1) Isaiah 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
Isaiah 23
An Oracle Concerning Tyre
1 (Joel 3:4-8; Ge 10:4) The oracle of Tyre.
Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste
so that there is no house or harbor;
from the land of Cyprus
it is reported to them.
2 (Isa 47:5) Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
you merchants of Sidon;
your messengers passed over the sea,
3 (1Ch 13:5; Jer 2:18) and were on many waters;
the grain of the Nile,
the harvest of the River Nile River. was her revenue;
and she was the market of nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken,
even the stronghold of the sea, saying,
"I have not travailed nor brought forth children;
neither have I brought up young men nor raised virgins."
5 (Ex 15:14-16; Jos 2:9-11) When the report reaches Egypt,
they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6 (Isa 23:12) Pass over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
7 (Isa 22:2) Is this your joyous city,
whose origin is from ancient days,
whose feet used to carry her
to sojourn in distant locations?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre,
the crowning city,
whose merchants are princes,
whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9 (Isa 13:11; Job 40:11-12) The Lord of Hosts has purposed it,
to stain the pride of all glory
and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Pass through your land as the Nile,
O daughter of Tarshish;
there is no more restraint.
11 (Zec 9:3-4; Ex 14:21) He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
the Lord has given a command against the merchant city,
to destroy its strongholds.
12 (Rev 18:22; Isa 23:1-2) He said: You shall rejoice no more,
O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to Cyprus;
there also you shall have no rest.
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans;
this was a people who was not;
Assyria founded it
for those who dwell in the wilderness.
They set up their siege towers,
they stripped its palaces,
and brought it to ruin.
14 (Isa 23:1) Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for your stronghold is laid waste.
15 (Jer 25:22) In that day Tyre shall be forgotten for seventy years,
according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years
Tyre shall sing as a harlot:
16 Take your harp, go about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
make sweet melody, sing many songs,
that you may be remembered.
17 (Na 3:4) At the end of seventy years, the Lord will punish Tyre.
Then she shall turn to her harlot's wages and shall commit fornication
with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
18 (Ps 72:10) Her merchandise and her harlot's wages shall be set apart
to the Lord. It shall not be treasured nor stored up, for her merchandise
shall be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently,
and for choice clothing.
Isaiah 23
[1] The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so
that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is
revealed to them.
[2] Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon,
that pass over the sea, have replenished.
[3] And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her
revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
[4] Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of
the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I
nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
[5] As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the
report of Tyre.
[6] Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
[7] Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own
feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
[8] Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose
merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
[9] The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and
to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
[10] Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no
more strength.
[11] He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD
hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong
holds thereof.
[12] And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin,
daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have
no rest.
[13] Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the
Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the
towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to
ruin.
[14] Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
[15] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten
seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy
years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
[16] Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
[17] And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD
will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit
fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
[18] And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it
shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them
that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Isaiah 24
Judgment on the Earth
1 Now the Lord makes the earth empty,
and makes it waste,
and turns it upside down,
and scatters its inhabitants abroad.
2 (Hos 4:9; Eze 7:12-13) It shall be:
as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the servant, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
as with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 (Isa 6:11; 24:1) The land shall be utterly emptied,
and utterly despoiled,
for the Lord has spoken this word.
4 (Isa 33:9; Hos 4:3) The earth mourns and fades away,
the world languishes and fades away,
the haughty people of the earth languish.
5 The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants
because they have transgressed the laws,
violated the ordinances,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6 (Zec 5:3-4 ) Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
and few men are left.
7 (Isa 16:10; 16:8) The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 (Hos 2:11; Jer 7:34) The joy of tambourines ceases,
the noise of those who rejoice ends,
the joy of the harp ceases.
9 (Ecc 9:7; Isa 5:22) They shall not drink wine with song;
strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down;
every house is shut up so that no one may come in.
11 There is an outcry for wine in the streets,
all joy is turned to gloom,
the joyfulness of the earth is gone.
12 Desolation is left in the city,
and the gate is battered to destruction.
13 For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth
among the peoples,
as the shaking of an olive tree,
and as the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
14 (Isa 54:1) They lift up their voices; they sing for the majesty of the Lord;
they cry aloud from the west.
