall, the earth has been physically and spiritually under the influence of sin. What is the difference between the past and the things about to come? If we look carefully at the prophecy, we realize that deceitfulness is the core of society's last condition. In the past people knew that evil is evil, but gradually they are becoming accustomed to it until it becomes not only acceptable, but normal.
It happens also in religion and faith. “Satan is devising many plans to occupy minds, and to divert attention from the truths essential to salvation.”
In times like this, where are our eyes fixed? On the signs of the times to see how things are becoming worse? On the acts of Satan’s minions?
Soon humanity will look at us to see if our lives are different because our eyes are fixed on truth and the world to come. But the test will not be just our outward ethical behavior, but rather on the place the Lord of the Bible has in our lives.
“God has many thousands who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” Are we among them?" Luis Iván Martínez Toledo

Monday: New and Renewed
Compare Hebrews 8:10-12 with Deuteronomy 6:4-6, Deuteronomy 30:11-14, and Jeremiah 31:31-34. What does this teach us about the nature of the new covenant?

The promise of a new covenant in Hebrews refers back to Jeremiah. According to Jeremiah, God’s promise of a new covenant was, in fact, a renewal of the covenant that He had first made with Israel through Moses (Jeremiah 31:31-34). It could be argued, then, that Jeremiah 31 was not strictly speaking of a “new” covenant but of a “renewal” of the original covenant with Israel. In fact, the Hebrew word for new, hadashah, can have both the sense of “renew” and “brand new.”
The issue with the old covenant was that the people broke it (Hebrews 8:8-9). The covenant was not faulty; the people were. If Israel had seen through the symbols to the coming Messiah and put their faith in Him, the covenant would not have been broken. Yet, to be fair, there were many believers throughout Israelite history in whom the purposes of the covenant were fulfilled and who had the law in their hearts (Psalm 37:31, Psalm 40:8, Psalm 119:11, Isaiah 51:7).
While the new covenant is a renewal of the old covenant, there is a sense in which it is, indeed, new. Jeremiah’s promise of a “new covenant” did not simply envision a renewal of the conditions that existed before the exile, which had been broken and renewed several times because the nation had lapsed several times into apostasy. And that’s because the people were simply unwilling to keep up their end of the covenant with God (Jeremiah 13:23).
Thus, God promised to do a “new thing” (Jeremiah 31:22). The covenant would not be like the covenant that God had made “with their fathers” (Jeremiah 31:32). Because of the unfaithfulness of the people, the promises that God made under the Mosaic covenant were never fulfilled. Now, in virtue of the guarantee given by the Son (Hebrews 7:22), God would fulfill the purposes of His covenant. God did not change His law or lower His standards; instead, He sent His Son as a guarantee of the covenant promises (Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 6:18-20). This is why this covenant does not have curses. It has only blessings because Jesus fulfilled it perfectly, becoming a curse for us (Galatians 3:13).
| Read 2 Timothy 2:13. What can we learn from God’s faithfulness to His people and to His plans as we consider our relationships with others and our plans? |
Amen!
