Isaiah 65:1-The Messiah Would Be Revealed to a People Who Were Not Seeking Him Page 1 of 4 Prophecies of Isaiah 65 Isaiah 30:8 – Isaiah is to write the prophecies in a book. Isaiah 65:1-The Messiah would be revealed to a people who were not seeking Him. “I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.” Romans 10:18-20 “But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.” Ephesians 2:12-13 “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Isaiah 65:2-The Messiah would be rejected by His own (Jews). “I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;” Romans 10:20-21 “But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.” John 1:10-11 “ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” *The Sunday School lesson outlines and video presentations that I am doing in class are on my web page: Wells Bible Study www.wellsbiblestudy.com Page 2 of 4 Isaiah 65:9 The Messiah would be of the tribe of Judah. “And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.” Matthew 2:6 “And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.” Hebrews 7:14 “For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.” Revelation 5:5 “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Isaiah 65:17 God will create new heavens and a new earth. “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” 2 Peter 3:13 “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” Revelation 21:1-5 “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. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. *The Sunday School lesson outlines and video presentations that I am doing in class are on my web page: Wells Bible Study www.wellsbiblestudy.com Page 3 of 4 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Isaiah 65:18-19 God will restore Jerusalem. “But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.” Isaiah 65:20 God will extend the life span of mankind during the 1,000 years reign of Chirst. “There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.” Isaiah 65:21-23 Life during the 1,000 years reign of Christ. “And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.” Isaiah 65:24 The Messiah will be here during the 1,000 years reign of Christ. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isaiah 65:25 The animal kingdom will be at peace during 1,000 years reign of Christ. “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.” *The Sunday School lesson outlines and video presentations that I am doing in class are on my web page: Wells Bible Study www.wellsbiblestudy.com Page 4 of 4 *The Sunday School lesson outlines and video presentations that I am doing in class are on my web page: Wells Bible Study www.wellsbiblestudy.com.

However, scholarship scarcely has treated the theme of νόμος, the Νόμος is .תורה Septuagintal word Luke uses as a translation of the Hebrew word mentioned four times in the Presentation narrative; it also is a word in Septuagintal Isaiah to which the metaphor of light in Luke 2:32 alludes. In 2:22-32—a pivotal piece within Luke-Acts—νόμος relates to several themes, including ones David Pao discusses in his study on Isaiah’s portrayal of Israel’s restoration, appropriated by Luke. My dissertation investigates, for the first time, the Septuagintal Isaian use of νόμος in this pericope. My thesis is that Luke’s use of νόμος in the Presentation pericope highlight’s Jesus’ identity as the Messiah who will restore and fulfill Israel.

Here I am!’ to a nation that did not invoke my name. 2 I spread out my hands all day long to my rebellious people, who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable and who did what they desired. 3 These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars. 4 They sit among the tombs and keep watch all night long. They eat pork and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans. 5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself! Don’t get near me, for I am holier than you!’ These people are like smoke in my nostrils, like a fire that keeps burning all day long. 6 Look, I have decreed: I will not keep silent, but will pay them back; I will pay them back exactly what they deserve, 7 for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,” says the Lord. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and offended me on the hills, I will punish them in full measure.” 8 This is what the Lord says: “When juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes, someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ So I will do for the sake of my servants— I will not destroy everyone.

  • God Restores the One True God Promises to Restore His Creation for His People Through Faith in His Son
    SESSION 13 13 God Restores The one true God promises to restore His creation for His people through faith in His Son. ISAIAH 65:17-25 Life’s challenges can cause us to lose hope. If we are not careful, we can begin to believe all is lost and our best days are behind us. When that happens, the present becomes darker and we lose sight of the lessons we can learn. The Bible teaches that the future should impact how believers live in the present. Isaiah revealed to his audience glimpses of what God would do in the future so that they might be encouraged to be faithful as they wait on Him. Hope in the future gives strength in the present. How does having hope for a greater future give people strength in the present? 118118 Suggested Use | Week of November 29 © 2020 LifeWay Christian Resources UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT ISAIAH 61:1–66:24 In Isaiah 61, the prophet told of the appearing of the Messiah. In His first coming, He came to save His people. Here, Isaiah described how the Messiah would come a second time to vindicate His people. Their shame would be replaced with honor and blessing, and they would be ministers of God as they rejoiced in His salvation and righteousness. Jesus quoted Isaiah 61:1-2 in the synagogue and proclaimed that He was the fulfillment of this prophecy. (See Luke 4:21.) Isaiah 62 focuses attention on Jerusalem. Even though sin had separated God and His people in Jerusalem, there would come a time when God fully restored their relationship.

