Matthew Henry on Judges 9: “The apostasy of Israel after the death of Gideon is punished, not as the former apostasies by a foreign invasion or the oppressions of any neighbouring power, but by intestine broils among themselves … It is an account of the usurpation and tyranny of Abimelech, who was [a] base son to Gideon … We are here told, 1) How he thrust himself into the government at Shechem, his own city, by subtlety and cruelty, particularly by the murder of all his brethren (vv. 1-6). 2) How his doom was read in a parable by Jotham, Gideon’s youngest son (vv. 7-21). 3) What strifes there were between Abimelech and his friends, the Shechemites (vv. 22-41). 4) How this ended in the ruin of the Shechemites (Judges 9:42-49) and of Abimelech himself (vv. 50-57) … he came in like a fox, ruled like a lion and died like a dog.”

5 sermons on Ezekiel 37-39 on CD or DVD plus a bonus disk: “What About Israel?”

David J. Engelsma: “The New Testament instructs us to interpret Old Testament prophecy spiritually. In the earthly figures familiar to the prophets and their hearers, the Holy Spirit of Christ foretold the spiritual glories of Jesus Christ, His church and His new creation. Those earthly features of prophecy … are not the reality of the prophecy. They never were the reality of the prophecy. They were not the reality of the prophecy for the spiritual Israelite at that time. He or she saw through them and beyond them to better and higher prospects …” (Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom, pp. 105-106).

Bonus Lecture on CD: “What About Israel?”

“We praise God for your sermons on Ezekiel 37-39. It is a joy to hear someone discoursing intelligently and with good sense and sound biblical understanding on the theme of the millennium and the spiritual kingdom of God in Christ and exposing the errors of all carnal worldly might and power kingdoms, be they pre-mil, post-mil, dispensationalist or Jewish. You do not know how much we thank God for encouraging us through your sermons … May the Lord continue to establish you in His grace and truth. We pray that you will continue to love the truth and to speak the truth in love.” – Australia

We are enjoying the series in Ezekiel 37-39. We are glad you are giving the lie to premillennial teachings by preaching the truth. Most churches today are Arminian, dispensational and premillennial. The new Christian becomes steeped in these doctrines and then finds it difficult to get his mind washed from them. Its even more difficult if you throw in Pentecostalism as well. You have to continually listen and hearken to the truth to straighten the mind out. Of course, one has to want the truth in the first place!” – South Wales
