Yeshurun, The Upright Ones

[Mr. M]

Deuteronomy 33:26 There is none like the God of Yeshurun, riding the heavens in thy help, and in His excellency the skies.

Yeshurun-from yashar [H3474]=Straight, direct. As in:

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Psalms 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

The Israel of God is Yeshurun, those who walk the narrow way. This is the Lord's Dominion.

Isaiah 44:1 Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen. 2 Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will help you: Fear not, O Jacob My servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

All descendants of Jacob are called servants of The Lord. Those who obey are chosen.

These are the Israel of God. These are Jeshurun. Many are called, few are chosen.

The chosen are the new creation of the Lord.

Isaiah 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,  The Creator of Israel, your King.

Isaiah 44:1 Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen. 2 Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will help you: Fear not, O Jacob My servant; and you, Yeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Psalms 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in Thee.

Children Of Israel; A People Who Are Near To Him

Psalms 148:14 And He has exalted the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints. Of the children of Israel, the people who are near to Him.

Halleluyah!

Considering this reference to who the children of Israel are, and understand that this is not a physical proximity.

Isaiah 29:13 Therefore the Lord said: these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men.

How then does one draw near to God?

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist, says the Lord. But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.

He inhabits eternity, and the hearts of those who are broken and contrite.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty One, Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

This is the place where His salvation manifests.

Psalms 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Children of Israel show they are the contrite ones by their devotion to the fear of the Lord.

Psalms 119:38 Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to Your fear.

The Joy of our Salvation, and the offering of acceptable sacrifices

Psalms 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
