(Did you just say Uma Thurman? No. Are you saying the movie series Kill Bill has some hidden theological meaning regarding prayer? No. Then what did you say? I said, “Urim and Thummim!” Oh…what’s that? Exactly!) I think what we just read is likely to be the post service conversation I have someone in just a few minutes. Urim and Thummim are two of the most mysterious mentions in all of Scripture. And I am convinced that God puts mystery (like the Urim and Thummim) in Scripture to spark curiosity. In this message we will talk about what I believe we are supposed to understand these words to actually mean and how they prophetically instruct us in prayer today. You don’t need gems to discern God’s will like the Israelites did in the Old Testament. We have a great High Priest…we have His sacrifice…we have the mind of Christ…so let’s learn about how these great promises are connected to the Urim and Thummim and why we should still carry the hope and expectation of being enlightened by the perfect will of God for our lives!
