Dear Doves
Did you know:
Isaiah is like a miniature
Bible. The first 39 chapters (like the 39 books of
the Old Testament) are filled with judgment upon immoral
idolatrous men. Judah has sinned; the surrounding nations
have sinned; the whole earth has sinned. Judgment must
come, for God cannot allow such blatant sin to go
unpunished forever. But the final 27 chapters (like the 27
books of the New Testament) declare a message of hope. The
Messiah is coming as a Savior and a Sovereign to bear a
cross and to wear a crown.
Some
chapters of Isaiah correlate perfectly with the
corresponding book of the Bible, e.g.:
Creation
- Isaiah 1- Genesis
Gospel
- Isaiah 40 - Matthew
New
Creation - Isaiah 66 - Revelation
...and because I like numbers and the especially the
number 153 (recorded in John 21:11, giving us a clue about
the end time harvest), I just wondered what the result of
the multiplication of 39x27 is... ...well, it's 1053..! :-)
Watch
& Pray!
Maranatha!