15 (Mal 1:11; Isa 42:4) Therefore glorify the Lord in the east,
even the name of the Lord God of Israel
in the coastlands of the sea.
16 (Isa 21:2; 33:1) From the uttermost part of the earth we hear songs,
that is, "Glory to the Righteous One."
But I say, Woe to me! Woe to me!
Alas for me!
The treacherous deal treacherously;
indeed, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 (Jer 48:43-44) Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you,
O inhabitant of the earth.
18 (Ge 7:11; Ps 18:7) He who flees from the report of disaster
shall fall into the pit,
and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit
shall be taken in the snare.
For the windows from on high are open,
and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down,
the earth is split through,
the earth is shaken violently.
20 (Isa 19:14; 29:9) The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard,
and it totters like a shack,
and its transgression is heavy upon it,
and it shall fall, never to rise again.
21 (Ps 76:12; Isa 10:12) In that day the Lord shall punish
the host of heaven on high
and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 (Zec 9:11) They shall be gathered together,
as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon,
and shall be shut up in the prison,
and after many days they shall be punished.
23 (Isa 13:10; 60:19) Then the moon shall be humiliated and the sun ashamed,
when the Lord of Hosts reigns
in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and His glory shall be before His elders.
Isaiah 24
[1] Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and
turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
[2] And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with
the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as
with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
[3] The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD
hath spoken this word.
[4] The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth
away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
[5] The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant.
[6] Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein
are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men
left.
[7] The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do
sigh.
[8] The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the
joy of the harp ceaseth.
[9] They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to
them that drink it.
[10] The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no
man may come in.
[11] There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the
mirth of the land is gone.
[12] In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with
destruction.
[13] When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there
shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when
the vintage is done.
[14] They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the
LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
[15] Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD
God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
[16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to
the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the
treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers
have dealt very treacherously.
[17] Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the
earth.
[18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the
fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the
pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and
the foundations of the earth do shake.
[19] The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the
earth is moved exceedingly.
[20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed
like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it
shall fall, and not rise again.
[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the
host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the
earth.
[22] And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the
pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be
visited.
[23] Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD
of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his
ancients gloriously.
Isaiah 25
Praise to the Lord
1 (Ex 15:2; Ps 98:1) O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You, I will praise Your name,
for You have done wonderful things;
Your plans formed of old
are faithfulness and truth.
2 (Isa 17:1; 13:22) For You have made a city into a heap,
a fortified city into a ruin;
a palace of strangers is a city no longer;
it shall never be built.
3 Therefore a strong people shall glorify You;
cities of ruthless nations shall fear You.
4 (Isa 14:32; 32:2) For You have been a defense to the poor,
a defense to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm,
a shadow from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless ones
is as a storm against the wall.
5 You bring down the noise of strangers,
as heat in drought;
as the heat by the shadow of a cloud,
the song of the ruthless ones shall be brought low.
6 (Isa 2:2-3; Ps 63:5) In this mountain the Lord of Hosts shall prepare
for all people a lavish feast,
a feast of aged wines,
choice pieces full of marrow, and refined, aged wines.
7 (Eph 4:18) He will destroy in this mountain
the covering which is over all peoples,
even the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 (Rev 21:4; Hos 13:14; 1Co 15:54) He will swallow up death for all time,
and the Lord God will wipe away tears
from all faces;
and the reproach of His people He shall take away
from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken it.
9 (Ps 20:5; Ge 49:18) It shall be said in that day:
Look, this is our God
for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
10 (Isa 25:6; Jer 48:2) For in this mountain the hand of the Lord shall rest,
and Moab shall be trodden down in his place
as straw is trodden down in the water for the manure pile.
11 (Isa 5:25; 14:26) He shall spread out his hands in the midst of it,
as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
yet the Lord shall bring down his pride
together with the trickery of his hands.
12 (Isa 26:5) The unassailable fortresses of your walls
He shall bring down, lay low,
and bring to the ground,
even to the dust.
Isaiah 25
[1] O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for
thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
truth.
[2] For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a
palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
[3] Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
nations shall fear thee.
[4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in
his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the
blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
[5] Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry
place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible
ones shall be brought low.
[6] And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a
feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of
marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over
all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
[8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away
tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away
from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
[9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited
for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we
will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
[10] For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be
trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
[11] And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that
swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their
pride together with the spoils of their hands.
