“All should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son, does not honour the Father which sent Him.” John 5 v 23 It would be easy to assume that Jesus’ words opposite are just words of possibility and choice, as if He were saying, ‘all should honour the…

Isaiah 12
Section 2f: We conclude the second section of Isaiah with this delightful chapter – the heart’s response to the Lord Jesus, God our Saviour.
Our True Genetic History?
Some time ago I really enjoyed watching an in-depth series on our genetic history, by Dr Nathaniel Jeanson, on the Answers in Genesis channel and thought it worth sharing. It shows clearly that the data is in no way at odds with the Bible.
Isaiah 11
Section 2e: We now turn, once again, from the imminent threats of judgment to the certain hope found in the coming Messiah. We learn that His first coming will be in humility and the power of the Spirit, but then a second coming in power will bring about the desired physical peace and rest, not…
Isaiah 10
Section 2d: The declaration of judgement continues, but this time directed to the King of Assyria.

Isaiah 6
The Lord is still on the throne Section 1f: The introductory section of Isaiah’s prophecy concludes with this awesome vision of the holy presence of the triune God, who is revealed to Isaiah in the Son (John 12:37-41), who as King and Lord of hosts rightfully sits upon the sovereign throne of God. This was…
Isaiah 5
Section 1e: This chapter begins with a love song, out of which come six stark warnings, descriptive of our own day just as much as they are of the early 740’s BC. The chapter then concludes dramatically in darkness and shadow as Isaiah predicts Assyrian invasion.
