00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,640
And now here's our host, Susan Michael.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Well, hey there and welcome back to our Going Deeper series this week with a very special

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,160
guest and it's going to be an amazing time together today.

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,360
So warm welcome to everyone.

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,920
We have been on our walk through the Bible and we are now deep into the book of Isaiah

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,840
reading it along with the chronological events of the time that it speaks to.

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,560
So today we're taking a break from the chronology and we're going to talk about the meaning

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,200
of the book of Isaiah and how we can apply it to our lives and how we can apply it to

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,960
the life of our nation at this time.

16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:16,360
And so we have with us today a very dear friend and special guest of Kay Arthur and we all

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,480
know Kay, but let me just say a few words about her through television and radio and

18
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,760
writing and speaking.

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:31,560
God has used Kay to reach millions of households with his truth and she's an author of a hundred

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:39,360
books and Bible study workbooks and she has just built an amazing ministry and has reached

21
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,440
people all around the world with the truth of God's love, with a love for God's word

22
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:53,400
and with the way of studying God's word so that it makes sense and we can apply it to

23
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,040
our lives.

24
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,800
So she has talked of precepts for life reaching 75 million households each day through radio

25
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,840
and television in 30 countries and for more than 20, 90 countries.

26
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,040
Can you believe it?

27
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,560
I mean, wow.

28
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Okay, go ahead.

29
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,200
So we are so blessed to have you Kay and not just because of our love for you, but our

30
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,280
great admiration of you and the ministry that you have built and all the ways that God has

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,720
used you.

32
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,640
So thank you for taking your time to be with us today.

33
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:30,640
You're so sweet.

34
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,240
I appreciate that Susan.

35
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,840
We are dear friends and we met God just bonded our hearts together in a very special, special

36
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,520
way and not only our love of Israel, but our love of the Lord and just, you know, how you

37
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:53,120
meet somebody and you two click and your hearts are the same and yet iron sharpens iron and

38
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,080
so it's a privilege to be here and I shouldn't have interrupted with the 90 countries.

39
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:08,760
I just found out that we're in 90 countries and we're in all the languages of those people,

40
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,320
all those countries that we're in and so and we're teaching people all over the world how

41
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,400
to study the Bible, how to discover truth for themselves and to get into the word of

42
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,400
God.

43
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,080
So it's a privilege and I'm excited about Isaiah.

44
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Aren't you loving what you're learning?

45
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,960
I love Isaiah.

46
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960
I mean, can you believe it?

47
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Yes, yes.

48
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:36,560
I think Isaiah is such an amazing book and I mean, it starts out with Isaiah two talking

49
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:44,560
about the mountain of the Lord and going up and the nations and it ends with 66 talking

50
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,280
about the new heaven and the new earth and I mean, it is such a powerful book.

51
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,680
But please, would you share with us just your initial thoughts, like some introductory

52
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,440
thoughts about the book of Isaiah?

53
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:08,400
I believe that Isaiah is a book that is desperately needed now, that we really need to understand

54
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:16,920
it because when Isaiah opens up, Isaiah is basically people generally divided into two

55
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:27,600
parts and that is the first part is the first chapters, Isaiah chapter one through 39 and

56
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,120
then Isaiah 40 through 66.

57
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:39,480
Isaiah chapter one through 39 talks about God's character and God's judgment and it

58
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520
gives us the why, the why.

59
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:51,720
And I just, I have been taken with what it has to say because it describes our culture

60
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,720
and it describes, I think, I'm sorry to say, but those that profess to know Christ, you

61
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,480
know, and he opens up and he says in verse two, it tells us the days and what he's doing

62
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,480
it.

63
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440
So it's important for you to understand, you know, it's the days of Eusebian, Jotham,

64
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,560
and Ahaz and Hezekiah, the different kings of Judah.

65
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,040
So it covers that amount of time and the things that are going on.

66
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,960
So he says, listen, oh heavens and hear, oh earth, for the Lord speaks.

67
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,360
And so one of the things I think we need to realize is when I open the word of God, this

68
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,160
is the word of God.

69
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,680
And what he says is absolute truth.

