Discuss Isaiah 40 Page 5

That's a great message & great Truths you shared, Anna. Our eyes need to be turned upward & not sideways or looking back. Our hope, our strength, & our deliverance lies only in the Lord of Glory. Man will fail us, Satan may buffet us, but God is our confidence & joy in all our circumstances because He is our Light, our Strength & the One we worship with all of our being. Looking anywhere else will assuredly bring on doubt & fear. Isaiah 40:31.

Isaiah 40:8 God says, "The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for ever." time is irrelevant .

Lets have the Bible interpret:

Psalms

Chapter 23

1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

( Isaiah 40:11)

( John 10:11)

( 1 Peter 2:25)-For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

( Rev 7:15-17)-For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

( Psalm 19:7-9)-the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

( Psalm 3:3-8)

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

( Revelation 21:6,7)-

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

( Luke 6:36,37)

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Isaiah ch 40 v 25 ,26,27,28,29,30,31

To whom then will ye liken me , or shall I be equal ? Dairy the Holy One .

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength:they shall mount up with wings of eagles ;they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint .

The Great Commission of Matthew 28:19 is one of the greatest commands in the Bible. Jesus told his disciples to "GO". We are to go therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the HolyGhost. Baptism is essential. If it were not, Jesus would not have given us this command. We Must baptize by immersion, the way they did it in biblical times, in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and HolyGhost. Father, Son, and HolyGhost are not a single name. So what is the name of the Father, and what is the name of the Son, and what is the name of the HolyGhost. Jesus said in St. John 17:6 that He manifested the name of the Father to the world. Colossians clearly tells us that all of Godhead rest in Jesus( Colossians 2:9). Therefore, we are to be baptized in the Name of Jesus. None of the apostles baptized using the titles Father, Son, and HolyGhost. They understood the Great Commission that He gave them. Jesus is the Name of the Father, Son, and the HolyGhost. He is the Father in creation. All things were made by Him(John1:3). He is the Son in redemption; for without the shedding of blood, there would be no remission of sin. God is a Spirit. The invisible God became visible in flesh(John1:14; Isaiah 40:3; 1Timothy3:16; Revelation 1:13; Colossians 2:9, etc) Jesus is the HolyGhost that fell on believers in the upper room ( Acts 2:4). No one in biblical times was baptized any other way--except in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This Great Commission is going all over the world. Jesus is the Messiah, He is the name of Savior of the world. Neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven given whereby we must be saved( Acts 4:12). Therefore, we must adhere to the words of the Great Commission given by our Savior and go into the world baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the HolyGhost. Teaching them to observe all things, and lo I am with you even unto the end of the world

It says in the bible..

exodus 20.8-11 remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god, in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

for in six days the lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, wherefore the lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

what day is the true sabbath day because some people say it's sunday and others say that it's friday sunset to an after saturday sunset ?

and how can we be sure because the only clue that i can find in the bible is in genesis 1.5 and god called the light day, and the darkness he called night. and the evening and the morning were the first day.

this suggest that sunset to sunset is a day, but this doesn't tell me which day is the sabbath is on, so how can we be sure which day is right ?

And AMEN sister!

In my experience angels can work invisible. I heard them seriously beat up a "spirit" that had tried to break my neck.

We are not to worship Them. We give praise to God. I learned that they report directly to God. So no one can order the angels around. Ask and then Praise the Lord Mightily for your help.

Some of the best scriptures for prayer are found searching the word, 'favor.'

Be careful of who you ask questions.

Hello,

How do really know what truth is? Have you ever been on the wrong side of something before?

I have a hard time relating to the flat earth perspective for 2 reasons:

1. Scripture

2. Scientific evidence that can be easily reproduced

So, I guess I'll offer my evidence and you can offer yours?

1. Isaiah 40:22 - says the circle of the earth. I interpret this as a globe, not a flat pancake.

2. There are so many easy experiements you can do on your own. I've already done them, so I know the Earth is round, but you can easily do these yourself:

a. Fly in a plane around the world. You can easy fly to where you are right now to the opposite side of the earth and have your phone on with GPS tracking and track the GPS coordinates of where you are at all times. Then book your return flight the opposite way back home. Just keep going in the same direction and you will end up where you started at home.

b. Secondly, you can do this easier and cheaper. Get 2 stakes identical in length and put one in your yard and setup a web camera which can monitor and measure its shadow. Then go on a trip to either west or east and set up the same stake in the ground at the exact same depth with a level- perfectly straight then measure the length of the shadow. When you measure it simply compare it to the shadow on your phone or tablet with your web cam and you can see the shadow lengths are different. If you measure this with the distance away you are you can calculate the diameter of the earth.

c. Get on a plane and go very high and see curvature.

d. Get on a plane and fly towards the west and you will have a more than 24 hr day, because of the sun and curve of the earth, the opposite if you travel east.

e. There's countless photos/videos documenting the earth. You can make your own too, release a balloon high in the air with a camera.

f. If earth was flat it would have an end, but there's no end. You can walk, boat, fly yourself to prove it. I have already. Why don't you?

