SING TO ADONAI A NEW SONG
Greetings precious saints of God and welcome back to this illuminating and stimulating Bible Study of the Book of Isaiah. As we prepare to dive into this wonderful Book, please take a moment and share as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. The featured picture today is a stock photo of a stage with a play being performed. This is to represent one of the seven pillars of society, the pillar of sports and entertainment. I suspect you are very much aware that sports and entertainment have a powerful voice in America. Let us pray for righteousness to invade this sphere of influence. God is not going to “sovereignly” invade this sphere, although He has the Power, He does not have the authority. He will raise up men and women through which to work, perhaps you are called to this arena. As you know I have been encouraging us all to pray for two of the seven pillars namely the government and the Church but now I am expanding by the will of God for us to pray for all seven pillars. Our desire is for men and women of God, not the heathen, and certainly not the anti-God people, to control these seven gates.
Proverbs 9:1 (KJV)
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
You may have also heard these pillars referred to as mountains or spheres of influence. All of these are talking about the same thing. Jesus destroyed all of the enemies’ legal right to occupy these gates and it is our job to enforce that victory and occupy the high ground so to speak. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the Book of Isaiah continuing to read out loud, yes, out loud.
Isaiah 42:8-12 (CJB)
8 I am Adonai; that is my name. I yield my glory to no one else, nor my praise to any idol.
9 See how the former predictions come true; and now new things do I declare — before they sprout I tell you about them.”
10 Sing to Adonai a new song! Let his praise be sung from the ends of the earth by those sailing the sea and by everything in it, by the coastlands and those living there.
11 Let the desert and its cities raise their voices, the villages where Kedar lives; let those living in Sela shout for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops!
12 Let them give glory to Adonai and proclaim his praise in the coastlands.
As we move forward let’s take a look at verses 10, 11, and 12 in the Message Bible.
Isaiah 42:10-12 (MSG)
10 Sing to GOD a brand-new song, sing his praises all over the world! Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, with all the far-flung islands joining in.
11 Let the desert and its camps raise a tune, calling the Kedar nomads to join in. Let the villagers in Sela round up a choir and perform from the tops of the mountains.
12 Make GOD’s glory resound; echo his praises from coast to coast.
Here we see a wonderful intermixing of glory (manifested goodness) and praise (declaring who He is, what He is). If we think about it, there is no praise without a manifested goodness, whether it be of God or a person. The Lord (Adonai) is showing them the way of victory, the way of liberty, the way of prosperity in every arena. They have been looking to themselves and the arm of other flesh and that all comes to naught and brings the wrath (judgment) of God at some point. This is justice. Let’s continue forward in our Isaiah text.
Isaiah 42:13-16 (CJB)
13 Adonai will go out like a soldier, like a soldier roused to the fury of battle; he will shout, yes, he raises the battle cry; as he triumphs over his foes.
14 “For a long time I have held my peace, I have been silent, restrained myself. Now I will shriek like a woman in labor, panting and gasping for air.
15 I will devastate mountains and hills, wither all their vegetation, turn the rivers into islands and dry up the lakes.
16 The blind I will lead on a road they don’t know, on roads they don’t know I will lead them; I will turn darkness to light before them, and straighten their twisted paths. These are things I will do without fail.
Now we see that the person talking is the coming Messiah although the use of the title Adonai remains.
