Bible Note: Cf. the statement made about the men of Issachar, 1 Chronicles 12:32. They "had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." Those men of Issachar were united with men from the other tribes to help David attain the throne which God had determined to give him. The Pharisees and Sadducees of this text were united against David's greater Son, the King of kings. However, they could not keep Him from attaining His throne. In fact, God used their enmity to bring King Messiah to His eternal throne, by way of His redeeming cross and victorious resurrection. How foolish were those "two faced weathermen"! Do we have understanding of the times? Do we know what to do in this fair day of Gospel mercy, with the storm of God's wrath on the way? |
