Discuss Isaiah 45 Page 10

There is a bit of controversy of that scripture. Some translations see it as a command and some others translation see it question however the bottom line the Almighty who is supreme, does whatever pleases Him. But critical look at the above scripture from the first verse shows God was telling Cyrus that He knew him before he was born and not just that He has chosen him.

The God Almighty created evil according to Isaiah 45:7 as His sword. May God deliver us from all evil of this world in the name of Jesus Christ the only Saviour.

Release angelic and spiritual forces over the affairs of your prosperity, command and give them charge to go to work.

The anointed one being talked about here is the antichrist. God shows this twice saying I have raised him up though he has not known me. The only whole world will bow before this guy and say that God is in him and there is no other god. Our God is hidden away for this last day. He is showing what He is doing here to Israel His elect church which are sons and Jacob his servant. There is only one God and those that continually seek Him will know what He is doing, and will teach the sleeping church when there is much weeping and sorrow because of false teachings by many religions. You better wake up saints and seek God with all your heart. Hosea 4:6 says my people are DESTROYED for lack of knowledge (word of God), because they rejected me, I have rejected them from being priests. He will save you, but draw near to Him, if you want to escape the terrible things coming upon this present evil world. Paul

The light I feel God is speaking of is the separation from the light and darkness. I think of this light spoken of is goodness and badness. Like in the scriptures as you read verses you will notice that solar children are separated from the lunatics or children of darkness. A lot happens in these first few verses of the word of God. Isaiah 45:18 is the first verse. Then a war happened because of Ezekiel 28 and what Satan as the prince of Tyrus and Revelation 12:4 and we know who the stars are by reading Job 38:7 and Proverbs 8:31. So, in these first few verses Satan tried attempted overthrow and had stolen a third of God's children and God got mad and the destruction is in Jeremiah 4:22-27. Then God separated the light from the darkness so I think He separating good from evil. Then He begins to re-new the earth as it was and we were replenished in the flesh to see if we can be good enough to make it home. Judgment is in our hands, you could say because what you do on earth this time is how your ending will be. Thank God for the LORD Jesus Christ and through Him we can be forgiven. Them that don't think Jesus is who the Word says He is, well, I feel sorry for them because He is the only WAY.

@Chris,
1 John 1:5 says “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” So God is not the author of bad things.
But as people in the Old Testament had very little knowledge Satan, who is the author of evil, they attributed all; and the good, and the bad to God. And that is a Figure of Speech (way of expressing an idea that may be different from its literal meaning). And the Figure of Speech is called Idiom of Permission.
That Idiom is found in places like Matthew 6:13 where it says “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.‘’ Which would literally mean God may lead us into temptation; which the Bible denies God would do in James 1:13, as it says “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:”
In fact the devil is responsible for all evil, and Jesus Christ made him known to the public (Church), Colossians 2:15. Satan can no more hide.
God bless you.

Isaiah 45:7 speaks of God creating evil, what exactly is meant by evil in this verse?

There is only one God that is Jehovah. And God himself knows each and every one of us! Stay blessed

Verse 3, Treasures of darkness and Hidden riches is Revelation Knowledge given in dreams and visions and in the deepest part of our beings through the power of the Holy Spirit.

A GOOD VERSE TO HELP UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS ONE GOD BUT HAS THREE PERSONS IS JOHN 10:30 .THIS ONE SPEAKS OF TWO OF THOSE PERSONS-GOD AND JESUS

I wonder what the trinitarians think when they come across Isaiah 45:18. God himself says there is no one else, but they say there are two other Gods. Is God saying there are three in one? If there were, he would have said so.

Very confused. To have evil it must be committed.
Therefore God created an action the must be committed. ??????????

