d Religion Elder I Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson ,||| The Mountain of God Lesson Scripture: Isaiah 25:6-10 By the end of this lesson, we will ?Understand the concept of the mountain in the mil lennial kingdom ?See the connections between the future mountain of God and our lives today ?Recognize the sovereignty of God in His provisions for us today Background: The time is 733 B.C. Isaiah is focused on how the Lord will deal with the faithful remnant of Israel. He mentions the hill Ophel used to refer to Mt. Zion also meaning the entire city of Jerusalem. The rem nant of the city of Jerusalem would find redemption in the prosperous future God will provide. The first five verses of chapter 25 begin to paint the picture of praise for God's favor to the remnant. Lesson: Isaiah has told us that Christ will rule from Mt. Zion/Jerusalem and will right all wrongs there first, though the entire world would be cleared of the wicked and the unrighteous. In verse 6 we are told of the feast and the lavishness of it. The feast is said to be fit for royalty indicating ... and because that is how Christ will treat the remnant. The veil here, or covering, is a reference for a death shroud and all it entails. Taking it a bit further, we may say the reality of death for all, but it (death) is removed and replaced with life eternal. There is also a reference by some to spiritual blindness or ignorance and the veil of mourning that accompanies suffering and death. (Union Gospel Press). These are the explicit out comes of sin (vs. 8), all of which will be wiped away. The latter part of verse 8 says that God will take away all dis approval of His people everywhere. God's people will be purified and His name exalted (UGP). Isaiah goes on to say in verse 9 that this is our.God and our Lord whom we have waited for, implying here that there is a trust in Him that allows us to wait patiently for His chosen time of return. Jesus himself told us that the hour or the day is known only to God (Mt, 24:36). Jesus also advises us to spend our waiting time on faithfulness, watchfulness, stewardship, expectancy, and preparedness. Then we most assuredly may "... be glad and rejoice in his salva tion (vs. 9). For in this mountain Isaiah says that Jerusalem will, in the millennial period, experience the continued and constant presence of the Lord bringing peace, blessings, protection, and care (Isa. 52:7-9; Zech. 2:10-12; 8:1-8). The mountain of the Lord will exhibit God's sovereignty a way it has never yet been seen on earth. (Robert E. Wenger, UGP). For Your Consideration: What will happen to death when God's kingdom is set up? Why does Isaiah speak so in depth of Christ's return when at the time He (Christ) had not even come the first time? Life's Application: When preparing/planning an event, we always choose a venue that will host or accom modate and we select a menu that people will talk about for weeks after. Isaiah has given us a "Save the Date" of sorts for an event planned to the nines and not to be rivaled. We have been given plenty of time to prepare for attendance and a guide book for being the perfect guest. The invitation is "vintage" now ... thousands of years old. Prepare now.

Photos by Timothy Ramsey Individuals from the community came to check out the clothing giveaway. Many said they needed clothes for church and their jobs (Right) Rhonda Johnson, director of the Children's Ministry and coordinator for the clothes giveaway/voter registration drive, shows off her voting T-shirt. Winston-Salem church uses clothes giveaway to register people to vote BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE Giving back to the community is a part of many church ministries around Winston-Salem. Goler Metropolitan used a clothing give away to get people in the door to achieve the church's ultimate goal of registering individuals to vote. According to church officials, Goler Metropolitan is an intergenera tional congregation embracing the importance and value of every indi vidual, and his or her age, gifts and talents. The idea for this event came about because of a church member who had a family member with an abundance of clothing that the family member wanted to give to the church to do something with. The church in turn decided to hold a clothing drive. During the church's' monthly "lunch and leam" meeting they discussed the importance of voter registration and decided to combine the two events.