70
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:39,440
It's absolute truth and it has the answers to every, every situation of life.

71
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,800
And but it also is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

72
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,880
And so he goes on to say, sons, I've reared up and but they've revolted against me.

73
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,800
He says in Oxnus, it's honored the donkey, it's master's manger, but Israel does not

74
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
know my people do not understand.

75
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,280
And I would say today, people do not understand what is happening.

76
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,640
I mean, we are headed for a great collision course.

77
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,120
The United States of America.

78
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,560
If it survives, what's happening and what's happening in our nation, I will be absolutely

79
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,040
shocked.

80
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,720
And so we're like this because we have a Christian foundation and it says an ox knows its owner

81
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,200
and donkey, its master's manger, but Israel does not know my people do not understand.

82
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity.

83
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,920
Have you ever seen such iniquity as you're seeing in the United States of America?

84
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,440
I'm 87 years old.

85
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000
I've been around for a long time.

86
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
I didn't get saved.

87
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,080
I had a religion, but not a relationship.

88
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,840
I didn't get saved until I was 29.

89
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,200
My life was so messed up.

90
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,480
I was an immoral woman.

91
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,920
I went from man to my first husband, sat me down on the honeymoon, looked at me and said,

92
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,920
you are now Mrs. Frank Thomas Gates Jr.

93
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,720
And these are the things I don't like about you.

94
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,640
No one let them change.

95
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,000
And I found out I was married to a man that was bipolar.

96
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,840
And that was just very, very, very hard.

97
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,280
And it ended up in divorce.

98
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,880
I ended up in immorality.

99
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,920
I knew the commandments of God.

100
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,920
I went to church.

101
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,800
I was baptized, confirmed and thought I was a Christian because I was baptized and confirmed.

102
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Of course, that's not what the Bible says, but we didn't read the Bible that often.

103
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
And it says, sons who act corruptly, they have abandoned the law.

104
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,600
And when we look at what we have done with legalizing abortion, declaring that there

105
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,600
are more than two genders, the things that we are doing are opposed to the word of God.

106
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,640
They're against the word of God.

107
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,920
And we think that we're smart and we think that we've got it, but we've turned away from

108
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,920
God.

109
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,680
And he says, they have despised the Holy One of Israel.

110
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:59,080
And that word, as you go through Isaiah, you'll see Holy One, Holy One, Holy One.

111
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,320
It's used 25 times in the other parts of the scripture.

112
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,880
And all the rest is right here in, in, in Isaiah.

113
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,120
And he says, where will you be stricken again?

114
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,600
So he's chasing them.

115
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,280
God is chasing us.

116
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,960
And he's allowing us to go through this.

117
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,360
So this is a very, very relevant book.

118
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:28,200
And so the first part is, as you look at it, the first 39 chapters are like God's, deal

119
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,800
with God's character and God's judgment.

120
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:40,200
And do you want me to just share a little bit about what I've learned about our messes

121
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,200
and how we get out of them?

122
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Please, because that's the, the beautiful thing with Isaiah.

123
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,120
It's so rich and there's such a message for us personally.

124
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240
So please do share that.

125
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,240
Good, good.

126
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Well, first of all, I would like us to go to, to this, I'm sorry, I have staged myself.

127
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,400
So anyway, y'all have staged myself.

128
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,400
All right.

129
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Because when you come to the second part of the book, which is Isaiah 40 to 66, and you

130
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,840
can remember it because there's 66 books in the Bible, it's God's comfort and redemption.

131
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,120
So here's where you learn more about God.

132
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,120
All right.

133
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Now, in Isaiah chapter 59, which summarizes this, what you read is justice is turned back

134
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:37,600
and righteousness stands far away for truth has stumbled in the streets.

135
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,200
I mean, we have fallen flat on our face because truth is stumbled in the streets.

136
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,200
It's no longer heard.

137
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,920
It says, and uprightness cannot enter.

138
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:53,640
And yes, truth is lacking and he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey.

139
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Now, if I start talking about what the Word of God has to say, and I say there are only

140
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,920
two genders and no homosexuality is not acceptable.