[12] And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay
low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Isaiah 26
A Song of Victory
1 (Isa 60:18; 12:1) In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
He appoints walls
and bulwarks for security.
2 (Ps 118:20; Isa 60:11) Open the gates,
that the righteous nation may enter,
the one who remains faithful.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You.
4 (Isa 12:2; 50:10) Trust in the Lord forever,
for in God the Lord we have an everlasting rock.
5 (Job 40:11-13) For He brings down those who dwell on high,
the lofty city; He lays it low; He lays it low,
even to the ground;
He brings it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall tread it down,
even the feet of the poor
and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
8 In the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
we have waited for You eagerly;
the desire of our souls is Your name,
even Your memory.
9 (Ps 63:1; Mt 6:33 ) With my soul I have desired You in the night;
my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
for when Your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 (Hos 11:7; Jn 5:37-38) Though favor is shown to the wicked,
yet he will not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals unjustly
and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.
11 (Isa 5:24; Mic 5:9) Lord, Your hand is lifted up,
but they do not see it.
They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
12 Lord, You will ordain peace for us,
for You also have done all our works for us.
13 (Isa 2:8) O Lord our God, other lords besides You have had dominion over us,
but through You alone we confess Your name.
14 (Isa 8:19) The dead shall not live;
the departed spirits shall not rise.
Therefore, You have punished and destroyed them
and made all remembrance of them to perish.
15 (Isa 9:3) You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 (Hos 5:15) Lord, in trouble they have sought You;
they poured out a prayer
when Your chastening was on them.
17 (Isa 13:8; Jn 16:21) Like a woman with child,
who is in pain and cries out in her pangs
when she draws near the time of her delivery,
so have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
18 (Ps 17:14) We have been with child, we have been in pain,
we have, as it were, brought forth wind;
we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
nor were the inhabitants of the world born.
19 (Isa 25:8; Da 12:2) Your dead shall live,
their corpses shall arise.
Awake and sing,
you who dwell in dust,
for your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
and the earth shall give birth to the departed spirits.
20 (Ps 30:5; 91:4) Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide for a little while
until the indignation is over.
21 (Job 16:18) For the Lord comes out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
the earth also shall disclose her bloodshed
and shall cover her slain no more.
Isaiah 26
[1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a
strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
[2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may
enter in.
[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
[4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting
strength:
[5] For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth
it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the
dust.
[6] The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps
of the needy.
[7] The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the
path of the just.
[8] Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the
desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
[9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit
within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
[10] Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn
righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will
not behold the majesty of the LORD.
[11] LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall
see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine
enemies shall devour them.
[12] LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our
works in us.
[13] O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but
by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
[14] They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not
rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their
memory to perish.
[15] Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation:
thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the
earth.
[16] LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when
thy chastening was upon them.
[17] Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery,
is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O
LORD.
[18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were
brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth;
neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
[19] Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the earth shall cast out the dead.
[20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
[21] For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants
of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain.
Isaiah 27
The Deliverance of Israel
1 (Ps 104:26; Isa 51:9) In that day
the Lord with His fierce and great
and strong sword shall punish
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 (Jer 2:21) In that day:
Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine.
3 (Isa 58:11; 1Sa 2:9) I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it every moment;
lest anyone damage it,
I protect it night and day.
4 (Isa 10:17; Mt 3:12) I have no fury.
Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,
then I would step on them,
I would burn them fully.
5 (Job 22:21; Isa 25:4) Or let him rely on My strength;
let him make peace with Me;
let him make peace with Me.
6 (Isa 37:31; Hos 14:5-6) In the days to come Jacob shall take root;
Israel shall blossom and bud
and shall fill the whole world with fruit.
7 (Isa 37:36-38) Has He struck them,
as He struck those who struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain,
have they been slain?
8 (Jer 4:11; 10:24) You fought with them by banishing them,
by driving them away.
He has expelled them
on the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.
9 (Isa 17:8; 48:10) Through this, therefore,
the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars
shall not stand.
10 (Isa 17:2; 17:9) For the fortified city shall be desolate,
a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
and there it shall lie down
and eat its branches.
11 (Isa 1:3; 43:1) When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding;
therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,
and their Creator will show them no grace.
