WHAT IF?
 

This is for Israel.

Please send it to whomever you know.

Someone told me that in the book of Isaiah there is a distinct break in tone and message between chapters thirty-nine and forty.  He also pointed out that book number 39 of our Bible is Malachi and book number 40 is Matthew, so, the break between chapters 39 and 40 of Isaiah lines up with the break between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Together with the fact that Isaiah has 66 chapters and our Bible has 66 books, this all seemed significant to me. 

Perhaps you already knew these things.  I didn’t, but God gave me something to think about as a ‘leap-frog’ idea.  It was a question in my mind.

What if?  What if, in addition to the above correlation, each book of our Bible was somehow connected to the individual chapters of Isaiah?  Wouldn’t that be consistent with the alignment at the 39/40 chapter point?  Could it be that Isaiah was more of a key to the Bible than we know?  What if the 39th chapter of Isaiah was somehow connected to the book of Malachi?  What if the first chapter of Isaiah was somehow connected to the book of Genesis?  What if the 17th chapter of Isaiah could be shown to be connected to the book of Esther?  That would certainly put to rest that old lie that the book of Esther isn’t really supposed to be part of the Bible.

God showed me.

I’m a Bible-believing Christian, so God has used both Testaments to show me that there is in fact a connection between each chapter of Isaiah and the corresponding (in number) book of the Bible.  He started right off with the book of Revelation.  I had a pretty good working knowledge of Revelation, so, that may be why He began there.  I opened Isaiah’s last chapter and began to read the first verse.  It hit me right between the eyes.

“Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne”           (Isaiah 66:1a)

Chapter four of Revelation; the throne room of God.  I kept reading.

“A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.”          (Isaiah 66:6)

Compare verse six with Revelation 16:1.
 

“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”   (Rev. 16:1)

The next verse wowed me.

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.”          (Isaiah 66:7)

For me, the following was probably the most familiar verse in the book of Revelation.

“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”            (Revelation 12:5)

I didn’t pick up the next one for two months because I took of running through all the chapters of Isaiah and all the books of our Bible, but when I came back to visit chapter 66 again, I couldn’t believe that I had overlook this blatant connection to the book of Revelation.

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.”(Isaiah 66:22)

What had I read in the book of Revelation?

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”   (Revelation 21:1)

Had the Ruach Ha Koddesh written something into the last chapter of Isaiah that only He knew would be connected to what He was going to write into the book of Revelation almost 700 years later?  Oh, yeah.  He absolutely did.

I’m not going to take time for any more because God has laid it on my heart to get this off to you.  Let me just say that at this point He has shown me the connections He wrote in 46 of the chapter of Isaiah.  I expect that He will show me the rest shortly.  I think He is urgent.

If a Jew reads this, please consider that the chapters of Isaiah, (chapters one through 39) align with the books of your scripture (we call it the Old Testament).  But, the Ruach Ha Koddesh (Holy Spirit for all us Christians) wrote 66 chapters in Isaiah (and don’t anyone try to tell me that those chapter divisions in Isaiah were not inspired), and 66 is greater than 39 by the number of 27.  There are 27 more books where Isaiah’s words connect to what the Holy Spirit wrote.  You will want to see what He was saying in those books too.

Now, for anyone who reads this, if you write and ask for it, I will e-mail you what I have found so far.  It’s not publishing grade, it’s just what God has shown me, written down in my own hand.  Here’s my e-mail.  Randy10@ureach.com.
 

May God always bless your reading of His Word.
