The Glory of God

inIsaiah 1-26

‘Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18

Hear, O heavens, and earth: for the Lord says, I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against me.Isaiah 1:2

‘You are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.’ Psalm 82:6

The greatest honor in the universe, made in the image of the Almighty Creator, Maker of heaven and earth.

The majesty and splendor of creation is His lavish invitation for all to seek Him and receive His gifts of love.

‘They have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.’ Jeremiah 17:3

‘I will purely cleanse away what is worthless in you and restore as you were at first (made in the image of God.’ Genesis 1:27)

‘Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.’ John 15:3

‘The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.’ John 6:63

‘In the last days the mountain of the Lord's house will be established in the top of the mountains and all nations will flow unto it.

Many people will say, Come, and let’s go up the mountain to the house of God, and He will teach His ways, and we will walk in His paths.

He will judge among the nations and rebuke many people: and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks and won’t learn war anymore.

Enter into the rock and hide in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the Glory of His majesty.

Mankind will be humbled whose doings are against the Lord, who rebel against ‘seeing His Glory.’ Isaiah 3:8

‘The Lord alone will be exalted in that day.’

Isaiah 2:10, 11

‘The Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be excellent and beautiful.

The Lord will create ‘on every dwelling a cloud by day, and the brightness of fire by night: for on all the Glory will be a defense.’ Isaiah 4:5

‘I will be a wall of fire surrounding her and will be the Glory in the midst of her.’ Zechariah 2:5

My well Beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: He fenced it, and cleared it, and planted it with the choicest vine,

He built a tower and made a winepress. He watched that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth poison berries.

My people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge:

The eyes of the mighty and lofty will be humbled.

But the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy will be sanctified in righteousness. Isaiah 5:15,16

The One who never did one wrong thing, ever. But made everything beautiful and wonderful, and is restoring it perfectly, never to be ruined again.

Those that call evil good, and good evil, and dark light, and bitter, sweet, and pain pleasure, bring on themselves cries of grief.

The flame consumes the chaff, for they despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, and the hem of His robe filled the temple.

Seraphims (awesome six-winged angels of light) hover above His throne, saying, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.

Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, let him be your dread.

And He will be a sanctuary; For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government will be on His shoulder:

and His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, to establish it with judgment and justice from now on to ages without end.

Isaiah 9:6, 7

Disasters come so they will set their hearts on the Lord, the Holy One in truth.

A rod will come out of the stem of Jesse (David), and a Branch will grow out of his roots (Jesus):

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

He will reign in righteousness and faithfulness.

The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the calf with the young lion, and a little child will lead them.

Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

The nations will seek Him and His rest will be glorious.

The Lord is our strength, our song; with joy we will draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Show how exalted He is in His excellent doings.

I will punish the world for their evil and lay low their pride.

The Lord will give us rest from our sorrow, and hard bondage.

The whole earth is at rest and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

From the farthest part of the earth we hear songs: glory to the righteous

O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You I will praise Your name; for thou have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

Isaiah 25:1

And in this mountain the Lord will make to all people a feast of fat things, of wines well refined.

He will swallow up death in victory and will wipe away tears from all faces.

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusts in You.

In the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.

Lord, You will ordain peace for us You also have worked all our works in us.

Your dead men will live, together with my dead body they will rise. Awake and sing, for the earth will cast out her dead. Isaiah 26:19

‘The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear will live.’ John 5:25

Not our earthly life but His heavenly one.

‘Who forgives all our sins; who heals all our diseases; who crowns us with His love:’ Psalm 103:2-5

A love so deep that He sent His infinitely precious Son to ‘die in our place for our every sin on the cross making us holy as He is.,’

Holy, harmless undefiled, separate from sinners, higher than the heavens, giving us that perfect life in place of our sinful one.

‘I in them and You in Me that they become One in us.’ John 17:23

Filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19

Isaiah ii ch 28-51

In that day sing to her, A vineyard of red wine. I, the Lord guard it; I water it every moment: so none hurt it, I will guard it night and day.

All against Me in battle, I will burn them together: or let them take hold of My strength and make peace with Me. I will cause them to blossom and bud and fill the world with fruit.

