"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 11 July 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "The LORD in Judgment and Salvation"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 63:1-19
Today's Blog Key Verse: Isaiah 63:7 "I will mention the lovingkindness of the LORD And the praises of the LORD, According to all the LORD has bestowed upon us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies, According to the multitude of His lovingkindness."
In having listed God's conditions for peace (chapters 58-59), and by having described the nature of that peace (chapters 60-162), Isaiah now describes the consummation of that peace (chapters 63-66.) "Edom" represents all who hates Israel. "Bozrah was Edom's capital city. "Dyed garments," the color of "red" are reminiscent of Revelation 19:13: "And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God."
The red stained condition of the garments has been caused by His trampling "blood" in the "winepress" of God's judgment. The "vengeance of God is further described as a judgment so severe that they very lifeblood of the nations will be poured out on the earth. The entire passage is strikingly similar to Revelation 19, where Christ comes to "judge and make war...clothed with a vesture dipped in blood... treadeth the wines press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God." The flowing of the blood is similar to the description in Revelation 14:20.
From verses 7-19 and into chapter 64, contain a prayer of "thanksgiving," "confession," and "intercession." "I will mention" can be translated, "I will celebrate." "Goodness" refers to God's beneficent goodness, and "mercies" refers to His sympathizing tenderness. "the angel of His presence" refers to the Presence of the Lord Himself (Exodus 33:14). The reference to the "Holy Spirit" indicates His activity and ministry on behalf of Old Testament believers.
Today's Biblical Truth: Just a godly parents expect godly children, so God Himself expects us to be His godly children."
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusing to denounce Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior, and for his lawyer who has been sentence to 9 years in prison fro defending in the Iranian Court. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
