1
\n00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:14,680
\nWelcome to good Chris Delphian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,720 –> 00:00:16,000
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,160 –> 00:00:18,400
\nI’m Jason.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:20,240
\njoining us this week on this
\npodcast. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:20,280 –> 00:00:23,520
\nWe select one talk a week to
\nhelp us get the Bible in our <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:23,520 –> 00:00:26,720
\nDaily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:26,720 –> 00:00:29,640
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:29,640 –> 00:00:32,000
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:35,760
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:35,760 –> 00:00:38,840
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:38,840 –> 00:00:52,170
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHey everyone, it’s Jason Hensley<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:52,170 –> 00:00:55,450
\nand this week we are going to be
\nlistening to a class by brother <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:55,450 –> 00:01:01,370
\nColin Badger given at the 1988
\nIdyllwild Bible School. <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:02,450 –> 00:01:08,290
\nHis overall topic is a thematic
\nstudy of Isaiah, and this <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:08,290 –> 00:01:11,600
\nparticular class is actually
\nclass number six, which I feel <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:11,600 –> 00:01:13,840
\nsort of funny about.
\nIt’s kind of funny to do the <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:13,840 –> 00:01:18,640
\nlast class as the one that we
\nlisten to, but at the same time,<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:18,720 –> 00:01:23,720
\nI really felt like he did an
\nawesome job summarizing all of <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:23,720 –> 00:01:26,800
\nthe themes that he had brought
\nout throughout the week and <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:26,800 –> 00:01:29,400
\ncapping it off here in this
\nclass number six. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:32,200
\nSo we’re going to be listening
\nto class 6, the Suffering <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:32,200 –> 00:01:38,080
\nServant for Jubilee.
\nThe reason I chose this class is<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:38,080 –> 00:01:42,240
\nspecifically because we don’t
\nhear a lot on Isaiah, or at <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:42,240 –> 00:01:44,840
\nleast I, I haven’t.
\nIt’s one of those books that I <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:44,840 –> 00:01:48,560
\nthink it’s so big with 66
\nchapters that we tend to stay <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:48,560 –> 00:01:50,600
\naway from it.
\nWe feel sort of like, oh, that’s<\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:50,600 –> 00:01:53,320
\nso much, how can I grasp the
\noverall picture? <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:53,760 –> 00:01:57,880
\nAnd I think that brother Colin
\ndid an awesome job at making it <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:57,880 –> 00:02:03,920
\nsomething that we feel like we
\ncan experience and understand. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:04,560 –> 00:02:10,919
\nHe really brings Isaiah into the
\ntime of Hezekiah and explains it<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:14,120
\nin that light.
\nAnd then using that as a basis <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:15,760 –> 00:02:20,440
\nconsidering how the prophecy of
\nIsaiah will apply in the future.<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:21,240 –> 00:02:23,160
\nHe talks a lot about the
\njubilee, as you can probably <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:23,160 –> 00:02:25,040
\ntell from the topic of the
\nclass. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:25,320 –> 00:02:27,880
\nHe discusses the servant.
\nHe goes through the city of <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:27,880 –> 00:02:31,560
\nrefuge, some of these ideas of
\nwater. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:32,160 –> 00:02:35,160
\nAnd I just think it’s it’s
\nreally wonderful because some of<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:35,160 –> 00:02:38,320
\nthese concepts can sometimes
\nfeel somewhat abstract. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:43,200
\nAnd yet this becomes much more
\nmanageable when brother Colin <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:47,640
\nleads us through it and we can
\nreally, I think, envision the <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:47,640 –> 00:02:50,840
\npower of the prophecy of Isaiah.
\nSo I hope you enjoy it. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,440 –> 00:02:56,120
\nAnd here we are, class number
\nsix in Colin Badger, thematic <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:56,120 –> 00:03:00,400
\nstudy of Isaiah.
\nThis is the suffering servant <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:00,760 –> 00:03:04,480
\nfor Jubilee.
\nMy dear brothers and sisters, as<\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:04,480 –> 00:03:08,880
\nwe come to this last session
\ntogether, it should be apparent <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:08,880 –> 00:03:11,200
\nthat we’ve only really just
\nscratched the surface in some of<\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:11,200 –> 00:03:12,640
\nthese areas we’ve been
\nexploring. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:17,120
\nOur intention over this past
\nweek was to look at a number of <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:17,120 –> 00:03:20,000
\nimportant themes that run
\nthrough Isaiah. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:20,560 –> 00:03:24,160
\nConsider their background in the
\nprophecy itself. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:28,560
\nTry to explore whether those
\nthemes had any roots in the Life<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:32,600
\nand Times of the prophet
\nhimself, and especially in the <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:32,600 –> 00:03:36,480
\nlife and work of Hezekiah.
\nWe have drawn fairly heavily <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:36,720 –> 00:03:40,800
\nupon Kings and Chronicles to
\ngain a keener insight into the <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:44,120
\nlife of Hezekiah and the
\ncircumstances that form the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:44,120 –> 00:03:48,080
\nbackground for these important
\nthemes in Isaiah’s prophecy. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:48,880 –> 00:03:52,840
\nWe’ve carried through a number
\nof keywords or terms, as well as<\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:52,840 –> 00:03:56,920
\nsome important ideas and
\nconcepts, seeing how they go <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:56,960 –> 00:04:00,760
\nright through the prophecy and
\nwith some careful understanding <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:00,760 –> 00:04:03,840
\nof their meaning and the
\nassociations they have elsewhere<\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:03,840 –> 00:04:06,600
\nin Scripture.
\nThey’re like master keys which <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:06,600 –> 00:04:11,600
\nopen up the prophecy.
\nYesterday we were considering <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:11,840 –> 00:04:16,200
\nthat beautiful theme of the
\nwater symbology in Isaiah’s <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:20,839
\nprophecy and how it relates so
\nvery much to the circumstances <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:20,839 –> 00:04:24,360
\nin and around Jerusalem at the
\ntime of Hezekiah and the <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:28,240
\nAssyrian crisis.
\nWe ended yesterday by <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:28,440 –> 00:04:34,560
\nconcentrating on the symbol of
\nthe highway, the cleansing, the <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:34,560 –> 00:04:38,320
\nwater that was there within
\neyesight of all who would <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:38,320 –> 00:04:41,520
\ndiscern the words of the
\nprophets and search for a deeper<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:41,520 –> 00:04:44,000
\nmeaning.
\nI’d like, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:48,120
\njust to pick up that thread and
\nround it off a little bit more <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:51,840
\nbefore we consider in some
\ndetail the importance of the <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:51,840 –> 00:04:57,800
\nServant theme in Isaiah.
\nThe Servant himself as Messiah <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:58,640 –> 00:05:03,280
\nbrings certain blessings.
\nIn the prophecy of Isaiah, <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:03,720 –> 00:05:05,680
\nobviously the blessing of
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:06,160 –> 00:05:09,520
\nWe’ve seen that he also brings
\nthe wells of salvation. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:10,160 –> 00:05:15,000
\nWe see also in Isaiah 53 that
\nthe suffering servant is a sin <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:17,760
\nbearer.
\nWe see throughout the pages of <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:17,760 –> 00:05:23,720
\nIsaiah that the great Servant,
\nGod’s Son, usher’s in the <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:23,720 –> 00:05:26,200
\nKingdom.
\nHe is the righteous king, <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:26,400 –> 00:05:30,120
\nmentioned many times in the
\nprophecy, or at least described <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:30,440 –> 00:05:33,480
\nas being one who ruled, a
\nleader, a commander of the <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:33,480 –> 00:05:39,280
\npeople.
\nHe is first and foremost a <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:39,280 –> 00:05:45,120
\nLiberator, one who brings
\nfreedom, and in the language of <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:45,120 –> 00:05:48,920
\nthe prophecy of Isaiah, he is
\none who proclaims a kind of <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:48,920 –> 00:05:51,200
\njubilee.
\nAnd the work we’ve been doing in<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:54,120
\nJoshua this week will provide a
\nuseful background for that. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:55,560 –> 00:06:01,320
\nAs the Servant, he also, through
\nhis messianic work of saving and<\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:01,320 –> 00:06:06,360
\nthe ushering in of a future
\nKingdom, provides a place where <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:06,360 –> 00:06:09,800
\nthat highway leads, a place of
\nrefuge. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:10,640 –> 00:06:13,160
\nAnd that language is what we’d
\nlike to start with in this <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:13,160 –> 00:06:17,560
\nclass, Isaiah chapter 40, the
\nsection we were looking at <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:17,560 –> 00:06:21,840
\nfairly closely yesterday.
\nIt is the springboard for <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:21,840 –> 00:06:25,680
\nanother important image that
\nruns through the prophecy, and <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:25,680 –> 00:06:30,720
\nit’s rich in its exhortation,
\nthinking as we did yesterday <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:30,720 –> 00:06:35,240
\nabout the symbology of a
\nhighway, a way of holiness, the <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:39,880
\nway of salvation that leads to
\nZion, brings us to the place of <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:39,880 –> 00:06:44,640
\nthe well of salvation, provides
\na way by which the Zion, the <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:44,640 –> 00:06:47,200
\ndaughters of Zion, might truly
\nbe cleansed. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:48,160 –> 00:06:54,320
\nVerse 3A key phrase.
\nThe voice of him that crieth in <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:54,320 –> 00:06:58,840
\nthe wilderness.
\nPrepare, prepare ye The way of <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:58,840 –> 00:07:04,240
\nthe Lord makes straight in the
\ndesert a highway for our God. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:05,240 –> 00:07:08,920
\nWe think of the words of our
\nMaster in the Gospel where he <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:08,920 –> 00:07:12,800
\ndescribed the way of salvation
\nas being narrow. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:13,360 –> 00:07:15,960
\nHe also used the word straight,
\ndidn’t he? <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:16,760 –> 00:07:20,600
\nThe way of salvation is narrow
\nin contrast to the Broadway that<\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,560
\nleads to destruction.
\nSo the Master himself used terms<\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:24,560 –> 00:07:28,880
\nto describe the way of salvation
\nas though it was a straight <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:29,120 –> 00:07:32,040
\nhighway, narrow rather than
\nbroad. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:32,640 –> 00:07:37,000
\nSo his words in the Gospels are
\nin some way an echo of verse 3. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:38,080 –> 00:07:41,360
\nBut more than that, this phrase
\nprepare. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:41,440 –> 00:07:46,560
\nYe.
\nThe way in the Old Testament, in<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:46,560 –> 00:07:50,840
\nthe book of Deuteronomy chapter
\n19, we believe there’s an <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:50,840 –> 00:07:55,000
\nimportant link which fills out
\nthe Old Testament thought here, <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:55,640 –> 00:07:59,360
\nand I think it helps to have
\nthat in order to fill out the <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:59,360 –> 00:08:03,360
\npicture that is given to us in
\nthis cry of Isaiah 40. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:03,760 –> 00:08:06,360
\nWould you turn then with me to
\nDeuteronomy 19? <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:07,440 –> 00:08:09,480
\nIt’s dealing with the cities of
\nrefuge. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:11,040 –> 00:08:14,960
\nIt provides another Old
\nTestament background that helps <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:14,960 –> 00:08:17,800
\nus to understand what these
\nwords would have meant to one <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:17,800 –> 00:08:19,280
\nwho has seized in the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:20,280 –> 00:08:26,720
\nDeuteronomy 19 verse one.
\nWhen the Lord thy God hath cut <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:26,720 –> 00:08:30,600
\noff the nations, whose land the
\nLord thy God giveth thee, and <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:35,080
\nthou succeedest them, and
\ndwellest in their cities, and in<\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:35,080 –> 00:08:39,559
\ntheir houses, thou shalt
\nseparate 3 cities for thee. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:39,559 –> 00:08:43,840
\nIn the midst of thy land, which
\nthe Lord thy God giveth thee to <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:43,840 –> 00:08:53,400
\npossess it, thou shalt prepare
