Today, David Jeremiah concluded the 6 days of teaching on the "70 weeks" of chapter 9 of Daniel, a subseries of the larger Daniel book study which consists of 62 or so programs presenting 31 messages.
What's interesting about today's program is that he outlines why the carrying away to Babylon occurred, how the Jews learned from it upon their return to the Promised Land (they never again worshipped false idols), and how the Jews remain His Chosen People which will be manifested in its full glory in Christ's Millennial reign.

Thursday and Friday will feature Easter shows as might be expected with a return to the Daniel study on Monday.
Speaking of Holy week shows, James Macdonald of
Walk in the Word
has had several good ones this week. On Tuesday's show, we discover, after reading Luke 23, v26
As they led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the
country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.
who this "Simon" is.
Well, who is this apparently unwitting carrier of the cross? Well, let's add, says MacDonald, some additional info from Mark 15, v.21:
A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing
by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
For most of us, this doesn't seem to add a lot -- or does it?
Well, turn to Romans 16, v.13, where Paul writes:
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
----------
So, suggests MacDonald, perhaps Simon embraced the Lord at the Cross, thanks to this chance meeting
and this lead to blessings down the road received by Paul. Nothing in the Bible gets mentioned by mistake; and everything is there for a reason; we just don't always understand or recognize it..
Returning to Luke 23:28 and following, we are given Jesus' last message to the crowds in 77 English words prophesizing the destruction of the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.d.
Today's show is another thought provoker in getting us to think as to how we might have reacted if we had been part of the scene on that fateful Crucifixion Day.

"Turning Point" with David Jeremiah Archives have Returned
Good News. The "Turning Point" archives are back. Find them here
Turning Point (Dr. David Jeremiah) - Broadcast Archives
That's the same place as before. For some reason, they were down for several days. Now, they are back, up and running, and updated.
And speaking of "Turning Point," Friday, April 3, and today's Monday, April 6, shows make for interesting listening. Dr Jeremiah explains Daniel's 70-week prophecy and how 69 of those 70 weeks have been completed. He includes a somewhat calculation complex explanation as to the date accuracy of the whole thing.
Related to today's program, in this morning's devotional email, Jeremiah explains the test prophets faced.
"Many people claim to speak for God today without applying the definitive test given
in Scripture concerning prophecy: accuracy. "When a prophet speaks in the name of
the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the
Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid
of him" (Deuteronomy 18:22).
That was the test God gave Moses for those who would presume to speak in God's name.
What they said must come to pass. That was the same test God applied to Himself when
He spoke through His chosen prophets. For instance, when Zechariah spoke for the
Lord, saying that Israel's king would one day appear riding on "a colt, the foal
of a donkey" (9:9), that is precisely what happened: Jesus rode into
Jerusalem."

"God's Friday, The Day God Died for our Salvation"
"God's Friday, The First Good Friday" is a constant phrase in this Sunday's "Lutheran Hour" sermon preached by Ken Klaus.
Go to
Lutheran Hour Ministries - The Lutheran Hour
and look for links to read the sermon transcript, here it on line as well as to subscribe to the weekly podcast or have sermon texts emailed to you weekly.
As every Christian school child knows "Christ paid for my sins by dying on the Cross on Good Friday." Four of the statements in the Apostles' Creed refer to the events surrounding the Crucifixion.
I have been seeking something that might tie all this together, particularly to direct the new Christian to, insofar as what does being saved all mean and how was this achieved.
Thanks to Ray Pritchard and
Keep Believing.com
ministries and his weekly podcast, we have Salvation boiled down to 27 and a half minutes of succcinct information much like the mantra "give us 20 minutes and we'll give you the world" slogans offered by all news radio stations such as WBBM Chicago, WINS New York or KNX Los Angeles.
The sermon,
The Day God Died,
uses Hebrews 9 and 10 as its primary scriptural focus rather than one of the 4 gospels.
For those preferring to read the text, it can be found here
The Day God Died Crucified, Died
It is one of those documents that would make for a great inclusion in church new believer packets.

Psalm 59 and 1 Samuel 19
One of the advantages of reading the Bible via an approach such as the one used in
Bruce’s Chronological Bible Project
is that you quickly see how things fit together.
Today, for example, the readings are 1 Samuel 18 and 19 plus Psalm 59.
The Psalm actually is inserted into the reading plan after verse 18 of 1 Sam 19.
Why, you ask?
Well, the intricacies of the situation facing David are complex as outlined in this commentary selection
1 Samuel 19 - David Flees from Saul?
He understands that they are after him, not due to anything that he has done, but rather out of Saul's jealousy. He is confident in God's ability to protect and defend him from harm and deal with his adversaries
He expresses his reliance on God in this matter..

In these Trying Times, God Remains in Charge -- a Message from James MacDonald and "Walk in the Word"
`We are now in the midst of the last of 6 messages comprising the "Always True" series on "Walk In the Word" with James MacDonald. This particular message is especially pertinent in these trying times of financial stress, unemployment, , and all the uncertainties that seem to plague the United States and much of the rest of the world.
, Our trust, of course, should be first and foremost in God not our IRA, job, or politicians. We tend to forget this when things go well; perhaps that's why God hits us on the head, so to speak, to remind us that he, and not us, are ultimately in charge.
For some reassurrance that ultimately God will take care of us (if we let him), give a listen to these 3 shows running through tomorrow.

Turning Point Broadcast Archives Apparently No Longer Available
Just checked; and to my frustration, the Turning Point broadcast archives appear to be missing as of this morning. Yesterday, I noticed that the show archives did not include the April 1 broadcast so perhaps the David Jeremiah organization has ended its affiliation with OnePlace.com. Hopefully, they will reappear somewhere soon and that podcasts will be included. "Turning Point" is one of the best ministry broadcasts out there; sadly, they are among the hardest to find in an ondemand form on the web.