141
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,240
And I start telling what the Word of God is saying, then I'm going to make myself a

142
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,240
prey.

143
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,240
Right.

144
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,320
Are we afraid today to stand up for truth?

145
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160
We know that it's wrong, but we're trying to be tolerant.

146
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,360
We're trying to welcome and we're trying to appease.

147
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,720
And it's because we really don't know God.

148
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,600
So when you go through and you read the Word of God, this is what I do.

149
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,960
Is I, these people were known as the colored pencil people.

150
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:42,400
But anyway, I use yellow for God and I use a yellow pencil, not a marker because it'll

151
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,160
bleed through on your page.

152
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,720
And every time I see something new about God, what I do is I color it yellow so you can

153
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:57,360
look right down and see anything that is significant there that you want to remember

154
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,080
about God.

155
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:08,000
And so what you find out in Isaiah chapter one to 39 is how we get into messes and then

156
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,920
how we get out of them.

157
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,960
And so one of the things that I love is you come to Isaiah chapter nine.

158
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:23,080
When you get to Isaiah chapter nine, you meet G you see this awesome, awesome prophecy about

159
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Jesus.

160
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:33,440
And he's talking about the sad state of affairs in chapter eight and that and then the distress

161
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,480
and the darkness and the gloom of anguish.

162
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,760
And then he says, but there's going to be a time that's coming where there's going

163
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,040
to be no more gloom.

164
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:50,040
And there is going to be a time when the people that are who are walking in darkness will

165
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,040
see a great light.

166
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,840
Do you know what Susan and I are doing?

167
00:11:53,840 --> 00:12:00,120
Susan and I are praying for you that as you go through the word of God, his word is a

168
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,720
lamp unto our feet.

169
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,960
It is a light unto our path.

170
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,200
The passion of this ministry is to help you know God, precept is to help you know God

171
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,960
deeply and to live differently because you know God.

172
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:19,240
And Daniel says the people who know their God are able to stand firm and take action,

173
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,480
not to stand firm and take it, but to take action to know what to do, to be willing to

174
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,480
lay down your lives.

175
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,680
Now, why can you do all of this?

176
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:33,960
Well, he says in, um, in Isaiah and I'm going to have to do this in a hurry, but Isaiah

177
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:41,760
chapter nine verse six for a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us and

178
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,160
the government will rest on his shoulders.

179
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,560
There's a time coming when he is going to govern everything and heaven and everything

180
00:12:50,560 --> 00:13:00,080
on earth and his name will be called wonderful consulate mighty God, eternal father, prince

181
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,080
of peace.

182
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080
He's talking about Jesus.

183
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,480
This child is going to be born and says there will be no end to the increase of his government

184
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,240
or of peace on the throne of David.

185
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000
This is so important to know the throne of David.

186
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,560
David ruled over what nation?

187
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,760
The nation of Israel.

188
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,240
I mean, are you just appalled at the persecution now that is happening from Jews?

189
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,680
It just breaks my heart.

190
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:34,000
It tears it up, you know, and I wrote a novel called Israel, my beloved, and it's a whole

191
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:42,880
history of Israel and it takes us right into, you know, to the expectation and then the

192
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,280
coming of Messiah.

193
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,480
But when you read about it, you read about all the horrible persecution and what was

194
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,160
done in the name of Jesus Christ.

195
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,440
But we know that there will be no end of his government.

196
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,960
That's going to be put to a stop and he's going to rule or a peace on the throne of

197
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:12,160
David and over his kingdom to establish his kingdom and uphold it with justice and righteousness

198
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640
from then on and forevermore.

199
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,480
That's the day we're working for.

200
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,800
And that's the time, you know, if it costs us our life, we lay down our lives for that

201
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,200
time to be absent from the bodies, to be present with the Lord, you know, and so, so, and that's

202
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,560
far better just in case you didn't know it and and that, but we're going to live forever

203
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,760
and ever.

204
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:44,280
And so as you go through the book of Isaiah and you get into God's comfort and redemption,

205
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,000
we come to a point, let me just tell you a story about myself.

206
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Okay.

207
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:57,440
And that is after I got saved, God sent a young man to disciple me and he brought me a Phillips

208
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,440
translation of the New Testament.