12 (Ge 15:18; Dt 30:3-4) In that day the Lord shall thresh
from the channel of the RiverEuphrates River. to the stream of Egypt,
and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
13 (Lev 25:9; Mt 24:31) And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown,
and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts
in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Isaiah 27
[1] In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall
punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent;
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
[2] In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
[3] I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I
will keep it night and day.
[4] Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in
battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
[5] Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and
he shall make peace with me.
[6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall
blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
[7] Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain
according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
[8] In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth
his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
[9] By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all
the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not
stand up.
[10] Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken,
and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he
lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
[11] When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the
women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding:
therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed
them will shew them no favour.
[12] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off
from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be
gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be
blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of
Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD
in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

God's Plans? God's People! by Elisa Morgan
Exodus 31:1-6
The Tabernacle Artisans
Ex 35:30-35
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 36:1; 35:30) See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri,
the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3 (1Ki 7:14; Ex 35:31) I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom,
in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of craftsmanship
4 to devise artistic works for work with gold, with silver, and with bronze,
5 and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in carving of wood,
to work in all manner of craftsmanship.
6 (Ex 28:3; 35:10) I, indeed, I have given him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak,
of the tribe of Dan, and I have given skill to all who are
specially skilled, that they may make everything that I have commanded you:
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of
the tribe of Judah:
[3] And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
[4] To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
[5] And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work
in all manner of workmanship.
[6] And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of
the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put
wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
After I joined the board of trustees of a seminary, the long-term leader
announced his retirement. I found myself among those tasked with searching for
a new president. Together, we amassed a daunting list of qualifications. How
would we find someone to fulfill such a complicated and vital role?
I wondered the same as I read God's specifications for the tabernacle's
lampstand to be crafted of pure gold, with flower-like cups and almond
flowers and six branches (Exodus 25:31-36). And the courtyard
was "to have curtains of finely twisted linen, with twenty posts
and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks
and bands on the posts" (27:9-10). Who could fulfill such assignments?
God answered, "I have chosen Bezalel . . . and I have filled him with
the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge
and with all kinds of skills . . . to engage in all kinds of crafts" (31:2-5).
God also said, "I have given ability to all the skilled workers
to make everything I have commanded you" (v. 6).
Where do we turn to fill a vacant role for a high-level leader,
a volunteer at church or to orchestrate an event? To the God who
calls and equips His people. God laid out an ambitious design
for His temple. Then He chose and equipped His people to implement it.
God's answer to His plans is God's people.
Reflect & Pray
How have you seen God gift people to do His work? What has He equipped you to do?
Holy God, I look to You to choose
and equip the people needed in my life,
my church, and in my place of work.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 6 - Through The Fire
Is 43:2
2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,
I will be with you. And through the rivers,they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you.
2 When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
In the Book of Daniel, 3 young men provide one of the world's best-known
Bible stories. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of the finest young
men of Israel, were taken into capitivity to Babylon. There King
Nebuchadnezzar, filled with his own importance, commanded that
everyone bow down and worship his image.
When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship anyone
except the One True god, they were cast into Nebuchadnezzar's
furnace of fire.
Is 43:2 brings their experience into focus for us. There the Lord says,
"When you pass through the fire ... when you walk through the water ..."
Not if, but when. If we are committed to serving and honouring the Lord,
at some point we will be faced with "passing through the fire" for hm.
We may not face a physical furnace, but we may face the fires of
persecution, anger, hostility or suffering. And God says:
"I will be with you."
When the three young Israelites stepped into the king's furnace, all
the people looked and saw, not three, but four men in the fire, their
bonds burned away, walking freely among the flames. They did not
escape the fate decreed for them. But the Lord was with them in
the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the flood
and the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the
flood and fire tht life brings to us. The promise of god remains:
"I will be with you; the waters will not overflow, nor will the
flames burn you."
Application
a) What kinds of "fires" and "Floods" have I experienced?
b) How was I aware of the Lord's presence with me?

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Reconciling Peace
Ps 85:8-13
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,
but let them not turn again to folly.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,
and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him
and prepare a way for His footsteps.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak:
For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
But let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth;
And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him;
And shall set us in the way of his steps.

Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.

Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National
Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Isaiah 23
An Oracle Concerning Tyre
1 (Joel 3:4-8; Ge 10:4) The oracle of Tyre.
Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste
so that there is no house or harbor;
from the land of Cyprus
it is reported to them.
2 (Isa 47:5) Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
you merchants of Sidon;
your messengers passed over the sea,
3 (1Ch 13:5; Jer 2:18) and were on many waters;
the grain of the Nile,
the harvest of the River Nile River. was her revenue;
and she was the market of nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken,
even the stronghold of the sea, saying,
"I have not travailed nor brought forth children;
neither have I brought up young men nor raised virgins."
5 (Ex 15:14-16; Jos 2:9-11) When the report reaches Egypt,
they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6 (Isa 23:12) Pass over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
7 (Isa 22:2) Is this your joyous city,
whose origin is from ancient days,
whose feet used to carry her
to sojourn in distant locations?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre,
the crowning city,
whose merchants are princes,
whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9 (Isa 13:11; Job 40:11-12) The Lord of Hosts has purposed it,
to stain the pride of all glory
and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Pass through your land as the Nile,
O daughter of Tarshish;
there is no more restraint.
11 (Zec 9:3-4; Ex 14:21) He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
the Lord has given a command against the merchant city,
to destroy its strongholds.
12 (Rev 18:22; Isa 23:1-2) He said: You shall rejoice no more,
O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to Cyprus;
there also you shall have no rest.
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans;
this was a people who was not;
Assyria founded it
for those who dwell in the wilderness.
They set up their siege towers,
they stripped its palaces,
and brought it to ruin.
14 (Isa 23:1) Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for your stronghold is laid waste.
15 (Jer 25:22) In that day Tyre shall be forgotten for seventy years,
according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years
Tyre shall sing as a harlot:
16 Take your harp, go about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
make sweet melody, sing many songs,
that you may be remembered.
17 (Na 3:4) At the end of seventy years, the Lord will punish Tyre.
Then she shall turn to her harlot's wages and shall commit fornication
with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
18 (Ps 72:10) Her merchandise and her harlot's wages shall be set apart
to the Lord. It shall not be treasured nor stored up, for her merchandise
shall be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently,
and for choice clothing.
Isaiah 23
[1] The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so
that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is
revealed to them.
[2] Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon,
that pass over the sea, have replenished.
[3] And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her
revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
[4] Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of
the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I
nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
[5] As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the
report of Tyre.
[6] Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
[7] Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own
feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
[8] Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose
merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
[9] The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and
to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
[10] Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no
more strength.
[11] He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD
hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong
holds thereof.
[12] And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin,
daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have
no rest.
[13] Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the
Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the
towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to
ruin.
[14] Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
[15] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten
seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy
years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
[16] Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
[17] And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD
will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit
fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
[18] And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it
shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them
that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Isaiah 24
Judgment on the Earth
1 Now the Lord makes the earth empty,
and makes it waste,
and turns it upside down,
and scatters its inhabitants abroad.
2 (Hos 4:9; Eze 7:12-13) It shall be:
as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the servant, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
as with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 (Isa 6:11; 24:1) The land shall be utterly emptied,
and utterly despoiled,
for the Lord has spoken this word.
4 (Isa 33:9; Hos 4:3) The earth mourns and fades away,
the world languishes and fades away,
the haughty people of the earth languish.
5 The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants
because they have transgressed the laws,
violated the ordinances,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6 (Zec 5:3-4 ) Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
and few men are left.
7 (Isa 16:10; 16:8) The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 (Hos 2:11; Jer 7:34) The joy of tambourines ceases,
the noise of those who rejoice ends,
the joy of the harp ceases.
9 (Ecc 9:7; Isa 5:22) They shall not drink wine with song;
strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down;
every house is shut up so that no one may come in.
11 There is an outcry for wine in the streets,
all joy is turned to gloom,
the joyfulness of the earth is gone.
12 Desolation is left in the city,
and the gate is battered to destruction.
13 For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth
among the peoples,
as the shaking of an olive tree,
and as the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
14 (Isa 54:1) They lift up their voices; they sing for the majesty of the Lord;
they cry aloud from the west.
