NASB | Isaiah 45:21 "Declare and set forth your case; Indeed, let them consult together. Who has announced this from of old? Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a Savior; There is none except Me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 45:21 "Declare and present your defense of idols; Indeed, let them consult together. Who announced this [rise of Cyrus and his conquests] long before it happened?

Bible Question:
Hi Tim, Once again you have kindly come forward to impart your knowledge.Thanks. 1. You said "Scripture never says anything about Gabriel rebelling against God." If gabriel did not rebel against God, how come gabriel is now so opposed to Godand he is making every effort to tempt us to do the same? 2.You said "..I would say that He certainly know that Adam and Eve would disobey" It would seem illogical that God knew Adam and Eve would disobey His command and yet He allowed that to happen and thereafter displayed His anger.Displaying of anger signifies regrets? Your comments, please. With love in Christ FytRobert |
Bible Answer: Greetings FytRobert! Thanks for the kind words my friend! 1) Did you perhaps means Lucifer? Scripture never says that Gabriel rebelled against God or that Gabriel tempts us now. But, it does speak of Lucifer rebelling against God. 2) Since you mentioned logic, may I respond in the same way? :-) God knew that after the fall we had fallen and depraved natures, correct? Yet, after the fall, He issued the Law through Moses. Yet, God knew that no one could obey the Law perfectly. So, there is no logical necessity which says that if God knew they would disobey that He cannot be angry or punish them for disobeying. Happy Thanksgiving! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