209
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Now I had gone from man to man to man and I had been immoral and and that and he said,

210
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,320
okay, he said, now that you belong to God, let me get my ring off.

211
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840
He says, you're like my ring.

212
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:21,800
And he says, and my hand is like the hand of God and God has you in his hand and you

213
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,800
know the scripture.

214
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,040
No one can pluck you out of God's hand and God has you in his hand.

215
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,560
No one can touch you.

216
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,360
No one can say a word to you.

217
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,160
No one can do anything to you without God's permission.

218
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Now he didn't tell me then that he was telling me that God is sovereign.

219
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,160
But when you get to the second session, I mean the second segment, excuse me, second

220
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,160
session, you know, that means we'd like to go on and on.

221
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,280
But anyway, when I love, I'm a boring, I love to teach the word to God.

222
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:02,160
I love to teach absolute pure truth and that that shows us his comfort, his redemption.

223
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:09,200
So you get to Isaiah 45 and then I'm going to throw it back to you, Susan, I promise.

224
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Okay.

225
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,600
But in Isaiah chapter 45, you have this wonderful, wonderful scripture.

226
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:24,400
And this is in the part in the second segment, which is chapter what 40 through 66.

227
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,560
And that's God's comfort and redemption.

228
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:34,840
And so when you get to Isaiah chapter 45, he's, he's talking to Cyrus, he's anointed.

229
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,680
It's a prophecy to Cyrus.

230
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:44,440
The thing is Cyrus hasn't even been born yet and Cyrus won't be born until much, much

231
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,440
later.

232
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,160
And, but he's talking to this guy that's going to be a king.

233
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,920
And here's a prophecy.

234
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,720
He says, whom I have taken by the right hand to subdu nations before him, I'm going to

235
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,640
use him as a great king to make nations bow their knees before him.

236
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,520
And then he says in verse five, I am the Lord and there is no other.

237
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,640
I am the Lord and there is no other.

238
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,560
So once you find God through Jesus Christ, you don't have to search for anyone else

239
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,360
because you know you're God.

240
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:22,800
And he says, I am the Lord and there is no other besides me.

241
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,640
There is no God.

242
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,640
There's no other God.

243
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,960
So anybody that tells you about any other God is wrong.

244
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,340
They're in darkness.

245
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:36,080
He says, I will gird you though you have not known me that men so that you and I, when

246
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,320
we read this might know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one

247
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,760
besides me.

248
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:51,720
I am the Lord and there is no other, the one forming light and creating darkness, causing

249
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,200
well being and creating calamity.

250
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,920
COVID is a calamity.

251
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,880
It's a plague from God.

252
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,120
And so he says, I create well being.

253
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:04,760
I create calamity.

254
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,800
I am the Lord who does all these things.

255
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,040
And so what I learned is God is sovereign.

256
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,240
He rules over all.

257
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,840
None can tell him what to do.

258
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,520
None can stay his hand.

259
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,120
And that because he is God.

260
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:21,720
So you see that in here.

261
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:28,560
So what I learned is instead of mourning about my past and being grieved, I had two sons

262
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,800
and they went through the divorce.

263
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,800
And one of my sons saw me being immoral with a man.

264
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,440
I would find that out later when I would ask him.

265
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,440
And it breaks your heart because you read the Bible and you know what Christianity is

266
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,720
supposed to look like in the home, what the role of the woman is and the role of the man.

267
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,640
And believe me, the roles are different.

268
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,640
And God has said it.

269
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,760
If you want a great marriage, you'll learn what the Bible has to say about it.

270
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,400
We do have a course on marriage without regrets.

271
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:05,000
So when you learn that and you start to walk in this way, precious one, and you walk according

272
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,640
to his word.

273
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:14,400
You know that God has got your back and that he is going to use you in this world in the

274
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,960
midst of a crooked perverse generation as you hold forth the word of life.

275
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:27,000
And so what you see is you see these prophecies, more and more prophecies about Jesus Christ.

276
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,760
And so then when you read the New Testament and see the New Testament, there are more

277
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:39,520
references from Isaiah in the New Testament than all the other prophets, Zachariah or

278
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,240
any of the other prophets.

