Theme of the Month: The Secrets of God’s choice
Wed, 21 September

“And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house!” (2 Chrons. 7:2 )

The first necessity is to be God’s chosen vessel and to come into the hand of the Lord. This demands a willingness on our part. After this step it will be made clear how the Lord will bring us into the other two experiences, which lead the one into the other.

Now we come to the second part: ‘that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation.’ In verses 1 to 50 Stephen narrated the whole history of the nation of Israel to show God’s purpose in choosing that nation. We can divide the story into seven types. The first three are represented by Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. From these we pass to Egypt, the wilderness, Canaan, and the divine temple built by King Solomon, Stephen began his account with Abraham and ended with Solomon. He could go no further, for his accusers were very angry with him, but he had said all that was necessary. Stephen had revealed the secret that God had been preparing His nation that they might receive from Him a great heavenly joy. ( 2 Chron 7:1-3). That was the happiest day for them as God’s people, the zenith of the whole history of the nation. When the work of the temple had been completed according to the heavenly plan given by God, the fire came down and consumed the sacrifice, and then God’s glory filled the whole temple. All the children of Israel bowed themselves with their faces to the ground, and worshipped and praised the Lord. They were filled with heavenly joy, for they had never seen such a thing before
