1 | Please explain Isaiah 40:5-6 | Is 40:5 | Scribe | 85099 | ||
Isaiah 40:4-8 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. This passage is a doctrinal foundational passage. There are many doctrines established in the passage. We are most familiar with the Gospels applying verse 4 to the ministry of John the Baptist. There is more to verse 4 than that but in order for me to squeeze an answer into the character limitation of the post I will simply mention that vs 4 tells us that that verse 5 is at least about the coming of Jesus Christ, when John states in John 1 that they beheld his Glory, he was referring to this very promise here in Is being fulfilled in Jesus. Now not only did they behold his glory in the spiritual sense of His message and deeds, but they actually beheld a manifestation of the Glory of God that will again appear when Jesus comes again the 2nd time in His Glory, they saw it when they were with Him on the mount. Jesus told them some of them would not see death until they saw the Son of God come with Power and Glory, and 6 days later some of them (peter, james and John) were with Him on the mount and He was transfigured before them and shone like the sun. Later Peter mentions this in his epistles and says he witnessed the Power and Coming of the Son of God when he was with Him in the mount, (that is how we know that is what Jesus meant when he said some of you will see the power and coming of the Son of God) Peter goes on to say that we all will partake of that very same Glory when Christ comes again. Therefore Peter understood that these OT prophecies were about the Glory that will follow when Jesus comes again a second time and we who have Christ in us will be transfigured and shine as well. All over the earth the believers that are waiting His appearing will shine like like the stars as they are changed in a twinkling, and they will rise and meet the Lord in the Air. This is what I believe about the rapture. It will not be a disappearing in a twinkling, that is not what the scripture says.. but a changing, and a rising, we only disappear after we have risen from view. All flesh will see the Glory of the Lord manifested in us. They will also see the Glory of the Lord when Christ Comes at the end of the tribulation. |
