The document summarizes key events and lessons from Isaiah chapters 7-8:
- Isaiah prophesied that within a few years, the kingdoms of Israel and Syria would fall, which came true.
- King Ahaz of Judah disobeyed God by forming an alliance with Assyria instead of trusting in God. As a result, God used Assyria to punish Judah.
- Isaiah's son's name, meaning "Speed the spoil, hasten the booty", served as a warning about Assyria's coming conquest. Though they would be defeated, God spared Judah from full destruction.
- The faithful remnant in Judah continued to trust in God alone despite the
700 hundred years before the birth of Christ Isaiah prophesied the birth and crucifixion of Jesus. Download the PowerPoint Presentation at www.Bibleguy.org

We’re Wrestling Who? - Ephesians 6:10-13David Turner
Our battles are not against flesh and blood. Our battles are against Principalities and Powers. These adversaries are much bigger than us and cannot be defeated by our own strength. In Ephesians 6:10-13 Paul identifies who we are really wrestling with and follows up with advice on how to compete to gain victory. For this and other PowerPoint Presentations go to www.Bibleguy.org.
The world seems to unconsciously understand the State of Israel and Jews as special people and the nation’s behaviour naturally reflects her inherent uniqueness. ... Israel in every generation has always been reminded to return to her fundamental faith in the LORD through the Scriptures. In the same way, all Gentiles are invited to believe in Him and bless His people according to God’s written Word, the only infallible promises for all the people on earth.
What is an Anti-Christ?
The word “anti” literally means to be opposed to.
So anti-Christ is to attacks anything about Christ; His message, His person, His character.
Anti-Christ is denying that Jesus is the Christ, that He is the Messiah or that He is fully God, His virgin birth, His sinless life and His resurrection, His returning again to judge the world, His supreme King of the universe, He is the Son of God.
This is a study of Jesus being the Lord of Hosts. It is a name of God the Father and also of God the Son. He is also the Captain of the Lord's army. It is a name of great power.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Ahaz rejected God’s help to
overcome his enemies.
The people of Israel suffered
because of the king’s bad decision.
They didn’t want to listen, so they
had to learn the lesson the hard
way.
4. In 734 BC, the Word of God foretold that before the child would be able
to speak clearly and to distinguish between good and evil, the kingdoms
of Israel and Syria would no longer exist (Isaiah 8:4; 7:16).
Two years later, in 732 BC, Syria was conquered by the Assyrian Empire.
In that moment, Isaiah’s son was less than one year old, and he could
only babble.
Twelve years later, in 722 BC, Isaiah’s son
was able to make decisions. Then the
kingdom of Israel was destroyed by
Shalmaneser V. The Israelites were
deported to Mesopotamia and Media
(2K. 17:3-6).
5. “The Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your
people and your father’s house—days that have not come since
the day that Ephraim departed from Judah.” (Isaiah 7:17)
God had promised that He would destroy the kingdoms of Israel and
Syria Himself, so Ahaz didn’t have to do anything about it.
However, Ahaz disobeyed Him and formed an alliance with Assyria.
He also worshipped Syria’s gods because he believed they were more
powerful than God (2 Chronicles 28:22-23).
Therefore, God sent Egypt and Assyria (the fly and the
bee, v. 18) against Judah. He used Assyria as a “hired
razor” to destroy the kingdom of Judah (v. 20).
We should always trust God. Bad consequences
inevitably come when we reject God and rely in people
alone (Psalm 146:3).
6. God asked Isaiah to write down the name of his next son before
witnesses, although her wife had not conceived yet (v. 1-2). This son
would be a sign (v. 18) like the previous one [Shear-Jashub], because
his name [Maher-shalal-hash-baz] meant “Speed the spoil, hasten
the booty.”
It was a warning. Assyria would conquer the lands of
Syria and Israel. However, Tiglath-Pileser III came like
“the waters of the River” and went further. He destroyed
the land of Judah too.
God was merciful. He let him “reach up to the neck”
only, so Judah was not completely destroyed.
The remnant was saved.
7. “But in Judah there dwelt some who
maintained their allegiance to Jehovah,
steadfastly refusing to be led into idolatry. It
was to these that Isaiah and Micah and their
associates looked in hope as they surveyed the
ruin wrought during the last years of Ahaz.
Their sanctuary was closed, but the faithful
ones were assured: ‘God is with us.’ ‘Sanctify
the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your
fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall
be for a sanctuary.’ Isaiah 8:10, 13, 14”
E.G.W. (Prophets and Kings, cp. 27, p. 330)
8. God advised Isaiah not to do what most
people do, not to be afraid of what most
people are, and not to fear what most people
fear (v. 11-12).
God is the only one we should hallow [obey],
fear [respect], and even be afraid of (v. 13).
We truly fear God by acknowledging that He is
the supreme Power of the Universe. If He is
with you, nobody can hurt you without His
permission. If God is against you because you
have rebelled against Him, then you should be
afraid of Him.
9. “Our minds must be stayed upon God, and we must
not fear the fear of the wicked, that is, fear what
they fear, and reverence what they reverence, but be
bold and valiant for the truth. Could our eyes be
opened, we should see forms of evil angels around us,
trying to invent some new way to annoy and destroy
us. And we should also see angels of God guarding us
from their power; for God’s watchful eye is ever over
Israel for good, and He will protect and save His
people, if they put their trust in Him.”
E.G.W. (Early Writings, p. 60)
10. DON’T BELIEVE THE LIES
Most people in Judah and Ahaz himself followed a religion
based on idolatry, divination, and worshipping the dead. All
this went against “the Law and the testimony” of God (v. 20).
This kind of beliefs are still around today. Idols may not be
worshipped openly, but our culture is full of beliefs about the
dead communicating with the living and deciding or
foretelling their future. Spiritualism, modern sorcery, and the
New Age spread this message all around.
We must base our beliefs on the Bible alone and reject those
subtle lies firmly. Rejecting them is a matter of loyalty to
God.
11. “Every individual must seek by earnest prayer
to know the Word of God for himself, and then to
do it […] In all your temporal concerns, in all your
cares and anxieties, wait upon the Lord. Put not
your trust in princes, nor in the sons of man
because they may be in positions of trust. The
Lord has united your heart with Him. If you love
Him, and are accepted in His service, bring all
your burdens, both public and private, to the Lord
and wait upon Him.”
E.G.W. (This Day With God, March 14)