279
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:51,320
There are more references to God in more quotes, I'm sorry, in the New Testament that are quotes

280
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,980
from Isaiah than any of all the other books combined.

281
00:19:54,980 --> 00:19:57,600
So this is a very, very valuable book.

282
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Now I got carried away.

283
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,280
I got so mad to bubbly inside of me listening to this, so many thoughts.

284
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,080
But I thought you were going to take us to Isaiah 49, which has that beautiful verse

285
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:16,200
about that we're engraved on the palm of his hand when you put the ring in the hand.

286
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,800
And I just think the book of Isaiah holds so much hope for us.

287
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:29,040
No matter what is our personal situation or our national situation, that there is hope.

288
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,040
And of course our hope is found in that child that was born, that the government was put

289
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,040
on his shoulders.

290
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Our hope is found in Jesus.

291
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,440
But we see here in the pages of Isaiah that no matter how bad it gets, and it gets really

292
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:49,440
bad for the people of Israel, that Isaiah is holding out there, but there's hope.

293
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,320
It's coming one day.

294
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,640
It's not all over.

295
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,960
A lot is over, but it's not all over for the people of God.

296
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:06,600
And I think that there's so much we can apply to our national life here in the United States.

297
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:12,120
And I know one of the verses I quote all the time, you and I quoted it together before

298
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:15,680
we started recording, is in Isaiah 5.

299
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,680
And it says, Woe to those who call good evil and evil good.

300
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,800
And that is the day in which we live for sure.

301
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,320
We are completely losing our way.

302
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,000
We don't even know what's right.

303
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,520
We don't know who we can trust.

304
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,560
We don't know who's telling the truth.

305
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,240
And so what a perfect description of our day.

306
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:48,600
But share with us now how Isaiah gives us hope for our national situation.

307
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,600
I will.

308
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,960
And I want to take you back to, because of what you said, you need to, when you read,

309
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,560
I say, Mark Woe's.

310
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:04,920
I take like a red, I make it like a storm hurricane, you know, coming up the, you know,

311
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:05,920
how they look.

312
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,400
And I just do it in, yeah, in a cloud and that.

313
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,960
And I mark the woes.

314
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:20,600
And so he says woe to those who add house to house and join field to field until there's

315
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,280
no more room.

316
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,960
And in other words, they're just building and building and building.

317
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,880
And then he goes on to say, woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue

318
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,720
strong drink.

319
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,400
Then he comes down and says in verse 18, and this is what I think is happening today.

320
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:44,160
I've never seen such wickedness and I've never seen such rebellion and lawlessness and, and

321
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240
that is I'm seeing in the United States of America.

322
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,880
And, and I remember a different day.

323
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,680
I'm old enough, you know, to re remember a different time in America, but woe to those

324
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,240
who drank iniquity with the cords.

325
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood and sin as if with cart roads.

326
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,280
And then he's who say, let him like God makes speed, let him hasten his work that we may

327
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,360
see it and let the purpose of the Holy one of Israel drawn near.

328
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:21,480
And so he goes on, then he says, one who, who calls evil good and good evil, who substitutes

329
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:28,440
darkness for light, you know, and Isaiah chapter eight, he says, if they don't speak

330
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,400
according to this word, this is just before the prophecy in Isaiah chapter nine.

331
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,960
If they don't speak according to this word, it's because there's no dawn in them.

332
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,760
They don't have light.

333
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,160
The sun has never risen.

334
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,640
They they're in total darkness who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for better.

335
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,400
Woe to those that are wise in their own eyes, clever in their own sight.

336
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,640
Woes to those who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant men and mixing strong drink who

337
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,360
justify the wicked for a bribe and take away the rights of the ones who are in the right.

338
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,920
And so he goes on and on and on.

339
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,440
And so as you go through, you're going to see, you know, the judgments of God.

340
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,720
But I just want to say that when, when we, when you finish with this, I would go back

341
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,520
when you finish listening to this, I would go back and I would read Isaiah six.

