Isaiah:42:001 | Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. ******************************************************* |
042:002 | He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. |
042:003 | A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. ******************************************************* |
042:004 | He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. ********************************************************** |
042:005 | Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: ********************************************************** |
042:006 | I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; ************************************************************ |
042:007 | To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. *********************************************************** |
042:008 | I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. *********************************************************** |
042:009 | Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. *********************************************************** |
042:010 | Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. *********************************************************** |
042:011 | Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. *********************************************************** |
042:012 | Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. |
042:013 | The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. *********************************************************** |
042:014 | I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. |
042:015 | I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. ************************************************************ |
042:016 | And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. *********************************************************** |
042:017 | They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. |
042:018 | Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. *********************************************************** |
042:019 | Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant? |
042:020 | Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. ************************************************************ |
042:021 | The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. I have a question for you: I would like for all of you who read this to study this message and try to discover the answer: In verse 19---who is it speaking of? Who is the blind and deaf servant of God? How is He blind and deaf? Please show the Scriptual answer. I have something to tell you about this; which I will do later; when I show the answer. Happy hunting, everyone!! Jo |