15 (Mal 1:11; Isa 42:4) Therefore glorify the Lord in the east,
even the name of the Lord God of Israel
in the coastlands of the sea.
16 (Isa 21:2; 33:1) From the uttermost part of the earth we hear songs,
that is, "Glory to the Righteous One."
But I say, Woe to me! Woe to me!
Alas for me!
The treacherous deal treacherously;
indeed, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 (Jer 48:43-44) Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you,
O inhabitant of the earth.
18 (Ge 7:11; Ps 18:7) He who flees from the report of disaster
shall fall into the pit,
and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit
shall be taken in the snare.
For the windows from on high are open,
and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down,
the earth is split through,
the earth is shaken violently.
20 (Isa 19:14; 29:9) The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard,
and it totters like a shack,
and its transgression is heavy upon it,
and it shall fall, never to rise again.
21 (Ps 76:12; Isa 10:12) In that day the Lord shall punish
the host of heaven on high
and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 (Zec 9:11) They shall be gathered together,
as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon,
and shall be shut up in the prison,
and after many days they shall be punished.
23 (Isa 13:10; 60:19) Then the moon shall be humiliated and the sun ashamed,
when the Lord of Hosts reigns
in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and His glory shall be before His elders.
Isaiah 24
[1] Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and
turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
[2] And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with
the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as
with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
[3] The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD
hath spoken this word.
[4] The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth
away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
[5] The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant.
[6] Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein
are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men
left.
[7] The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do
sigh.
[8] The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the
joy of the harp ceaseth.
[9] They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to
them that drink it.
[10] The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no
man may come in.
[11] There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the
mirth of the land is gone.
[12] In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with
destruction.
[13] When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there
shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when
the vintage is done.
[14] They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the
LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
[15] Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD
God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
[16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to
the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the
treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers
have dealt very treacherously.
[17] Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the
earth.
[18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the
fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the
pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and
the foundations of the earth do shake.
[19] The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the
earth is moved exceedingly.
[20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed
like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it
shall fall, and not rise again.
[21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the
host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the
earth.
[22] And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the
pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be
visited.
[23] Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD
of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his
ancients gloriously.
Isaiah 25
Praise to the Lord
1 (Ex 15:2; Ps 98:1) O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You, I will praise Your name,
for You have done wonderful things;
Your plans formed of old
are faithfulness and truth.
2 (Isa 17:1; 13:22) For You have made a city into a heap,
a fortified city into a ruin;
a palace of strangers is a city no longer;
it shall never be built.
3 Therefore a strong people shall glorify You;
cities of ruthless nations shall fear You.
4 (Isa 14:32; 32:2) For You have been a defense to the poor,
a defense to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm,
a shadow from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless ones
is as a storm against the wall.
5 You bring down the noise of strangers,
as heat in drought;
as the heat by the shadow of a cloud,
the song of the ruthless ones shall be brought low.
6 (Isa 2:2-3; Ps 63:5) In this mountain the Lord of Hosts shall prepare
for all people a lavish feast,
a feast of aged wines,
choice pieces full of marrow, and refined, aged wines.
7 (Eph 4:18) He will destroy in this mountain
the covering which is over all peoples,
even the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 (Rev 21:4; Hos 13:14; 1Co 15:54) He will swallow up death for all time,
and the Lord God will wipe away tears
from all faces;
and the reproach of His people He shall take away
from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken it.
9 (Ps 20:5; Ge 49:18) It shall be said in that day:
Look, this is our God
for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
10 (Isa 25:6; Jer 48:2) For in this mountain the hand of the Lord shall rest,
and Moab shall be trodden down in his place
as straw is trodden down in the water for the manure pile.
11 (Isa 5:25; 14:26) He shall spread out his hands in the midst of it,
as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
yet the Lord shall bring down his pride
together with the trickery of his hands.
12 (Isa 26:5) The unassailable fortresses of your walls
He shall bring down, lay low,
and bring to the ground,
even to the dust.
Isaiah 25
[1] O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for
thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
truth.
[2] For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a
palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
[3] Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
nations shall fear thee.
[4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in
his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the
blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
[5] Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry
place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible
ones shall be brought low.
[6] And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a
feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of
marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over
all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
[8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away
tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away
from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
[9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited
for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we
will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
[10] For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be
trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
[11] And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that
swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their
pride together with the spoils of their hands.