The image is the same One in Gen. 14:18 Melchizedek who brought forth bread and wine to Abram, King of Salem or King of Peace. Mwlchizedek means King of the Righteous. Jesus said when you see me you have seen the Father. When God said let us, He didn't leave Himself out He said"Our" image. If Father send us here to live and die in the flesh I think you get the point. If you want to know who he was talking to at that time just go to Proverbs 8:31 when the creation of earth was and Job 38:7 will tell you all the souls of the children were pretty happy at the time of earth and the way the earth way created as it is spoken of in Isaiah 45:18. But then old devil who guarded the Mercy seat,Throne wanted to steal it and in the outline Rev. 12 the dragon had a political system set up and had stolen a third of God`s star/children and God got very mad and we read of that distruction in Jeremiah 4:22-27. We got stupid all of us. Maybe not as stupid as some where we learn the Parable of the tares in Matt. 13:36 thru 44 or sowhere satan sows his wicked seed the tares but maybe we didn't realize how good we had it and God turned off the lights and took us all back up. Father loves earth to, He married the land of Jerusalem and where ever God is Heaven is and He can be anywhere He wants. Then He seperated the good from the bad and we are being replenished. In the flesh. 2 Peter 3 can help in understanding the world that was submerged in water and this one reserved until the judgment of fire. Love God and wait for the true Christ and don't chase after the fake one that comes de-facto for at least 2 and half months sitting where he ought not. The Fire will burn evil but to them that love God and wait, a warm love. Now the D.N.A. of Adam was taken to make the woman Eve and she had two fraternal twins Cain and Able. You won't find Cains geneology in Adams because Cain belonged to the devil. But. We know that at least two of every flesh got on the boat for the 2nd flood of 5 months on the water because it was told to us and we see the kenites show up in 1 chron. 2:55. The LORD foretold us all things even when He cut the time down to 5 months from 7 years in Rev. 9 for the elect sake and that it would be at the end just like it was in Noahs time.

Levi wisdom was Proverbs 8:22 to 31 and in 31 you will see that you are there along with all of us. Moses was most likely the scribe. Creation was spoken of in Isaiah 45:18. Along time before this renewal took place of planet earth. The first earth age was destroyed,made to a wilderness in Jeremiah 4:22 to 27 and after that katabole (cast down overthrow) you see there God telling us "not to a full end" no not Noahs flood there is no boat or people left in the first flood. 2 Peter 3 speaks of this and were not to be ignorant of it. The 4th word in the 2nd verse is hayah and it means and translates "became" not "was". God got mad and sunk the earth in water and washed it like a bowl 14000 years ago because of an attempted overthrow by satan. Things froze up pretty cold and then God turned the light back on. All that I said I can prove in the scripture but I my self have an opinion about something that I can't prove to be scripture and that is verse 4 where I believe God seperated the children of light from the children of the darkness. If you read the Parable of the Sower Matt. 13:37 to 43 you see the seperation of children and who sows them. We know 2 of every flesh got on the 2nd flood boat with Noah and his family so that means 2 kenites (sons of Cain) and they show up in 1st Chron. 2:55. Oh! Eve didn't eat an apple in the fig grove with Satan the serpent who was the tree of good who turned evil. Nope! Cain came from his daddy the tree of good and evil and that's the contravesy spoken of between the seeds. (Sperm) generations not yet born. Anyway, we were all replenished in the flesh this second earth age and this first chapter is speaking of getting things back in order to live in the flesh.

In verse one."rise up against me". Last letters come first. This statement means individuals go against God in confusion from the deception. Or you could say converted chaldeans.(2) speaks of the elect.(3) brigandine is armor. Elect and truth run it off the earth.(4) is when they realize the truth.on to (6) come out of Babylon or meaning confusion.(7) Revelation 17:4 ,5 to understand the one world religion so pretty all are drunk in deception loving their new god.(8) can't be healed.(9) Zechariah 5, the dirty bird stork, the woman and she sitteth in the midst of the ephah and that ephah means religion. (10) Gods work. (11) seeing shields I think of Syrus chosen from before his birth. Also it shall come to pass.(12) truth prevails.(13) the hidden truth and that white wash washed away and we will see the truth.no more deception.(14) caterpillers/locust. And then the honest people will swarm them like they did us.(15) Isaiah 45:18,19 and Proverbs 8:22 to 31. Father with His wisdom created a beautiful earth and is in controll.(17) is man is stupit make false religions and playing church. They didn't read the word and learned one verse a week and chase after an antichrist and were decieved.(18) only the good are left.

