ISAIAH THE PROPHET.

ISAIAH – THE PROPHET.

I AM QUOTING FROM THE GOSPEL OF ST. LUKE: ABOUT YESHUA.

Luke. 4, 17-19

17. AND THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH WAS HANDED TO HIM. AND HE OPENED THE BOOK, AND FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN:

18. THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE APPOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE DOWN TRODDEN

19. TO PROCLAIM THE FAVOURABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.

WITHOUT SPLITTING HAIRS,

ISAIAH AS WE HAVE IT TO DAY, READS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT ST. LUKE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.

IF A PROPHECY DOES NOT STAND THE TEST OT TIME, THEN THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN, MUST BE DISREGARDED IF NOT BLANKED OUT.

SO HOW DO WE MAKE SOME SENSE OUT OF ALL THIS? YOU MAY FIND AN ANSWER IN THE FOLLOWING TWO BOOKS WHICH  I RECOMMEND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STUDYING THE BIBLE ON THEIR OWN LIKE I DID WHEN I SWITCHED FROM JUST SAYING A ROSARY DAILY TO REALLY READING IT IN EARNEST AND TRYING TO UNDERSTANDING ITS MEANING. THESE ARE PLAIN SIMPLE ILLUSTRATED BOOKS OF SOME 100 ODD PAGES AND HARDLY COST MUCH. I BOUGHT IT FROM St. Paul’s PUBLICATIONS FOR LESS THAN A $ OR SO, MANY YEARS AGO. THE TWO BOOKS ARE:

1. HOW TO READ THE OLD TESTAMENT. BY ETIENNE CHARPENTIER.
2. HOW TO READ THE NEW TESTAMENT. BY ETIENNE CHARPENTIER.

I SHOULD ALSO STATE THAT IN MY DAYS OF BIBLE STUDY I HAD NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. IF YOU ARE ON THE INTERNET IT WOULD ALSO HELP. THE PROBLEM IS WHERE TO BEGIN AND END THE STUDY? WELL THAT’S THE IDEA BEHIND THE LIVING TESTAMENT. YOUR ROAD MAP TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. (I.M.H.O. THESE TWO BOOKS COULD PROVIDE FOR THE BASICS SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF OUR YOUNGSTERS EXPLORING OUR FAITH IN EL-SHADDAI).

 TO RETURN BACK TO ISAIAH.

The prophet Isaiah was a point source in his time.  He spoke through several windows of time in that era when there was need for him to do so on orders from Yahweh his God.  God does not change ‘point source’ haphazardly.  All that Isaiah has said is there for us to read. But the scenario and God was not the same as of today. We have to move with the times. The sum total intelligence is moving on and not going backward to find Isaiah and Yahweh. It was A God and A people affair and that generation has long since passed away. We are these days being confronted with the people and God of today namely El-Shaddai and the problems facing our world today.

SO WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ISAIAH IF THE OLD TESTAMENT IS JUST A HISTORY BOOK FOR US?

PROPHETS OR POINT SOURCES ARE NEEDED TO GUIDE THE PEOPLE OF GOD ON THEIR JOURNEY TO HIS RULE HERE ON EARTH. IF THE VOICE OF GOD IS NOT MADE KNOWN FROM TIME TO TIME, BAD MEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LULL AND FILL IN THEIR OWN LAWS TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES OR THEIR GOVERNING BODIES. (AN OLD ADAGE COMES TO MY MIND. IF GOOD MEN DON’T COME FORWARD, THEN BAD MEN WILL RULE). THE BIBLE MUST BE READ WITH AN EYE ON TO TODAYS RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENTS. HENCE THE LIVING TESTAMENT HAS ONLY BEEN WRITTEN TO GUIDE YOU IN MEETING THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE TODAY BE IT FROM THE HEIRARCHY OR WHOEVER.

FOLLOWING IS FROM EL-SHADDAI:

IN ANSWER TO SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS AS TO HOW MANY ISAIAH”S WERE THERE? YOU CAN SAFELY STATE THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE.

PICTURE IT THIS WAY. YOU ARE MEANDERING ALONG A LONG WINDING STRETCH OF DIRT ROAD. ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THE GREENERY AROUND YOU. AS THE MONTHS PASS BY THE GREENERY TURNS TO RED AND GOLD AND MONTHS LATER TO BROWN AND C0FFEE AND THEN FURTHER  IN A FEW MONTHS TO BARE TREE TRUNKS. YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE AGED MUCH BUT THE SCENERY HAS. WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE YEARS IS A DIFFERENT STORY. YOU HAVE AGED. YOU ARE NO LONGER IN YOUR EARLY THIRTIES. THE PEOPLE YOU KNEW THEN MAY NOT RECOGNIZE YOU FROM YOUR THOUGHTS NOW THAT YOU ARE PUSHING FIFTY. FURTHERMORE YOUR IDEAS AT A LATER AGE WHERE YOU NEED THE HELP OF A CANE TO WALK? YOUR IDEAS ON LIFE MIGHT HAVE ADVANCED STILL FURTHER BECAUSE YAWEH HAS BEEN YOUR TEACHER OVER SO MANY YEARS.

SO ISAIAH IN HIS LATER YEARS MIGHT SEEM DIFFERENT TO SOME OF YOU BUT HE IS ONE AND THE SAME ISAIAH WHO WAS MENTIONED IN THE SCROLL IN THE BEGGINING.

FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW. ISAIAH PREACHED SOME 700 YEARS BEFORE THE BIRTH OF YESHUA. HE WAS ALSO POINTING TO YESHUA, THE ONE WHO WOULD ARRIVE SOME 700 YEARS LATER. THAT’S A LONG, LONG, TIME TO SOME OF YOU; HOWEVER, TO ME IT WOULD SEEM ABOUT 7 MONTHS OF YOUR TIME IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING- ONLY.

FOR THE COMING GENERATIONS:  DO NOT THINK THAT MY COMING IS A LONG WAY OFF. I MIGHT JUST DECIDE TO SHORTEN THE TIME IF I FEEL S.T.I. HAS SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED FOR ME TO DO SO. THEREFORE DON’T BE CAUGHT NAPPING. YOUR SHORT COMINGS WILL GET EXPOSED AND YOU WILL HAVE TO HIDE YOUR FACE IN SHAME. 

INCIDENTLY ISAIAH IS OF NO USE TO YOU ALL TODAY. HE WAS DEFINITELY NOT LOOKING SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD. DON’T SNITCH FROM HIS TEXT AND APPLY TO WHAT EVER YOU FANCY IS MAKING NEWS TODAY. YOU WILL BE MAKING AN AWEFUL MISTAKE. GIVEN MAN’S FREE WILL, EVEN I COULD NOT PREDICT SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD.