Yates IMOTHY POLK HAS NOTED, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as T the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet.2 In fact the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be for- mulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this article is to explore how intertextual con- nections to other portions of the Bible inform a deeper understand- ing of the portrayal of Jeremiah the prophet and his theological significance in the book of Jeremiah.

  • Praise“ Is Found Well Over 200 Times in the Old and the New Testament
    All Creation Testifies of God’s Greatness In the beginning God… Genesis 1:1 Last week we learned that the word “praise“ is found well over 200 times in the Old and the New Testament. Songs of praise are prevalent throughout the Book of Psalms and songwriters of yesteryears and today provide lyrics through which worshippers have lifted voices to honor and extol the love and wonders of Almighty God. Whether the praise emanates from a psalm, a traditional hymn, or contemporary Gospel, the message of praise is to the only wise God who loves, protects, and provides for all His creation. Yet praise extends beyond songs or hymns. When used as a noun, praise expresses a favorable judgment of or glorifies (a god or saint) especially by the acknowledgment of perfections (The 2019 online 2019 Merriam-Webster dictionary). As a noun the same dictionary defines praise as an expression of approval, commendation, worship, value, or merit. All Nature Praises God At this very moment and into eternity, God is praised! Throughout all creation, nature displays the wonders of God and each element of creation praises God in its unique way. In heaven, God is continually worshiped as angels and seraphim in heaven never stop glorifying Him (Psalm 103:20; Isaiah 2—3; Luke 2:14; 15:10; Hebrews 1:6). Throughout this lesson, the words nature and creation will be used interchangeably. Also, creation includes more than just nature (such as land, sea, plants, animals, and weather). The word creation also includes spiritual forces which are invisible to us, while nature speaks of what we can see.

  • Isaiah 65:17-25 – “An Ice Cream Cone & Being Blessed by the LORD” by Pastor Kevin Wattles Preached at Grace Evangelica
    Isaiah 65:17-25 – “An Ice Cream Cone & Being Blessed by the LORD” by Pastor Kevin Wattles preached at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church Falls Church, Virginia Saints Triumphant Sunday, November 14, 2010 This morning’s message is based on the Old Testament reading for today—Isaiah 65:17-25. You listened as Vicar Ewings read it some minutes ago. If you had to teach Isaiah 65:17-25 to children, what would you say? As the children of Grace Lutheran School have sung at our worship service this morning…there are, obviously, a number of children with us in worship! If you were in my shoes this morning, how would you communicate to them the message of our Old Testament lesson? After all, Jesus did say, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). And Jesus said, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). So…if you were in my shoes this morning, what would you say? How would you communicate the message of Isaiah 65 to the children who are with us today…as well as to all the adults who are here? I’m going to take some direction from the playbook of Jesus this morning and tell a story. Jesus told a lot of stories during his ministry on earth because he found story-telling (parable-telling, we may also call it) to be an effective way to teach people what he was trying to teach them.

  • Ezekiel/Revelation Part 12
    1 graceWORKS ! GOING DEEPER The Papou Study Bible is a daily study provided by me to help folks explore the depth and joy of the “conneXion” life of God. It’s my personal study, and is not intended as a doctrinal statement or statement of any church or denomination or congregation. It’s also my belief that “grace” works, and the servant of God should always want to go deeper. Multi- tasking as usual, I’m also calling this the “Papou Study Bible.” I’m writing it as if I were speaking to my girls who love me and any descendant they have that love their Papou too. And to anyone who wants to consider me a spiritual Dad or “Papou.” I want them to be able to study the Bible with Papou (grandpa in Greek) after I’m gone---and if they don’t, I’ll haunt them. The Scriptures say it’s noble to “search the Scriptures daily” to verify truth like the ancient Bereans did (Acts 17:11). My folks came from Berea. My incredible Dad (and your grandfather and great grandfather, guys), Vasil Charles Valekis taught me to do this like he did---every day until I die. He taught me and everyone I know to go to church no matter what and to put God first. While Mama (Maria Pagona Stratakis Valekis) never really did this, she made sure we listened to Daddy on this one. She would have hit us with a spatula or frying pan or worse if we didn’t. This is a simple sharing my “daily search.” And I’d like to think it is a continuation of God’s life through my Dad through me.