This is a wonderful example of the love of the Almighty God and his Son Jesus Christ, the power of the resurrection gives hope. Romans 6:23 states "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." Since we are all born in sin due to Adam and Eve's disobedience to God, we all must die, but Jesus tells us there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, a second chance to learn about our Almighty God and His loving Son, Jesus. We have the power of free will a wonderful gift to either be obedient to Gods commands and principles or as Adam and Eve did, continue to be disobedient to God's law and God's new covenant put in place by Jesus Christ. When Christ comes with his mighty angels and defeats Satan and his demons at Armageddon; the wicked will also be destroyed never to rise again and we can all see the prophecy of Psalm 37:9-11; 21-22; 28-29; Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:18; Revelation 4:5 will be realized because all the wicked will be destroyed from the face of the earth and His will will have been done on earth as in Heaven. The great crowd of which no man would be able to number of all tribes, nations, peoples and tongues will be living in peace, harmony and unity, throughout paradise earth under Almighty God's theocratic government - His Heavenly Kingdom. Gods name Jehovah will be vindicated; his Son rules as King of Jehovah's Kingdom with his 144,000 co-rulers as mentioned at Rev. 20:6: “Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.” The scripture at Revelation 20:6 indicates two classes: the rulers, and those ruled. Regardless of the class to which you hope to belong, obedience and faithfulness toward the truth are constant requirements. The prospective members of the royal priesthood need to keep their vision clear and their hope bright, and completely do the will of God. Those hoping for everlasting life on earth in the theocratic new world are eager to learn of the requirements and faithfulness of the royal body of priests that is to rule for the thousand years, and learn to be faithful. Those of the anointed are happy to learn of Jehovah’s purpose to bless and give life to millions of humans. So also those who look forward to living on earth forever will be happy to know about the royal priesthood, to which they will be subject.
3 Jehovah’s purpose to have a kingdom of priests was expressed to his typical people Israel at Mount Sinai. Moses was inspired to inform them: “Now if you will strictly obey my voice and will indeed keep my covenant, then you will certainly become my special property out of all other peoples, because the whole earth belongs to me. And you yourselves will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” ( Ex. 19:5, 6, NW) Israel was to be a sacred kingdom under Jehovah, a real theocracy, a royal nation, living under the rules and rites of the Most High. The word “kingdom” as used in this verse has the meaning of royalty, dynasty, sovereignty. It meant that Jehovah purposed a royal, priestly race, a dynasty of priests, each member having the qualifications and attributes of kings and priests. Typically Israel was the kingdom of Jehovah, but they were unfaithful and disobedient. Later, when Jehovah sent his Son, Christ Jesus, the Kingdom heir, to them, they rejected him, the Stone of Zion. This typical house of Israel had lost sight of the purpose of Jehovah, and was building in opposition to God’s will. Jesus said to them: “‘The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone. From Jehovah this has come to pass and it is marvelous in our eyes.’ This is why I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.”— Matt. 21:42, 43. THIS IS GOOD NEWS TO THE NATIONS (GENTILES) Jehovah’s rejection of the nation of Israel and taking the Kingdom from them opened the door for people of the nations (Gentiles) to have the great privilege of becoming a part of the priestly nation. Cornelius of the uncircumcised Gentiles was the first, and Peter said when visiting him: “‘You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to join himself to or approach a man of another race; and yet God has shown me I should call no man defiled or unclean.’ . . . ‘For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.’” ( Acts 10:28-35) Paul was commissioned to go to the nations, as Jesus said of him: “This man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel.” Again, to the Jews, “Paul and Barnabas said: ‘It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you. Since you are thrusting it away from you and do not judge yourselves worthy of everlasting life, look! we turn to the nations. In fact, Jehovah has laid commandment upon us in these words, “I have appointed you as a light of nations, for you to be a salvation to the most distant part of the earth.”’”— Acts 9:15; 13:46, 47.

The TRUTH shall set you FREE.

