Isaiah
Chapter 43
1
But now thus said Jehovah/God . . .
Who
created you, O Jacob,
and
He Who formed you, O Israel, Fear not . . .
for
I have redeemed you,
I
have called you by your name.
You are Mine.
2
When you pass through the waters,
I
will be with you;
and
through the rivers,
they
shall not overflow you.
When
you walk through the fire,
you
shall not be burned;
neither
shall the flame kindle upon you.
3
For I am Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
the
Holy One of Israel . . . your Savior.
I
gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia
and Seba for you.
4
Since you were precious in My sight,
you
have been honorable,
and
I have loved you.
Therefore
will I give men for you,
and
people for your life.
5 Fear not . . . for I am with you.
I
will bring your seed from the east,
and
gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, Give up.
And to the south, keep not back.
Bring
my sons from far,
and
my daughters from the ends of the earth.
{Purpose
of Creation of Man's Soul - For the Glory of God}
7~~Even
every one who is called by My Name
{Jisrial/Israel - means Prince of God} . . .
I
have created him
{bara -something out of nothing - soul of man}
for
My glory.
I
have formed/molded him.
{yatsar - body of man}
Yes,
I have constructed/manufactured him
{'asah - out of something else}
{Note: The body of man does not 'glorify God'. Only the SOUL can bring Glory to Jehovah/God! People need to emphasize THINKING not DOING!}
8
Bring forth the blind people who have eyes,
and
the deaf who have ears.
9
Let all the nations be gathered together,
and
let the people be assembled . . .
who
among them can declare this,
and
show us former things?
Let
them bring forth their witnesses,
that
they may be justified.
Or
let them hear, and say, 'It is Truth'.
{'emeth - truth and 'that which we believe to be true' - doctrine}
10
You are My witnesses, said Jehovah/God,
and
My servant whom I have chosen . . .
that
you may know and believe Me,
and
understand that I am He.
Before
Me there was
no
'El/God formed/molded {yatsar}
neither
shall there be after Me.
11
I, even I, am Jehovah/God . . .
and
beside Me there is no Savior.
12
I have declared, and have saved,
and
I have showed,
when
there was no strange {god} among you.
Therefore
you are My witnesses, said Jehovah/God,
that
I am 'El/God.
13 Yes, before the day {was} I . . . {am} He.
And there is none who can deliver out of my hand.
I will work, and who shall let it?
14
Thus said Jehovah/God,
your
redeemer, the Holy One of Israel . . .
For
your sake I have sent to Babylon,
and
have brought down all their nobles,
and
the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15
I am Jehovah/God, your Holy One,
the
creator of Israel, your King.
16
Thus said Jehovah/God,
Who
makes a way in the sea,
and
a path in the mighty waters . . . 17
Who
brings forth the chariot and horse,
the
army and the power.
They shall lie down together, they shall not rise.
They are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18
Remember you not the former things,
neither
consider the things of old.
19
Behold, I will do a new thing;
now
it shall spring forth.
Shall you not know it?
I
will even make a way in the wilderness,
and
rivers in the desert.
20
The animal/beast of the field shall honor Me,
the
crocodiles/dragons and the owls . . .
because
I give waters in the wilderness,
and
rivers in the desert,
to
give drink to My people, My chosen.
21
This people have I formed/molded for Myself;
they
shall show forth My praise.
22
But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob;
but
you have been weary of Me, O Israel.
23
You have not brought Me
the
small cattle of your burnt offerings;
neither
you have honored Me with your sacrifices.
I
have not caused you to serve with an offering,
nor
wearied You with incense.
24
You have bought Me no sweet cane with money,
neither
you have filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But
you have made Me to serve with your sins,
you
have wearied Me
with
your 'punishment for sins'/iniquities {`avon}.
25~~
I, even I {the Lord speaks to us},
am
He Who blots out your transgressions . . .
for
your sake,
furthermore,
I will not remember your sins.
{Note: This is the 'spirit of pardon' - the spirit of individual forgiveness one to another. David missed this in II Samuel 14:24. You must separate the 'person' from the "person's failure".}
26 Put Me in remembrance.
Let us plead together.
Declare you, that you may be justified.
27
Your first father has sinned,
and
your teachers have transgressed against Me.
28
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
and
have given Jacob to the curse,
and
Israel to reproaches.
