Discuss Isaiah 8 Page 2

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony If they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.

Sheri-- Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Test the spirit ask Him for the Holy Spirit in guiding you and your daughter. Pray for protection, Satan does not like it that your daughter loves Jesus so he will do all he can to confuse her into believing the wrong spirit.

Blessed are those who do his commandments.

GOD Brings forth the comforting that those who are faithful to him and seek him shall be protected from those who seek the false doctrine of this world 7

It was also prophesied that Jesus would have disciples. Isaiah 8:16] Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
[17] And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

Ray321; AMEN Brother! How can we get saved without the word of God? How can we continue in His grace without the word of God? Isaiah 8:20 literally translated, says, "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no *light (i.e. a dawning; as one up early to a task; URGENCY!) in them." If there's no burning hunger for God's word there's darkness!

"They received the word with all readiness of mind..." READINESS; Gk prothumia; a predisposition, i.e. alacrity (eager willingness or readiness, often manifested by quick, lively action; liveliness or briskness); forwardness of mind, readiness (of mind), ready (willing) mind. This goes with Isaiah 8:20; that, not speaking according to "THIS WORD" is because of no urgency, as if up early to a task.

Isaiah 8:20 - "To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word; it is because there is no light in them." Acts 17:11 "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Job 23:12; Psalms 56:10; Psalms 119:104,128; Deuteronomy 6:8; 8:2-3; 11:18; etc.

"I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus." Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." If a man speaks against the Truth, and if he deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, he is of antichrist.

Insight777; Jesus NEVER denied being of the seed of David according to the flesh, and He did not come to abolish the Law, but to completely fulfill it. Read Isaiah 8:20.

Spiritism comes in many forms. Jehovah warns us that this is not harmless fun, but contact with demons. He urges not to turn to fortune tellers, palm readers, or tarot cards. Though we ourselves may not perform these acts we do not want to associate ourselves with those who do. This includes our music and entertainment. This may be a struggle, but if we fight it we can be blessed.

Verse 13 shows that it is Jehovah God that we should fear. We may have a measure of fear of men, but God is all powerful and we should have more fear of Him and displeasing Him than any man.

Trust in God is vital for any true success to be released in our lives.

This chapter 8v17 to 20 is to let the whole world and especially Christians know that God is in control of all situations and anyone who seeks, believes and calls on Him shall be a winner all the time. "Shall people not seek their God?" I pray for our brethren in Arab nations, may our God strengthen them in this time of tribulation in Jesus name Amen.

I like this bible verse with Isaiah 8:20

Verses 9 10 of this chapter has clearly made us the children of to know that no matter how many or powerful our enemies can be, as long as GOD is with us they can do but nothing.These are verses that should boost our moral.

We need God 's approval expressly for any action to be activated

Those that put their trust in God , will never be subdue to any evil plan,, and the wicked are given free mouth to talk.. But when they talk it shall not stand for God can never fall his people!!

When I had a dialog with an Islamic mullah for a long time, he was trying to prove that their book was the final word from God, my argument was your book is from your god, but our God Jehovah has nothing to do with your book. Later when I was going through the Bible, Holy Spirit pointed the word in Isaiah 8 16 to me, and when I had discussions later I pointed out to the Islamic mullah the Isaiah 8 16 I clearly told him the last disciple of John fulfilled the prophesy in Isaiah 8 16 at the book of Revelation 22 18 19 and clearly convince him that no more written prophecy from God after Revelation 22 18 19 so there for I persuaded to him that their book is not from God, it is only from an another god.

Verses 13 14 "Don 't fear anything except the Lord of the armies of heaven! If you fear him, you need fear nothing else. He will be your safety, but Israel and Judah have refused his care and thereby stumbled against the Rock of their salvation and lie fallen and crushed beneath it. " Paul in 1 Corinthians 10 4 identified the Lord, the Rock of their salvation, with Jesus "For they all drank from the miraculous Rock that traveled with them, and that Rock was Christ. " Was Paul wrong? I don 't thinks so. He was simply stating the amazing truth that was revealed to him the God of the Old Testament was Jesus. When we understand this truth, it opens up the Gospel to us as we never before understood it. It explains to us why Paul erndorsed the name Christians for us. And it also explains to us why Jesus came to us as a Jew, the son of Abraham and David. He is the same God they worshiped and loved, and the same God they put their faith in. Jesus caused people to stumble and fall because they don 't know who he is. What I am saying is, if they knew him as their God, and the Rock of their salvation, they wouldn 't wouldn 't be so easliy led astray from him as the Jews of old were. Yes, God has two other personalities, the Father and the Holy Spirit, but they are not the way God saves us. You must address God as Jesus to be saved. As it says in Romans 10 "13 "For 'Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. " Let 's pray to Jesus!

God is wonderful and powerful nobody can understand his thought

Every word that procedes from the almighty God is a command and is a law which regulates our christian way of living holy life This is summarised in the Ten Commandments see luke 16 17 Mathew 5 17 19 and james 2 9 12 And the testmony is the mystery of jesus christ displayed on the cross when He declared all humanity saved by His death see Romans 5 12 and Romans 5 15

For i knw n undrstand God cant stay whr there z darkness as da children of God we must knw whr we ar

(Verses 13-14) "Do not fear anything except the Lord Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else. He will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah he will be a stone that cause people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall."