God is explaining something to us so we will seek out the truth. It takes time to understand and here God is telling us we have no knowledge of these things. So, we have to think. We have to read the full word and put it all together the way it was and is. If you think 7000 years as the unlearned dothen your learning of the Word of the LORD will never be clear. you then will be without the truth. But if you seek the 3 earth ages you will find the Word all fits together correctly and truth then brings you understanding. Earth beautiful in Isaiah 45:18. Katabole or war satans pride Ezekiel 18. Stold a third of Gods children Revelation 12. Distruction of first earth age Jeremiah 4: 20 & on. Job 38,39,40, things that where and things we can't remember. But we know from Proverbs 8 God created a beautiful home on earth and in Job 38:7 the whole family was with God. The dinosuars were on earth. Tell you something. God has a flying ship spoken of in Ezekiel chapter one. I call it whirlwind because almost everytime the word whirlwind is used it means flying ship.

When reading the 19th verse we ss God saying He Is telling us the truth. He declares things right! Look up to 18th verse and see the truth. God created a beautiful planet earth. This will take you on a trip to see what happen. If you seek. To the earth age being distroyed in Jeremiah 4:22 to understanding 2nd Peter 3. To the death sentence of satan in Ezekiel 28 and to the stealing of the stars in Revelation 12. To Job 38:7 and Proverbs 8. To learning the 4th word in the 2nd verse of Genesis "was" is "become" and you will see that when God speaks of knowing men as Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah and Jacob He loved and esau hated was because we were all here before.

A day with the LORD is 1000 years. The first part you are reading is restoring,rejuvenation of a distruction of the planet in Jeremiah 4:22 and on to about 27or so. Wasted wilderness. God created a beautifull planet Isaiah 45:18. You have to read the full word to understand. Satans attempted overthrow and the thrid of the children sown by him in the Parable of the sower Matt. 13:36 and on. We are Gods Stars that love Him and satans are satans wicked tares. They believe in half monkey men that to have evolution which would have to be continuest well, they have them half money men hidden some place cause I can't see their proff. Satan stold a third of Gods stars in Revelation 12. Now er all are Replenished. Yoour older than you think. 2nd peter 3:5 world of old or was. The 4th Word in Gen.1:2 was is become # 1961 in strong`s. The tree of good that turned evil that beguiled Eve that, had sex in the fig grove and again meaning continued in labor and had two unidentical twins, one Adams but Cain was of the devil. Jesus is the tree of life and satan is the tree of good and evil that old devil.

God knew us all when we shouted for joy when He created the earth in Isaiah 45:18, Proverbs 8:31,Job38:7 - 2nd Peter 3 and many translated "Foundations" of the meaning is katabole in the New Testament which was an attempted overthrow by Lucifer and instead of God destroying a third of His children that follow satan the dragon Our God decided to destroy that earth age and sunk the earth in water and we were replenish in the flesh. We were all pretty stupit and even thoe we had lived millions of years we didn't know what Family really was or meant.
Jeremiah launched forth and as we see to all the Nations, in other words a Prophet to the world until the fig tree generation,the last one, jeremiah must of been a pretty good person in the first earth age because God ordained him when he was in his mothers womb. In this writting that lasted 40 years he is 21 years old at the start and this Book is written to the House of Judah. We see God speaks of the 10 tribes that had been taken captive 200 years before and at this time they had already scattered over the mountains. In this writting God is talking History at the time and when speaking of the House of Isreal He is speaking future. So what I see is when I was reading chapter 8 and its speaking of antichrist coming from the north that the preachers that were supposed to warn us were playing church and the people coming out are saying, my temple,my temple, my temple says this and my church says that and the people never read the Word of God to know what He says so they can receive blessing. I notice that God sees these as houses or churches that don't teach the full word of God so that the people know the full truth of the Book that these one verse charlie churches are dung. I`ll have to read on but I think verse 7:23 is something we should think hard on. Study the word and don't trust any man in a building with your life.

