Isaiah
Chapter 55
{Principle
of Grace}
1
Ho, every one who thirsts,
come
you to the waters.
And he who has no money; come you, buy, and eat.
Yes,
come, buy wine and milk
without
money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread?
And you labor for that which satisfies not?
'Hear,
listen and obey' {shama`} diligently unto Me,
and
eat you that which is good,
and
let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live.
And
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even
the sure mercies of David.
4
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people,
a
leader and commander to the people.
5
Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not,
and
nations that knew not you
shall
run unto you
because
of Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
for the Holy One of Israel . . .
for
He has glorified you.
6
Seek you Jehovah/God
while
He may be found,
call
you upon Him while He is near.
7
Let the wicked forsake his Way,
and
the unrighteous man his thoughts . . .
and
let him return unto Jehovah/God,
and
He will have mercy upon him.
And
to our 'Elohiym/Godhead,
for
He will abundantly pardon.
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts.
Neither are your Ways . . . My Ways, said Jehovah/God.
9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so
are My Ways higher than your Ways,
and
My Thoughts than your thoughts.
{Note: This is the reason why a believer MUST study, study, study - daily . . . consistently the Word of God. We must replace our thoughts (norms and standards in the conscience of our soul) with His thoughts. Then we can apply His divine viewpoint to experience and HE receives the glory! It is HIS THOUGHTS working through us - and we do so from our own free will.}
10
For as the rain comes down,
and
the snow from heaven,
and
returns not there,
but
waters the earth,
and
makes it bring forth and bud,
that
it may give seed to the sower,
and
bread to the eater . . . 11
so
shall My Word
{as of 96 AD, in final written form - the Bible}
be
that goes forth out of My Mouth.
It shall not return unto Me void/empty.
But
it shall accomplish that which I please,
and
it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12
For you shall go out with joy,
and
be led forth with peace.
The
mountains and the hills
shall
break forth before you into singing,
and
all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree.
And
it shall be to Jehovah/God for a name,
for
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
