After getting in to see artifacts that were buried beneath the traditional site of the tomb of Jonah, I heard there was another gate that ISIS blew-up that might give me access inside the walls of ancient Nineveh...you know, the place Jonah tried to run from and was swallowed by a really big fish. I would need a really BIG favor from a new friend and a key to unlock the gate in order to get in. When ISIS blew up the Mashgi Gate in modern Mosul, they actually triggered the resurrection of ancient Nineveh!

This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is 2 Samuel 22:1–51. It accompanies the Torah portion Ha’azinu (Deuteronomy 32:1–52).

This passage is King David’s lengthy song or psalm of praise to God for saving him from all his enemies. Among the many expressions of praise and thanks for His protection and providence is the rhetorical question: “For who is God besides the LORD? And who is a rock, besides our God?” Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

This week’s passage begins with a remarkable affirmation of God’s readiness to forgive repentant sinners—personally, directly, and completely. He goes on to speak of His coming salvation for those who keep the Sabbath, who serve Him, and who hold fast to His covenant. God also declares that His House will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

When I heard that an ancient site that is connected to one of my favorite stories in the Bible was on ISIS’s list for destruction, I was discouraged. But when I found out what was discovered after the destruction, I was encouraged. When I was determined to see with my own two eyes the archeological evidence that matched the biblical message, I was ecstatic and made my way to Nineveh, in Biblical Iraq.
