363 | what is isaiah saying in 1:10 | Is 1:10 | BradK | 189777 | ||
Hello jerzeegyrl, Here is the verse: "Is 1:10- Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah." Isaiah is speaking to the rulers of Sodom and the people of Gomorrah. What follows in verses 11-31 describes what he is warning them about. The Bible Knowledge Commentary gives this insight: 1:10.- "Building on his reference to Sodom and Gomorrah in verse 9, Isaiah likened the rulers and people of Judah to those evil cities. Both the leaders and the populace-those in all levels of society-were to hear (cf. v. 2) God’s word." Matthew Henry offers this perspective: "Verses 10–15 Judea was desolate, and their cities burned. This awakened them to bring sacrifices and offerings, as if they would bribe God to remove the punishment, and give them leave to go on in their sin. Many who will readily part with their sacrifices, will not be persuaded to part with their sins. They relied on the mere form as a service deserving a reward. The most costly devotions of wicked people, without thorough reformation of heart and life, cannot be acceptable to God. He not only did not accept them, but he abhorred them. All this shows that sin is very hateful to God. If we allow ourselves in secret sin, or forbidden indulgences; if we reject the salvation of Christ, our very prayers will become abomination." I hope this will be of some help, BradK |

365 | Age of accountability | Is 7:16 | BradK | 176098 | ||
Hello truthfisher, No, there is no scripturally stated support for the age of accountability. Is. 7:16 is speaking about Ahaz, who "...refused to request a sign that would have confirmed the truth of Isaiah’s message, the prophet said God would give him one anyway. The sign was to be a boy named Immanuel." (Bible Knowledge Commentary) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

366 | World Peace? | Is 9:6 | BradK | 226806 | ||
Hello Lovemylord, 2 scriptures come to mind: Is 9:6 "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (NASB) Eph 2:14 "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall," There will be no true, lasting world peace until the Son of Man returns!

367 | Is Satan expelled from heaven ? | Is 14:1 | BradK | 168649 | ||
Hi Tim, The initial fall of satan is depicted in Isaiah 14:12ff. Debatable (but probable) is also the reference in Ezek. 28. Rev. 12:9, really seems to be describing the future War in Heaven. The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook says: "The beginning of the Great Tribulation, which is Israel’s special time of trouble, is also marked by war in heaven. John wrote, “And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him” (Rev. 12:7–9). Earlier the Roman Empire is pictured as the dragon (v. 4), but here the dragon is identified as Satan himself who especially is in control of the world government at the period before the Second Coming. Until this event takes place, Satan is allowed in heaven and accuses the brethren as he did in the case of Job. The casting of Satan to the earth also marks the beginning of the most awful period in human history, the Great Tribulation." I hope this helps to answer your question. BradK |

368 | Will there be sin in heaven? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 132954 | ||
tglenn, Well, Satan was cast out of heaven in Isaiah 14:12. Satan's downfall was pride. He wanted to be "like the Most High". Note the 5 "I will's" in 14:13-14. Why won't there be anymore sin in Heaven? 1 Cor. 15:16-17 tells us so. Our "sin" has been dealt with at the Cross! ( 1 Cor. 1:30) Also, note what 1 Cor. 15:50 tells us: "Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable." I hope this helps, BradK |

369 | Why was sin allowed into heaven at all? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 169873 | ||
Hi Debra, I don't know that sin "literally" entered in and to my knowledge, it never occurred in heaven. Jesus told us in John 3:3 that, "unless one is born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God". This would lead me to conclude that heaven is only for those who are born again. The most descriptive section of scripture detailing the fall of satan can be found in Isaiah 14:12-14: "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;" Satan fell because of his pride and desire to be like God. In the Isaiah passage, note the 5 "I wills". I believe we see the entrance of sin in verse 13. I hope this will help to answer your question. BradK |

371 | Evil / Adam Eve prehistoric or modern? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 176367 | ||
Hello popcop, Isaiah 14:12-14 is generally considered as depicting the fall of Satan. Evil originated with him. Mankind did not evolve. God is the Creator of the universe and mankind: Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Gen 1:26 "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Gen 1:27 "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." I hope this helps, BradK |

