Isaiah 35 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Isaiah’s choice of words can be frightening. Does the saint fall in the category of “the desert and patched land”? Is he talking about a point in time or a general description of the condition of the remnant? Of course, the good news is that they will see the glory ofContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 35 Commentary”

Isaiah 34 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com The LORD is angry with all the nations; He has condemned them to destruction – the mountains will be red with blood. This is Isaiah’s version of Romans 3 verse 23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And as usual, Isaiah has a unique way ofContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 34 Commentary”

Isaiah 33 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Not all of Isaiah’s visions were a cent for tomorrow’s shopping. Many of them could be picked up and applied immediately in Isaiah’s own times. The wicked nations that destroyed others were still standing tall and hot in their wickedness. They betrayed others and didn’t have anything to fear. The saintContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 33 Commentary”

Isaiah 32 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com The New Testament talks about saints ruling with Christ. Of course, it is a throwback to pre-Genesis 3 days – when men and women ruled. Remember the original mandate in the garden of peace and tranquility – the triad: Increase, prosper, and rule. Verse 1 explains the same thing but withContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 32 Commentary”

Isaiah 31 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Israel has a very interesting and complicated relationship with Egypt. Abraham was in Egypt for relief and so was his son Isaac. The LORD sent Joseph to Egypt for the purpose of saving the world from starvation. Jacob spent his last years in Egypt under the care of Joseph. The nationContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 31 Commentary”

Isaiah 30 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. But not for Jacob! He has all the solutions in the world! Of course, none of them works. So the prophet mocks him about his wasted effort. Probably we can start from there. The mention of dartingContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 30 Commentary”

Isaiah 29 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com Jerusalem will be attacked but her attackers will eventually be destroyed. Is this information the sealed scroll that Isaiah is talking about? Yes, perhaps. But there is more for the people to understand. These people worship the LORD in vain; their teachings are merely human rules. There are consequences for thisContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 29 Commentary”

Isaiah 28 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com The first section deals with Israel’s drunken leaders. It reflects poor judgment, lack of direction, and general drunkenness of the mind. Nothing is normal. They are proud for nothing but the LORD will humble them with an attack from someone stronger. Judah is equally wicked. Her prophets and priests are soContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 28 Commentary”

Isaiah 27 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com The LORD promises to punish Israel’s enemies. But they can make peace with the LORD and avoid this punishment. The compassion of the LORD speaks loudest. Israel is the vineyard of the LORD. He watches over it day and night. Granted, but what about Israel’s suffering? The word discipline hasn’t beenContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 27 Commentary”

Isaiah 26 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com So central to the Christian belief system is chapter 26 that you feel you are reading one of the Pauline letters. The LORD is coming from His heavenly place to punish the people of the earth for their sins. But before that, there is the ‘little while’ until God’s anger isContinueContinue reading “Isaiah 26 Commentary”
