Follow along as I read through the Bible in One Year and make a daily comment!
“Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.” Isaiah 52:13 My comments today start with this Verse and include all of Chapter 53. This is definitely one of “the” most important Chapters in the whole of the Bible. Recently, we heard the testimony of a Pastor, who growing […]
“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of man, nor be dismayed at their revilings.” Isaiah 51:7 Isaiah is such a fascinating Book. The language at times is overwhelming as God reveals to us the truth regarding the Messiah and His undying
“Thus says the Lord to Cyrus His anointed,” Isaiah 45:1a Some 150 years before Cyrus was born, Isaiah writes about him. In Chapter 44 he says, “It is I who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd! And he will perform all My desire.’ And he declares of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built,’ and of
“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.” Isaiah 42:1 As most know, Isaiah is filled with prophesies of Christ. Here is one of them. What caught my eye today was the promise “He
“Do you not know? Have you not heard?” Isaiah 40:12 This is a bit longer than usual, so indulge me a bit. My Bible reading this morning brought me to Isaiah 40. Most of us are familiar with this Chapter, because of the end, where we are told if “we wait on the Lord, we
“Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.” Isaiah 35:5 Here, in Chapter 35, we have a Desert coming to life; “The wilderness and the desert will be glad”, and “The scorched land will become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water”. Then,
“And He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is his treasure.” Isaiah 33:6 In the midst of this Chapter, as Isaiah describes God taking vengeance on His enemies, He makes this promise to His People; “He will be the stability of your
“For his God instructs and teaches him properly.” Isaiah 28:26 In the midst of this section of Isaiah, God uses an illustration of a farmer; how he does what he does and why. Today’s Verse is in the middle of that picture. What fascinated me with it is its general concept. God is involved in
“Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.” Isaiah 24:1 Judgement Day is coming to the Earth, and nothing Man tries to do, by his puny Climate Change Initiatives, will prevent it!!! This World, this Life, is all a precursor of the Eternal One to come. It
“Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”” Isaiah 22:13 In my Bible, Isaiah 22 is titled “The oracle concerning the Valley of Vision”. It is a Prophecy regarding the destruction of Jerusalem.