\nthee away and divide the coasts <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:53,400 –> 00:08:57,960
\nof thy land, which the Lord thy
\nGod giveth thee to inherit into <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:57,960 –> 00:09:01,880
\nthree parts, that every Slayer
\nmay flee there. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:02,760 –> 00:09:06,680
\nNow if you look at the context,
\nit’s talking about about one who<\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:06,680 –> 00:09:10,800
\nhas unintentionally, through
\neither carelessness or <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:10,800 –> 00:09:15,240
\nignorance, slain someone.
\nHe has the opportunity of <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:15,240 –> 00:09:19,360
\nfinding asylum within three
\ncities of the land. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:22,800
\nThey were called the cities of
\nrefuge. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:23,880 –> 00:09:28,080
\nAnd in these cities, brothers
\nand sisters, he would find <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:31,640
\nprotection for or rather from
\ndeath. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:32,840 –> 00:09:36,320
\nAnd here you would see, I
\nshouldn’t say 3 cities, 3 parts <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:36,360 –> 00:09:39,040
\nof the land divided with the
\ncities within. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:39,880 –> 00:09:43,360
\nIn these cities of refuge, in
\nthree sections of the land, <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:44,600 –> 00:09:47,440
\nthere was to be a place provided
\nfor him. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:52,520
\nBut there was a certain onus
\nupon those who had those cities <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:52,520 –> 00:09:54,800
\nor territories within their
\ntribal lot. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:55,400 –> 00:09:58,160
\nTheir responsibility in verse 3
\nis spelled out. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:59,240 –> 00:10:04,920
\nThou shalt prepare thee our way.
\nNow brothers and sisters, the <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:09,520
\nforce of the original is that
\nthey were to make or to maintain<\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:13,600
\nsome form of root to those
\ncities of refuge. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:19,920
\nEvery tribal area that took in
\nthese cities, the municipal <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:25,240
\nareas around them were to ensure
\nthat there is these roads were <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:25,240 –> 00:10:30,080
\nmaintained, that they were clear
\nand that they were kept up so <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:33,960
\nthat one who was fleeing for his
\nlife or for her life would <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:33,960 –> 00:10:38,360
\nalways be guaranteed of a proper
\nAve. to the city of refuge. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:39,480 –> 00:10:42,120
\nNow what’s important to notice
\nhere, brothers and sisters, is <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:42,120 –> 00:10:47,240
\nthis phrase which is echoed, we
\nbelieve in Isaiah 40, for the <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:47,240 –> 00:10:52,640
\none who is guilty or the one who
\nhas inadvertently brought guilt <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:56,840
\nupon himself in slaying another
\nwho flees for refuge and <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:56,840 –> 00:11:00,480
\nprotection.
\nOur way was to be prepared for <\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:00,480 –> 00:11:04,240
\nthat person.
\nThou shalt prepare thee away. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:05,120 –> 00:11:10,560
\nPrepare away.
\nAnd in verse 3 of Isaiah 40, the<\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:10,560 –> 00:11:15,640
\nvoice of him that crieth in the
\nwilderness to those who have <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:15,640 –> 00:11:22,400
\nbeen guilty, or to those who are
\nin need of pardoning, those in <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:22,400 –> 00:11:27,480
\nneed of asylum, the voice of him
\ncrieth in the wilderness. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:28,200 –> 00:11:32,320
\nAnd for them he says, Prepare ye
\nthe way. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:33,760 –> 00:11:37,920
\nThe way of the Lord makes
\nstraight in the desert a highway<\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:37,920 –> 00:11:43,760
\nfor our God.
\nIt was a call to prepare an Ave.<\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:44,320 –> 00:11:50,360
\nby which those who were fleeing
\nfor asylum and protection, those<\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:50,360 –> 00:11:54,240
\nwho were in need of pardoning
\nand forgiveness, would find <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:54,360 –> 00:11:58,080
\nrefuge.
\nVerse 2 Speak ye comfortably to <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:58,080 –> 00:12:02,360
\nJerusalem, and cry unto her that
\nher warfare is accomplished, <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:03,480 –> 00:12:08,760
\nthat her iniquity is pardoned,
\nfor she hath received of the <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:08,760 –> 00:12:11,920
\nLord’s hand double for all her
\nsins. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:12,560 –> 00:12:16,680
\nNow the apostle Paul in Hebrews
\npicks up this picture in part <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:17,280 –> 00:12:19,280
\nand in reference to the cities
\nof refuge. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:19,440 –> 00:12:25,400
\nHe tells us that we have a city
\nof refuge, we have an anchor to <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:25,400 –> 00:12:29,280
\nour soul, and we must flee unto
\nit. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:29,920 –> 00:12:33,720
\nSo clearly the cities of refuge
\nin the Old Testament where <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:33,720 –> 00:12:36,960
\nobviously symbolic of something
\ngreater. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:37,360 –> 00:12:40,760
\nPaul picking that up in Hebrews
\nshows that in a certain sense <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:40,880 –> 00:12:46,400
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ is our
\ncity of refuge and we must flee <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:46,400 –> 00:12:51,280
\nunto that city for protection.
\nBut who has provided the way? <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:58,480
\nThe Master has provided the way
\nfor here in Isaiah 40, the way <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:58,520 –> 00:13:03,560
\nwas prepared to those areas of
\nrefuge in the Old Testament, and<\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:03,560 –> 00:13:06,760
\nnow more fully to the city of
\nrefuge that we have in Christ <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:06,760 –> 00:13:09,080
\nJesus.
\nThe way has been prepared. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:13,920
\nIt has been made straight, a
\nhighway for our God and for the <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:13,920 –> 00:13:17,920
\nremnant that shall go therein.
\nYou see, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:18,160 –> 00:13:22,080
\nonce again the language of
\nIsaiah is drawing upon Old <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:22,080 –> 00:13:25,800
\nTestament imagery.
\nNow consider how this is built <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:28,680
\nup a little further in the
\nprophecy elsewhere. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:29,560 –> 00:13:37,640
\nLet’s go to Isaiah chapter 4,
\nthe language of the future age, <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:38,240 –> 00:13:43,160
\ndescribing the place of asylum
\nthat we have in Christ and that <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:43,160 –> 00:13:48,600
\nthe nation shall have when
\nChrist establishes His Kingdom. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:48,960 –> 00:13:52,760
\nNow think carefully of the
\nlanguage of the highway and the <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:52,760 –> 00:13:56,160
\nrelationship to washing that we
\npicked up yesterday. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:56,480 –> 00:14:04,040
\nHere also in Isaiah 4, verse 4,
\nwhen the Lord shall have washed <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:08,000
\naway the filth of the daughters
\nof Zion. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:08,200 –> 00:14:13,000
\nRemember, the fuller’s field,
\nwhen the Lord has washed away <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:16,600
\nthe filth of the daughters of
\nZion, shall have purged the <\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,280
\nblood of Jerusalem from the
\nmidst thereof by the spirit of <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:20,280 –> 00:14:22,320
\njudgment and by the spirit of
\nburning. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:23,360 –> 00:14:26,360
\nAnd the Lord will create upon
\nevery dwelling place of Mount <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:26,360 –> 00:14:31,520
\nZion, and upon her assemblies, a
\ncloud and a smoke by day, and <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:31,520 –> 00:14:34,440
\nthe shining of a flaming fire by
\nnight. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:35,000 –> 00:14:40,240
\nFor upon all the glory shall be
\na defense or a covering, the <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:40,240 –> 00:14:46,280
\nMartin suggests, and there shall
\nbe a Tabernacle for a shadow in <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:46,280 –> 00:14:53,600
\nthe daytime from the heat, and
\nfor a place of refuge, and for a<\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:59,160
\ncovert from storm and from rain.
\nTo see that in the future age, <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,760
\nZion with the presence of the
\nKing, will be pictured truly as <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:03,760 –> 00:15:08,320
\nthough it was a place of refuge,
\na city of refuge. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:08,960 –> 00:15:13,480
\nA highway has been prepared
\nthere, the way of holiness, and <\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:13,480 –> 00:15:19,040
\nwhen God has cleansed the filth
\nof the daughters of Zion, they <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:19,040 –> 00:15:23,760
\nwill be welcomed to tread that
\nhighway, a way of holiness, for <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:23,760 –> 00:15:26,680
\nas we read yesterday, the
\nunclean shall not pass through <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:26,680 –> 00:15:29,200
\nit.
\nCleansing must take place 1st <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:29,720 –> 00:15:35,080
\nand advance by washing.
\nAnd those who come will find in <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:35,080 –> 00:15:40,560
\nZion, in whom there is all her
\nsprings, or their springs, a <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:40,560 –> 00:15:44,080
\nplace like the city of refuge of
\nthe Old Testament. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:45,000 –> 00:15:48,440
\nAnd so the words of Isaiah for
\nemerge with this picture. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:48,920 –> 00:15:53,080
\nPrepare, prepare ye the way,
\nsays the voice. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:53,440 –> 00:15:58,520
\nMake it straight, make it plain,
\ntake out the crooked, make it <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:03,720
\nobvious, and make it sure.
\nSee how elsewhere in Isaiah the <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:03,720 –> 00:16:08,160
\nsame imagery is carried through.
\nBuilding on these themes, Isaiah<\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:08,160 –> 00:16:12,960
\nchapter 25, perhaps with this
\nbackground that we’ve <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:12,960 –> 00:16:15,240
\naccumulated over the course of
\nour studies, brothers and <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:15,240 –> 00:16:18,840
\nsisters, when we come across
\nthese terms in the future as we <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:22,280
\nread Isaiah, they’ll have a
\nlittle more meaning, more of a <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:22,280 –> 00:16:25,600
\nconcrete picture behind them,
\nwhat they would have meant for <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:28,560
\nthe readers in those days and
\nwhat they mean more importantly <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:28,560 –> 00:16:34,240
\nfor us now in the future.
\nNotice verse 2 of Isaiah 25 As a<\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:34,240 –> 00:16:40,120
\nlead in For Thou hast Made of a
\ncity and heap of a defence city,<\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:40,120 –> 00:16:45,400
\na ruin, a palace of strangers,
\nto be no city, it shall never be<\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:45,400 –> 00:16:48,200
\nbuilt.
\nThat’s called in Isaiah quite <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:52,200
\noften the city of confusion.
\nIt’s speaking, of course, not <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:52,200 –> 00:16:55,760
\nonly of Babylon, but in
\nparticular of the nations and <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:55,760 –> 00:16:59,000
\ntheir cities and powers that
\nhave been raised up against God.<\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:59,480 –> 00:17:02,160
\nNow verse 3.
\nTherefore shall the strong <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:02,160 –> 00:17:06,319
\npeople glorify thee.
\nThe city of the terrible nations<\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:06,440 –> 00:17:12,640
\nshall fear thee now in contrast,
\nfor thou hast been a strength to<\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:12,640 –> 00:17:17,520
\nthe poor, a strength to the
\nneedy in his distress. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:17:17,760 –> 00:17:22,040
\nWe think of a man who fled to
\nthe city of refuge, to the needy<\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:22,040 –> 00:17:27,319
\nin his distress, a refuge from
\nthe storm, a shadow from the <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:27,319 –> 00:17:31,360
\nheat, when the blast of the
\nterrible one is as a storm <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:31,360 –> 00:17:34,520
\nagainst the wall.
\nDo you remember the picture we <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:34,520 –> 00:17:38,120
\npainted a few days ago?
\nThe small remnant of those <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:38,120 –> 00:17:41,400
\nwithin the walls, the sheep
\nwithin the pen, Like the <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:41,400 –> 00:17:46,000
\nlanguage of Micah chapter 2, The
\nonslaught of the Assyrian army, <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:46,280 –> 00:17:49,960
\nthe great waters that came down
\nbut only went up to the neck. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:50,280 –> 00:17:54,520
\nAccording to the language of
\nIsaiah chapter 8, the blast of <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:54,520 –> 00:17:57,960
\nthe terrible one is as a storm
\nagainst the wall. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:02,800
\nSo brothers and sisters, these
\nbrethren who were faithful <\/p>\n

