Isaiah 46
|
|
| 46:1
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon
the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary
beast. |
|
| 46:2
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but
themselves are gone into captivity. |
|
| 46:3
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of
Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the
womb: |
|
| 46:4
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:
I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. |
|
| 46:5
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may
be like? |
|
| 46:6
They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire
a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. |
|
| 46:7
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place,
and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto
him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. |
|
| 46:8
Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye
transgressors. |
|
| 46:9
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and
there is none like me, |
God says that he alone is God, and there is no
one else like him. (Not even Jesus or the Holy Ghost?)
How many gods are there?
|
| 46:10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things
that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my
pleasure: |
 (46:10-11) "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."
Unlike the god of the process theologians, the God of Isaiah is in full control of his creation;
he has pre-ordained everything.
|
| 46:11
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel
from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I
have purposed it, I will also do it.
|
| 46:12
Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: |
|
| 46:13
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation
shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
