Where

Mo. 11/10/14: Zephaniah 3:18b – 20                  Where will fame and praise be?
      “…Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you;
      I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out;
      I will appoint them for praise and fame
      In every land where they were put to shame.
      At that time I will bring you back, Even at the time I gather you;
      For I will give you fame and praise
      Among all the peoples of the earth,
      When I return your captives before your eyes,” Says the Lord.
Where will fame and praise be? In the land where they were shamed.
Tu. 11/11/14: Zechariah 1:3 – 5                  Where are the fathers and prophets?
Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord.
      “Your fathers, where are they?
      And the prophets, do they live forever?...”
Where are the fathers and prophets? The fathers and prophets are gone.
We. 11/12/14: Malachi 1:6                  Where is the Lord’s honor?
      “A son honors his father, And a servant his master.
      If then I am the Father, Where is My honor?
      And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence?
      Says the Lord of hosts
      To you priests who despise My name.
      Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’
Where is the Lord’s honor? The Lord’s people did not honor Him.
Th. 11/13/14: Malachi 2:17, 3:1 – 2                  Where is God?
      You have wearied the Lord with your words…“Where is the God of justice?”
      “Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me.
      And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple
      …Says the Lord of hosts.
      “But who can endure the day of His coming?...
Where is God? He is sending His messenger, His Son, Jesus Christ.
Fr. 11/14/14: Matthew 18:20                  Where is Jesus Christ?
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Where is Jesus Christ? In the midst of two or three gathered in His name.
