Isaiah
Isaiah
8:1 - 8:22 Pages 1-8
In the last
Letter, we were given by The Lord a prophetic event, His promise of a 'sign'
that a virgin would conceive and bear a son called Immanuel, meaning 'God
with us' in the Hebrew. We were also told that He would
eat 'butter and honey'
in order to know to choose the good and refuse the evil. Honey is the food of
the prophet. This Book here of Isaiah is given to us by God through His prophet
Isaiah. Therefore, since Jesus Christ taught from the prophets in His Gospel,
we are also to 'consume' the Books of the prophets as 'butter
and honey', for these Books are God's Word. We are
still commanded to study the Books of God's prophets;
2 Peter 3:1-2: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words the which were spoken
before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the
Lord and Saviour.
1 Peter 1:7-12: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that peresheth...
James 5:10: Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of
the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and patience.
Eph.2: 19-22: Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with saints...
Rom.16: 26: But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandments of the everlasting God, made known to all nations
for the obedience of faith.
Rom.3: 21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
Rom.1: 1-5: 3. Concerning His son Jesus
Christ our Lord, Which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh...
Acts 28:23: And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him
into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of god,
persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses. And out of the
prophets, from morning till evening.
Acts 24:15: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that
there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.
Acts 15:14-15; 14, Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15, And
to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written.
Acts 3:21: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of
all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since
the world began.
John 6:44-45: 44, No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw
him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45, It
is written in the prophets, `And they shall be all taught of God, ` Every man
therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.
Luke 24:27: And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto
them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
So this analogy is for us today
also, not just the peoples of Isaiah's time only. If you've been reading my
Letters, I know you've heard me say it before; if we don't study much of The
Old Testament, we will not understand much of The New Testament. That's why
Jesus, our Lord and Saviour would point to The Old Testament when teaching in
The Gospel. Many think they can teach The New Testament and only turn to
The Old Testament when referenced in the New, and some disregard The Old with
statements such as "We don't live in the Old Testament anymore. It was all
history." You should know that to be a lie by now if you've been
studying with me.
We now continue with this study in the Book of
Isaiah, and we ask a word of wisdom from our Father, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
Isaiah 8:1 Moreover the LORD said unto me,
"Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning
Maher-shalal-hash-baz."