342
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:29,440
And there you see the Lord on the throne and there you see what he's, what he's telling

343
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:35,160
Isaiah to do and he's telling us to keep going and keep speaking.

344
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,440
And you can read it all.

345
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,520
And then he reminds us, there's a holy seed in the stump.

346
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,920
He's going to cut down the tree.

347
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,920
If there's a holy seed, God will always have a witness on this earth.

348
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:52,880
So when you go through the book of Isaiah, you're going to find much that you are going

349
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,480
to want to mark.

350
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,560
One of the things that you're going to want to mark, and this is what I do is I put a blue

351
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:05,680
cloud around it and then I shade it blue on this outside and then yellow on the inside.

352
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,080
And that's where I mark every reference to the coming of the Lord and to his kingdom.

353
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:19,680
And when he is going to, when he is going to rain and all that's going to happen, you

354
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,520
know, our time is drawing to a close, isn't it, Susan?

355
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Is it?

356
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Well, we're getting close, but just a few more minutes.

357
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,440
Okay.

358
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,440
Right.

359
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Because I wanted to invite me back.

360
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,440
No, no.

361
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:44,040
But one of the things that, and I just feel like I just need to share this, what if you

362
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,000
don't believe?

363
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,760
What if you don't buy the whole story?

364
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,400
What if you say, well, I'll believe this about the word of God, but I will not believe this.

365
00:25:53,400 --> 00:26:02,880
You know, Jesus said that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes

366
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,120
from the mouth of God, every one of these words has been watched over and preserved by the

367
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,120
Almighty God.

368
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:14,400
I mean, if he can speak and through his words, bring the world into existence, certainly he

369
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,880
can take care and watch over his word to perform it.

370
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,120
And so this is, we are to live by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

371
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:26,680
There are 66 books in the Bible.

372
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,320
How many books do you think God wants you to know?

373
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,320
How about 66?

374
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,920
Yeah, he wants you to know 66 books.

375
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,920
This is your life.

376
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,240
This is your life.

377
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:48,040
And Moses says this, he says in Deuteronomy, in his farewell speech, he says, this is your

378
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,520
life.

379
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,040
And so I just want to urge you, you've got to know the word of God.

380
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,600
I am so thrilled that Susan is taking you through the different books of the Bible.

381
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,320
God laid this on her heart and she's being obedient to it.

382
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,680
And so now you need to do your part.

383
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:13,160
It's no accident that God puts you onto this podcast because God wants to speak to you

384
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:20,320
and God wants to take you into greater maturity in Isaiah and the way it closes.

385
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,880
How many chapters are in Isaiah?

386
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,640
How many books are in the Bible?

387
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,040
By the way, how many books do you know that are in the Bible?

388
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,400
How many books have you studied that are in the Bible?

389
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,400
So there are 66.

390
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:40,520
Well, when you get to the end of Isaiah, when he's wrapping up this whole big prophecy,

391
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:46,040
listen to what he talks about in those last, last verses.

392
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:54,200
In Isaiah chapter 66, and he's talking about heaven as the throne, his throne in the earth,

393
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,440
this is first rule, and that.

394
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,040
And then he talks about all the things that are going to happen.

395
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,560
And then this is the way he closes the book.

396
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:10,280
And he says, I will make some of them for priests and lead vices, telling what's going

397
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,480
to happen on this new holy mountain, the new heavens and the new earth, which I make will

398
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,680
endure before me, or can have a brand new heaven, brand new earth, and so that your

399
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,600
name, your offspring and your name will endure.

400
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:29,600
Now just remember, God created the nation of Israel.

401
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,320
And the one that is going to rule over this kingdom is the son of David, who's from the

402
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,720
tribe of Judah.

403
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:43,320
And Jesus is going to be king of kings, and David is going to rule underneath him.

404
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:49,920
And he says, and it shall be from new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all

405
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,520
mankind will come and bow down before me.

406
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,800
All mankind will come and bow down before me.

407
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,680
Then they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men.

408
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,600
Now listen, from new moon to new moon, this is going to be our pattern of life.

409
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,600
I have eternal life.

410
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,600
I don't fear death at all.

411
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840
I know absent from the body present with the Lord.