In that day many outcasts from the nations will come worship the Lord in the holy mountain.

The crown of pride will be cast down and trampled. And the Lord will be our crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty. I lay in Zion a foundation a stone, a precious corner Stone, a sure foundation: he that believes will not hurry.

Hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overflow their hiding places.

This people draw near Me with their words, but their heart far from Me, and teach about Me by the precept of men(not My words).

Behold, I will do a marvelous work among this people, and a wonder.

Then the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of darkness.

The humble will increase their joy in the Lord and rejoice in the Holy One.

For the ones who terrorize with be brought to nothing.

When My people see their children, the work of My hands, they will sanctify My name.

Those that erred in spirit will come to understanding, and they that murmured will learn doctrine.

Cries of grief to the rebellious children that take counsel but not from Me,

that cover with a covering, but not of My spirit, that add sin to sin. The ones they lean on will become their shame because they can’t profit them.

Their strength is to sit still.

Those that trust in other things will be shattered quickly like a broken pot.

For the Holy Lord says,

In returning and rest you will be saved;

in quietness and in confidence will be your strength.

So, the Lord wait that He may be gracious to you, and be exalted, to have mercy on you:

For the Lord is a God of justice: blessed are all they that wait for him.

You will weep no more: He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry, and He will answer.

You will destroy your idols and He will give rain and abundant crops. Your livestock will feed in large pastures.

On every high mountain and hill, will be rivers and streams.

He is sifting the nations with the sieve of vanity (emptiness).

The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of His arm with His anger: a devouring fire, tempest, and hailstones.

Hell is ordained of old, prepared for evil.

The breath of the Lord like a stream of brimstone kindles it. Other helpers are men and not God. Turn back to Him.

Behold, a King will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in judgment.

The palaces will be abandoned and the cities emptied until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high.

Then the wilderness will be a fruitful field. Judgment will dwell in the wilderness,

and righteousness in the fruitful field.

And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.

My people will dwell safely in quiet resting places.

Your eyes will see the king in His beauty: The glorious Lord will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams. The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us.

The desert will rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

They will see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

The king of Assyria came with vast armies terrorizing. Hezekiah took his threats before the Lord who said to that king, Didn’t you hear heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have planned for you to conquer these cities because they turned away from Me?

I know all you are doing. I will turn you back the way you came. I know your dwelling, and comings and goings, and your rage against me.

The Lord told Hezekiah, I will defend this city and save it for My own sake.

Then the angel of the Lord struck in the camp of the Assyrians 185,000. When they rose in the morning, they were all dead corpses.

Comfort all My people, says your God. Your battles are over.

Every valley will be raised, and every mountain and hill made low: the crooked will be made straight, and the rough places made smooth.

And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together.

The grass withers, the flower fades but the word of our God will stand for ever.

Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand and rule.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd and gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

Who measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and measured the heaven with the span of His hand.

He that sits on the circle of the earth and stretches out the heavens as a curtain.

Lift up your eyes and tell Me who created these and calls them all by names. By His great strength, not one fails.

Don’t you know that the everlasting God, the Lord, doesn’t get tired. There is no searching of His understanding.

He gives power to the faint;

young men get weary and fall:

but they that wait on the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will mount up with wings as eagles;

they will run and not be weary;

they will walk, and not faint.

Keep silence before me, O islands;

and let the people renew their strength:

let them come near;

Who has called forth the generations

from the beginning?

I the Lord, the first, and with the last;

I am He.

Don’t be afraid; I’m with you:

I will strengthen and help you.

Isaiah iii - ch 52-66

All that fight against you will perish.

You will scatter them as the whirlwind and rejoice

and glory in the Holy One.

Behold My servant, whom I uphold,

in whom My soul delights.

I have put my spirit on him: He will bring

justice to the nations.

He won’t fail or be discouraged; He will set

justice in the earth:

the islands will wait for His law.

The Lord who created the heavens, and stretched them out, He that spread forth the earth, and what comes out of it, and gives breath to the people on it,

I, the Lord have called you in righteousness,

and will hold your hand, and guard You,

and give you for a covenant of the people,

for a light of the nations;

To open the blind eyes, to bring out those unjustly imprisoned, and those that sit in darkness.

