Today, I am reading and commenting on  Isaiah 52-56.

Yesterday’s passage was about God giving new predictions about the future through Isaiah so that people would realize that He was indeed God.  Today, Isaiah continues that theme.  He writes that God’s name is constantly being blasphemed, but that he is about to foretell an event that God’s people will know that only God could have told him.  Then Isaiah writes one of the classic Messianic prophecies about the suffering which Christ would experience.  He describes how much we owe to Jesus for the suffering which He experienced.  For those of us who believe the Gospel accounts, Isaiah’s prophecy clearly describes what happened to Jesus leading up to His crucifixion.

Then in chapters 55 and 56 Isaiah lays out How the thoughts and methods of an infinite God are beyond human comprehension.  God’s thoughts and ways are incomprehensibly above anything we can imagine.  When He speaks to us His word transforms us in ways that we would never have thought possible.  Yet, He told us through His prophets that He would do this.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
