When God Gets Personal

When God Gets Personal Isaiah 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard , that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. Yesterday was the first time I noticed the differences between these repeated phrases. In verse 21, God addresses the whole nation of Israel or perhaps even the whole world (which is often addressed in the second main section of Isaiah), but in verse 28, the Lord addresses the individual: thou . Singular, an individual. The promise here is to the individual believer who chooses to focus on the Lord above all else, who waits upon the Lord in faith. Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is ...

The Four Faces Of The Cherubim And The Beasts

The Four Faces Of The Cherubim And The Beasts Ezekiel 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Ezekiel 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Revelation 4:6-7 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. I always wondered why there were three different orders given for the faces of the cherubim in Ezekiel and the beasts presented in Revelation. These are not the same creatures. Each che...

Israel Coming Together As A Nation In 1948

Israel Coming Together As A Nation In 1948 Have you ever read Robert Anderson’s The Coming Prince ? In the book he calculated how to show when the Old Testament showed the Messiah would come. Using Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks (70 x 7 years, 490 years). According to the context, the weeks referred to are weeks of years - ie. each week is seven years; therefore 70 weeks would equal 490 years. Daniel 9:24-27 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks ...
