“Therefore my people go into exile…” Isaiah 5:13 ESV    Picking up where we left off in the last article, we observed the Davidic Covenant, in which, God promises to have a King that will come from the lineage of King David that will rule forever. Most would have thought that Solomon …

 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, …

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight… Then Moses …
