DCLM Daily Manna 9 February 2022 OUTLINE
Mountains are an eloquent and monumental testimonies of the sublimity of God’s creative power. The world is dotted with many significant mountains, some of which have scriptural and prophetic roles. Mountains have also been used figuratively to signify some sacred realities.
When, in today’s text, we read about “the mountain of the Lord’s house” being “established in the top of the mountains,” it is quite symbolic. It points to the institution of Christ’s Church into which people from all nations would flock. Isaiah stated that the mountain of the Lord’s house would be firmly established above every power. Truly, Christianity, with the preaching of the gospel, has positively impacted the world as nothing else has. It has brought sons and daughters unto God from all nations and withstood numerous crushing oppositions.
The prophecy also alludes to the deplorable case of the Jewish church that had given itself to the wickedness of superstition, idolatry and covetousness. Their rejection of Christ, the Messiah, capped it all. The Lord, however, still has a plan for their restoration (Zechariah 12:10).
As predicted, people from all nations are still flowing unto the mountain of the Lord’s house whose door is Jesus Christ. If you have not repented and placed your faith in Him, you have a chance to do so now. This offer may elude you if you delay any longer. If you are already saved, it is incumbent on you to join the evangelism train. You are to use every means at your disposal to tell others about Christ.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Preach Jesus so that the world can flock to Him.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
