What does God say about Himself, Truth and Righteousness.

July 29, 2022

God is Trustworthy, God is Truthful, God loves you, you can work with Him through faith, but no one can undo His words or deeds. When God speaks , you never have to wonder if His word will ever be over turned. His word always comes true, even though it may take a while. Believers have to stand and wait, but we are waiting for words to be spoken, we are waiting for Jesus Christ to speak to us. He has the time table, He knows but we do not. Even in the darkest of days, He will be with you in death or life. He will never leave you. If you die before He comes, you will see Him and be with Him in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye. (1 Corinthians 15:52)

Reverence

Isaiah 41:26-29
Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know? Or from former times, that we may say, He is right! Surely there was no one who declared, Surely there was no one who proclaimed, surely there was no one who heard your words. Formerly I said to Zionm behold, here they are. And to Jerusalem, I will give a messenger of good news. But when I look, there is no one, and there is no counselor among them who, if I ask, can give an answer. Behold, all of them are false; their works are worthless, Their molten images are wind and emptiness.
God has declared and taught, What will be to the end of this earth.?

God has declared and taught, What will be to the end of this earth.?

Isaiah 41:1-4
Coast lands, listen to Me in silence, and let the peoples gain new strength; let them come forward, then let them speak; let us come together for judgment. Who has aroused one from the east whom He calls in righteousness to His feet? He delivers up nations before him, and subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his words, as the wind-driven chaff with his bow. He pursues them passing on in safety, by a way he had not been traversing with his feet, Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, am the first, and the last. I am HE.

Isaiah 40:12-31 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and marked off the heavens by the span, and calculated the dust of the earth by the measure. And weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills in a pair of scales? Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD. Or as His counselor has informed Him? With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge, and informed Him of the way of understanding? Behold the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales; Behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust. Even Lebanon is not enough to burn, nor its beasts enough for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before Him. They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless. To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him? As for the idol, a craftsman casts it, a goldsmith plates it, and a silversmith fashions chains of silver. He to is impoverished for such an offering selects a tree that does not rot; he seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman to prepare an idol that will not totter. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the vault of the earth. And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. It is He who reduces rulers to nothing, but makes the judges of the earth meaningless. Scarcely have they been planted, scarcely have they been sown, scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, but He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the storm carries them away like stubble. To whom then will you liken Me that I should be equal? says the Holy one. Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars, the One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert O Israel, My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due Me escapes the notice of my God? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, The LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to Him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
Thought: God Calls the stars out by name, and there are billions of stars, He knows the name of each one. He knows the names of all people, past, present and future. Who will trust Him and who won’t. It is He that knew all this before the beginning of time. The Lord God is His name.

Israel is the apple of God’s eye.
Isaiah 43:9-13 All the nations have gathered together in order the peoples may be assembled. Who among them can declare this and proclaim to us the former things? “Let them present their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them say, It is true.” You are My witnesses, declares the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen in order that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. (I and the Father are one. John 10:30) Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, (God) and there is no savior besides Me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange God among you; so you are My witnesses, declares the Lord, and I am God. Even from eternity I am He; and there is none who can deliver out of My hand; “I act and who can reverse it?”

Isaiah 43:18-24 Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Behold, I will do something new,now spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field will glorify Me; the jackals and the ostriches; because I have given waters in the wilderness and the rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people. The people whom I formed for Myself, will declare My praise. Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob; But you have become weary of Me, O Israel. You have not brought to Me the sheep of your burnt offerings; Nor have you honored Me with with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with incense. You have brought Me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; rather you have burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Jesus Christ was what would spring forth
Isaiah 43:25-28 I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; let us argue our case together, state your cause, that you may be proved right. Your first forefather sinned, and your spokesmen have transgressed against Me. So I will pollute the princes of the sanctuary; and I will consign Jacob to the ban, and Israel to revilement.

Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart: And devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from evil. He enters into peace; they rest on their beds, each one who walked in his upright way.
Thought: Why does God want to enter into judgement with people. If we talk to God and there is communication going back and forth, God has your attention and you will be saved. But if a person that sins and is not interested in God or what He has to say. One might say that judgement of some kind is a life long struggle. With God you have help, without Him, you are left to yourself to make decisions. God is the balance in ones life that brings clarity to light. But when we say to God, I am not interested in you or what you have, personal judgement becomes harder because you will always think you are correct and the problem always lies with God or the other person. The problem that a person has is his problem is ones own, and is not with other people, but with God. And if we do not work it out with God or Christ, our finale destination will always be just beyond our grasp. After a while we will think, my life is not all that bad, so I do not need God or Jesus to forgive my sin. What man does not realize is that sin is not about other people, it is about him or her and their God and Jesus. Faith forgives all sin once for all and forever, through the death and resurrection of Christ. Christ gives peace and rest to those who believe in Him, to get this kind of peace is special. Not because a person has been weak, but Christ knows each person, that is who He helps all the time. He gives to each person what is needed.

Isaiah 41:10-13 Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am with you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with with My righteous right arm. Behold all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; those who contend with you will be as nothing, and will perish, You will seek those who quarrel with you, but you will not find them, those who fear war with you will be as nothing, and non-existent. For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, do not fear, I will help you.

Thought: Even though these words where written to Israel, these words are written to who that claim God as creator, savior, redeemer of all who was and is on the face of the earth. All people who claim Him and Christ will be theirs to the ends of the earth. He cannot make it more clearer than that. He does not want us to be looking over our shoulder to see if anyone is perusing us. He will watch out for His own, we are not to worry. God wants His believers to know Him so well, that worry about the present and the future are a mute subject.
Even though God was Israels leader, protector, covering and guiding Savior, God has put aside Israel because of their unbelief in Him. Israel rejected God over and over from the time He took the Hebrews out of the land of Egypt in 1445 B.C. From the time of Jacobs death in Egypt, to the time Israel left Egypt was 430 years. (Exodus 12:40) They knew all about all the gods of the Egyptians worship, and they worshiped many of the same idols. What did they make at the first opportunity, the golden calf. Israel would go through a falling from grace, and many died from plagues, and other things that God sent their way. Israel did not believe God that He would cast them from His land, their inheritance. They were defeated by Babylon in 586 B.C., Cyrus king of Persia defeated Babylon, and eventually allowed the Israelite’s to return home. Out of the millions of people coming out of Egypt, Israel returning from the 70 years of captivity, Cyrus released Israel to go back to Israel, but only about 59 thousand returned to Israel. There will only be a remnant that will be gathered up by Jesus to live in the New heavens and the new earth. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans, they have gone from country to country looking for a home. That will not happen until Christ returns. Then, all that belong to God and Christ through faith will join Him in the air to go to His Kingdom on earth for 1000 years.
God says to the nations:
Jeremiah 25:27-39 And you shall say to them, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall, rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you. And it will be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts; “You shall surely drink”. For behold , I am beginning to work calamity in this city which is called by My name, and shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment? for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of Hosts. Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them. “The Lord will roar on High”. And utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A clamor has come to the end of the earth, because the Lord has a controversy with the nations. He is entering into judgement with all flesh: As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword, declares the Lord.”
Great White Throne Judgment
Not one of man kind will say God has defeated all His enemies. John said: And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which are in it, and the death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
God’s plan is exacting and precise, from beginning to the end of time. To escape final judgment of God and Christ, The Great White Throne Judgment. God and Christ has offered salvation to every human from the time of Adam to the present. they have left the individual decision up to the individual, choosing wrongly means one has no part in God and Christ or the things to come in His kingdom. Man has his own life time for that decision. Once dead, man has no other opportunities for Christ to save him. There are people who will snub God and Christ because they think they have something better, or there is not an eternity, and therefore it is not necessary. But every decision of man comes back to mans judgment from God and Christ, and man will be shown there will no discussion of ones life coming from the book of life.

Where are you today? just bow your head and ask Jesus into your mind, heart and soul.
