Another Chance for a Blessing

[tyndale1946]

Lord With Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Lord with glowing heart I’d praise Thee,
For the bliss Thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows:
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.

Praise, my soul, the God that sought me,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found me lost, and kindly brought me
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him Who saw my guilt-born fear,
And the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

Praise my Savior God that drew me
To that cross, new life to give,
Held a blood sealed pardon to me,
Bade me look to Him and live.
Praise the grace whose threats alarmed me,
Roused me from my fatal ease;
Praise the grace whose promise warmed me,
Praise the grace that whispered peace.

Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express.
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless:
Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.

From the title of OP,
< Another Chance for a Blessing >

I expected you would deal with the second chance for the Blessings.

The second chance for the Blessings comes from the second chance for the Sacrifice as we have to be cleansed from the sins by the sacrifice.

So, one good example is here

Numbers 9:

5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

6 And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

7 And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the Lord in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Lord.

11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

So, there was the second chance for the Blessings resulting from the Second Passover, the Second Sacrifice, bringing forth the Forgiveness of the sins and the Blessings.

There was the second circumcision after crossing the River Jordan ( Joshua 5:2)

I think the Second Chance for the Grace, Blessings coming from the Second Sacrifice, Second Passover, the Second Forgiveness was well known to the Jews, and to Apostle Paul. Therefore Paul wrote the followings:

2 Cor 1
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

This Second Benefit is translated from Deuteran Karin, which means the Second Grace.

The fundamental and ultimate source of the second blessing is in the Blood of Lord Jesus Christ and His Redemption of our sins by His Own Blood.
Lord Jesus Christ is the fundamental source of all the Blessings.

Thanks to Lord Jesus Christ

Hello Eliyahu,

Sorry to disappoint you but

this and the previous thread are about the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 12

where God says,

And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall
all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:2-3

I would like, again, to extend the opportunity for forum member to
bless Abraham and the nations that sprang from his loins, but one in particular.

If we believed the promise of God through faith
we are His children and can call Abraham our father.

What shall we say the that Abraham our father...
... Abraham believed God
and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Romans 4:1a, 4:3b

The one nation in particular is Israel, the nation, and for us more important, believing Israel.

The one that we have been grafted into:

And if some of the branches
be broken off,
and thou,
being a wild olive tree,
were grafted in among them,
and with them partakest
of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
boast not against the branches.
Romans 11:17-18a

The two, believing Israel and believing Gentiles are one:

And as many as walk according to this rule,
peace be on them,
and mercy,
and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:16

So I am going after this blessing from God:
Praise to God for Abraham, Israel, Jews, and believers from all nations.

If you would like to discuss second blessings from God, please start a thread.

If you would like to discuss second blessings from God, please start a thread.

I agree with you on these verses like Gen 12:1-3 and Rom 11:17-18 and I do believe that Rom 11:31 demands us the gentile believers to be sympathetic with the Jews.
I know much of the history of the Jewish Pogroms and Holocausts, like the one in Nante, France, Moldova, Ukraine, Kaybar Saudi Arabia etc.
The gentiles need the great repentance for the Jews.
As for the title of this OP, I meant the title itself indicated the Second Blessing or another chance for the blessings like the Second Passover.
I have mentioned what I could say already here and don't feel the need for another thread.

Thanks

Thank you for your response Eliyahu.

People have different ideas on what "The Second Blessing" means.

[SGO]

Concerning David

Of this man's seed
hath God
according to his promise*
raised unto Israel
a Saviour,
Jesus:
Acts 13:23

*His promise:

And there shall come forth
a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isaiah 11:1

The Lord has sworn in truth unto David;
he will not turn from it;
of the fruit of thy body
will I set upon thy throne.
Psalm 132:11

And he shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people
from their sins.
Matthew 1:21

 

[SGO]

*After this I will return,
and will build again the tabernacle of David,
which is fallen down;
and I will build again the ruins thereof,
and I will set it up:
That the residue of men
might seek after the Lord,
and all the Gentiles,
upon whom my name is called,
saith the Lord,
who doeth all these things.
Known unto God
are all his works
from the beginning of the world.
Acts 15:16-18

*In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen,
and close up the breaches thereof;
and I will raise up his ruins,
and I will build it as in the days of old.
Amos 9:11

Praise God that His rebuilt tabernacle is made of Jews and Gentiles.

 

[SGO]

Testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:21

Praise God for the gospel in one verse for everyone.

 

[SGO]

And some believed the things that were spoken,
and some believed not.
Be it known therefore unto you,
that the salvation of God
is sent unto the Gentiles,
and that they will hear it.
Acts 28:24,28

Praise to God He has given opportunities to hear His words to Jews and Gentiles.

 

[SGO]

... not knowing that the goodness of God
leadeth thee to repentance?
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:4b, :11

Praise to God who leads Jew and Gentile to repent.

 

[SGO]

And he received the sign of circumcision,
a seal of the righteousness of the faith
which he had yet being uncircumcised:
that he might be the father of all them that believe.
though they be not circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
Romans 4:11

Praise to God that Abraham is the father of all that believe, Jew or Gentile.

 

[SGO]

So then it is not of him that willeth,
nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:16

Thank God He has mercy.

 

[SGO]

For if the casting away of them
be the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be,
but life from the dead?
Romans 11:15

Praise to God the whole world can be reconciled through Jesus Christ.

 

[SGO]

Isaiah 53 in Hebrew with English subtitles.

Praise God who loves the Jews.

 

[SGO]

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
for the truth of God,
to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
And that the Gentiles
might glorify God for his mercy;
as it is written,
For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles,
and sing unto thy name.
And again he saith,
Rejoice, ye Gentiles,
with his people.
And again, Esaias saith,
There shall be a root of Jesse,
and he that shall rise to reign
over the Gentiles;
in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Romans 15:8-12

Praise all people, Jews and Gentiles, to our Jewish Savior, the One we can trust.

 

[SGO]

Now to him
that is of power to establish you
according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,

according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began,

But now is made manifest,
and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations
for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:25-26


What is the mystery that had been kept a secret?


Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men,
as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be

fellowheirs, and of the same body,

and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians 3:5-6

Praise to God believing Jews and Gentiles are heirs together in the same body.

 

[SGO]

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived:
neither fornicators,
nor idolators,
nor adulterers,
nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves,
nor covetous,
nor drunkards,
nor revilers,
nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you:
but ye are washed,
but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Praise God that Jesus said, "I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance."
Luke 5:32

 

[SGO]

(concerning Israel and concerning Judah)

But they shall serve the Lord their God,
and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.
Jeremiah 30:9

Praise God united Israel will serve their Messiah.

 

[SGO]

I would like to repeat this portion of post #77:


What is the mystery that had been kept a secret?


Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men,
as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be

fellowheirs, and of the same body,

and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians 3:5-6


Why repeat?

Because it clearly proves that the "Church" is NOT a separate body from Old Testament believing Israel or any Jewish believer in promise of God.

We are grafted together in His Body.

And if some of the branches be broken off,
and thou,
being a wild olive tree,
wert grafted in among them and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:17

Praise God for Christ, the Savior of the world.