412
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,600
I know He doesn't, will not give me anything that I cannot bear.

413
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,160
And I know that all that comes into my life is filtered through the sovereign fingers

414
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,400
of love.

415
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,640
So there's no fear.

416
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,640
Perfect love.

417
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,160
He loves me with the perfect love.

418
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,960
Cast out all fear.

419
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:36,040
But now he's going to come and he's going to look down on the corpses, on the bodies

420
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,600
of the men who have transgressed against me.

421
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:51,880
He says, for their worm will not die and their fire will not be quenched.

422
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,320
And they will be, they will be an abhorrence.

423
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,200
That's why it was going like this.

424
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,920
An abhorrence to all mankind.

425
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,320
You're going to be able to see the people in the lake of fire.

426
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000
There is a lake of fire.

427
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,680
And this is what God is saying.

428
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,880
You say, well, I don't want that kind of God.

429
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,960
Honey, I mean, or sir, this is the only God there is.

430
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,200
All others are the figments of man's imagination.

431
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:28,480
This is a God that loves you so much that he took his son who was without sin, who knew

432
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,440
no sin, and made him to be sin for you and for me.

433
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,880
He took all of our sins and Jesus, who knew no sin, hanging on that cross was made to

434
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,880
be sin.

435
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,960
And that's why he said, Eloi, Eloi, Lama Svoklin, he screamed it.

436
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:51,440
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

437
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Because Jesus took and paid for your sins.

438
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,600
They buried him and he rose the third day.

439
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,800
He is the God of life.

440
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,760
But you can know there are two places.

441
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,960
There's a new heaven and the new earth, and there's the lake of fire where the worm does

442
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,360
not and the fire is not quenched.

443
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Oh, precious one, this is your life.

444
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,800
This is your life.

445
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,880
You need to study it.

446
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,280
I'm so thrilled that you're going through this with Susan.

447
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,680
And I'm so excited, Susan, thank you for inviting me to be a part of this.

448
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,400
Now, how powerful.

449
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,640
And if this, maybe you've tuned in and this is the first time that you've heard this

450
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:38,680
message, we invite you now to just give your life to the Lord, invite him into your heart

451
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:44,640
and make him Lord of your life because you will never be the same.

452
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,560
And you will be one of those that he looks down upon and it's like you are mine.

453
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,680
You are engraved on the palm of my hand.

454
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,440
We're safe in the palm of his hand once we have invited him into our life and we've

455
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,920
dedicated our lives to him.

456
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,600
So we invite you to do that now.

457
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:09,280
And can I tell you one thing before they do it?

458
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:15,120
I got saved July 12th, 1963.

459
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,160
When I got saved, I was 29 years old.

460
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,720
I tried to stop being immoral and I couldn't do it.

461
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:23,720
I was so hungry.

462
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,520
I wanted a man's love.

463
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,800
And I just ran upstairs.

464
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,600
I left my two boys downstairs and I ran upstairs and I fell down beside my bed and I said,

465
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
God, I don't care what you do to me.

466
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,040
I don't care if I never see another man as long as I live.

467
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:49,240
I don't care if you paralyze me from the neck down, if you will just give me peace.

468
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,080
And there on my knees, he gave me the Prince of Peace.

469
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,840
That's what Isaiah 9 is all about.

470
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:03,400
And he called me beloved when there was nothing lovely about me.

471
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,480
And this is what I read in Romans chapter, I think it's chapter 9.

472
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,360
He says, and he called her beloved when there was nothing lovely about her.

473
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,040
Listen to Susan.

474
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Listen and come.

475
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,840
And Susan, forgive me for interrupting, but I just didn't want to close the program without

476
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,840
telling me.

477
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Would you lead us in prayer then?

478
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Yes.

479
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:35,400
Father, I'm so thankful that you tell us that if any person be in Christ, they are a new

480
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,920
creation.

481
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,120
All things have passed away and all things have become new.

482
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Oh, Father, you know the ones that are listening to this.

483
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:52,720
You know the ones that will listen to it because their friends are going to tell them.