I am the Lord: that is My name:

and I will not give My glory to another

or praise carved images.

You are precious in My sight,

you have been honorable,

and I have loved you.

Every one that is called by My name

I have created for my glory.

I am the Lord;

and beside Me there is no Savior.

None that can deliver out of my hand, says the Lord,

your Redeemer.

I am the Lord, your Holy One, your Creator, your King who makes a way in the sea, and a path

in the mighty waters

I formed you from the womb

and will help you.

I am the first, and I am the last;

and beside me there is no God.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,

your transgressions, and sins:

return unto me; for I have redeemed you.

Sing, O heavens; for the Lord has done it. Sing, O mountains, forest, and every tree: for the Lord has redeemed and glorified Himself in us.

He that formed you from the womb,

I am the Lord that makes all things,

Who reveals liars and makes them foolish.

I will go before you

and make the crooked places straight.

I will give you the hidden treasures

riches in secret places

that you may know that I am the Lord.

That they may know from the rising of the sun,

and from the west,

I am the Lord, and there is no other.

I form the light, and create darkness:

I make peace, and create evil:

I the Lord do all these things.

Let the skies pour down righteousness:

let the earth bring salvation.

I, the Lord, have created it.

Grief to him that strives with his Maker!

Shall the clay say to the potter, What are you making? I have made the earth,

and created man on it:

My hands, have stretched out the heavens,

and all their host.

You will be saved in the Lord

with an everlasting salvation.

You will not be ashamed or confused

world without end.

I declare things that are right.

Look to me, and be saved,

all the ends of the earth: for I am God,

and there is no other.

Isaiah 45:22

In the Lord we have righteousness and strength.

They exhaust their animals

carrying their worthless idols.

But I carry you from the womb to the grave.

All that are incensed against Him

will be ashamed.

In the Lord all are justified

and will glory.

Isaiah 45:24

My hand laid the foundation of the earth

and spanned the heavens.

I call and they stand up together.

I teach you to profit

and lead you the way you should go.

If you listen to Me

your peace will be like a river

and your righteousness as the waves of the sea.

Your seed also will be as many as the sand.

The Lord caused water to flow for them out of the rock. He split the rock and waters gushed out.

Kings will see and arise,

princes will worship

because of the Lord

who is faithful, the Holy One:

and He will choose you.

You will not hunger or thirst

or be struck by the sun for

He will guide you by springs of water.

I will not forget you.

Behold, for your iniquities you sold yourselves.

Why did no one answer when I called?

Don’t I have enough power to deliver?

The Lord God gave Me

to speak a word in season to him that is weary:

He awakens Me to hear.

For the Lord God will help me;

I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Isaiah 50:7

He is near that justifies me;

whoever walks in darkness,

let him trust the Lord,

and lean on God.

The Lord will comfort the wasted places

and make her wilderness like Eden:

joy, thanksgiving, and melody.

Heaven and earth will vanish,

but My salvation will be forever.

The redeemed of the Lord will return with singing

and everlasting joy will be on their head.

Sorrow and mourning will flee away.

I am He that comforts you.

Don’t fear man who withers like the grass

and forget the Lord your Maker,

who stretched out the heavens,

and laid the foundations of the earth.

I have put My words in your mouth,

and I covered you

in the shadow of My hand.

How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of him that brings good news

of peace and salvation,

saying, Your God reigns!

All the ends of the earth will see

the salvation of our God.

Our God Reigns

The Glory of God

in Isaiah iv

ch 52-66

The Lord will go before you and be your rear guard. Isaiah 52:12

www.truthofhim.com.

My servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted

and extolled, and be very high,

who will cleanse the nations.

He is despised and rejected of men;

a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

and we didn’t honor Him.

Surely, He has borne our griefs/pains

and carried our sorrows/sicknesses.

He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities.

The punishment for our peace was on Him

and with His wounds we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;

we have turned everyone to his own way;

and the Lord has laid on Him

the iniquity of us all.

His soul was an offering for our sin;

the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

My righteous servant will justify many

for He will bear their iniquities,

make intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53

You will forget your shame

for your Maker is your husband,

the Holy One,

the God of the whole earth.

