Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with forsaken by the Lord as we pick up in Leviticus chapter 26 verse 17 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck. All of these things took place until

finally as God said they were dispersed into all the nations of the world.

So that God literally fulfilled those things that he said he would do to them.

He did and their land lay desolate for centuries. The cities desolate for centuries. Now it is interesting to

go through the land of Israel also because you'll see interesting looking mountains, which aren't

really mountains or hills, which aren't really hills. And they are tells, and they are the ruins of the city and it's hundreds of

tells all over the land sometime when I take one of these seven years off,

I'd like to get a shovel and just go digging in some of those tells

because of all of the cities that have been just ruined and they're just lying there and they're covered now with dirt and and just totally desolate just like God said.

And then shall the land rest and enjoy God set.

And then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbath's, and it surely has done that.
