Isaiah 42:9 “See, the former things have taken place,    and new things I declare;before they spring into being    I announce them to you.” Everywhere I read in Isaiah resonates in me, often leaving me at a loss as to what I am to write … Continue reading

Prophecy; November 2, 2024

Isaiah; September 24, 2023


Acts 8:35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. God gave Philip a very easy assignment here, because the passage in question is from Isaiah 53. I enjoy watching Internet … Continue reading
