Discuss Isaiah 40 Page 5

The grass withers the flower fades but the word of our god

What does this verse mean?



Isaiah 40:28 - Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

hat does

Flat earth? Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;........ a pancake?

Is the moon also flat? Believe in Jesus and the flat earth and thou shalt be saved?

Is this something to really argue over?

Jeffrey, Thin logic? Scripture is thin logic?

The Holy Ghost is called God, Jesus is God and the Father is also.

Acts 5:3-4 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to LIE to the HOLY GHOST, and to keep back part of the price of the land? ...thou hast not lied unto men, but unto GOD.

Each Person of the Godhead SPEAKS AUDIBLY in the Bible--

God the Father SAID of Jesus in Matthew 3:17 ..."This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Jesus SAID in John 10:30, " I and my Father are one."

The Holy Ghost SAID in Acts 13:2, ..."Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."

Genesis 1:26-27, And God said, LET US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness...So God created man in his own image, in the image of God [not angels. the "us" can only refer to God.] created he him;

In the Old Testament, we find that God has a Son ( Proverbs 30:4, Psalm 2:7-12) and a Spirit ( Isaiah 40:13, 2 Samuel 23:2, Judges 3:10, etc.).

I Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

The Godhead and salvation.

The Holy Ghost reproves us, teaches us, guides us and testifies of Jesus Christ.

John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, HE shall testify of me:

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

circle of the earth, circle of the earth, circle of the earth.

a pancake?

1. Isaiah 40:22 calls the earth a circle.

2. NASA doesn't control everything in the skies. You tried to discredit some scientists for being from Germany. Is that their fault? My family is from Germany and we're Christian, are you calling us Nazis? Have you even been to Germany? When a country gets a corrupt oppressive ruler its a logical fallacy to assume all its people suddenly become evil. The fact is the vast majority of Germans were against the Nazi rule and were scared and propaganda lies made them not know the truth of what was going on.

3. The circle of the earth is easily proven by flying on an airplane. If you go high up you can see curvature of the horizon. Also, you can fly all the way around the world in a straight line and end up at your place of origin. I've already done this myself and proved the earth is a sphere. Have you ever traveled? This is a very easy experiment you can do, so what would prevent you from doing this? God already gave us the brains and resources to explore our natural world. People already do this all the time for work, vacation, etc. So when you do this you won't see any folds, no 'end' point, which is because its a sphere with gravity pulling from the middle. Otherwise where is your source of gravity? So, you expect to 'fall off' the end and 'down' in space? Where is down? Anyway you could simply take a GPS and plot all the waypoints of your flight then later plot in software and you'll see its a globe/circle just as God said.

4. There's a mountain of photo/video evidence of what the earth looks like from space. Thousands of photos/videos from before CGI was invented and before non-linear video editing was invented. What prevents you from writing/talking to the people who have been space? All the other stars and planets we can already see are also circles/spheres. We have lots of satellites orbiting earth all the time, which allows you to have internet service, to use websites like this, to read the Bible online, etc. God bless!

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth,...SO IS THE EARTH A PANCAKE?

So believe in Jesus and the flat earth and thou shalt be saved? really?

How does believing in a flat earth edify the Lord or change anything?

is the moon and the sun flat also?

Chris, following up on where I left off. As you point out, Hebrews 10:5 "speaks of the temporary, deficient & incompleteness of the sacrificial system & that only God's offering would accomplish God's Purposes." So, the logical conclusion is that if:

1. God prepared a body for Christ

2. And He prepared that human body before creation ( 2 Tim 1:9)

3. And God created mankind in His image

4. Then, can we conclude God created man so Christ could have a human body in His image?

Or was it accidental? God either created man in His image on purpose and with a purpose, or the body for Christ was a convenient accident. Wasn't the Law, to include sacrifices, set up by God as a Shadow of what was to come? If the Law was a Shadow, what was it a Shadow of? For there to be a Shadow, there has to be a real object that casts that Shadow. And which comes first, the shadow or the object that casts that Shadow? Col 2:17. And if a Shadow, when was that Shadow cast? When God used an animal to clothe Adam and Eve? When Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain? Or when Abraham offered his son on the altar?

We see from these Scriptures, I hope, the Shadow of Christ's Sacrifice was cast prior to anything being created. Heb 8:5. Consequently, is it fair to conclude that both the Shadow and the object that casts that Shadow, Christ, were for Christ to enter the world as the True Sacrificial Lamb? Col 2:17, Isa 49:6, 51:5.

Isaiah 40:3 sounds the call to prepare the way for the Lord. You said, "It does not speak of man being created to open the way for Christ to come & be his Sacrifice." But if the call is not to man, who is the call to? Who was to come? A man. Why did God make man in His image? Because an animal could not meet the needs only the Man Christ could satisfy.

And when did Christ start casting the Shadow? He started casting the Shadow back to the beginning of time, from the 1st Century Cross, to before creation. John 8:58. Which came 1st, Man, Shadow or Christ?

