No 29

(Israel and the Church)

“And so all Israel shall be saved.” (Romans 11:26)

Moses sang at the Red Sea, it was his joy to know that all the children of Israel were safe. Not a drop of water fell from that wall until the last of God’s Israel had safely reached the other side of the sea. That done, immediately the sea went back into its proper place again, but not till then. Part of that song was, “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed.” (Exod 15:3) In the end times, when the elect “shall sing the song of Moses, the servant of God and of the Lamb” (Rev 15:3), it shall be the boast of Jesus, “Of all whom thou hast given me, I have lost none.” (John 18:9). In heaven, there shall be no vacant thrones.

For all the chosen race will meet around the throne, will thank Him for His grace, and make His glories known. As many as God has chosen, as many as Christ has redeemed, as many as the Spirit has called, as many as believe in Jesus, will safely cross the sea. We are not all safely landed yet because part of the host has crossed the flood and part is crossing now.

The forefront of the army has already reached the shore. We are marching through the depths and we are at this day following our Leader into the heart of the sea. Let us be of good cheer – the rear-guard shall soon be where the vanguard already is. The last of the chosen ones shall soon have crossed the sea and then shall be heard the song of triumph, when all are secure. Not one will be absent; not one of His chosen family will be cast away otherwise it would make an everlasting discord in the family of the redeemed and as Jesus said “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37).
