Wednesday – January 3, 2024, Tevet 22, 5784
Greetings to one and all especially to those of the household of faith. Welcome back our Bible Study of the Bible Book of Isaiah. What a wonderful Book full of warnings, lessons, and abundant hope. Remember hope in Scripture is not maybe, maybe not, it is an anticipated outcome that will occur. The promises of God don’t just drop on us because we got saved, we have to think, speak, and do according to the policy and procedure manual (Bible). Please take a moment and share this teaching, for that matter all teachings, as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Please don’t forget that I have published several books which are available to help us all be more like Him. These books are available on Amazon or our website, the links for both are listed below. There is always on open invitation for those the Lord calls to financially partner with us, our mission. As we enter this year let’s each one of us ask ourselves if we are in our place and are we occupying our assigned responsibility. In the accounts of the pounds and talents which servant are we? A day of judgment is coming and it is coming soon when we must give an accounting.
2 Corinthians 5:9-11 (KJV)
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
This reminds me of a much earlier Scripture penned by King Solomon by the unction of the Holy Spirit.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud, yes, out loud, you know why.
Isaiah 49:5-7 (KJV)
5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Jacob/Israel was brought into existence to honor and worship God and be a light to the Gentiles. Through them God brought a legal redemption for all of mankind. As you know this occurred over, what we would call, a long period of time with Abram, later Abraham, building faith for the promised child Isaac and finally but far from least the testing of that Blood Covenant on Mt. Moriah. This all occurred over 50+ years from Genesis 12 to Genesis 22. We see from Scripture and as we look at modern Israel that there are many despise Israel, yet she remains a nation chosen by God. Israel will be standing when all others have exited the earth.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.