Kathy, not sure what you're looking for, but if it has to do with any other Scripture that has resemblance to Psalm 23 in showing God's care for His people, then have a look at: Isaiah 40:9-11; Jeremiah 31:10,11; Ezekiel 34:11-16; John 10:11-17; 1 Peter 2:25. There are of course, many other references to the duty of shepherds & the many shepherds in Israel, not of flocks, but of God's people, who have not done according to what God required of them & therefore received some stern warnings.

Jesus Christ is for believers now, their Great Shepherd, Who not only gave His Life for His sheep, but will one day come to gather them in a special way, into His fold to save them from the Anger of God that is coming upon the world, & to relocate them to a new "sheep pen", i.e. unto Himself in the New Jerusalem where we will be with Him & the Father forever.

A waiter at a restaurant is "waiting" on us as customers. To "wait" upon The LORD is to busy ourselves in service to Him. Yes putting Him first involves us submerging ourselves into His Word His presence and in prayer communing with Him. The Psalmist says,"enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise." That is waiting upon The Lord. The word waiting here does not intend us doing nothing but watching and being only patient. God loves our communion with Him. He brings His results when we do. Hallelujah

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE circle of the EARTH earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Circle of the earth = a pancake? flat earth?

Thank you Donna, what you Shared from your Heart is very very True. Recently I was in Hospital after two accidents and its been hard for me to get Home Help. Im also being Persecuted again f0or my Faith in our Lord and Saviour which I share and Jesus tells us this will happen when we follow Him.It hurt too being abused by two people I Trusted with my Health needs, one claimed to be Christian yet his actions and beliefs showed he had no true understanding but I was once the same so I'm Praying for both of them. But in all my Suffering and Heartache our Awesome God of Love spread His Wings and shielded me from the power of the evil one to destroy my Faith in His Love and Compassion Ps62:5-12.

When we realize in our Hearts we have been Leading only half a Life the other half is going to Reach out to us until we Seek the Lord to Empower us to Live it.

We were made by God and for God, He comes First Nothing else.

Until we Understand what He has Planed for us and what He has Equipped us for we will not feel Fulfilled or Complete. God wants our Love and Friendship without Him in our Life it is without real meaning or purpose. It's only in Jesus Christ that we Discover our Purpose and our Calling.

Isaiah 40: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with Wings as Eagles, they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.

Esaias is the NT Greek rendering of the prophet Isaiah. It is the most quoted old testament book in the new testament I believe.
Compare Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
with
Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight

When God fills a person with His Spirit one can truly soar above the heartaches of this life. How do I know, God has proven this to me. Praise The Dear Name Of Jesus!

As stated above, who or what can we who are the dust of the earth compare Jehovah, GOD with. GOD create all that is seen and unseen. The sun, stars, moon, earth, ..., bees, flowers, ..., are HIS creation. Also mankind is blessed by GOD to be included in GOD creation. Nevertheless mankind foolishly fail to follow the basic instruction from GOD, so GOD introduce us to Mercy, Grace, Redemption through JESUS or John 3:16 -21 and most reject them. Instead we self inflect ourselves with sin then cry wont nobody help me. BUT the remnant apply John 3:16-21 and hold to verse 31 above. Evil is on the offence to seek, seduce, kill, and destroy as many men, women, children, because TIME is near the end.

That is my favorite for encouragement

Isaiah 40:28

as hi said, my life vers! :-

Isiah 40:31 is my life vers, I found this vers in the back of my Bible in a recommended reading section, then I memorized it. I have an inspire bible and as you know there are pictures that you can color and it had an eagle I love eagles!

this is my life verse :-

Verse 7: "vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth." People could use this to 'flat earth' theory, because why would a globe have 'ends'?, despite it saying 'circle of the earth' in Isaiah 40:22

I see Isaiah as symbolic of salvation. the lord sending his son jesus Christ to die for us because of his great love for us . his mercy towards us always forgiving us . God shows his unfailing love for Israel by protecting them ,paying the ransom for them. this is exactly what he has done in sending his son jesus to us.

This is a direct assurance of the Lord to Jacob that thone that Wait upon the Lord will be empowered with true power to walk In Him.

O Lord, nothing compares to you! I am in awe, i cannot speak but your praises. Bless the Name of The Lord, his praise will continually be on my lips. You are high above the heavens and you reign forever.

The Bible indicates that the earth is round. Isaiah 40:22 mentions the circle of the earth. This description fits when the earth is viewed from space the earth always appears as a circle since it is round. Job 26:10 teaches that God has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness. Sunrise to sunset terminates in a circle because the earth is round.

Deals with the theme of comfort and deliverance for the children. Because of her sin, Judah has been in captivity, but God will set the people free! There is comfort for God’s people(40:1-11) the God of Israel is the great Creator and the incomparable, eternal God, who cares for his people. They also have no need to fear, for He will help them through every trial of life!
Wait: renew: not faint:

In all due respect to the aforementioned comment from the young lady who asked about warnings and messages in a dream. Yes, God will communicate with you in any fashion. You must have a discerning ear to hear his quite voice of our Lord. God will give you a vision/dream. He also gives us warnings. You must take heed and obey the Holy Spirit when he is communicating to you. God is POWEARFUL!!
