Devotion 1 of 2: Hos 12
V.9-10 say, “But I am the Lord your God, ever since the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast. I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets.”
God said Israel would dwell in tents again during the feast. This refers to the Feast of Tabernacles, which will be spiritually fulfilled in the LDR. Israel lived in tents while journeying through the wilderness. The LDC will be forced to live in temporary places because we won’t be able to buy or sell and will not be able to pay rent, too.
God also gave symbols through the prophets. God speaks often through symbols, or parables. Acts 3:19-21 says God spoke through the prophets many times about His plan of restoration, of Israel and the church! Let’s study those symbols of restoration!
デボーション1/2：ホセア12章
9-10節にはこうあります。「しかし、わたしは、エジプトの国にいたときから、あなたの神、主である。わたしは例祭の日のように、再びあなたを天幕に住ませよう。わたしは預言者たちに語り、多くの幻を示し、預言者たちによってたとえを示そう。」
神は、イスラエルが祭の期間、再び天幕に住むと言われました。これは仮庵の祭りを指しており、これは終末教会において霊的に成就します。イスラエルは荒野を旅する間、天幕に住んでいました。終末教会は、物を買うことも売ることも、家賃を払うこともできないため、仮住まいを強いられる時に実現するでしょう。
神は預言者を通して幻とたとえも与えられました。使徒3:20-21には、神が預言者を通して、イスラエルと教会の回復の計画について何度も語られたと記されていますが、しばしばそれはたとえを通してでした。これらの回復のたとえについてぜひ学びたいです。

Devotion 2 of 2: John 12
According to v.9-11, many Jews believed in Jesus because He had raised Lazarus from the dead! Jesus promised we would His works and even greater works if we believed. This promise will be fulfilled in the LDC. When we raise people from the dead, many of their family and friends and others will believe and get saved!
Jesus said in v.24 that if a grain of wheat dies, it will produce much fruit. Through His death, Jesus has saved and is saving billions of people! The LDC will also die by AC’s persecution. But through their death, then later resurrection and rapture, I believe many millions of people will be saved!
This will happen when AC kills the 2 witnesses, who are the LDC (Rev 11:7). But they will rise up and be raptured before the eyes of the world (Rev 11:11-13). Many will see this, believe and give glory to God! PTL!
