    Isa.1.2 "Faith"

    "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken"

    Isaiah calls the two worlds as witnesses. Hear of heavens refer to the Word, word which was with God; and the earth the prophet calls to witness and says, 'for the Lord hath spoken'. And how come some have heard while the remaining have not? St Paul also testifies, " But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.". The problem therefore is the ear of natural man rejects them as foolishness while the godly hears with the ear of faith. "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."(Rom.10.17-18)

    Enmity of flesh and spirit is in their own being and each working under two contrary laws. "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man/ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."(Rom.7.22-23). These fall under two worlds where the world framed by the word know the truth because God has revealed them which the carnal man is sold under sin and he is like an adder that stops from hearing. The wicked refuses to come to light because their works are evil."The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies./Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear."(Ps.58.3-4) The Spirit of God raises the banner declaring the holiness of God emblem of which is the slain Lamb. The earth belongs to the Son who presented the doctrine of his Father under the banner of love. ( Jn 3.16)Before fulfilling the will of his Father he announced during the Last Supper,"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you." This life is the life of the Spirit, the emblem of the slain Lamb to which children of faith shall take to, "I am the Way" Grace is his gift.