[12] And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay
low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Isaiah 26
A Song of Victory
1 (Isa 60:18; 12:1) In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
He appoints walls
and bulwarks for security.
2 (Ps 118:20; Isa 60:11) Open the gates,
that the righteous nation may enter,
the one who remains faithful.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You.
4 (Isa 12:2; 50:10) Trust in the Lord forever,
for in God the Lord we have an everlasting rock.
5 (Job 40:11-13) For He brings down those who dwell on high,
the lofty city; He lays it low; He lays it low,
even to the ground;
He brings it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall tread it down,
even the feet of the poor
and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
8 In the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
we have waited for You eagerly;
the desire of our souls is Your name,
even Your memory.
9 (Ps 63:1; Mt 6:33 ) With my soul I have desired You in the night;
my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
for when Your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 (Hos 11:7; Jn 5:37-38) Though favor is shown to the wicked,
yet he will not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals unjustly
and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.
11 (Isa 5:24; Mic 5:9) Lord, Your hand is lifted up,
but they do not see it.
They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
12 Lord, You will ordain peace for us,
for You also have done all our works for us.
13 (Isa 2:8) O Lord our God, other lords besides You have had dominion over us,
but through You alone we confess Your name.
14 (Isa 8:19) The dead shall not live;
the departed spirits shall not rise.
Therefore, You have punished and destroyed them
and made all remembrance of them to perish.
15 (Isa 9:3) You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 (Hos 5:15) Lord, in trouble they have sought You;
they poured out a prayer
when Your chastening was on them.
17 (Isa 13:8; Jn 16:21) Like a woman with child,
who is in pain and cries out in her pangs
when she draws near the time of her delivery,
so have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
18 (Ps 17:14) We have been with child, we have been in pain,
we have, as it were, brought forth wind;
we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
nor were the inhabitants of the world born.
19 (Isa 25:8; Da 12:2) Your dead shall live,
their corpses shall arise.
Awake and sing,
you who dwell in dust,
for your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
and the earth shall give birth to the departed spirits.
20 (Ps 30:5; 91:4) Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide for a little while
until the indignation is over.
21 (Job 16:18) For the Lord comes out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
the earth also shall disclose her bloodshed
and shall cover her slain no more.
Isaiah 26
[1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a
strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
[2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may
enter in.
[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.
[4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting
strength:
[5] For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth
it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the
dust.
[6] The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps
of the needy.
[7] The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the
path of the just.
[8] Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the
desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
[9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit
within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
[10] Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn
righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will
not behold the majesty of the LORD.
[11] LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall
see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine
enemies shall devour them.
[12] LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our
works in us.
[13] O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but
by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
[14] They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not
rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their
memory to perish.
[15] Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation:
thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the
earth.
[16] LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when
thy chastening was upon them.
[17] Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery,
is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O
LORD.
[18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were
brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth;
neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
[19] Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the earth shall cast out the dead.
[20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
[21] For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants
of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain.
Isaiah 27
The Deliverance of Israel
1 (Ps 104:26; Isa 51:9) In that day
the Lord with His fierce and great
and strong sword shall punish
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 (Jer 2:21) In that day:
Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine.
3 (Isa 58:11; 1Sa 2:9) I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it every moment;
lest anyone damage it,
I protect it night and day.
4 (Isa 10:17; Mt 3:12) I have no fury.
Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,
then I would step on them,
I would burn them fully.
5 (Job 22:21; Isa 25:4) Or let him rely on My strength;
let him make peace with Me;
let him make peace with Me.
6 (Isa 37:31; Hos 14:5-6) In the days to come Jacob shall take root;
Israel shall blossom and bud
and shall fill the whole world with fruit.
7 (Isa 37:36-38) Has He struck them,
as He struck those who struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain,
have they been slain?
8 (Jer 4:11; 10:24) You fought with them by banishing them,
by driving them away.
He has expelled them
on the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.
9 (Isa 17:8; 48:10) Through this, therefore,
the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars
shall not stand.
10 (Isa 17:2; 17:9) For the fortified city shall be desolate,
a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
and there it shall lie down
and eat its branches.