372 | was satan the choir director in heaven? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 180891 | ||
Hello catjo, It would only be gross speculation (at best) to say that "lucifer was the choir director in heaven." As far as I'm aware, there is absolutely nothing in scripture to support this notion. As always, one should be careful about making assumptions- especially with the Bible. As Paul observed in 1 Cor. 4:6, "...so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written..." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

373 | was Lucifer a singer? Bible verse? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 184819 | ||
Hello other..., I'm not aware that there is such a verse? Possibly you're referring to Is. 14:12ff?: "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north..." a similar question has been asked before on this SBF if 'Lucifer was a choir director'. There is no such scripture to support this notion:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

374 | can it really all be another trick? | Is 14:12 | BradK | 184915 | ||
Hello other..., I'm glad I was able to be of some help! Your response reminds of 3 important points relevant to this matter that we all need to heed: 1. Scripture is (and should be) our FINAL authority (Matt 4:4) in matters such as these; 2. We need to "study to show ourselves approved unto God, workman who need not be ashamed..." (2 Tim. 2:15); 3. We are to "search the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi jada, Is this by chance a homework question? The reference you're looking for is in Isaiah 14:12-14. Is 14:12- "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! Is 14:13- "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. Is 14:14- 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

377 | God's name | Is 40:25 | BradK | 228675 | ||
Hi Julia, Here are a few things I'd offer. One, my main point in stating that God's name is not Jehovah was to counter the erroneous claim by the JW's that this is somehow THE name of God. It's not! Elohim is used for God some 2,570 times in the KJV. The most frequently used word for God is 'Lord' in the KJV and 'Jehovah' in the ASV. Second, James White in his book, "The Forgotten Trinity" says (speaking about the Triune nature of God), "The problem is of course, God is completely unique. He is God, and there is no other. He is totally unlike anything else, and as He frequently reminds us, 'to whom then will you liken me?'" Third, God has many names within scripture. He is first called Elohim in Genesis, in fact some 32 times in the first chapter! In the OT, He is also called: Jehovah, Adonai, El-Shaddai, Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rophe, Jehovah-nissi, Jehovah-M'Kaddesh, Jehovah-shalom, Jehovah-tsidkenu, Jehovah-rohi, Jehovah-shammah. So, which name is the name of God? Nathan Stone in his book, "Names of God" notes that translators have always had difficulty in finding a suitable word for the Hebrew word we translate God. He continues, "Now a name in the OT was often an indication of a person's character or of some peculiar quality. But what one name could be adequate to God's greatness? after all, as one writer declares, a name imposes some limitation. It means that an object or person is this and not that, is here and not there. And if the Heaven of heavens cannot contain God, how can a name describe Him?" (By the way, I'd highly recommend this book for you.) I think this point is well-deserving of our contemplation. God is infinite and beyond our complete comprehension, so how can Jehovah alone be HIS name? This is one aspect where the Watchtower is clearly deficient in their understanding of God. As Stone continues, "Even so, the OT contains a number of names and compound names for God which reveal Him in some aspect of His character and dealings with mankind." I hope this helps. BradK |

Hello yellowrose, Here's Isaiah 45:5- "I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God besides Me. I will gird and arm you, though you have not known Me, " (Amplified) I think a complete reading of chapter 45 will also yield you results:-) BradK |

379 | Experiencing A Relationship With Jesus? | Is 45:22 | BradK | 169193 | ||
Dear touching lives, Isaiah 45:22 says: ""Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other." The first step to a relationship with the Lord is to trust Him by faith. You do this by agreeing with Him that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. He died for your sins, so you can ask him to forgive you and invite Him into your heart! (Rom. 10:9) Are you a believer in the Lord Jesus and have you already trusted Him for your salvation? The next step is to find a local fellowship (Church) that teaches and believes that the Bible is God's Word. Then, you also grow by beginning to study the Bible and through prayer seeking to know and understand more about God. It is a process and is is developed over time. Let us know how we can assist you with any other questions. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

380 | Where Adam and Eve the first Jews? | Is 51:2 | BradK | 219594 | ||
Hello colton, Adam and Eve were not Jews or even called Jews in scripture! Jews descended from Abraham. (Is. 51:2, John 8:39). They are called Hebrews in Gen.14:13. If I'm not mistaken, the first use of the term in scripture is 2 Kings 25:25: "But it came about in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family, came with ten men and struck Gedaliah down so that he died along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |
