1453 - Isaiah 60 part 2

  Isaiah Chapter 60 part 2 “Foreigners will come, to rebuild your towns, and their kings will serve you. For, though I have destroyed you, in my anger, …I will now have mercy on you, through my grace. Your gates will stay open day and night, to receive the wealth, of many lands. The kings, of the world, will be led, as captives, in a victory procession. For, the nations, that refuse to serve you, will be destroyed. “The glory of Lebanon will be yours—the forests of cypress, fir, and pine—to beautify my sanctuary. My Temple will be glorious! The descendants, of your tormentors, will come, and bow before you. Those, who despised you, will kiss your feet. They will call you… the City of the Lord, …and Zion, of the Holy One of Israel. “Though you were once despised and hated, with no one traveling through you, I will make you beautiful forever, …I will make you a joy to all generations. Powerful kings and mighty nations will satisfy your every need, …as though you were a child, nursing...

1452 - Isaiah 60 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 60 part 1 “Arise, Jerusalem!  Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory, of the Lord, rises to shine on you. Darkness, as black as night, covers all the nations of the earth, …but the glory, of the Lord, rises …and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance. “Look and see, for everyone is coming home!

1451 - Isaiah 59

Isaiah Chapter 59 Listen!  The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call to Him. It’s your sins, that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away, and He will not listen anymore. Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin. Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption. No one cares about being fair and honest. The people’s lawsuits are based on lies. They conceive evil deeds, and then give birth to sin. They hatch deadly snakes, and weave spiders’ webs. Whoever eats their eggs will die; whoever cracks them… will hatch a viper. Their webs can’t be made into clothing, and nothing they do …..is productive. All their activity is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark. Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them. They don’t know where to find peace, …nor do they know what it means t...
