Who is this prophet talking about? The other big issue coming out of Isaiah’s prophecy centres on this passage: ‘Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, so his visage was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men; so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him;...
We have to recognize that human pollution is a problem. In fact, the Bible says in Isaiah 24 that one of the things of the last days is that: the Earth lies ‘defiled’ or (the Hebrew word can also mean) ‘polluted’ under its inhabitants. And there are verses which speak about the pollution of the earth as being one of the signs of the last days. We’re seeing that, as a result of...
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Matthew 24.35 Praise the Lord! We thank you because we can meet in the name of Jesus. We thank you that you have got good things for us even though there are bad things in the world. And we thank you Lord that you have the answer and that you’re coming again soon, in power and in glory and because, no matter what...
We’re going to read from 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 12, through to chapter 2 verse 2. This word of God. Let’s just have a word of prayer. Lord, we thank you for your Word. We thank you that it is the truth. We pray Lord, that you bless the reading of your Word. We do pray also about Lynette again, pray for your Hand to heal. And we pray that you open our eyes as we hear your Word now. In...
Mitch Glaser So, we need to please God with our heart. And there’s a list of people who did that. I call them the ‘heroes of the faith’ and there’s a long list of them. Abraham takes centre stage. Abraham, I guess, had a lot of things happen to him related to faith. What would we do without Abraham? We now know that God could miraculously provide children, we know that God...
We’re looking at things that are happening in the world today in the light of Bible prophecy. Before I speak, we’re going to just start off with a word from the Bible, Psalm 2: Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,3 “Let us break Their...
One of the things which I believe in is that the Bible is a historical book. As well as being a book which tells us about God, it describes things which have happened and things which will happen; it describes God’s interventions into human affairs. These interventions happen at times when God changes, particularly, what we call the ‘changes in the dispensation’, when you have events like...
Will someone come up with a solution to this problem, offering peace and safety, bringing a guarantee such as a peace treaty? If so, would he be hailed as a great world leader? Israel Politics Let’s just come on to Israel because Israel was also mentioned in the speech which Guterres gave at the U.N General Assembly. He said, “In Israel and Palestine, cycles of violence under the occupation...
Who Was There When Jesus Died? This was my question as I watched all the pageantry surrounding the death of the Queen. The answer came back straight away – Isaiah 53 – the prophecy of the suffering of Messiah: ‘He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.’ This led me to give a talk comparing how people reacted to the death of the Queen with the death of Jesus...
Incense = Prayer and Praise and the way into the Holy of Holies
The incense spices ground together = the sufferings of Jesus
Suffering in the life of a believer
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1.14
