Once again enjoy the video. Fascinating stuff that I never knew or even considered before. one of the things I will need to remember while reading it is that this is an anthology written by a scribe. So there may be points where the topic changes abruptly, I’ll need to make note where one story […]

Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 65-66
65:1-16: if I’m reading this right God is saying, open my arms to you and you rejected me so I’ll reject you. 17: so the words created, heavens, earth, are the exact same Hebrew words used in Genesis 1:1. The only difference is the addition of the word ‘new’. Which in this case means: different, […]

Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 63-64
Chapter 63 – after talking with the Lord about his anger that killed people, Isaiah’s response is to discuss his Mercy, and then ask for mercy. usually when we are in the pits of despair we just wallow in it. We need to remember all the good things the Lord has done for us already, […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 59-60
59:1-13 – what is with these pronouns. He starts out saying you did this halfway through changes to their problems and then switches to we suffer. So he speaks to the unrighteous among us first, then to the righteous among us, then to all of us. Us being the Israelites and or God’s people. And […]

Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 57-58
57:1-13 – I laugh at how ridiculous Israel looks here. However I realized that we do the same thing. In times of relative peace I don’t bother putting my trust in God, but when hard times come the things I put my trust and will just blow away. And I’m left there with no; yelling […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 55-56
55:2 – wow, that hit home. Just looking around where I’m sitting in the living room. Why did I spend money on what will not satisfy. It doesn’t say we can’t have nice things. In fact it says enjoy good food. Meaning, to me at least, consider and take into account when purchasing is this […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 53-54
A passage we’re all pretty familiar with, Isaiah’s prophecy in chapter 53 has been quoted, posted, preached many times. But we take it for granted and immediately associate it with Jesus. Could you imagine reading this these first time as an Israelite in that time. ‘what? The king of the Jews will be tortured and […]
