“Or let him rely on My protection,
let him make peace with Me, let him make peace with Me.’ In the days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will blossom and sprout, and they will fill the whole world with
fruit.
“’Like the striking of Him who has
struck them, has He struck them? Or like
the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain? You contended with them by banishing them, by
driving them away. With His fierce wind
He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.
“’Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity
will be forgiven’ and this will be the full price of the pardoning of his
sin: When he makes all the altar stones
like pulverised chalk stones; when Asherim and incense altars will not
stand.
“’For the fortified city is
isolated, a homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert; there the calf will
graze and there it will lie down and feed on [consume] its
branches.” Isaiah 27:5-10
In the Bible, you may notice
places where words or phrases are repeated.
This was the way those who were speaking / writing emphasised something
that was important. Any time you see
this, pay particular attention to what is being said!
[Jesus speaking] “’Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness,
and died. This is the bread which comes
down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.
“’I am the living bread that came
down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the
bread also which I give for the life of the world is My flesh.’” John
6:47-51
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
