Keep From Polluting, [a.k.a. defiling] the Sabbath |
Isaiah 56:1-21 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Lord says [this, Obey] judgment & do justice. For My Salvation is [soon] to come & My righteousness [is soon] to be revealed. Blessed is the man [who] does this & the son of man, [who embraces] it & keeps from [defiling] the Sabbath & keeps his hand from doing any evil. |
Neither let the son of the stranger, [who] has joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, the Lord has [totally] separated me from His people. Neither let the eunuch say, [Look,] I am a dry tree. [Acts 8:32-35 The place of the scripture [that] he read was this, He was led [like] a sheep to the slaughter & like a [mute] lamb [in front of] his shearer. So He [didn't] open His mouth. |
In His humiliation, His [justice] was taken away. And who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip & said, I pray [that] you [tell,] of Whom the prophet speaks this? Of himself, or some other Man? Then, Philip opened his mouth & began at the same scripture & preached [about] Jesus to him.] |
For the Lord says [this] to the eunuchs, [who] keep My Sabbaths & choose the things that please Me & [embrace] My Covenant. I will give, even to them a place & a name better than of sons & daughters within My walls in [My] house. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. |
[Revelation 2:17 He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give to him, [who] overcomes, to eat of the hidden manna & will give him a white stone & on the stone a new name written, which no man knows, [except] he, [who] receives it.] |
Also, the sons of the [strangers who] join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him & to love the Name of the Lord, to be His servants & everyone [who] keeps the Sabbath & from [defiling] it & [embraces] My covenant, even [those] I will bring to My Holy mountain & make them joyful in My house of prayer. |
Their burnt offerings & their sacrifices shall be accepted upon [My] altar. For [My] house shall be a house of prayer for all people. [Romans 10:9-13 That if you shall confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes [that leads to] righteousness & confession with the mouth [that leads to] Salvation. |
For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him, shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. the Gentiles, the heathen & those who don't know & love the Lord God.] For the same Lord over all is rich to all [who] call upon Him. For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.] |
The Lord God, [Who] gathers the outcasts of Israel says, [Still,] I will gather others to him, [besides] those [who] are gathered to him. All you [animals] of the field, come to devour. [Yes,] all you [animals] in the forest. |
[Isaiah 60:10-11 And the sons of strangers shall build up your walls & their kings shall minister to you, for in My [anger,] I struck] you, but in My favor, I have had mercy on you. Therefore, your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day, nor night; [so] that men may bring to you, the [troops] of the Gentiles & their kings.] |
His watchmen are blind. [Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman [for] the house of Israel. Therefore, hear the Word at My mouth & give them warning from Me.] |
They are all ignorant & are all [mute] dogs. They can't bark; [whether] sleeping, lying down, [they love] to slumber. [Yes,] they are greedy dogs [that] can't have enough. And they are shepherds that can't understand. |
From his [living] [quarters,] they all look to their own [path] & everyone for his [own] gain. They say, Come you & I will [get] wine & we will fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be [like today, but] much more abundant. |