For a small moment have I forsaken you;

but with great mercies I will gather you.

In a little wrath I hid My face

but with everlasting kindness I will

have mercy on you,

says the Lord your Redeemer.

As I have sworn that the waters of Noah

will never go over the earth again;

so have I sworn that

I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.

For the mountains will depart,

and the hills be removed;

but My grace/faithful love

will not depart from you.

I will lay your stones with beautiful colors

and your foundations with sapphires.

And all your children will be taught by the Lord

and their peace will be great.

You will be established in righteousness

and you will be far from oppression and fear.

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper

and you will condemn any that rise against you.

This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord,

and their righteousness is from Me.

Everyone thirsty come to the waters,

and those with no money,

Come! buy and eat;

buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

Why spend money for that which is not food?

Hear Me diligently and you will eat what is good,

and soul delight in abundance of best things.

Hear Me and live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

Nations will run to you

for the Holy One has glorified you.

Seek the Lord;

call on Him while He is near,

for He will abundantly pardon.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

and My ways are not your ways.

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways,

and My thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,

and waters the earth, to make food,

so My word does not return to Me empty,

but does what I please.

You will go out with joy and be led with peace:

the mountains and the hills shall break into singing,

and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Instead thorns the fir tree will grow.

Instead of briers will be the myrtle tree

for a sign of the everlasting covenant.

Blessed is the man that keeps his hand

from doing any evil.

And foreigners that join themselves to the Lord.

I will bring them to My holy mountain,

and make them joyful in My house of prayer

for My house will be a house of prayer

for all people.

He that puts his trust in Me

will possess the land

and inherit My holy mountain.

For the high and lofty One

that inhabits eternity,

whose name is Holy, says,

I dwell in the high and holy place,

with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit,

to revive them.

I create the fruit of the lips;

Peace, peace to him that is far off,

and to him that is near, says the Lord;

and I will heal him. Isaiah 57

The Lord will guide you continually

and satisfy your soul

and you will be like a watered garden.

You will delight in the Lord;

and I will make you ride

on the high places of the earth.

Your iniquities have separated

between you and your God.

Arise, shine; for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

I will glorify the house of My glory.

Your gates will be open continually.

The nation and kingdom

that will not serve you will perish.

I will make the place of My feet glorious.

I will make you an eternal excellency,

a joy of many generations.

There will be no more violence

or destruction within your borders.

The sun and moon will no longer be your light,

but the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,

and your God your glory.

Your people will all be righteous.

They will inherit the land forever,

the branch of My planting,

the work of My hands,

that I may be glorified.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;

because the Lord has anointed Me

to preach this astounding news to the humble.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to set the captives free.

To comfort all that mourn.

Everlasting joy will be to them.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord.

My soul will be joyful in my God.

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness

as a bridegroom adorns himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

You will be a crown of glory

in the hand of the Lord,

and a royal diadem in the hand of your God:

for the Lord delights in you,

and your land will be married.

As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,

so your God will rejoice over you.

In all their affliction He was afflicted,

and the angel of His presence saved them:

in His love and passion He redeemed them

and carried them all the days of old.

But now, O Lord, You are our father;

we are the clay, and You our potter;

we all are the work of Your hand.

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:

and the former will not be remembered,

or come into mind.

You will joy and rejoice forever in what I create.

Before they call, I will answer;

and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

the lion will eat straw like the ox.

They won’t hurt or destroy

in all My holy mountain, says the Lord.

The heaven is My throne,

and the earth is My footstool:

where is the house that you build for Me?

Where is the place of my rest?

For all these things My hand has made.

He will appear to your joy.

For I will extend peace like a river,

and glory like a flowing stream,

for I comfort you.

The Lord will come with fire,

and with His chariots like a whirlwind:

His rebuke with flames of fire.

By fire and His sword

the Lord will plead with all flesh.

After that, they will come and see My glory.

The new heavens and the new earth I create

will remain before Me.

All flesh will come to worship before Me,

says the Lord.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth.

Psalm 96:9

The whole earth is full of His glory
