Two Parts

Part One

Justice and Righteousness made bitter, cast down
Mishpat and Tsadek
Judgement/Justice
Righteousness - aligned with God in all aspects

Charges brought
Change is coming
Invitation given

Charges brought

Haters of justice at the

Detest truth tellers

Trample on poor
Tax them
Afflict the righteous
Take a bribe
Turn aside the needy at the gate

False worship rejected

Change is coming

They will not get to enjoy their corrupt labor fully
No houses, no wine

Not without invitation
Come to the LORD
God’s heart is

Come home, return, reject that which tears down

Part Two

Woe
False worship rejected

What is being cast down
God wants to freely flow

We need to continue to hear this

1). Do we look at the

this way?
Honesty and Prayer
Where do we rub the sharp edges?
Where do we try to make this more comfortable?

2). Do we understand that our

worship is rejected when our lives are not aligned?
Ancient Christians
During your year of training before baptism, they would ask about your job.
Did it align with the kingdom?
Wrestled with things….could you be a Roman soldier?

3) We need the table
At the cross, Roman soldier used his spear
Blood and water
Source of justice and righteous in the new kingdom
Ultimate allegiance lies

King of all kings

tribe, every nation, every tongue