250
\n00:18:03,200 –> 00:18:06,960
\nwithin those walls with
\nHezekiah, whose hearts were <\/p>\n

251
\n00:18:06,960 –> 00:18:10,960
\ntried in this crisis, would
\nappreciate the force of this <\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:10,960 –> 00:18:13,720
\nlanguage.
\nFor indeed, around them, beating<\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:13,720 –> 00:18:17,560
\nagainst the walls of Jerusalem,
\nwas the Assyrian and the <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:17,560 –> 00:18:20,720
\npsychological threats posed by
\nRab Sheka. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:21,400 –> 00:18:26,560
\nBut within that city of
\nJerusalem in those days, they <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:26,560 –> 00:18:30,120
\nfound a covert from the blast of
\nthe heat. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:30,960 –> 00:18:34,680
\nThey found protection from the
\njaws of the mighty Assyrian <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:34,680 –> 00:18:40,320
\nlion.
\nThey found by fleeing to it not <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:40,320 –> 00:18:43,240
\njust those who were native
\ncitizens of Jerusalem, as we’ve <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:43,240 –> 00:18:47,680
\nsaid before, but those who from
\nother tribes and towns, had <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:47,680 –> 00:18:51,640
\ntaken the opportunity when time
\nallowed and gone down to join <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:51,640 –> 00:18:55,320
\nHezekiah and Isaiah.
\nThose who perhaps had <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:55,320 –> 00:18:59,600
\nexperienced the infusion of
\nspiritual strength when Hezekiah<\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:59,600 –> 00:19:03,000
\ncelebrated the Passover knew
\nwhat it was to be around a <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:07,360
\nHezekiah, a righteous king.
\nThose who had tasted of that <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:07,360 –> 00:19:11,760
\nexperience in the hour of crisis
\nhad gone down there to join <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:11,760 –> 00:19:16,200
\nothers who were native to the
\narea and put in their lot with <\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:16,200 –> 00:19:22,240
\nHezekiah and Isaiah.
\nThey had come seeking refuge <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:22,360 –> 00:19:26,560
\nfrom the storm shadow, from the
\nheat and the blast of the <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:26,560 –> 00:19:30,760
\nterrible ones, and the storm of
\nthe Assyrians did not touch <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:30,760 –> 00:19:34,200
\nthem.
\nAs Isaiah told Hezekiah, not an <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:36,680
\narrow shall be fired within
\nthose walls. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:40,280
\nNot an arrow.
\nYou see, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:40,280 –> 00:19:45,600
\nonce again we find that the
\nexperience of Hezekiah and his <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:45,600 –> 00:19:50,680
\nsmall flock within those walls
\nwas intended by God to be a <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:50,680 –> 00:19:55,720
\ncameo, just a small picture of
\nsomething greater. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:56,040 –> 00:19:59,600
\nIt meant something to them, and
\nwhen we consider how it was <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:59,600 –> 00:20:03,960
\nworked out in their real
\nexperience, we look forward to <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:08,520
\nthe time when the Master will
\ncome and establish Zion as a <\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:08,520 –> 00:20:12,800
\nculvert for all the world, a
\nplace where He will invite all <\/p>\n

281
\n00:20:12,800 –> 00:20:16,320
\nnations to come, from which
\nwe’ll go forth the law. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:16,840 –> 00:20:22,560
\nAnd he will teach the nation and
\nhis brethren, as Hezekiah taught<\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:22,600 –> 00:20:26,920
\nthose of his own people.
\nWe saw how Hezekiah in Chronicle<\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:27,240 –> 00:20:31,520
\nspake comfortably to the heart
\nof the Levites and those who <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:31,520 –> 00:20:33,200
\nwould teach and instruct the
\nlaw. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:33,800 –> 00:20:37,560
\nYou see, even in that limited
\napplication, they too could take<\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:37,560 –> 00:20:41,160
\nsome meaning from those words.
\nFor in his days the law went <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:41,160 –> 00:20:45,680
\nforth from Zion, and under his
\nleadership in Isaiah, the law <\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:50,040
\nwent forth, and they taught the
\npeople all once again, but a <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:50,040 –> 00:20:55,120
\nmicrocosm of something much
\ngrander of the future once <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:55,120 –> 00:20:57,760
\nagain.
\nThen we see a theme which runs <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:57,760 –> 00:21:02,120
\nall through Isaiah, building as
\nit goes through the prophecies, <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:06,480
\ncreating a complete picture.
\nOnce again we see how important <\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:06,480 –> 00:21:09,960
\nit is to grasp the relevance it
\nwould have had in those days. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:21:10,880 –> 00:21:14,000
\nWell, let’s go back to Isaiah,
\nto the middle portion that we’ve<\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:18,000
\nbeen often in.
\nTake a look at something else <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:19,760
\nthat we haven’t really touched
\non yet. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:19,920 –> 00:21:23,680
\nIn the middle of the Assyrian
\ncrisis, Isaiah 37. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:26,400 –> 00:21:30,040
\nGod’s assurances that the
\nAssyrian will be turned back. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:30,120 –> 00:21:40,880
\nThe mighty raging storm, verse
\n29 of Isaiah 37 speaking as it <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:40,880 –> 00:21:46,880
\nwere to the Assyrian, verse 29
\nIsaiah 37 Because thy Rage <\/p>\n

302
\n00:21:46,880 –> 00:21:52,120
\nAgainst me and thy tumult is
\ncome up into mine ears, <\/p>\n

303
\n00:21:52,640 –> 00:22:03,120
\ntherefore I will put my hook in
\nthy nose, and my bridle in thy <\/p>\n

304
\n00:22:03,320 –> 00:22:07,440
\nlips.
\nWhere have we heard that before?<\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:08,080 –> 00:22:11,200
\nWell, we showed you a slide
\nMonday evening, I believe it <\/p>\n

306
\n00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:15,400
\nwas, which showed from an
\nAssyrian inscription, the <\/p>\n

307
\n00:22:16,720 –> 00:22:22,920
\npractice amongst the Assyrians
\nof taking hooks or rings and <\/p>\n

308
\n00:22:22,920 –> 00:22:26,920
\nputting them in the noses of
\ntheir captives and then <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:26,920 –> 00:22:30,720
\nstringing chords from captive to
\ncaptive, nose to nose. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:31,000 –> 00:22:33,000
\nA rather painful way of walking
\nalong. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:33,800 –> 00:22:37,920
\nAnd how they would use this as a
\nsource of daily torment when <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:37,920 –> 00:22:41,320
\nthey’re captive, often naked, as
\nyou saw in that slide, would <\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:41,320 –> 00:22:44,560
\nfollow along all the way to the
\ncities that they were to be <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:47,040
\nplaced in, whether it was back
\nto Nineveh or some other <\/p>\n

315
\n00:22:47,040 –> 00:22:51,280
\nsurrounding place of deportment.
\nSo, brothers and sisters, that <\/p>\n

316
\n00:22:51,280 –> 00:22:55,000
\nlanguage drawing from the
\npractice of the Assyrians would <\/p>\n

317
\n00:22:55,000 –> 00:22:59,080
\nhave had special meaning.
\nNow it’s that very kind of <\/p>\n

318
\n00:22:59,080 –> 00:23:02,640
\nlanguage that is used to
\ndescribe the latter day <\/p>\n

319
\n00:23:02,640 –> 00:23:05,480
\nAssyrian.
\nPerhaps it echoes something in <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:05,480 –> 00:23:09,280
\nyour mind.
\nIt’s used in Kings elsewhere, <\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:09,680 –> 00:23:13,360
\ngiving a parallel record to
\nIsaiah 37 of the Assyrians. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:13,680 –> 00:23:16,520
\nBut hold your hand here and slip
\nover to Ezekiel 38. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:18,120 –> 00:23:24,120
\nThis brings perhaps a little
\nmore relevance to our time here <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:24,120 –> 00:23:29,320
\nin Ezekiel 38 we have the threat
\nof another northern invader, <\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:29,680 –> 00:23:33,720
\nwith many parallels to the
\nAssyrian of Hezekiah’s day. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:34,640 –> 00:23:38,520
\nAnd Speaking of this Great
\nNorthern invader, whose <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:38,520 –> 00:23:42,360
\nobjective is to come down to the
\nsame city that Sennacherib came <\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:42,360 –> 00:23:47,400
\nto, whose objective is to
\nannihilate the same people as <\/p>\n

329
\n00:23:47,400 –> 00:23:50,840
\nthe Assyrian had intended to in
\nthe days of Hezekiah. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:23:51,760 –> 00:23:55,600
\nOf this future power it is said,
\nverse 3. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:23:55,920 –> 00:24:00,280
\nEzekiel 38.
\nAnd say thus saith the Lord God,<\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:00,760 –> 00:24:04,280
\nBehold, I am against thee, O
\nGog, the chief Prince of Meshach<\/p>\n

333
\n00:24:04,280 –> 00:24:07,520
\nand Tubal, and I will turn thee
\nback. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:24:08,200 –> 00:24:11,520
\nNow notice the language of the
\nAssyrian practice. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:24:12,200 –> 00:24:16,680
\nAnd put books into thy jaws, and
\nI will bring thee forth. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:17,520 –> 00:24:21,480
\nAnd all thine army, and horses
\nand horsemen, all of them <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:21,480 –> 00:24:24,880
\nclothed with all sorts of armor,
\neven a great company with <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:24,880 –> 00:24:28,320
\nbucklers and Shields, all of
\nthem handling swords. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:28,880 –> 00:24:34,280
\nNow the language of Ezekiel 38
\ndescribes an army, and of course<\/p>\n

