Let us notice some of the gems in Isaiah.
Chapter 1.18 " Come now and let us reason together says the Lord" - The Lord God, so offended by rebellion, is not unreasonable! ( try reading this in New Living Translation - it is beautiful)
Chapter 6 In a day when uncleanness was the mark of disobedience, God shines through as "Holy, holy, holy" This brilliant ray of light brings hope to those willing to be purified by the perpetual value of the alter (Hebrews 1.3)
Chapter 9:6,7 "Unto us a child is born, a son is given......" This messianic prophecy dispels the hopelessness of unbelief. The riches of these few verses has remained a source of hope for more than 2000 years. I encourage you to take time out to ponder, search the word meanings, consider the culture and context, and see the prophecy gloriously fulfilled in Jesus Christ our Lord. You will wonder, worship and praise !!
Chapter 11 is long distance foretelling in full swing. Things yet to be, only possible through the risen exalted Lord Jesus
Chapter 28.16 is a prophecy and a promise quoted in the New Testament (the compass points to Peter - but I will let you find it) The promise of safety for those who TRUST in the Lord is like Chapter 30.15 " in returning and rest you will be saved, in quietness and confidence will be your strength"
These gems reveal the cause for the sad tale of woes - the underlying problem of unbelief, departure from God and rebellion against God. O that people today would learn the lesson of history and turn to the God who loves , who waits to cleanse, to comfort................
Chapter 32.1 "The King is coming" He came once and was rejected, but He said "I will come again" For the believer this prospect is uplifting, but for the unbeliever how terrorizing to one day become the direct object of God's judgements at the hand of Jesus Christ the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 1
Chapter 42 is a delightful description of the servant of Jehovah. This is Jesus in the character of a servant. Let these verses be food for your soul as you meditate on one in whom there is no disappointment.
Chapter 53 stands uniquely significant in the Old Testament and the New - the mystery of a suffering Messiah. ( as we referred to in a previous article)
Chapter 61 and many more places, cheer the heart and inspire faith.
Let us look up instead of around.
