Isaiah 34-36 Judgment on the Nations 34 Draw near, O nations, to hear,    and give attention, O peoples!Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;    the world, and all that comes from it.2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,    and furious against all their host;    he has devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.3 Their slain shall be cast out,    and the…

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1-6 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and its teaching on inspiration and the Bible’s being God-breathed tell us that Scripture is useful for teaching and for reproof, demonstrating that all believers should earnestly desire…

Isaiah 32-33 A King Will Reign in Righteousness 32 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,    and princes will rule in justice.2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,    a shelter from the storm,like streams of water in a dry place,    like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.3 Then the eyes of those who see…

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so, we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 1 John 3:1-10 All those who have been born of God will necessarily resemble Christ with respect to His righteousness.…

Isaiah 28-29 Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem 28 Ah, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,    and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,    which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong;    like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,    he…