340
\n00:24:34,280 –> 00:24:37,840
\nit doesn’t describe this
\ninvading northern army in terms <\/p>\n

341
\n00:24:37,840 –> 00:24:42,040
\nof Modern Warfare, but the
\nlanguage is reminiscent of the <\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:42,040 –> 00:24:46,680
\nAssyrian invasion, the same kind
\nof forces, the same kind of <\/p>\n

343
\n00:24:46,680 –> 00:24:50,240
\napproach from the north.
\nIn your margin, you might want <\/p>\n

344
\n00:24:50,240 –> 00:24:57,120
\nto note Second Kings 19 verse
\n28, Second Kings 19, verse 28, <\/p>\n

345
\n00:24:57,400 –> 00:25:00,920
\nwhere part of this language is
\nused in application to the <\/p>\n

346
\n00:25:00,920 –> 00:25:06,240
\nAssyrians as an addition to the
\nIsaiah 37 passage we just began <\/p>\n

347
\n00:25:06,240 –> 00:25:10,360
\nfrom.
\nNow let’s flip over to Micah, a <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:10,360 –> 00:25:12,680
\nprophet contemporary with
\nIsaiah. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:21,560
\nSee how Micah puts this,
\nSpeaking of the latter days and <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:21,560 –> 00:25:26,280
\nyet no doubt having meaning to
\nhis contemporaries, thinking of <\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:26,280 –> 00:25:30,160
\nthe backdrop of the Assyrian
\ninvasion in Micah’s day, but <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:30,160 –> 00:25:34,200
\nlooking forward to something the
\nLord Jesus Christ must handle in<\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:39,280
\nthe future against another
\nAssyrian, Micah 5. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:25:40,080 –> 00:25:41,840
\nWe know it’s a Messianic
\nchapter. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:43,840 –> 00:25:47,120
\nWe know that because it refers
\nto the Lord Jesus Christ in <\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:47,120 –> 00:25:50,400
\nverse two well known words to
\nall of us. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:25:50,840 –> 00:25:55,200
\nBut thou Bethlehem Afrata,
\nthough thou be little among the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:58,960
\nthousands of Judah, yet out of
\nthee shall he come forth unto <\/p>\n

359
\n00:25:58,960 –> 00:26:01,800
\nme.
\nThat is to be ruler in Israel, <\/p>\n

360
\n00:26:02,280 –> 00:26:05,120
\nwhose goings forth.
\nEarlier in the week we said, it <\/p>\n

361
\n00:26:05,120 –> 00:26:10,120
\nmeans to spring, or to send out
\nwhose going forth or spring from<\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:10,120 –> 00:26:14,960
\nof old from everlasting.
\nTherefore will he give them up <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:15,120 –> 00:26:19,000
\nuntil the time that she which
\nprevaileth travaileth hath <\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:19,000 –> 00:26:23,080
\nbrought forth.
\nThen the remnant of his brethren<\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:23,080 –> 00:26:27,680
\nshall return unto the children
\nof Israel, and he, Jesus, shall <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:27,680 –> 00:26:31,520
\nstand and feed in the strength
\nof the Lord, in the majesty of <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:31,520 –> 00:26:36,160
\nthe name of the Lord his God,
\nand he shall abide, for now <\/p>\n

368
\n00:26:36,160 –> 00:26:38,960
\nshall he be great unto the ends
\nof the earth. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:26:39,600 –> 00:26:44,680
\nAnd this man like Hezekiah,
\nshall be the peace, when the <\/p>\n

370
\n00:26:44,680 –> 00:26:47,440
\nAssyrian shall come into our
\nland. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:26:48,520 –> 00:26:51,160
\nVerse 6.
\nAnd they shall waste the land of<\/p>\n

372
\n00:26:51,160 –> 00:26:54,840
\nAssyria with the sword, and the
\nland of Nimrod in the entrances <\/p>\n

373
\n00:26:54,840 –> 00:26:58,640
\nthereof.
\nThus shall He deliver us from <\/p>\n

374
\n00:26:58,640 –> 00:27:02,800
\nthe Assyrian when he cometh into
\nour land, when he treadeth <\/p>\n

375
\n00:27:02,800 –> 00:27:05,360
\nwithin our borders.
\nWho is this? <\/p>\n

376
\n00:27:05,360 –> 00:27:09,760
\nBrothers and sisters?
\nIt’s the one born in Bethlehem. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:10,480 –> 00:27:13,840
\nIt’s the one who shall be our
\npeace when the latter day <\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:13,840 –> 00:27:18,320
\nAssyrian comes into the land of
\nold, the land of Israel. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:19,680 –> 00:27:23,480
\nTaking Ezekiel 38 and the
\nlanguage of the hooks in the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:23,480 –> 00:27:28,040
\nJaws, the language of Micah
\nchapter 5, describing this <\/p>\n

381
\n00:27:28,040 –> 00:27:32,240
\nnorthern invader Gog as a latter
\nday Assyrian, and bringing with <\/p>\n

382
\n00:27:32,240 –> 00:27:37,320
\nit the language of Isaiah 37 and
\na passage in Second Kings. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:27:37,760 –> 00:27:41,840
\nA picture form showing us
\nclearly that once again the <\/p>\n

384
\n00:27:41,840 –> 00:27:46,600
\nevents in Hezekiah’s day, the
\nbackdrop for much of Isaiah’s <\/p>\n

385
\n00:27:46,600 –> 00:27:51,880
\nprophecy only is a microcosm of
\nsomething on a much grander <\/p>\n

386
\n00:27:51,880 –> 00:27:54,440
\nscale.
\nAnd we suggest that a careful <\/p>\n

387
\n00:27:54,440 –> 00:27:59,400
\nexamination of this Assyrian
\ncrisis and the movement of the <\/p>\n

388
\n00:27:59,400 –> 00:28:04,280
\nAssyrian himself is perhaps a
\nkind of blueprint that should <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:04,280 –> 00:28:08,320
\nguide us into an understanding
\nof how these events shall stack <\/p>\n

390
\n00:28:08,320 –> 00:28:12,720
\nup in the latter days when we
\nhave once again an Assyrian in <\/p>\n

391
\n00:28:12,720 –> 00:28:15,480
\nthe land.
\nWell, we could explore that much<\/p>\n

392
\n00:28:15,480 –> 00:28:19,080
\nfurther.
\nIt’s to show us how valuable it <\/p>\n

393
\n00:28:19,080 –> 00:28:22,880
\nis to watch for these
\nconnections and to use them as <\/p>\n

394
\n00:28:22,880 –> 00:28:25,880
\nkeys for an understanding of
\nfuture events. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:28:27,480 –> 00:28:34,080
\nBack to Isaiah 37, for there’s
\nmore here that opens doors <\/p>\n

396
\n00:28:34,080 –> 00:28:44,800
\nthrough the prophecy.
\nIsaiah 37, we ended verse 29, I <\/p>\n

397
\n00:28:44,800 –> 00:28:48,280
\nwill turn thee back.
\nExactly what is said in Ezekiel <\/p>\n

398
\n00:28:48,280 –> 00:28:51,400
\n38.
\nI will turn thee back by the <\/p>\n

399
\n00:28:51,400 –> 00:28:55,120
\nway, by which thou camest.
\nSo perhaps in your margin at <\/p>\n

400
\n00:28:55,120 –> 00:28:59,120
\nverse 29 you want to write in
\nEzekiel 38, verses 1-2 and <\/p>\n

401
\n00:28:59,120 –> 00:29:03,000
\nthree.
\nThen verse 30 we move on to a <\/p>\n

402
\n00:29:03,000 –> 00:29:08,200
\nsign.
\nThis is one of four signs given <\/p>\n

403
\n00:29:08,200 –> 00:29:14,880
\nto Hezekiah, verse 30.
\nThis shall be a sign unto thee. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:29:15,680 –> 00:29:21,080
\nYe shall eat this year such as
\ngroweth of itself, and the <\/p>\n

405
\n00:29:21,080 –> 00:29:24,040
\nsecond year that which springeth
\nof the same. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:29:24,560 –> 00:29:30,200
\nAnd in the third year sow ye and
\nreap, and plant vineyards, and <\/p>\n

407
\n00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:34,840
\neat the fruit thereof.
\nAnd the remnant that is escaped <\/p>\n

408
\n00:29:34,840 –> 00:29:38,800
\nto the House of Judah shall
\nagain take root downward and <\/p>\n

409
\n00:29:38,800 –> 00:29:43,440
\nbear fruit upward.
\nOnce again we ask ourselves, <\/p>\n

410
\n00:29:44,240 –> 00:29:46,680
\nwhat is the source of this
\nlanguage? <\/p>\n

411
\n00:29:47,360 –> 00:29:50,760
\nWhere have we heard this kind of
\nlanguage before in the Old <\/p>\n

412
\n00:29:50,760 –> 00:29:53,520
\nTestament?
\nThis reference to fruitfulness, <\/p>\n

413
\n00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:59,200
\nthe promise of a blessing of
\nharvest, the mention of the 1st <\/p>\n

414
\n00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:03,360
\nand 2nd and 3rd year, well, some
\nmargins will tip you off that <\/p>\n

415
\n00:30:03,360 –> 00:30:08,040
\nthe background for this is
\nLeviticus 25, Speaking of the <\/p>\n

416
\n00:30:08,040 –> 00:30:11,520
\nyear of Jubilee and the Sabbath
\nyears. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:30:12,120 –> 00:30:16,600
\nSo we pause, put a marker there
\nand go back to Leviticus 25. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:30:16,960 –> 00:30:20,400
\nI’d like just to survey that
\nchapter for a moment and pick <\/p>\n

419
\n00:30:20,400 –> 00:30:22,920
\nout some of the key thoughts and
\nterms. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:30:23,960 –> 00:30:27,920
\nLeviticus 25 and I think we’ll
\nprove, we’ll find that it’s very<\/p>\n

421
\n00:30:27,920 –> 00:30:32,920
\nuseful for Isaiah’s prophecy.
\nBack we go to Leviticus 25. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:30:37,080 –> 00:30:41,160
\nI project you read the chapter
\nwhen you’ve time in detail to <\/p>\n

423
\n00:30:41,160 –> 00:30:44,960
\nget the full context.
\nLet’s just pick out these key <\/p>\n

424
\n00:30:44,960 –> 00:30:52,160
\nideas as they have a relation to
\nIsaiah 37, verse 2. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:30:53,160 –> 00:30:57,520
\nMoses is told, Speak unto the
\nchildren of Israel, and say unto<\/p>\n

426
\n00:30:57,520 –> 00:31:02,480
\nthem, When ye come into the land
\nwhich I give you, then shall the<\/p>\n

427
\n00:31:02,480 –> 00:31:05,360
\nland keep a Sabbath unto the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:31:06,320 –> 00:31:09,400
\nSix years thou shalt, so thy
\nfeel. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:31:09,400 –> 00:31:13,480
\nNow listen carefully to those
\nwords that run parallel to <\/p>\n

430
\n00:31:13,480 –> 00:31:18,560
\nIsaiah. 6 years thou shalt so
\nthy feel, and six years thou <\/p>\n

431
\n00:31:18,680 –> 00:31:23,040
\nshalt through thy vineyard.
\nBut in the seventh year shall be<\/p>\n

