An interesting one today. It's Isaiah, so a Lot of bad news because of the constant evil and rebellion of the Israelites, with some blessings sprinkled in. And more prophesies directly about Jesus than one would remember. Traditionally, Isaiah was sawed in half by the evil son of King Hezekiah who was a genuinely decent king. God told him he was going to die early, but unfortunately Hezekiah humbled himself and prayed and begged God to let him live because it is implied that he has no sons to take the throne after he died, and it was honestly the worst thing that could have happened. God said he could live 15 more years. And sons were born to Hezekiah. And nothing but immense grief resulted. One of his sons, Manasseh, became an absolutely evil and disgraceful idolator running his kingdom into the ground for an abusive 45 years, and again, as tradition would have it, he murdered his father's friend and counsellor, Isaiah. Some really beautiful verses that stuck out to me today. Screw the nonsense climate change depopulation lie. 25;8,9-He will swallow up death in victory; He will abolish death forever. And the Lord will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it.
