A LOVING GOD (THE BOOK OF ISAIAH) 1
Isaiah 54:8
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
The children of Israel through whom God reached out to the world lived in an "off and on" relationship with God, they just could not stick to complete obedience being easily influenced by the world around them and just couldn't maintain a faithful relationship with God. Yet His love reached out!
It did not remain on the Jews only, but that all humanity may receive grace from God and that all will enjoy the salvation of the Lord God, freedom from the bondage of the world and sin.
Romans 9:22-26
What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,
even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved."
"And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' there they will be called sons of the living God."
Thus the Jews were privileged to be the channel of salvation to all humanity being referred to as the mother who did not bear as prophesied by Isaiah:
Isaiah 54:1
Sing, O barren, thou [that] didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou [that] didst not travail with child: for more [are] the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
That Christ, "God revealed" would be birthed through this nation of Israel.
So when we who have also believed read the book of Isaiah we can hold on to those great promises not in the ignorance or bondage of the law but in liberty revealed in Christ Jesus.
Acts 8:30&35
And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Thus unto us is prophesied the riches of His glory and the splendor of the eternity as revealed by Isaiah!
So we read and receive the glory of God towards us. The richness of His love and mercy.
Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; For your light has come! and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
Glory to God.
We are blessed