432
\n00:31:23,040 –> 00:31:27,280
\na Sabbath of rest unto the land,
\na Sabbath for the Lord. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:31:27,680 –> 00:31:31,320
\nThou shalt neither sow thy field
\nnor prune thy vineyards. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:31:32,000 –> 00:31:37,400
\nThat which groweth of its own
\naccord of thy harvest thou shalt<\/p>\n

435
\n00:31:37,400 –> 00:31:42,040
\nnot reap, neither gather the
\ngrapes of thy vine undressed. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:31:42,160 –> 00:31:48,920
\nFor it is a year of rest when we
\ncome down and expand that a <\/p>\n

437
\n00:31:48,920 –> 00:31:53,600
\nlittle more.
\nRead over here now to verse 18. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:31:54,440 –> 00:31:58,200
\nWherefore ye shall do my
\nstatutes, and keep my judgments,<\/p>\n

439
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:01,160
\nand do them.
\nAnd ye shall dwell in the land <\/p>\n

440
\n00:32:01,160 –> 00:32:06,320
\nin safety, and the land shall
\nyield her fruit, and ye shall <\/p>\n

441
\n00:32:06,320 –> 00:32:09,440
\neat your fill, and dwell therein
\nin safety. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:32:10,200 –> 00:32:16,520
\nNow God anticipates a question.
\nVerse 20 And if ye shall say, <\/p>\n

443
\n00:32:17,360 –> 00:32:22,440
\nWhat shall we eat the 7th year,
\nbehold, we shall not sow nor <\/p>\n

444
\n00:32:22,440 –> 00:32:25,760
\ngather in our increase.
\nGood question, God says. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:32:26,160 –> 00:32:30,960
\nAnd the answer.
\nVerse 21 then says, God, I will <\/p>\n

446
\n00:32:30,960 –> 00:32:35,760
\ncommand my blessing upon you in
\nthe sixth year, and it shall <\/p>\n

447
\n00:32:35,760 –> 00:32:39,280
\nbring forth fruit for three
\nyears. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:32:40,920 –> 00:32:45,200
\nNow that means the harvest in
\nthat year would be bountiful <\/p>\n

449
\n00:32:45,200 –> 00:32:51,200
\nenough to carry them over for
\nthree years, not 3 full years. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:56,480
\nIn fact, why does it say that?
\nBecause the land is to rest in <\/p>\n

451
\n00:32:56,480 –> 00:33:01,960
\nthe seventh year, so that when
\nthe 7th year is over, what must <\/p>\n

452
\n00:33:01,960 –> 00:33:06,040
\nthey do?
\nThey must sow and then after <\/p>\n

453
\n00:33:06,040 –> 00:33:10,160
\nsowing, they must wait through
\nthat year before the harvest <\/p>\n

454
\n00:33:10,160 –> 00:33:13,160
\ncomes.
\nAnd it must be a good enough <\/p>\n

455
\n00:33:13,160 –> 00:33:16,440
\nharvest, brothers and sisters,
\nto provide them food and ample <\/p>\n

456
\n00:33:16,440 –> 00:33:21,360
\nseed for the next sowing.
\nSo there’s about a three-year <\/p>\n

457
\n00:33:21,480 –> 00:33:26,760
\nperiod here related to the time
\nof rest in the land in the <\/p>\n

458
\n00:33:26,760 –> 00:33:28,680
\noperation of these Sabbath
\nyears. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:34,480
\nAnd God is saying, I promise in
\nthat sixth year to give you <\/p>\n

460
\n00:33:34,480 –> 00:33:38,880
\nsufficient to carry you over
\nalmost a three-year period, <\/p>\n

461
\n00:33:39,480 –> 00:33:43,240
\nenough seed and enough fruit to
\nlook after you. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:33:43,480 –> 00:33:46,320
\nIt’s my promise if you’ll
\nrespond in faith. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:33:47,720 –> 00:33:51,760
\nNow that’s the background beyond
\nany shadow of a doubt in those <\/p>\n

464
\n00:33:51,760 –> 00:33:54,880
\nwords in Isaiah, of those words
\nin Isaiah 37. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:33:55,360 –> 00:33:58,040
\nWhat’s it saying to Hezekiah and
\nthe people? <\/p>\n

466
\n00:33:58,800 –> 00:34:04,040
\nIt’s a promise that at the end
\nof the Assyrian crisis, this <\/p>\n

467
\n00:34:04,040 –> 00:34:08,920
\nwill be a sign.
\nI will bless you with the terms <\/p>\n

468
\n00:34:08,920 –> 00:34:11,840
\nof blessing from the Sabbath
\nyear. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:34:12,760 –> 00:34:16,560
\nIt’s a promise that the remnant
\nthat had stayed with Hezekiah <\/p>\n

470
\n00:34:16,880 –> 00:34:20,080
\nand would come out into that
\ncity would be blessed with <\/p>\n

471
\n00:34:20,080 –> 00:34:23,120
\nfruitfulness.
\nBut first they would be carried <\/p>\n

472
\n00:34:23,120 –> 00:34:27,080
\nthrough sufficiently.
\nAnd the promise is in terms of <\/p>\n

473
\n00:34:27,080 –> 00:34:30,280
\nthe Jubilee or the Sabbath
\nlanguage, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:34:31,120 –> 00:34:35,360
\nNow taking another look here at
\nLeviticus 25, pick up some of <\/p>\n

475
\n00:34:35,360 –> 00:34:37,800
\nthe keywords in this whole
\ncontext. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:34:38,960 –> 00:34:46,040
\nVerse one mention of a Sabbath.
\nVerse 5, a rest year, a year of <\/p>\n

477
\n00:34:46,040 –> 00:34:50,679
\nrest, key idea, rest course.
\nIt’s married with the idea of <\/p>\n

478
\n00:34:50,679 –> 00:34:54,120
\nSabbath.
\nThen in this context of the <\/p>\n

479
\n00:34:54,120 –> 00:34:57,880
\nSabbath year’s reckoning, the
\njubilee is introduced in verse <\/p>\n

480
\n00:34:57,880 –> 00:35:05,600
\nnine. 7 * 749 years marked out,
\nand at the end a jubilee marked <\/p>\n

481
\n00:35:05,600 –> 00:35:10,040
\nin verse 9 by a trumpet.
\nAnd when the jubilee is to be <\/p>\n

482
\n00:35:10,040 –> 00:35:14,320
\nmarked at the end of seven
\nsevens, it shall be in <\/p>\n

483
\n00:35:14,320 –> 00:35:17,640
\nconjunction with the Day of
\nAtonement, Verse 9. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:35:18,280 –> 00:35:22,160
\nThou shalt pause the trumpet of
\nthe jubilee to sound on the 10th<\/p>\n

485
\n00:35:22,160 –> 00:35:27,600
\nday of the 7th month in the day
\nof Atonement, and he shall make <\/p>\n

486
\n00:35:27,600 –> 00:35:30,160
\nthe trumpet sound throughout all
\nyour land. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:35:30,960 –> 00:35:36,160
\nSo a trumpet, the day of
\nAtonement, Sabbath rest, verse <\/p>\n

488
\n00:35:36,160 –> 00:35:40,760
\n10, proclaim liberty throughout
\nall the land. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:35:41,560 –> 00:35:44,960
\nAt the end of verse 10,
\nassurance that they shall return<\/p>\n

490
\n00:35:44,960 –> 00:35:49,280
\nto their possessions.
\nThen other key terms. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:35:49,600 –> 00:35:54,080
\nVerse 25, the word redeem is
\nintroduced in this context. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:35:54,640 –> 00:35:59,640
\nMiddle of verse 25, redeem.
\nAnd verse 26, If a man shall <\/p>\n

493
\n00:35:59,640 –> 00:36:03,520
\nhave none to redeem it, and
\nhimself be able to redeem it, <\/p>\n

494
\n00:36:03,560 –> 00:36:08,720
\nand so on, then elsewhere in the
\nchapter concern about the poor. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:36:08,880 –> 00:36:12,720
\nVerse 35.
\nAnd if thy brother be wax and <\/p>\n

496
\n00:36:12,720 –> 00:36:17,040
\npoor, and fallen in decay, such
\nand such shall be provided for <\/p>\n

497
\n00:36:17,040 –> 00:36:20,720
\nhim.
\nVerse 39 The idea of being a <\/p>\n

498
\n00:36:20,720 –> 00:36:24,680
\nprisoner, or being sold in
\nbondage, is brought to our <\/p>\n

499
\n00:36:24,680 –> 00:36:28,440
\nattention.
\nFor verse 39, If thy brother <\/p>\n

500
\n00:36:28,440 –> 00:36:33,160
\nthat dwelleth by thee be wax and
\npoor, and be sold unto thee, <\/p>\n

501
\n00:36:33,880 –> 00:36:37,240
\nthou shalt not compel him to
\nserve as a bondservant. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:36:37,880 –> 00:36:43,240
\nNow the terms in this context of
\nthat of a jubilee, and that of <\/p>\n

503
\n00:36:43,240 –> 00:36:47,720
\nthe promise of promised blessing
\nand fruitfulness, stack up one <\/p>\n

504
\n00:36:47,720 –> 00:36:49,720
\nafter another, about 10 key
\nterms. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:36:50,280 –> 00:36:56,840
\nSabbath rest, a trumpet,
\natonement, liberty, returning, <\/p>\n

506
\n00:36:57,320 –> 00:37:01,200
\npossessing, redeeming and being
\nredeemed. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:37:01,680 –> 00:37:06,280
\nConcern for the poor, for those
\nwho were sold, for those who are<\/p>\n

508
\n00:37:06,280 –> 00:37:10,360
\nin bonds.
\nAt least 10 key terms. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:37:11,200 –> 00:37:15,000
\nNow brothers and sisters, when
\nyou go through Isaiah beyond <\/p>\n

510
\n00:37:15,000 –> 00:37:19,840
\nchapter 37, you see that
\nalthough Hezekiah and his people<\/p>\n

511
\n00:37:20,200 –> 00:37:26,880
\nexperienced a kind of 7th year
\nblessing, there was also <\/p>\n

512
\n00:37:26,920 –> 00:37:32,800
\nexperienced in that a kind of
\nJubilee experience for those who<\/p>\n

513
\n00:37:32,800 –> 00:37:35,120
\nwere within the walls were
\nliberated. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:37:36,240 –> 00:37:40,560
\nThere had indeed been a Sabbath
\nor a rest within those walls <\/p>\n

515
\n00:37:40,880 –> 00:37:43,000
\nfrom the bondage of the
\nAssyrian. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:37:44,160 –> 00:37:48,080
\nThe mention of a trumpet is
\nmentioned elsewhere in Isaiah in<\/p>\n

517
\n00:37:48,080 –> 00:37:50,560
\nJubilee terms.
\nWe’ll notice that in a moment. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:37:51,560 –> 00:37:54,720
\nTerms that relate to an
\natonement are referred to in <\/p>\n

519
\n00:37:54,720 –> 00:37:59,080
\nIsaiah’s prophecy, often in
\nthose passages that speak of <\/p>\n

520
\n00:37:59,080 –> 00:38:04,280
\nliberation and freedom, the
\npromise of returning the remnant<\/p>\n

