Israel - The Vine Transplanted from Egypt.

 

 

Psalms 80 verses 8- 11 sings about Israel, as a Vine Transplanted from Egypt. The Lord of Israel brought them back to the promised land.

Psalms 80: 8-11

"You transplanted a vine from Egypt;

    you drove out the nations and planted it.

9 You cleared the ground for it,

    and it took root and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade,

    the mighty cedars with its branches.

11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,

    its shoots as far as the River."

PSALMS 80

1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,

    you who lead Joseph like a flock.

You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,

    shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.

Awaken your might;

    come and save us.

3 Restore us, O God;

    make your face shine on us,

    that we may be saved.

4 How long, Lord God Almighty,

    will your anger smolder

    against the prayers of your people?

5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;

    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.

6 You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors,

    and our enemies mock us.

7 Restore us, God Almighty;

    make your face shine on us,

    that we may be saved.

8 You transplanted a vine from Egypt;

    you drove out the nations and planted it.

9 You cleared the ground for it,

    and it took root and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade,

    the mighty cedars with its branches.

11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,

    its shoots as far as the River.

12 Why have you broken down its walls

    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?

13 Boars from the forest ravage it,

    and insects from the fields feed on it.

14 Return to us, God Almighty!

    Look down from heaven and see!

Watch over this vine,

15     the root your right hand has planted,

    the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.

16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;

    at your rebuke your people perish.

17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,

    the son of man you have raised up for yourself.

18 Then we will not turn away from you;

    revive us, and we will call on your name.

19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;

    make your face shine on us,

    that we may be saved.

The Reward of Faith and Prayer.

 

2 KINGS 20

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

Hezekiah was the only faithful king over a 100 - year  period of  Judah's history.(732-640 BC)

Because of Hezekiah 's faith and prayer,God healed him from his fatal disease.

He was also saved from the Assyrians.

If you are sincere in your fath  and prayers to the true God, you will also be blessed,you can solve your problems and the true God will lead you forever.

Amen.
