God has zeal. 

He speaks with zeal(Eze 5:13) and 

His zeal accomplishes what He speaks(Is 37:32). 



The zeal of God is revealed 

In His creation and 

In the process of fulfilling His will. 



Faith is kneeling before His zeal and 

The life of this faith is being zealous with the zeal of God(2Co 11:2). 



In all fields, whether politics, science, culture or sports, 

It is those few with passion that make the world history. 

As such, geniuses are made, not born. 



All men were demoted to being slaves of the devil because 

Adam sinned, deceived by the devil who 

Prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour(1Pe 5:8). 



God sought zealous men and revealed His plan to them: 

Noah built the ark for more than 70 years and 

He and his family were saved from the flood(He 11:7); 

Abraham gave his only son whom he received at the age of 100 as a burnt offering and 

His offspring received the promise of blessing(Ge 22:16-28); and 

Jacob wrestled to the point of breaking the socket of his hip and 

Received the blessed name, Israel(Ge 32:24-28). 



The exodus of Israel after 430 years of slavery was 

The site where God's zeal accomplished what 

He spoke with zeal. 

This was reminded through 

The sanctuary they were commanded to build. 



The Israelites had special zeal for: 

The One God(1Ki 18:19); 

The Law - keeping it and punishing those who broke it; 

The holy name - the name of God, Jehovah(Eze 39:25); 

The Temple - loving it(Ps 84:2-10; Da 6:10; Jnh 2:4); and 

The traditions of their fathers - preserving them(Gal 1:14). 

Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days, because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body(Jn 2:19-22), 

He would be zealous with the zeal of the Father. 

Thus, never resting during His ministry years, 

He drove out demons, healed the sick, taught and 

Prayed to the point of having His sweat drop like blood(Lk 22:44). 



Being put to death by the Jews who had zeal for the temple(Mt 27:40), 

Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He: 

Accomplished what the Father said with zeal(Jn 10:18); 

Condemned the father of lies the devil(Ge 3:4-6; 1Jn 3:8); and 

With His redeeming blood released the captives and returned them(Eze 37:25), making them a people eager to do what is good(Tit 2:14). 

He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne. 



The Holy Spirit lets 

Believers have zeal with the zeal of God for: 

Jesus the incarnate God(Jn 1:18, Jn 14:1); 

Preaching the gospel - saving souls(Ac 20:23-24); 

Y'shua name - the name of God - baptism, prayer, healing, driving out demons; 

The church - workers of the church; and 

Keeping, defending and teaching the Truth. 

The man of the Spirit is he who is 

Moved by the zeal of God. 

Therefore, he is zealous until the end, never giving up to any danger(2Co 11:24-29). 

So he would not be spat out in the last day(Rev 3:16), for 

One man's extreme zeal stirs many into action(2Co 9:2; Gal 1:13-14) and 

Keeps his family, his home group and church hot. 



O Lord, 

Let us all be extremely zealous. 

Let the flame of the Holy Spirit burn higher! Amen.