521
\n00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:08,600
\nof possessing their possessions
\nthat were rightly theirs, the <\/p>\n

522
\n00:38:08,600 –> 00:38:13,240
\npromise of being redeemed,
\nconcern for the poor and those <\/p>\n

523
\n00:38:13,240 –> 00:38:16,920
\nwho had been sold, and those who
\nhad become bond servants. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:38:17,720 –> 00:38:19,920
\nAll of the.
\nLanguage surrounding these few <\/p>\n

525
\n00:38:19,920 –> 00:38:25,200
\nverses in Isaiah 37 are built on
\nelsewhere in the restoration <\/p>\n

526
\n00:38:25,200 –> 00:38:30,520
\npassages, so let’s look for a
\nsample using this as a key to an<\/p>\n

527
\n00:38:30,520 –> 00:38:34,360
\nunderstanding of what it meant
\nto Hezekiah and the remnant with<\/p>\n

528
\n00:38:34,360 –> 00:38:36,360
\nhim, and then further in the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:38:36,800 –> 00:38:43,320
\nIsaiah 35A restoration passage,
\nbut words that hearken back to <\/p>\n

530
\n00:38:43,320 –> 00:38:46,840
\nthe terms of the Sabbath year,
\nblessings and the terms of <\/p>\n

531
\n00:38:46,840 –> 00:38:51,280
\njubilee.
\nIsaiah 35. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:38:53,960 –> 00:38:58,800
\nNotice the terms of blessing and
\nfruitfulness from that which had<\/p>\n

533
\n00:38:58,800 –> 00:39:01,720
\nbeen waste, that which was dry
\nwithout hope. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:39:02,200 –> 00:39:05,080
\nVerse one.
\nThe wilderness in the solitary <\/p>\n

535
\n00:39:05,080 –> 00:39:10,160
\nplace shall be glad for them,
\nand the desert shall rejoice and<\/p>\n

536
\n00:39:10,160 –> 00:39:12,880
\nblossom as the Rose.
\nVerse 2. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:39:13,200 –> 00:39:15,640
\nPromises of fruitfulness and
\nblessing. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:39:16,040 –> 00:39:19,800
\nCaramel means fruitfulness down
\nto verse 10. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:39:19,840 –> 00:39:23,240
\nThis is the key one.
\nWell, verse 9, perhaps for <\/p>\n

540
\n00:39:23,240 –> 00:39:28,080
\ncontext, no lion shall be there,
\nnor any ravenous beast shall go <\/p>\n

541
\n00:39:28,120 –> 00:39:32,520
\nup thereon.
\nIt shall not be found there, but<\/p>\n

542
\n00:39:33,000 –> 00:39:37,120
\nthe redeemed shall walk there.
\nVerse 10. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:39:37,360 –> 00:39:43,880
\nAnd the ransomed of the Lord
\nshall return, and come to Zion <\/p>\n

544
\n00:39:44,240 –> 00:39:47,320
\nwith songs and everlasting joy
\nupon their heads. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:39:47,680 –> 00:39:51,320
\nThey shall obtain joy and
\ngladness and sorrow and sighing <\/p>\n

546
\n00:39:51,320 –> 00:39:56,080
\nshall flee away.
\nHere language that promises <\/p>\n

547
\n00:39:56,160 –> 00:40:01,200
\nfruitfulness, the blessings of
\nGod’s goodness, the promise <\/p>\n

548
\n00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:05,560
\nthough of liberation and
\nfreedom, the promise of the <\/p>\n

549
\n00:40:05,560 –> 00:40:10,840
\nransomed being liberated and
\nfreed, those who now can return <\/p>\n

550
\n00:40:10,840 –> 00:40:14,440
\nand come to Zion.
\nThe promise, brothers and <\/p>\n

551
\n00:40:14,440 –> 00:40:17,760
\nsisters of a future kind of
\njubilee. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:40:18,840 –> 00:40:22,120
\nLet’s go elsewhere.
\nIsaiah chapter 58. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:40:23,600 –> 00:40:31,120
\nMany have noticed that the terms
\nin Isaiah 58 contain a kind of <\/p>\n

554
\n00:40:32,000 –> 00:40:36,240
\ndouble strand.
\nMany of the terms in Isaiah 58 <\/p>\n

555
\n00:40:36,240 –> 00:40:41,280
\nhearken back to the Day of
\nAtonement, but also many of the <\/p>\n

556
\n00:40:41,280 –> 00:40:47,160
\nterms in Isaiah 58 hearken back
\nto the days of Jubilee, and <\/p>\n

557
\n00:40:47,160 –> 00:40:50,080
\nthey’re not disassociated.
\nRemember. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:40:50,080 –> 00:40:56,680
\nLeviticus 25 talks about the
\nJubilee being pronounced in <\/p>\n

559
\n00:40:56,680 –> 00:41:00,520
\nconjunction with the Day of
\nAtonement for that year. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:41:01,160 –> 00:41:06,240
\nSo thoughts related to Jubilee
\nand thoughts related to the Day <\/p>\n

561
\n00:41:06,240 –> 00:41:09,760
\nof Atonement are actually
\nmarried together in Leviticus <\/p>\n

562
\n00:41:09,760 –> 00:41:14,400
\n25, and thus there’s two strands
\nrunning through the language of <\/p>\n

563
\n00:41:14,400 –> 00:41:18,560
\nIsaiah 58.
\nFirst, notice the trumpet, verse<\/p>\n

564
\n00:41:18,560 –> 00:41:27,520
\none, Cry aloud, spare not, lift
\nup thy voice like a trumpet, and<\/p>\n

565
\n00:41:27,520 –> 00:41:30,720
\nshow my people their
\ntransgression, and the House of <\/p>\n

566
\n00:41:30,720 –> 00:41:34,120
\nJacob their sins.
\nAnd what’s the promise? <\/p>\n

567
\n00:41:34,120 –> 00:41:37,200
\nWhat’s the hope?
\nWell, here’s how it ought to be <\/p>\n

568
\n00:41:37,200 –> 00:41:38,680
\nviewed.
\nVerse 6. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:41:38,840 –> 00:41:40,800
\nNow in the language of the
\nSabbath. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:41:41,960 –> 00:41:46,960
\nVerse 6 Is not this the fast
\nthat I have chosen to loose the <\/p>\n

571
\n00:41:46,960 –> 00:41:50,080
\nbands of wickedness?
\nRemember freedom from bondage, <\/p>\n

572
\n00:41:50,960 –> 00:41:55,880
\nto undo the heavy burdens, and
\nto let the oppressed go free. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:41:56,240 –> 00:41:59,600
\nDid she break every yolk?
\nThe one who was in bondage was <\/p>\n

574
\n00:41:59,600 –> 00:42:01,880
\nto be liberated.
\nLeviticus 25. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:42:02,400 –> 00:42:07,080
\nIs it not to deal thy bread to
\nthe hungry, and that thou bring <\/p>\n

576
\n00:42:07,080 –> 00:42:09,920
\nthe poor that are cast out to
\nthy house? <\/p>\n

577
\n00:42:10,400 –> 00:42:14,720
\nThe concern about the poor.
\nLeviticus 25 Again, when thou <\/p>\n

578
\n00:42:14,720 –> 00:42:18,520
\nseest the naked, that thou cover
\nhim, and that thou hide not <\/p>\n

579
\n00:42:18,520 –> 00:42:23,160
\nthyself from thine own flesh,
\nthen we come down to liberation.<\/p>\n

580
\n00:42:23,160 –> 00:42:27,600
\nAgain in verse 9 Then shalt thou
\ncall, and the Lord shall answer,<\/p>\n

581
\n00:42:28,080 –> 00:42:31,560
\nthou shalt cry, and he shall
\nsay, Here I am. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:42:32,600 –> 00:42:36,920
\nIf thou take away from the midst
\nof thee the yoke, the putting <\/p>\n

583
\n00:42:36,920 –> 00:42:40,840
\nforth of the finger, and
\nspeaking vanity, if thou draw <\/p>\n

584
\n00:42:40,840 –> 00:42:45,640
\nout thy soul to the hungry, and
\nsatisfy the afflicted soul, then<\/p>\n

585
\n00:42:45,640 –> 00:42:49,040
\nshall thy light rise in
\nobscurity, and the darkness be <\/p>\n

586
\n00:42:49,040 –> 00:42:52,120
\nas the noonday.
\nNow the language of fruitfulness<\/p>\n

587
\n00:42:52,160 –> 00:42:54,320
\nand blessing.
\nVerse 11. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:42:54,880 –> 00:42:58,800
\nThe Lord shall guide thee
\ncontinually, and satisfy thy <\/p>\n

589
\n00:42:58,800 –> 00:43:02,520
\nsoul in drought, and make fat
\nthy bones. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:43:02,760 –> 00:43:06,880
\nAnd thou shalt be like a watered
\ngarden, and like a spring of <\/p>\n

591
\n00:43:06,880 –> 00:43:14,000
\nwater, whose waters fail not.
\nVerse 12 And they shall be, and <\/p>\n

592
\n00:43:14,000 –> 00:43:18,080
\nthey that shall be of thee shall
\nbuild the old waste places <\/p>\n

593
\n00:43:18,360 –> 00:43:21,600
\nrejuvenation.
\nThou shalt raise up the <\/p>\n

594
\n00:43:21,600 –> 00:43:24,720
\nfoundations of many generations
\nrestoration. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:43:25,240 –> 00:43:30,840
\nAnd thou shalt be called the
\nrepairer of the breach, the <\/p>\n

596
\n00:43:30,840 –> 00:43:36,240
\nrestorer of paths to dwell in.
\nAnd then in verse 13, the <\/p>\n

597
\n00:43:36,240 –> 00:43:40,840
\nprophet merges into the language
\nof a true Sabbath, a Sabbath <\/p>\n

598
\n00:43:41,400 –> 00:43:46,040
\nliberation, concern for those
\nwho were poor and needy, concern<\/p>\n

599
\n00:43:46,040 –> 00:43:50,640
\nabout liberation from bondage,
\nand if done properly, the <\/p>\n

600
\n00:43:50,640 –> 00:43:55,800
\npromise of God’s restoration,
\nhealth and blessing for <\/p>\n

601
\n00:43:55,800 –> 00:44:01,440
\nfruitfulness and all introduced
\nby the blast of a trumpet. 58 <\/p>\n

602
\n00:44:01,440 –> 00:44:07,080
\nverse one, and the mention of
\nsin and transgression in terms <\/p>\n

603
\n00:44:07,080 –> 00:44:11,320
\nof the day of Atonement
\nannounced by that trumpet sound.<\/p>\n

604
\n00:44:12,040 –> 00:44:15,480
\nHe’s seen, brothers and sisters,
\nas you look at these restoration<\/p>\n

605
\n00:44:15,480 –> 00:44:20,640
\npassages in Isaiah, his people
\nknew what a jubilee was, as it <\/p>\n

606
\n00:44:20,640 –> 00:44:25,000
\nwere, or the promise of a
\nSabbath blessing, The 7th year <\/p>\n

607
\n00:44:25,000 –> 00:44:29,200
\nSabbath blessing given on the
\n6th insurance that if they were <\/p>\n

