1 | Would someone explain Isaiah 6. | Is 6:1 | Rowdy | 110348 | ||
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. |

2 | Would someone explain Isaiah 6. | Is 6:1 | EdB | 110391 | ||
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 |
