The land of Zabulon,
and the land of Nephthalim, by the way
of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Beyond Jordan is the promised land, the land of milk and honey which
God has ordained for His people. There lies the land of Zebulun: the habitation
of exaltation. Along the way lies the land of Naphtali: the wrestling. This
land of light affliction and temporal burdens leads to a much greater prize:
the yoke of heaven and the eternal weight of glory. In the meantime, we wrestle
with the spiritual principalities of the world, the flesh, and Satan to occupy
the land that the Lord has given us personally. As the Tribulation approaches
be diligent to see to the land He appointed you beyond Jordan, on this side of
the shadow of death, until such time as
the Sun of Righteousness arises the second time. As it is written,
Isaiah 9:1-2
Nevertheless the
dimness shall not be such as was
in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and
the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee
of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light
shined.
