2 | Would someone explain Isaiah 6. | Is 6:1 | EdB | 110338 | ||
Looking Hi and welcome to the forum. Isaiah 6 is one of my favorites. Isaiah is being commissioned to be God’s prophet. God reveals His glory to Isaiah and Isaiah realizing his sinfulness falls before the Lord begging mercy. God has an angel touch a coal to Isaiah’s lips signifying Isaiah’s purification for the work of the Lord. Then the question is asked who is GO! Who will be my spokes person? To this Isaiah says “Here am I send me.” Signifying Isaiah’s submission to being a useable servant of the Lord. God then charges Isaiah to be His messenger to go to the people and speak to them on His (God’s ) behalf. He is to speak of their sin and their refusal to acknowledge their responsibility in it, even to the point they will refuse to hear God’s own Son Jesus. They will continue to deny their sin even as God allows pestilence to overcome them. Their cities will be destroyed and they will be scattered as we seen happen in 70 AD when Rome basically destroyed Israel and scattered the Jews around the civilized world. Yet there is a promise here. God will bring a remnant back and from that remnant just as new life springs from a stump of tree cut down this remnant will once again turn their hearts toward God. See this beginning to take place in Israel today as the Jew return and hunger to once again worship God. EdB |

I would agree with most everything in your answer except for the portion about the stump of tree. I would refer you to Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chap 15. Here Paul concludes that the remnant from that tree is God's very own Son, Jesus Christ. This is consistent with most of the OT. Throughout the history of the Israelite nation, God kept helping and blessing a remnant of His family so His Son could be born in accordance with the promise He made to Abraham. It was this remnant or root of Jesse, His Son who came to earth to die for the sins of everyone and provide the utlimate sacrifice, taking our place in God's perfect world of justice and redemption. I don't really believe the Jewish nation has anything to do with any special recognition or any other function in this Christian age. Jews should be treated just like they were in the first century; they can become christians just like you and me. God turned His back forever on the Isrealites as a nation. No one nation, not even the USA can claim any special relationship with him, only His children through the blood of His Son can claim that special relationship of fatherhood with God as Father and Jesus Christ as the saviour. Remember our God is a Spirit and we as His children must look forward to giving up this physical world and graduate to the next world, hopfully covered by the blood of Christ. Otherwise we fall into the hand of God, woefully unprepared. God bless. |

Rowdy I must say your wrong. The Children of Israel are Gods chosen people. We as Christians can be grafted in. Read Romans 11. God made promises to Abraham that will never be broken. The book of Revelation is the fulfillment of those promises. God has not turned His back on the nation of Israel and never will. He has made promises especially to them and no one else and those promises will not be broken. EdB |