608
\n00:44:29,200 –> 00:44:33,680
\nfaithful would walk in His ways,
\nGod would bless them. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:44:34,280 –> 00:44:39,360
\nSo that when Isaiah and his
\npeople heard these words, Isaiah<\/p>\n

610
\n00:44:39,360 –> 00:44:42,480
\n37.
\nThis shall be a sign unto thee, <\/p>\n

611
\n00:44:42,840 –> 00:44:47,920
\nye shall eat of this year such
\nas groweth of itself, and the <\/p>\n

612
\n00:44:47,920 –> 00:44:50,680
\nsecond year that which springeth
\nof the same. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:44:50,800 –> 00:44:55,480
\nIt’ll carry you through.
\nAnd in the. 3rd year sow ye and <\/p>\n

614
\n00:44:55,480 –> 00:44:59,280
\nreap, and plant vineyards, and
\neat the fruit thereof. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:44:59,680 –> 00:45:03,960
\nThey were being told in the
\nterms of Leviticus 25. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:45:04,560 –> 00:45:08,600
\nGod would bless them if they
\nwere faithful, and they would <\/p>\n

617
\n00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:12,440
\nexperience a Sabbath year
\nblessing such as they’d never <\/p>\n

618
\n00:45:12,440 –> 00:45:14,520
\nknown.
\nVerse 31. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:45:15,120 –> 00:45:19,200
\nAnd the remnant that is escaped
\nof the House of Judah, those <\/p>\n

620
\n00:45:19,200 –> 00:45:23,200
\nwho’ve been liberated shall
\nagain take root downward and <\/p>\n

621
\n00:45:23,200 –> 00:45:27,960
\nbear fruit upward.
\nSuch a beautiful Old Testament <\/p>\n

622
\n00:45:27,960 –> 00:45:32,760
\ncontext, giving such concrete
\nmeaning to the promises <\/p>\n

623
\n00:45:32,760 –> 00:45:36,240
\nexperienced in the days of
\nHezekiah after the Assyrian <\/p>\n

624
\n00:45:36,240 –> 00:45:39,320
\ncrisis.
\nOne of us brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

625
\n00:45:39,840 –> 00:45:42,760
\nhe has showered upon us
\nblessings. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:45:43,400 –> 00:45:47,360
\nWe have the promise of the
\nfuture age, no matter how <\/p>\n

627
\n00:45:47,360 –> 00:45:52,120
\ndifficult our various trials
\nare, no matter how many <\/p>\n

628
\n00:45:52,120 –> 00:45:56,280
\ndistresses we have at home in
\nthe domestic scene, no matter <\/p>\n

629
\n00:45:56,280 –> 00:45:59,160
\nhow many disappointments we
\nmight experience in our <\/p>\n

630
\n00:45:59,160 –> 00:46:02,640
\necclesial life and in our own
\npersonal lack of health. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:46:02,640 –> 00:46:08,840
\nAt times, as Hezekiah well knew,
\nno matter how we may feel like <\/p>\n

632
\n00:46:08,840 –> 00:46:13,560
\nlooking at the wall and feeling
\nthat we were down by the bars of<\/p>\n

633
\n00:46:13,560 –> 00:46:18,240
\ndeath, there is hope.
\nThere is always the vision of a <\/p>\n

634
\n00:46:18,240 –> 00:46:21,960
\nbetter day.
\nLet us take heart, brothers and <\/p>\n

635
\n00:46:21,960 –> 00:46:25,880
\nsisters, at those people with
\nHezekiah, in the pressure <\/p>\n

636
\n00:46:26,120 –> 00:46:31,120
\nexperienced within their walls,
\nwhen everything looked so dismal<\/p>\n

637
\n00:46:31,520 –> 00:46:35,240
\nand their king was sick nigh on
\nto death in the critical hour, <\/p>\n

638
\n00:46:35,880 –> 00:46:41,600
\nthere was nevertheless a spring,
\na spring of righteousness, a <\/p>\n

639
\n00:46:41,600 –> 00:46:46,000
\nspring of refreshing water,
\nconstantly an assurance of God’s<\/p>\n

640
\n00:46:46,000 –> 00:46:49,200
\nblessing.
\nThere was always the hope of a <\/p>\n

641
\n00:46:49,200 –> 00:46:54,720
\nbrighter vision in the future,
\nthe promise of a jubilee of a <\/p>\n

642
\n00:46:54,720 –> 00:46:59,440
\nSabbath rest, the hope of being
\nfinally liberated and <\/p>\n

643
\n00:46:59,440 –> 00:47:03,600
\nexperiencing the freedom of one
\nwho could walk in the ways of <\/p>\n

644
\n00:47:03,600 –> 00:47:06,680
\nholiness.
\nNever let us think that we have <\/p>\n

645
\n00:47:06,680 –> 00:47:10,480
\nit too bad or that others have
\nnot walked in our steps. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:47:10,840 –> 00:47:14,120
\nWe’ve never yet walked in these
\nkind of conditions. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:47:15,080 –> 00:47:17,320
\nIt’s a source of hope and
\nstrength. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:47:17,840 –> 00:47:22,440
\nIt’s an encouragement against
\ndespair on those cloudy days. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:47:23,360 –> 00:47:26,600
\nAnd if we are tending to looking
\nat the earth, it’s an <\/p>\n

650
\n00:47:26,600 –> 00:47:28,720
\nencouragement to look up to
\nheaven. <\/p>\n

651
\n00:47:28,760 –> 00:47:34,360
\nBrothers and sisters, the one
\nwho promises himself in Isaiah <\/p>\n

652
\n00:47:35,880 –> 00:47:40,080
\nto be the faithful servant who
\nwill bring ultimately this <\/p>\n

653
\n00:47:40,080 –> 00:47:45,360
\njubilee, this liberation into
\neffect is described, as most of <\/p>\n

654
\n00:47:45,360 –> 00:47:47,600
\nyou know, I’m sure, in Isaiah
\n53. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:47:48,720 –> 00:47:53,640
\nBut Isaiah 53, Brothers and
\nSisters is but a climatic <\/p>\n

656
\n00:47:53,640 –> 00:47:58,440
\nchapter that is part of another
\ntheme running through Isaiah. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:47:59,320 –> 00:48:02,760
\nIf you look up the word in the
\nconcordance, there’s a pattern <\/p>\n

658
\n00:48:02,760 –> 00:48:08,480
\nthat emerges very intriguing.
\nFrom chapters 1 to 40, the term <\/p>\n

659
\n00:48:08,480 –> 00:48:15,960
\nServant singular is only applied
\nto individuals as follows. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:48:16,280 –> 00:48:20,560
\nIsaiah, Eliakim and David all
\ndescribed as God’s servants. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:48:21,240 –> 00:48:26,240
\nThe other uses of servant would
\nbe even apply applying in Isaiah<\/p>\n

662
\n00:48:26,240 –> 00:48:32,760
\n14 to Babylon and his servants.
\nOther references are to other <\/p>\n

663
\n00:48:32,760 –> 00:48:35,320
\nnations or powers.
\nThese would be the personal <\/p>\n

664
\n00:48:35,320 –> 00:48:37,520
\napplications in the first part
\nof Isaiah. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:48:38,200 –> 00:48:43,160
\nNow as you advance from Isaiah
\n40, the hinge of the book, just <\/p>\n

666
\n00:48:43,160 –> 00:48:47,120
\nnotice how the term servant
\nsingular is applied and I have I<\/p>\n

667
\n00:48:47,120 –> 00:48:51,400
\nthink an exhaust list here. 41
\nverse 8 and 9 it applies to <\/p>\n

668
\n00:48:51,400 –> 00:48:57,560
\nIsrael the nation and 42 verse
\none it applies to Messiah 42 and<\/p>\n

669
\n00:48:57,560 –> 00:49:04,200
\n19 to Israel the nation and 43
\nthe nation. 44 numerous <\/p>\n

670
\n00:49:04,200 –> 00:49:09,400
\nreferences Israel the servant as
\na nation. 48 and 20 Israel the <\/p>\n

671
\n00:49:09,400 –> 00:49:13,240
\nnation.
\nThen a congested series that <\/p>\n

672
\n00:49:13,240 –> 00:49:21,920
\napply to Messiah chapter 49,
\nchapter 50, chapter 52, chapter <\/p>\n

673
\n00:49:21,960 –> 00:49:28,200
\n53, the Servant, Messiah the
\nServant, Israel, the Servant, <\/p>\n

674
\n00:49:29,480 –> 00:49:33,200
\nthe singular Servant.
\nBut now here’s something to <\/p>\n

675
\n00:49:33,200 –> 00:49:39,280
\nnote.
\nAfter Isaiah 53, every reference<\/p>\n

676
\n00:49:39,280 –> 00:49:45,000
\nto servant becomes plural.
\nEvery reference to servant <\/p>\n

677
\n00:49:45,000 –> 00:49:50,120
\nbecomes plural after Isaiah 53,
\nand in every case it has no <\/p>\n

678
\n00:49:50,120 –> 00:49:53,800
\nreference to the nations or to
\ntheir slaves or servants, as it <\/p>\n

679
\n00:49:53,800 –> 00:49:55,480
\ndoes in the first part of
\nIsaiah. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:49:55,880 –> 00:49:59,760
\nIt always has reference to the
\nredeemed, either from the nation<\/p>\n

681
\n00:49:59,760 –> 00:50:03,520
\nof Israel or to the Saints
\nthemselves directly. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:50:04,200 –> 00:50:07,080
\nSo there’s a transition at
\nIsaiah 53. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:50:07,760 –> 00:50:14,120
\nWhy there Isaiah 53 ends by
\nmentioning a plural seed. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:50:14,600 –> 00:50:20,840
\nFor the suffering servant shall
\nsee his seed plural and shall be<\/p>\n

685
\n00:50:20,840 –> 00:50:24,120
\nsatisfied.
\nGod shall prolong his days. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:50:24,560 –> 00:50:30,480
\nAnd thus right after Isaiah 53,
\nall references to the servant is<\/p>\n

687
\n00:50:30,480 –> 00:50:37,080
\nplural and we have chapter 54
\nredeemed, the redeemed called <\/p>\n

688
\n00:50:37,080 –> 00:50:42,680
\nthe servants in verse 17, once
\nagain, verse 6 of chapter 56, <\/p>\n

689
\n00:50:43,320 –> 00:50:48,360
\nthen my servants 63 and 17
\napplying it would seem to the <\/p>\n

690
\n00:50:48,360 –> 00:50:52,720
\nnation first of all, 65 and 8,
\nthe nation of Israel. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:50:53,480 –> 00:50:57,240
\nThen in those verses of chapter
\n65, you can see on the overhead <\/p>\n

692
\n00:50:57,600 –> 00:51:01,480
\nthey’re redeemed from the nation
\nof Israel and no doubt having a <\/p>\n

693
\n00:51:01,480 –> 00:51:03,200
\ndouble application to the
\nSaints. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:51:03,600 –> 00:51:06,920
\nAnd that would seem in 66 and 14
\nplural. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:51:06,920 –> 00:51:11,520
\nThe servants there is referring
\nto the redeemed as a whole both <\/p>\n