Joe`s. Then what do you do about the rest of the scriptures as @ Peter 3:5 to 7 where its speaks of the world that was and the world of old and when looking up words you find out there are going to be three earth age`s and this one is in the middle. Also then we would have to change Jeremiah 4:23 to 26 or take it out where we all got stupit and all the cities gone and man was taken off the earth and animals/birds gone. Then we best go to Isaiah 45:18 and change how GOD created a beautiful earth in the beginning. Oh! We need to change that fourth word was "hayah" because if you look up code #1961 for was it turns out the earth became without form and void. Proverbs 8:22 to the end would have to be changed where God tells us He had wisdom and created a wonderfull place for His children to live and Him and his wisdom and all the children were shouting for joy because of it was beautiful. We need to go back to Job and make changes with 38:7 where it says the complete family was there and it was beautiful. We would have to go to the New Testamant and change the word "foundation" all when speaking of the creation and what took place in the mysteries of God when you look up the word it is katabole and means cast down overthrow and fits all together with Ezekiel 28 where pride got to satan and he tried to steal Gods throne. Plus we would need to go to Revelation and take out verse 4 where satan as the dragon took a third of God`s children. Oh, yeah! Need to take out Matt 13 where it explains in verse 36 to 44 that satan stold children and cast them to the earth and they are tares. I think we should just keep the scriptures God gave us they all work together just right and that onee word replenish, well, it means just what it means that this is our second time on this planet earth. I say that because God said Jacob I loved and Esau I hated and to say something like that God had to live and knew Esau. Just as when you read Jeremiah and ordained Jeremiah in the first earth age and tells us that He,God knew jeremiah before he put him in his Mothers womb. Let's just study hard and learn the word and not keep one word plenish and toss all the rest of the scriptures out.

I believe this was millions of years ago and God created a beautiful earth as He said in Isaiah 45:18. At that time we were with Him as its spoken of in Proverbs 8:31 and again the whole family was mentioned in Job 38:7.

Peter writes to stir our pure minds and that we be sincer and think about what these Prophets,Apostles have told us.in the last days the scoffers, are coming chasing after their own lusts. Trouble makers and mockers. Them that don't believe and don't believe Jesus will return and things are just like they think & say it has been the same and nothing has changed ever since the very beginning the first world age. Peter is gona tell us what they are ignorant about. But by the Word of God the heavens were of old and there was and old earth ( Isaiah 45:18,and if you read 19 you will see God tells you to seek,nothing hidden, God created earth beautifull ) also of this earth that is now (peter is saying, that is standing out of the water and in the water. This earth now is new earth age. Now in 6 he tells us,whereby the world that then was,being overflowed with water in Jeremiah 4 it was brought to a wasted wilderness Perished. Peter is going to say something so listen, 7. But the heavens and the earth, which are now that I`m standing on and pointing down at the dirt so you will know this earth, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of of judgment and perdition(death,or die.) of ungodly men. It goes on to tell us 1000 years is a Day. And that "elements" that will be burned off earth is evil "rudiments". All evil. Be good and love the LORD and don't have anything laying around that he don't like. He flooded the Earth once at the katabole and then again when He targeted the geber and any half flesh half fallen angels at the 2nd flood of Noah. We keep this earth and God rejuvenates it and it took 7000 years and we were replenished in the flesh and satan and his bunch left their first estate,heaven, and tried to distroy Gods Plan. But when satan and his kenites killed Christ,God with us, God put them in chains and satans spirit can only cause problems. Anyway if you look up most of the "foundations" in the New Testamant you will see it means "cast down, overthrow, katabole. The Companion Bible has Appendix 146 that puts it all out there for us.

John tells us in His Gospel chapter 1:1 thru 4. The Word is God and He created all. So, God is Christ Jesus. Yahveh came and died on the Cross and thru the name of Jesus we have credentials if we believe, ( Isaiah 45:21God is Our Saviour )He gave up His life for our sins, we ask in the name of Jesus. God said it to us! Check Proverbs 8:31 at creation. But the Book of Job where got tell of creation in chapter 38 in verse 7 includes every soul created. In Genesis the first age was destroyed, well, sunk in water and washed real good. In that flood of Jeremiah. Water gone and no Noah or family. In Noah`s flood the water receeded. It took time. As we read 2 Peter 3:5 tells us of the world of old and in 6 tells us completely flooded and we read of God getting mad in Jeremiah 4:22. Then Peter says in 7. This world I'm standing on now is for fire. God burns all the evil off it. So, when He said that He was telling us we were gona look exactly as we do, then and now. REPLENISH! 2nd time around.God wouldn't ask us to do something unless He Himself wouldn't do it.he loves us.

