      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      Jan 1, 2021

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,

      DoctriVotional Series I, Volume IV - Natasha Gogue

      Introduction

      Doctrivotional is a collection of doctrine, on an commentary level, for application. This series of application is taken from the Word of God, considering 1) the meaning of the words; 2) the times when the Word was spoken for application; 3) the parallel of the times from then to now; 4) for the application of the Word now.

      God's Word is a Living Word. It is as applicable today as when it was written, as it was before it was written, when God's Spirit bore witness of the Word to be made canon. The Christian life depends on doctrine and experience of doctrine. Doctrivotional gives you the doctrine, and the ways of application, for the experience of doctrine. This series is dedicated to knowing the Word for the purpose to experience the Word, through proper application. It is where doctrine meets devotional—where the Word meets individuals fully devoted to living God's Word, living by the Living Word.

      The series coincides with a chronological Bible-in-a-year program (included). The chronological plan is based upon historical research of when the events in the Bible took place, upon popular belief. This plan was chosen for the understanding of application of God's Word as it was given, and the mirroring of how it can be applied for the reader today.

      This volume will finish Judges, go through all of Ruth, I Samuel, partial II Samuel, partial I Chronicles, and integrate an applicable commentary of selected Psalms.

      The Book of JUDGES

      Judges covers a period between the Canaan conquest, after the death of Joshua, to the monarchy. It is by judges that God led Israel to be delivered from their oppressors, in which, they were being oppressed in their moments of apostasy. God's judges served to deliver repentant Israel from these oppressors, and keep repentant Israel judged in the ways of the LORD. Thirteen judges cover this period, eleven of which are recorded in this book. The book does much to show us that without these judges, Israel is quick to be apostate. It should show us no different with our own selves. Without our Head Jesus Christ, we would be quick to be apostate. Jesus Christ is the Judge.

      God is just. It is a perfection, and therefore as it is His, it demands justice. This will surely come to pass in judgment. To avoid the judgment of God, one must first have His justness met with justice. Meaning, one must have the justification of Christ. To avoid the judgment of God, one must have the justice of God. Meaning, the Just and the Justifier are the same. To avoid the judgment of God, one must have the Word of God judge Him. Meaning, the Word needs to govern us (Christ as the Word-made-flesh and the Canonical Scriptures we know as the Word of God).

      The devotional theme is centered around the Divine attribute of Justness, that you may appreciate the Justifier. We will focus on God being Just, and the glorification of Christ in Justification; and that without the sure Justification of Christ, God, as Just in His judgment, is sure.

      Chronological Bible-in-a-year Reading:

      Judges 10-12

      Application Reading:

      Judges 11:23-27:

      So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it? Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out before us, them will we possess. And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, while Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? Why therefore did ye not recover them within that time? Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

      The king of Ammon is warring against Israel with the claim of land taken. He wants the land restored peaceably (Judges 11:13). The king and Jephthah (representing Israel) have a couple discourses that end in this application passage. Within the discourse, Jephthah had tried to reasonably speak with the king on behalf of the just righteousness of Israel to have the land. First of all, the land wasn't Ammon's to begin with, as Jephthah gives an account of the true inhabitants of the land when they possessed it. Second, Ammon is claiming land (that wasn't even theirs) well after it had been possessed. If it truly was their land, and they held a genuine interest in it due to this, would not less than three hundred years lapsed before this claim and war? Thirdly, he asks the king of Ammon to consider the rulers whose land Israel did possess. Are they disputing Israel? Nay, but (and fourthly) the LORD was righteous in giving His people back the land they were promised, which was their habitation before the Egyptian dwelling from the days of Joseph. Israel had operated to possess the land, from start (Abraham's possession and Joshua's conquest) to finish solely by the direction and the word of the LORD: So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess, (Judges 11:24). Even in Moses and Joshua's conquest, they only operated by the word of the LORD; therefore, the word of the LORD judge between Israel and Ammon. Jephthah could not reason with this man, and says, The LORD the Judge be judge this day...

      This reading should encourage us in discourses with the world. We should attempt to speak with the unconverted and the professing [but not converted-life] Christian, before their warring (being at enmity with God) results in God's judgment. Let us mirror that the land wasn't Ammon's to begin with: their bodies were not theirs in the beginning (creation), and they go around serving and worshipping it as if it were a god. Thus, their sin doth so easily beset them because of this self-god mentality. Let us mirror that if there were truly in a genuine interest of Ammon to have the land, three hundred years wouldn't have lapsed before the claim and war: If you truly have a genuine interest to possess the things of the Lord, should you have waited to the end of your life, or the judgment of seat of Christ to claim thus? Let us mirror God taking back what was His [for Israel's possession] with God rightfully taking back this life (that is to say, in full service to Him in a converted life) that was supposed to be created for His glory anyway, and purchased by His own Holy blood, so as to live and operate by the Word of the Lord—which, continuing to mirror, is what Israel did as well. They only operated by the word of the Lord in their conquests, therefore it was right and just because it was by the Word of the Right and Just LORD. So then we can say, the Word of the LORD judge between Israel and Ammon.

      We speak to the world by the Word of the Lord, and its truths. Therefore, it is not us judging them, but He judging them (by His Word). The Word of the Lord, the two-edged sword that it is, dividing asunder, dividing asunder so much that it will judge, does rightfully judge between the world and the true saints. Unfortunately, just as the king of Ammon wasn't a man to be reasoned with, so are some in this world. Therefore, by His Word we (that is to say, He, since it is His Word that gives us the judgment of them) have judged them, to divide asunder the Body and the world [and even the false apostles], saying, The LORD the Judge be judge this day... It is not our righteousness, but His as it is His Word, and thus given to us as a means to judge, that truly it is He who judges.

      Chronological Bible-in-a-year Reading:

      Judges 13-15

      Application Reading:

      Judges 13:21-22:

      But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

      Throughout the Old Testament, we see several occasions where God appears to His people by an angel of the LORD. This particular case, as well as a others in the Old Testament, hold strong evidence that these appearances are by the Lord Jesus Christ, pre-incarnate. In Moses' case of the burning bush, Moses affirms the angel of the LORD is God Himself (Exodus 3).

      Yet, we know that no man can see God and live (Exodus 33:20). He is, as Manoah's wife describes (in just the presence of the angel of the LORD), very terrible. This is not to say God haunts us, but nothing like the presence of complete perfection, His majesty and power, awe-striking glory and perfection, will make you realize just how corrupt your nature really is. In this, God is very terrible to the creature, because the perfection and glory of God must be separated from sin, lest sin is consumed by His mere presence and surely consume the creature whose condition is sin. Your condition is a sinner, and should