484
00:33:52,720 --> 00:34:00,800
And Father, I just pray right now, oh, God, that you would open the eyes of their understanding

485
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:07,640
that they would see the Holy One of His real, who will help them to be holy, even as Jesus

486
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,160
is holy, Father.

487
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:19,000
Holy sins forgiven, Father, a new creation in Christ Jesus, their bodies your temple.

488
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,880
And Father, your Holy Spirit within them to guide them and direct them and lead them.

489
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:31,880
Oh, Father, I pray that you would create such a longing within them for the peace that passes

490
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,440
all understanding for the Prince of Peace, for the kingdom where there is no end to His

491
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,440
peace.

492
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,400
I pray that they would so long for that they would fall to their knees if they don't know

493
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:50,400
you and that they would cry to you and say, God, I have sinned.

494
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:58,000
I have turned away from you and I am so sorry and I have ignored you and your word and I

495
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,760
confess that and I confess my need of you and I thank you that you've loved me so much

496
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,200
that you gave me your song.

497
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:15,560
And I ask you now, Lord Jesus Christ, to be my Lord, to be my God, to be my Savior, to

498
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,760
be my Redeemer.

499
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:25,280
I thank you, Father, that Isaiah is about your redemption and the comfort that you bring

500
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,280
to them.

501
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,880
May they experience your redemption, may they experience your comfort.

502
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,600
And Father, would you help them to want to feed on your word daily?

503
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Daily.

504
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,800
We live daily by every word that comes from your mouth.

505
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,920
So Father, do your work in their lives and Father, give them then the courage or the

506
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:56,000
joy to share it with someone else because if we confess you before men, you will confess

507
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,800
us before our fathers in heaven.

508
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,280
And Father, no need to look into the lake of fire because we won't be there because

509
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,920
we're going to live forever.

510
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:06,920
Thank you, Lord.

511
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:13,400
In Jesus' precious name, for this woman and for the privilege of being Susan's friend

512
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,520
and sister and co-labor.

513
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,720
In Jesus' name, we thank you.

514
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:19,720
Thank you, Kay.

515
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:24,560
I'm so humbled and we're so grateful for your time today.

516
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,760
I know that we'd love to do one of these broadcasts on every book of the Bible, but

517
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,840
what we'll do is, is towards the end of our year when we're wrapping up our walk through

518
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:42,000
the Bible, I'd love to have you back and talk about your inductive Bible study, your method

519
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,600
and where our people can go next to go deeper in their study of God's Word.

520
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,640
And so we'll definitely have you back.

521
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,000
And in the meantime, I think, aren't you the one that told everybody about this special

522
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,680
pencil with the multiple colors in it?

523
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:07,840
And I've been promoting that to our readers and I told them about my little coloring system

524
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:15,720
and that all through my Bible, you can trace the subject based on the color of the underlining.

525
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:20,960
And so we look forward to having you back. I want everyone to know that in today's show

526
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:28,800
notes, which are right below, we're going to link to several of Kay's resources for

527
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,800
you.

528
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,840
And the first is her study on Isaiah.

529
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:39,800
She has a study that is called Face to Face with the Holy God.

530
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,800
Thank you.

531
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,800
There it is.

532
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,560
We're going to link to that in the show notes so that you can get a copy of that and go

533
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,560
deeper into Isaiah.

534
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:53,200
Today was just like barely scratching the surface of Isaiah.

535
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,400
And then also her inductive Bible.

536
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,680
So we're going to give you a link to that.

537
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:06,200
And thirdly, she mentioned to you today a book that she wrote a number of years ago called

538
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,280
Israel My Beloved.

539
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,880
And so we're also going to link to that in case you would like to also pick up that

540
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,480
resource.

541
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,120
So once again, Kay, one million thank yous.

542
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,760
You've blessed our audience.

543
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,040
You've blessed all of us with the Word of God today.

544
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,760
And we want to thank all of you who have joined us.

545
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Please take advantage of these resources and follow Kay's other teachings.

546
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:39,280
And we'll see you back here in a few days as we continue our walk through the Bible

547
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,720
as we are going through the book of Isaiah.

548
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,240
So we'll see you back then until then.

549
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:46,240
God bless.

550
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:52,080
