Reading for October 27th

 Read Luke 11.14-26. In 11.14-54: Jesus meets opposition. In 11.14-26: Satan's kingdom. In verse 15: Beelzebul is a variant of "Baalzebub," the god of Ekron (2 Kings 1.2-6), whom Elijah defeated as a false god. In verse 20: In Ex 8.19, even the Egyptian magicians could tell that Moses accomplished the plagues by the finger of God. Jesus' words are a warning against "opposing God" ( Acts 39; 11.17). In verses 21-23: The royal imagery expresses God's strength in the realm of a mighty foe (Isa 49.2425). In verse 24: On waterless regions, see 8.33. Comments or Questions..