Ralph, Malachi 3:1 Behold I (Jesus) will send my (Jesus') messenger (John the Baptist) , and he (John) shall prepare the way before me (Jesus): And the Lord (Jesus) whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his (Jesus) temple ( I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you) , even the messenger of the covenant (Jesus), whom ye delight in: behold he (Jesus) shall come, saith the Lord of host. Matthew 3:1-3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. (vs) 2 And saying, repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (vs) 3 For this is he (Elijah) that was spoken of by the prophet E-sai-as (Isaiah), Isaiah 40:3 saying, the voice of one (John) crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord (Jesus), make his (Jesus') paths straight. May the Spirit grace you with his understanding.

The West will be attacked by the east; the sign of the times have changed dramatically. Don't know when it will happen, however, it's coming. The end of times as we know it. Let's continue to pray and ask God for guidance. If God would have dealt with us according to our individual sin; no one would be left. Comment on I Isaiah cheaper 40.

He is near our savior is at the door. We need to wake up and see the sign of the times. Everything passes but his word. He is coming and has prepared a place for us who believe in Christ. Lets surrender all to him and be lead by his Holy Spirit so we can shine his light in the darkness that surrounds us in this world. So others can come to him before it is to late. Praise you Jesus for you blessed and mighty word. May you be glorified in our lives as we live for you. Yes come Lord Jesus!!! The Bride awaits her Husband!!! Amen!!!

The grass withers the flower fades but the word of our god

What does this verse mean?



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.

hat does

Flat earth? Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;........ a pancake?

Is the moon also flat? Believe in Jesus and the flat earth and thou shalt be saved?

Is this something to really argue over?

Jeffrey, Thin logic? Scripture is thin logic?

The Holy Ghost is called God, Jesus is God and the Father is also.

Acts 5:3-4 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to LIE to the HOLY GHOST, and to keep back part of the price of the land? ...thou hast not lied unto men, but unto GOD.

Each Person of the Godhead SPEAKS AUDIBLY in the Bible--

God the Father SAID of Jesus in Matthew 3:17 ..."This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Jesus SAID in John 10:30, " I and my Father are one."

The Holy Ghost SAID in Acts 13:2, ..."Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."

Genesis 1:26-27, And God said, LET US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness...So God created man in his own image, in the image of God [not angels. the "us" can only refer to God.] created he him;

In the Old Testament, we find that God has a Son ( Proverbs 30:4, Psalm 2:7-12) and a Spirit ( Isaiah 40:13, 2 Samuel 23:2, Judges 3:10, etc.).

I Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

The Godhead and salvation.

The Holy Ghost reproves us, teaches us, guides us and testifies of Jesus Christ.

John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, HE shall testify of me:

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

circle of the earth, circle of the earth, circle of the earth.

a pancake?

1. Isaiah 40:22 calls the earth a circle.

2. NASA doesn't control everything in the skies. You tried to discredit some scientists for being from Germany. Is that their fault? My family is from Germany and we're Christian, are you calling us Nazis? Have you even been to Germany? When a country gets a corrupt oppressive ruler its a logical fallacy to assume all its people suddenly become evil. The fact is the vast majority of Germans were against the Nazi rule and were scared and propaganda lies made them not know the truth of what was going on.

3. The circle of the earth is easily proven by flying on an airplane. If you go high up you can see curvature of the horizon. Also, you can fly all the way around the world in a straight line and end up at your place of origin. I've already done this myself and proved the earth is a sphere. Have you ever traveled? This is a very easy experiment you can do, so what would prevent you from doing this? God already gave us the brains and resources to explore our natural world. People already do this all the time for work, vacation, etc. So when you do this you won't see any folds, no 'end' point, which is because its a sphere with gravity pulling from the middle. Otherwise where is your source of gravity? So, you expect to 'fall off' the end and 'down' in space? Where is down? Anyway you could simply take a GPS and plot all the waypoints of your flight then later plot in software and you'll see its a globe/circle just as God said.

4. There's a mountain of photo/video evidence of what the earth looks like from space. Thousands of photos/videos from before CGI was invented and before non-linear video editing was invented. What prevents you from writing/talking to the people who have been space? All the other stars and planets we can already see are also circles/spheres. We have lots of satellites orbiting earth all the time, which allows you to have internet service, to use websites like this, to read the Bible online, etc. God bless!

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth,...SO IS THE EARTH A PANCAKE?

So believe in Jesus and the flat earth and thou shalt be saved? really?

How does believing in a flat earth edify the Lord or change anything?

is the moon and the sun flat also?

