Through Isaiah 45 (p.900)

Isaiah 16

To the land between Sela and Zion

Moab's daughters, Arnon's fords, Sibmah's vine
:8 – Heshbon's fields
:14 – years of an hireling?
Isaiah 17

To Damascus

:10 – strange slips?
Isaiah 18

To the shadowing land

:7 – present?
Isaiah 19
To Egypt
:20 – One thing about when trouble comes – that's when you hear from people you may not have heard from in awhile for prayer.
Isaiah 20
:2 – Isaiah walked NAKED AND BAREFOOT for 3 years as a sign about Egypt and Ethiopia (Interesting that so much of Africa is still this way – naked and barefoot). I am so glad that I live in this time and don't have that ministry!
Isaiah 21
To the desert of the sea
:1 – I understand those desert winds after living in the Mojave desert...AND having the tent up there!
:5 – anoint the shield – Good idea.
:11 – To Dumah
:16 – according to the years of an hireling-this shall come to pass at this very time, the event shall no longer be deferred, just as a hireling does not protract his daily work beyond the agreed hour http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H7916&t=KJV
Isaiah 22
To the Valley of Vision
:11 - ...ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago...
Isaiah 23
To Tyre

Isaiah 24
:15 – Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

:23 – Who are the Lord's ancients?

Isaiah 25
Woes are over!
Isaiah 26
:2 – Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.- Not only will the king of glory come in the open gates, but the righteous nation!
:3 – Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. The answer to perfect peace. Forget Confusion. I mean Confucious.
:9 – For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. ~I know that's right. Judgment brings repentance and humility.

:17-18 – I believe this is a very effective prayer for pastors, or any minister striving to produce something in the earth.

Isaiah 27
:12 – 13 – Gather when the trumpet blows...not up up and away, but to worship in the holy mount.
Isaiah 28
Woe returns – now to Ephraim.
:18 – And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Isaiah 29
Woe to Ariel
:10 – spirit of deep sleep from the LORD

:13 – Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:~Exactly. This happens still often today with people who will brag on you, but have little to do with what you are doing for the Lord.

Isaiah 30
:1 – Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
:15 – For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; in returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

:20-21 – And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. ~I absolutely believe this 100%. Adversity and affliction have been our hidden teachers. And the voice is real...sometimes coming behind you because you have to move in faith sometimes before the voice comes. As my old youth pastor used to say, “You can't steer a parked car.”

:33 – the breath of the LORD = a stream of brimstone

Isaiah 31
:1 – Egypt was a land with multitudes of gods with multitudes of names...and many chariots and horses and goods of every kind. So no wonder the Psalm said “We will remember the name of the Lord our God [Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Ps. 20:7]
Isaiah 32
:20 – Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
Isaiah 33
14 – Who knew that Zion had sinners in it? Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isaiah 34
:4 – the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll

Isaiah 35

:1 – The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

:4 – God comes with vengeance to save his people.

:8 – Highway of Holiness
Isaiah 36
Hezekiah, Sennacherib, Assyria, Rabshakeh, Lachish, Eliakim, Hilkiah, Shebna, Joah, Asaph, Hamath, Arphad, Sepharvaim
Storytime chapter.
Isaiah 37
:29 – Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. ~God to Hezekiah
:36 – This reminds me of the story about Jehosaphat and the angel of God killing Israel's enemies at that time. Who ever thought angels did all that killing for God?
Isaiah 38
:2 – Sometimes you just have to turn your face to the wall and cry out to God for what you want.
:8 – I wonder how many minutes 10 degrees was on the sundial?
:18 – For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.***
Isaiah 39
:8 - Why did Hezekiah say that Isaiah's word from God was good?
Isaiah 40
Beautifully poetic, like a Psalm.
:3 – I love how I keep reading about highways for God. You can drive fast on highways and go both ways.
:28 – 31 – power to the faint
Isaiah 41
:19 – 7 trees: cedar, shittah, myrtle, oil, fir, pine, box
Isaiah 42
:6 -7 – I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. ~All I want to do is quote Isaiah. I love it even more than Psalms! Maybe it's because it is like Israel earns all this blessings after making it through the “woe chapters.”
:14 – now will I cry like a travailing woman~this always jumps out to me whether I'm reading or listening to Isaiah. It is as if the words themselves are crying like the woman.
Isaiah 43
:1 - Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by name; thou art mine.
:18 - 19 – Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 44
:1 – Jesu-run?
Isaiah 45
Sounds like the rebuke of Job.
:9 – Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fasioneth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?

:11 – Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.~God asking to be commanded?!

:15 – Yes, he sure is a God who hides Himself.

:23 – That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.~Sound familiar? Later in the NT...that Jesus Christ is Lord!! Hallelujah!
