Psalm 2:2,5-6 “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed…Then He will speak to them in His wrath…”As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” It’s voting day in the US, and let me start by saying
Psalm 104:30, “When you send forth your Spirit [or “breath’], they are created…” John 19:30, “He bowed His head and handed over the spirit [or “breath”].” As you may know, the same word is used both for “Spirit” and “Breath” in Hebrew as well as in Greek.

Matthew 8:17, “…He took our illnesses and bore our diseases. On the cross, Jesus bears the fullness of sin and its effects in the place of any and all who will hope in Him. This means not only that He bears His people’s sin and the hell it is due, but also that He
Isaiah 10:5, 15, “Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury…As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood.” In context, these verses present the invading Assyrian army as a tool of judgment
John 1:14, “The Word became flesh” At the center of the Christian faith is the doctrine of the incarnation, which confesses that the Second Person of the Trinity has taken human nature to Himself, binding humanity to divinity “inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly and inseparably” in perfect union to the Person of God the Son. One
Isaiah 19:25, “Blessed be Egypt, my people, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel, my inheritance.” John 12:32, “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” The shed blood of the Incarnate God has and will swallow the warring bloodlines of this world into

1 Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all…” Racist dissonance turns to Ethnic harmony only under the ransoming blood of Christ.
Psalm 106:37-38, “They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, who they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.” Make no mistake, THIS is abortion. The child sacrifices offered up to the god
Isaiah 53:3, “[The One on the throne of the universe is] A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” Only the One who drowned in, swallowed up, and rose from the sea of human sorrow can help those drowning in it today… Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy.
Ephesians 2:16, “[the death of Jesus rendered the Law inoperative for those who trust in Him, that He] might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.” Jew and Gentile are reconciled to one another and to God in Christ…which means all the ethnicities represented under “Gentile”
Luke 7:48-50, “And he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, ‘Who is this, who even forgives sins?’ And he said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’” Because Mary’s Child was not aborted, there is lavish forgiveness for those whose
