Day 216..."And the genealogy goes on..."in that day"..."Invite"

The genealogy of I Chronicles continues in chapters seven and eight with Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Asher, and Saul. After laying out destructive images Isaiah looks to the future with hope when Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will be friends and blessed by the Lord..."In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.” The parable of the "Great Banquet" is a metaphor for the Kingdom of God...invite others...(if you are rejected) invite whoever will come...even in the unusual places! This is an excellent message for the Church. Invite everyone and especially those who are outsiders..."‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled."
