    THE LAST DAYS AND THE RESTORATION. Micah 4:1-4, Micah 4:6-7. I). “In the Last Days” (Micah 4:1-5).

    Redemption for the Israel of God.

    A STANDARD RAISED. Isaiah 62:10-12. This prophecy is fulfilled at more than one level. There is a level of fulfilment for those Jews who lived in the days of Cyrus king of Persia (Ezra 1:1-4).

    Abiding in the Presence of God.

    OUR REFUGE IS THE LORD. Psalm 91:1-12. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (PSALM 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those who are deemed ‘the people of ...read more

    AN APPEAL FOR MERCY. Psalm 79:8-10. God’s people can sometimes see their afflictions as the outworking of their own rebellion against Him.

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE.
