God Attribute, 234

 

~ Unchanging ~

 

The fact that God is always the same, never changing, is known as the doctrine of God’s immutability.

 

Scripture ~ I am the Lord, I change not. (Malachi 3:6).

 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17)

 

From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God. (Psalm 90:2).

 

You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. (Psalm 102:12).

 

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. ²⁶ They will perish, but You will endure; yes, they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed.²⁷ But You are the same, and Your years will have no end. (Psalm 102:25-27)

 

Application ~ Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

 

Quote ~ “We ought therefore, to seek stability nowhere else but in God.”—John Calvin

Ten, 44

 

~ Ten Kings, 2 ~

 

Introduction ~ This series is about portions of Scripture which specifically mention ten (10) items. (I am aware that there are those in my readership who are into Biblical numerology.) All Scripture is from the New American Standard (Updated) unless otherwise specified (emphasis added). The Scripture below is one of many passages which specifically mention ten of something.

 

Scripture ~ “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour” (Revelation 17:12).                         

 

Numerology ~ Scripture numerologists often refer to the number ten as referring to as fullness or completeness. Following is one explanation:

 

“In connection with five, and as very near akin to it in meaning, we may take ten.  It is but five times two, as I have already said.  The ten fingers and toes are plainly so, and they give us respectively man’s capacity for action and competence for an upright walk.  But the measure of capacity is that of responsibility, and the measure of responsibility is that of judgment or of reward.  Thus ten plagues fell upon Egypt.

 

“The Ten Commandments are on the two tables of testimony, the measure, on the divine side, of man’s responsibility.

 

“In the kingdom of the ten tribes …

 

“The ten toes of the image in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision enable the feet to stand firm – are what answer to the ten horns upon the fourth beast in that of the prophet – again the measure of power.

 

“In the ten virgins of the parable, responsibility is enforced; and here they are five wise, five foolish.  The testimony here is that of the bridegroom’s return.

 

“Finally, in the tithe demanded by God in Israel, we have the whole (of whatever it might be) looked at as composed of ten parts, the measure of responsibility, of which God takes one in token of His sovereignty.” –F.W. Grant