Notice that this is speaking of the Lord Almighty. But Peter in 1 Peter 2:8 applied this to Jesus when he said, "An the Scriptures also say, "He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that will make them fall."

This means that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, as well as the God of the New Testament. I know this is hard for many people to understand because of our religious tradition. But it is true. This is all cleared up when we understand that God has more than one self identity. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is the way God directs his affairs. The Holy spirit is the way God inspires us to bdlieve. But the Son Jesus is the way God speaks to us.

Please consider this when you do your Bible study!

The word of God is great and true in all ways. My fave' verses are Proverbs 3:5,6. We have proved them to be true time and time again. We recently moved to another State in Australia and put our trust in Him to find us a house we could afford. Sure, it took Him four days but He came up with a house we could pay for and completely gut and rebuild both the kitchen and bathroom.
Our God is great and in control of all things. Never forget it!!

In Christ there is the instructions toward the old man of the old testementas well as the branch that budded sinifying his priesthood him at the presence of the Father ever pleading on behalf of his brothers for mercy to be granted even to the new man for salvaging our fleshly life into eternal life with himself first born of us the dead enlighthened with real god knowledge a blessing to all the nations.

Simply astounding,deep&calming. God is our all. Why do we look everywhere else yet kingdom priority means "we seek first His Kingdom&righteousness&all else follows?"...thank you.

in Isaiah 7:14 it becomes obvious that this is a misstranslation of the name Immanuel as well as the women being a virgin. this is seen in Isaiah 8:1-3 were God tell Isaiah what to name his son as well as whos haveing this son which is Isaiah wife the prophetess. Also in Isiah 8:8-10 it tell you who Immamuel is and it would be God himself. the name Immamuel as we know is in Hebrew means, God is with us as it stated in vs 10. now I've ask my self this question, how come on one has seen this before after all these years and how come this is not fixs is the truth that hard to take, I dont think so. if anyone is going to follow Jesus they want the truth about him not something that isn't true.

Proverbs 8 starts with two provoking and penetrating questions! In other words, can you hear the cry of Wisdom and knowledge in the society where you are and where you go! Interestingly, hardly is there any profession or discipline that does not have its light, but the light of the Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ, surpasses all of them. And therefore, through this chapter, we have an invitation to examine ourselves and look, as it were, very carefully and thoroughly in to who we are and what we are into. You see, in the work place, if you have even been involved in any sort of work, you are likely to notice that if you must get for instance to the top of the ladder in that sort of organisation or whatever, you can’t ignore hard work, high level of discipline, passion, integrity, and also commitment that is more than the ordinary. And, in all civilised society particularly in the Western World- and also in some others, you can notice elements of order, wherever you go. These did not suddenly happen- and often there must have been years of hard work, planning and all manner of inputs into it- and that is why sometimes you can smell migrants relocating into some of these areas from other places. But what has this got to do with Proverbs 8? Well, you see, in life, all things have some measure relativity with one another. Therefore, the importance and the high relevance and necessity of the Word of God, in the life of a Christian. The fact is that, if we are genuinely born again we must have heard that, as far as the Kingdom of God is concerned, your fellowship and intimacy with the Triune God, and the level of investment that we commit in terms of prayerful time in His Word can’t be ignored. There are spaces and there are seats? There are dominions and there are thrones? There are doors and there are entrances. The truth is that the space that you give God is what He will occupy and that is because it is the entrance of God’s Word into the spiritual man that giveth light, Psalm 119:130. In fact it says: To the law and to the testimony if they speak not according to this book, it is because there is no light in them, Isaiah 8:20. This also points to the importance of true knowledge of the Holy Writ- and it can’t simply happen except we are really serious about it. It is also true that what you pay attention to has one way of the other, of determining the course of your life- hence the immense relevance of intensive immersion in the Holy Writ- and that is through, whatever manner of the dispensing and administering of the preached Word that comes your way. If the Holy Writ says: ‘’Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…’’, Matthew 6:33; that is precisely what it meaneth! It is also the case that if it says, ‘’Delight yourself in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart’’ ( Psalm 37:4), indicating and connoting, investment of great amount of time in God’s Word, through prayers , fellowship with God, reflecting upon His Word, and the practice of it, then that is what it sayeth! That means you and I, are the ones to determine the measure of obedience that we put in place vis a vis the will of God as He reveals it to us differently. The interesting things about it is that no matter your depth of knowledge about these things, God’s Word is unfathomable, and when you become a student of His Word, very soon, you would come to an understanding that, God, in His righteousness, love, holiness and immeasurable generosity, is truly and really worthy of honour, adoration, praise and worship. Blessed be His holy name forever and ever. Hallelujah!

The word that comes from the Lord is so powerful that if we can only believe it, we would not have to worry about anything in this world. We would only speak the word.