696
\n00:51:11,520 –> 00:51:14,400
\nfrom the nation of Israel and
\nthe Saints themselves. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:51:16,120 –> 00:51:21,200
\nNow, once that pattern is
\ngrasped, you can take a look at <\/p>\n

698
\n00:51:21,200 –> 00:51:27,200
\nIsaiah’s prophecy and you’ll
\nobserve there are 4 Servant <\/p>\n

699
\n00:51:27,200 –> 00:51:31,920
\nsongs in Isaiah.
\nThe one we are most familiar <\/p>\n

700
\n00:51:31,920 –> 00:51:37,720
\nwith, therefore, in Isaiah 53,
\nwhich begins actually back in <\/p>\n

701
\n00:51:37,720 –> 00:51:44,480
\nchapter 52, is not the only key
\nServant section in Isaiah. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:51:45,440 –> 00:51:48,520
\nI must admit I hadn’t
\nappreciated this myself until we<\/p>\n

703
\n00:51:48,520 –> 00:51:53,080
\nlooked at this in detail.
\nThe Servant Song, as it is <\/p>\n

704
\n00:51:53,080 –> 00:51:59,880
\nsometimes called in Isaiah 53,
\nis but the fourth of four songs.<\/p>\n

705
\n00:52:00,800 –> 00:52:04,560
\nEach of those songs are worth a
\ndetailed examination. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:52:05,240 –> 00:52:10,040
\nEach throw out light on
\ndifferent aspects of the servant<\/p>\n

707
\n00:52:10,080 –> 00:52:15,000
\nMessiah of the nation of Israel
\nto become ultimately his <\/p>\n

708
\n00:52:15,000 –> 00:52:19,640
\nnational servant.
\nAnd most importantly, pictures <\/p>\n

709
\n00:52:20,000 –> 00:52:24,400
\nof the servants, plural, the
\nredeemed, the Saints of God. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:52:25,560 –> 00:52:28,520
\nNow, brothers and sisters, time
\ndoesn’t allow for a careful <\/p>\n

711
\n00:52:28,520 –> 00:52:32,960
\nexamination by any means of
\nthose four servant songs. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:52:34,040 –> 00:52:37,200
\nBut in each of them, brothers
\nand sisters, there is hope. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:52:38,120 –> 00:52:42,880
\nIn each there is the assurance,
\nthe vision of a brighter day to <\/p>\n

714
\n00:52:42,880 –> 00:52:47,280
\ncome.
\nEach promises for all of us, as <\/p>\n

715
\n00:52:47,280 –> 00:52:50,040
\nit promised for the people of
\nHezekiah’s day. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:52:50,640 –> 00:52:55,320
\nThe hope of a jubilee, the hope
\nof promised blessings, <\/p>\n

717
\n00:52:55,920 –> 00:53:00,920
\nliberation from bondage, the
\nopportunity of returning to our <\/p>\n

718
\n00:53:01,000 –> 00:53:06,480
\npossessions, to our spiritual
\ninheritance, the hope of <\/p>\n

719
\n00:53:06,480 –> 00:53:11,120
\nfruitfulness, God’s blessing in
\nour lives, and most importantly,<\/p>\n

720
\n00:53:11,200 –> 00:53:15,720
\nin our salvation.
\nFor each of the servants songs <\/p>\n

721
\n00:53:16,120 –> 00:53:19,640
\nthere are terms which richly
\ndescribe our hope. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:53:20,200 –> 00:53:25,600
\nSo see Isaiah 53, the better
\nknown one against this context, <\/p>\n

723
\n00:53:26,720 –> 00:53:30,640
\nand it helps us to more keenly
\nappreciate that this one that we<\/p>\n

724
\n00:53:30,640 –> 00:53:37,360
\nknow so well is but the climatic
\npicture focused in the servant. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:53:38,040 –> 00:53:43,240
\nFor insomuch as the national
\nservant failed as the servant of<\/p>\n

726
\n00:53:43,240 –> 00:53:47,920
\nGod, Messiah, the Servant
\nsucceeded where the national <\/p>\n

727
\n00:53:47,920 –> 00:53:51,640
\nservant failed.
\nA key idea in these prophecies, <\/p>\n

728
\n00:53:51,640 –> 00:53:56,160
\nbrothers and sisters, the
\nservant failed as a nation, <\/p>\n

729
\n00:53:56,840 –> 00:53:59,840
\nJacob, my servant, whom I have
\ncalled. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:54:00,320 –> 00:54:05,440
\nBut in Jesus, where the national
\nServant fails, we find victory, <\/p>\n

731
\n00:54:05,800 –> 00:54:10,520
\nthe conquering of sin and death.
\nAnd thus the nation that is sick<\/p>\n

732
\n00:54:10,640 –> 00:54:17,080
\nand afflicted in Isaiah 1 is
\ntherefore saved by the Servant <\/p>\n

733
\n00:54:17,080 –> 00:54:23,320
\nin Isaiah 53, who takes upon him
\nthe graphic terms of a kind of <\/p>\n

734
\n00:54:23,320 –> 00:54:26,840
\nleprous individual.
\nNot that he has sinned, but <\/p>\n

735
\n00:54:26,840 –> 00:54:32,480
\ninsofar as he is a sin bearer,
\nhe takes upon him descriptions, <\/p>\n

736
\n00:54:32,480 –> 00:54:36,120
\nas we saw in our second class
\nthis week, descriptions of the <\/p>\n

737
\n00:54:36,120 –> 00:54:39,400
\nsick nation.
\nFor He bears their iniquities, <\/p>\n

738
\n00:54:39,600 –> 00:54:43,920
\nHe bears their sins.
\nFor brothers and sisters, what <\/p>\n

739
\n00:54:43,920 –> 00:54:48,840
\nis a servant but one who helps?
\nWhat is a servant but one who <\/p>\n

740
\n00:54:48,840 –> 00:54:52,240
\nbears burdens?
\nWhat are brothers and sisters <\/p>\n

741
\n00:54:52,240 –> 00:54:58,080
\ntogether as a sheepfold, but
\nfellow servants, the one who in <\/p>\n

742
\n00:54:58,080 –> 00:55:02,000
\nthe upper room, brothers and
\nsisters who knelt down by a <\/p>\n

743
\n00:55:02,000 –> 00:55:07,200
\nbasin, who took an apron and
\ngirded himself and washed the <\/p>\n

744
\n00:55:07,200 –> 00:55:11,280
\nfeet of his disciples, show them
\nwhat it is to be a servant. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:55:11,480 –> 00:55:16,040
\nBrother to brother, sister to
\nsister, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:55:16,040 –> 00:55:21,040
\nWe end on that theme, and let’s
\nread the following passages by <\/p>\n

747
\n00:55:21,040 –> 00:55:23,160
\nway of conclusion.
\nJust a few verses. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:55:24,400 –> 00:55:29,560
\nIsaiah 30.
\nThe thoughts brought together, <\/p>\n

749
\n00:55:29,920 –> 00:55:34,320
\nwe believe, gives us a rounded
\npicture of all that we’ve been <\/p>\n

750
\n00:55:34,320 –> 00:55:38,000
\nconsidering in this past week.
\nThese beautiful and marvelous <\/p>\n

751
\n00:55:38,000 –> 00:55:41,760
\nthemes from Isaiah’s prophecy.
\nHere is our hope. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:55:42,240 –> 00:55:44,720
\nWe’ll just walk through these
\nthree references. <\/p>\n

753
\n00:55:45,560 –> 00:55:51,480
\nIsaiah 30, verse 15.
\nFor thus saith the Lord God to <\/p>\n

754
\n00:55:51,600 –> 00:55:54,360
\nall of us here, the Holy One of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:55:55,240 –> 00:56:01,040
\nHe says to us in returning and
\nrest shall ye be saved. <\/p>\n

756
\n00:56:01,680 –> 00:56:06,880
\nIn quietness and in confidence
\nshall be your strength. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:56:07,120 –> 00:56:13,360
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nChapter 32, verse one, we look <\/p>\n

758
\n00:56:13,360 –> 00:56:15,520
\nforward to this as we leave our
\nschool. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:56:16,160 –> 00:56:21,080
\nCome down the mountain once
\nagain to the land surrounded by <\/p>\n

760
\n00:56:21,080 –> 00:56:23,960
\nAssyria.
\nBehold verse one. <\/p>\n

761
\n00:56:24,000 –> 00:56:28,120
\nA king shall reign in
\nrighteousness, and Princess <\/p>\n

762
\n00:56:28,120 –> 00:56:32,200
\nshall rule in judgement, and a
\nman shall be as an hiding place <\/p>\n

763
\n00:56:32,200 –> 00:56:37,080
\nfrom the wind, and a covert from
\nThe Tempest, as rivers of water <\/p>\n

764
\n00:56:37,080 –> 00:56:42,880
\nin a dry place, as the shadow of
\na great rock in a weary land. <\/p>\n

765
\n00:56:43,240 –> 00:56:46,760
\nThe eyes of them that see shall
\nnot be dim, and the ears of them<\/p>\n

766
\n00:56:46,760 –> 00:56:54,080
\nthat hear shall hearken.
\nAnd finally, chapter 33, a <\/p>\n

767
\n00:56:54,080 –> 00:56:56,680
\nwarning and an exhortation to
\nall of us. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:56:56,720 –> 00:57:02,080
\nVerse 14, as those who wish to
\npass through our own crises. <\/p>\n

769
\n00:57:02,600 –> 00:57:07,560
\nVerse 14, The sinners in Zion
\nare afraid, fearfulness have <\/p>\n

770
\n00:57:07,560 –> 00:57:11,960
\nsurprised the hypocrites.
\nWho among us shall dwell with <\/p>\n

771
\n00:57:11,960 –> 00:57:15,560
\nthe devouring fire?
\nWho among us shall dwell with <\/p>\n

772
\n00:57:15,560 –> 00:57:20,520
\neverlasting burnings?
\nWho he that walketh righteously <\/p>\n

773
\n00:57:20,800 –> 00:57:24,800
\nand speaketh uprightly, He that
\ndespiseth the gain of <\/p>\n

774
\n00:57:24,800 –> 00:57:28,520
\noppressions, that shaketh his
\nhands from holding of bribes, <\/p>\n

775
\n00:57:29,000 –> 00:57:32,480
\nthat stoppeth his ears from
\nhearing of blood, and shutteth <\/p>\n

776
\n00:57:32,480 –> 00:57:36,240
\nhis eyes from seeing evil, he
\nshall dwell on high. <\/p>\n

777
\n00:57:36,760 –> 00:57:39,880
\nHis place of defence shall be
\nthe munitions of rocks. <\/p>\n

778
\n00:57:40,520 –> 00:57:45,080
\nBread shall be given him, his
\nwaters shall be sure. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:57:45,760 –> 00:57:49,040
\nThine eyes, brothers and
\nsisters, shall see the King in <\/p>\n

780
\n00:57:49,040 –> 00:57:52,520
\nhis beauty.
\nThey shall behold the land that <\/p>\n

781
\n00:57:52,520 –> 00:57:56,400
\nis very far off.
\nOn that note, the vision of a <\/p>\n

782
\n00:57:56,400 –> 00:57:58,840
\nbrighter day.
\nWe end, but not totally of <\/p>\n

\ncourse, our studies and the
\nthemes of Isaiah. <\/p>\n