Chris, following up on where I left off. As you point out, Hebrews 10:5 "speaks of the temporary, deficient & incompleteness of the sacrificial system & that only God's offering would accomplish God's Purposes." So, the logical conclusion is that if:

1. God prepared a body for Christ

2. And He prepared that human body before creation ( 2 Tim 1:9)

3. And God created mankind in His image

4. Then, can we conclude God created man so Christ could have a human body in His image?

Or was it accidental? God either created man in His image on purpose and with a purpose, or the body for Christ was a convenient accident. Wasn't the Law, to include sacrifices, set up by God as a Shadow of what was to come? If the Law was a Shadow, what was it a Shadow of? For there to be a Shadow, there has to be a real object that casts that Shadow. And which comes first, the shadow or the object that casts that Shadow? Col 2:17. And if a Shadow, when was that Shadow cast? When God used an animal to clothe Adam and Eve? When Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain? Or when Abraham offered his son on the altar?

We see from these Scriptures, I hope, the Shadow of Christ's Sacrifice was cast prior to anything being created. Heb 8:5. Consequently, is it fair to conclude that both the Shadow and the object that casts that Shadow, Christ, were for Christ to enter the world as the True Sacrificial Lamb? Col 2:17, Isa 49:6, 51:5.

Isaiah 40:3 sounds the call to prepare the way for the Lord. You said, "It does not speak of man being created to open the way for Christ to come & be his Sacrifice." But if the call is not to man, who is the call to? Who was to come? A man. Why did God make man in His image? Because an animal could not meet the needs only the Man Christ could satisfy.

And when did Christ start casting the Shadow? He started casting the Shadow back to the beginning of time, from the 1st Century Cross, to before creation. John 8:58. Which came 1st, Man, Shadow or Christ?

Kathy, not sure what you're looking for, but if it has to do with any other Scripture that has resemblance to Psalm 23 in showing God's care for His people, then have a look at: Isaiah 40:9-11; Jeremiah 31:10,11; Ezekiel 34:11-16; John 10:11-17; 1 Peter 2:25. There are of course, many other references to the duty of shepherds & the many shepherds in Israel, not of flocks, but of God's people, who have not done according to what God required of them & therefore received some stern warnings.

Jesus Christ is for believers now, their Great Shepherd, Who not only gave His Life for His sheep, but will one day come to gather them in a special way, into His fold to save them from the Anger of God that is coming upon the world, & to relocate them to a new "sheep pen", i.e. unto Himself in the New Jerusalem where we will be with Him & the Father forever.

A waiter at a restaurant is "waiting" on us as customers. To "wait" upon The LORD is to busy ourselves in service to Him. Yes putting Him first involves us submerging ourselves into His Word His presence and in prayer communing with Him. The Psalmist says,"enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise." That is waiting upon The Lord. The word waiting here does not intend us doing nothing but watching and being only patient. God loves our communion with Him. He brings His results when we do. Hallelujah

Circle of the earth = a pancake? flat earth?

Thank you Donna, what you Shared from your Heart is very very True. Recently I was in Hospital after two accidents and its been hard for me to get Home Help. Im also being Persecuted again f0or my Faith in our Lord and Saviour which I share and Jesus tells us this will happen when we follow Him.It hurt too being abused by two people I Trusted with my Health needs, one claimed to be Christian yet his actions and beliefs showed he had no true understanding but I was once the same so I'm Praying for both of them. But in all my Suffering and Heartache our Awesome God of Love spread His Wings and shielded me from the power of the evil one to destroy my Faith in His Love and Compassion Ps62:5-12.

When we realize in our Hearts we have been Leading only half a Life the other half is going to Reach out to us until we Seek the Lord to Empower us to Live it.

We were made by God and for God, He comes First Nothing else.

Until we Understand what He has Planed for us and what He has Equipped us for we will not feel Fulfilled or Complete. God wants our Love and Friendship without Him in our Life it is without real meaning or purpose. It's only in Jesus Christ that we Discover our Purpose and our Calling.

Isaiah 40: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with Wings as Eagles, they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.

Esaias is the NT Greek rendering of the prophet Isaiah. It is the most quoted old testament book in the new testament I believe.
Compare Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
with
Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight

When God fills a person with His Spirit one can truly soar above the heartaches of this life. How do I know, God has proven this to me. Praise The Dear Name Of Jesus!

As stated above, who or what can we who are the dust of the earth compare Jehovah, GOD with. GOD create all that is seen and unseen. The sun, stars, moon, earth, ..., bees, flowers, ..., are HIS creation. Also mankind is blessed by GOD to be included in GOD creation. Nevertheless mankind foolishly fail to follow the basic instruction from GOD, so GOD introduce us to Mercy, Grace, Redemption through JESUS or John 3:16 -21 and most reject them. Instead we self inflect ourselves with sin then cry wont nobody help me. BUT the remnant apply John 3:16-21 and hold to verse 31 above. Evil is on the offence to seek, seduce, kill, and destroy as many men, women, children, because TIME is near the end.

That is my favorite for encouragement