11 (Isa 1:3; 43:1) When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding;
therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,
and their Creator will show them no grace.
12 (Ge 15:18; Dt 30:3-4) In that day the Lord shall thresh
from the channel of the RiverEuphrates River. to the stream of Egypt,
and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
13 (Lev 25:9; Mt 24:31) And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown,
and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts
in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Isaiah 27
[1] In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall
punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent;
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
[2] In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
[3] I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I
will keep it night and day.
[4] Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in
battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
[5] Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and
he shall make peace with me.
[6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall
blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
[7] Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain
according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
[8] In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth
his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
[9] By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all
the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not
stand up.
[10] Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken,
and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he
lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
[11] When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the
women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding:
therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed
them will shew them no favour.
[12] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off
from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be
gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be
blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of
Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD
in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Exodus 31:1-6
The Tabernacle Artisans
Ex 35:30-35
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 36:1; 35:30) See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri,
the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3 (1Ki 7:14; Ex 35:31) I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom,
in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of craftsmanship
4 to devise artistic works for work with gold, with silver, and with bronze,
5 and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in carving of wood,
to work in all manner of craftsmanship.
6 (Ex 28:3; 35:10) I, indeed, I have given him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak,
of the tribe of Dan, and I have given skill to all who are
specially skilled, that they may make everything that I have commanded you:
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of
the tribe of Judah:
[3] And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
[4] To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
[5] And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work
in all manner of workmanship.
[6] And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of
the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put
wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
After I joined the board of trustees of a seminary, the long-term leader
announced his retirement. I found myself among those tasked with searching for
a new president. Together, we amassed a daunting list of qualifications. How
would we find someone to fulfill such a complicated and vital role?
I wondered the same as I read God's specifications for the tabernacle's
lampstand to be crafted of pure gold, with flower-like cups and almond
flowers and six branches (Exodus 25:31-36). And the courtyard
was "to have curtains of finely twisted linen, with twenty posts
and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks
and bands on the posts" (27:9-10). Who could fulfill such assignments?
God answered, "I have chosen Bezalel . . . and I have filled him with
the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge
and with all kinds of skills . . . to engage in all kinds of crafts" (31:2-5).
God also said, "I have given ability to all the skilled workers
to make everything I have commanded you" (v. 6).
Where do we turn to fill a vacant role for a high-level leader,
a volunteer at church or to orchestrate an event? To the God who
calls and equips His people. God laid out an ambitious design
for His temple. Then He chose and equipped His people to implement it.
God's answer to His plans is God's people.
Reflect & Pray
How have you seen God gift people to do His work? What has He equipped you to do?
Holy God, I look to You to choose
and equip the people needed in my life,
my church, and in my place of work.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 6 - Through The Fire
Is 43:2
2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,
I will be with you. And through the rivers,they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you.
2 When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
In the Book of Daniel, 3 young men provide one of the world's best-known
Bible stories. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of the finest young
men of Israel, were taken into capitivity to Babylon. There King
Nebuchadnezzar, filled with his own importance, commanded that
everyone bow down and worship his image.
When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship anyone
except the One True god, they were cast into Nebuchadnezzar's
furnace of fire.
Is 43:2 brings their experience into focus for us. There the Lord says,
"When you pass through the fire ... when you walk through the water ..."
Not if, but when. If we are committed to serving and honouring the Lord,
at some point we will be faced with "passing through the fire" for hm.
We may not face a physical furnace, but we may face the fires of
persecution, anger, hostility or suffering. And God says:
"I will be with you."
When the three young Israelites stepped into the king's furnace, all
the people looked and saw, not three, but four men in the fire, their
bonds burned away, walking freely among the flames. They did not
escape the fate decreed for them. But the Lord was with them in
the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the flood
and the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the
flood and fire tht life brings to us. The promise of god remains:
"I will be with you; the waters will not overflow, nor will the
flames burn you."
Application
a) What kinds of "fires" and "Floods" have I experienced?
b) How was I aware of the Lord's presence with me?

to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Reconciling Peace
Ps 85:8-13
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,
but let them not turn again to folly.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,
and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him
and prepare a way for His footsteps.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak:
For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
But let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth;
And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him;
And shall set us in the way of his steps.

The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National
Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
ROMANS 15:13