Isaiah 45:18 tells u truth of creation. Genesis 1:2 forth wod " was" Hayah is became without form. Jeremiah 4:22 and down falls the cities no Noah in that flood. We were Re-plinished. 2 Peter 3:5 or 15 that world that was sunked in water this one I'm standing on is for fire. God`s gona fry evil when He returns. Not a Lamb this time. So watch out satan comes as. A wolf in sheep clothing.

Treasures of darkness is the word of Christ and Hidden riches is the Holy Spirit

Wonderful...to the point....nothing confusing about it. I am made joyous by it's strength.
I Praise the will of YAHWEH...Amen

I'm older than my son and younger than my Father. Pity you can't here truth. Is.9:6 for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful,Counsellor,The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. NOW, John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word WAS God. Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye,and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is NO God else beside me; a just God and A Saviour; there is none beside Me. And I say, JESUS is LORD! Through His Name of Jesus gives me His acceptance,my credentials, because I believe that My God Loved me and died for my sins for me on that Cross and rent the veil of the room of the Holy Room so that I, through His name of Jesus, can speak directly to Him, my Father. As it is written in ( Matthew 27:51) now, and forever I say, I need no man to show me the way, if I need to be shown I will ask my Father through Jesus Name too show me the Way. But hey, if you can help me understand more by your comments I like to listen. Some of the ones I read are really good and it keeps me learning and looking through the Word.

Genesis 1:31 was the end of the 6th day. God populated the earth with the various race`s and that included white,black,brown,all. On the 7th day He created Adam and Eve for the blood line that Christ would come through. If you also look at the word "life" in verse Genesis 1:20 the word can be translated to Souls and we know the orient has a beginning ahead of the rest of the world. Cain just took a wife outside the garden. We know who the tree of life is. God said let us make man in Our image after our likeness,He didn't leave Himself out. Do you think God would of sent us down here if He wouldn't come down Himself OUR? Who was there? His sons of course,as it is written in Hebrew,it`s "Elohim" that means God and His Children. Jesus said when you have seen the son you have seen the Father. In Isaiah 45:18 He created a beautiful earth for us in spiritual bodies. We were happy! Then in Revelation 12:4 satan stole a third of God`s children, stars. Revelation 12 is an outline of the Bible. Ezekiel 28 tells us satans pride took over in him and he tryed to steal the mercy seat,Throne of God. God got mad and in Jeremiah 4:22 and on tells us of the first flood. No Noah`s boat and family,no bird or twig left to flay and the waters in that flood didn't receed, it was Water Gone! That's why in 2nd Peter 3:5 to 7. In 6th that world that was overflowed with water Perished. But Peter says, this earth I'm standing on is kept in store,reserve unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The 4th word in Genesis says "was" but its hayah#1961 in the Exhusted Strong`s Concordance and can only be translated in the Hebrew to "become" so it became without form and void, where as in Isaiah 45:18 God establish the earth and created Not in vain He formed it to be inhabited. The word in Genesis 1:28 REPLENISH.! 2nd time around. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Love JESUS and you will make it. God bless you all that love our God and Saviour. Oh! Check Isaiah 45:21. Have a nice day.

In Isaiah 45: 18 we see what God says about how He created the Earth. He said He Established it, that sounds perfect to me and then you read, He created it NOT in vain, He forned it to be inhabited. What! Filled it with children. Oh! 19 is the kicker, this verse kind of makes me feel,oh, like He put it here so we`d know something, if we seek. He didn't hide the truth in a dark place so we could find it. It`s all right here,just look. He`s a righteous God and a Great Father. Jacob is all 12 tribes,it`s like saying,everyone. And look at 45:21 ...and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; ther is none beside me. When I read this, none beside me,and God is the Saviour, I think of Jesus sittin down on His Throne and looking at His Right Hand because He sits at the right hand of God. Who`s your Father! I had to say that cause I love Jesus. Now in 2nd Peter 3:5 to 3:7 talks about the world that was that Perished but the Earth he`s standing on is kept in store,reserved unto fire untill the day of Judgement. I like this first chapter where God`s shekinah Glory or His light in verse 11 brings forth grass,herb yielding seed,fruit tress, and the sun and the moon were created later. Well, talk later. Have a nice day.
