Topic: Salvation

Summary: Part of the process of becoming a prophet is to experience in a deep way one's own utter weakness, sinfulness, and ill-suitedness to the call. Then the Lord gives a new strength and something to say.

16. 14. In that day thou shalt say, I will confess to Thee, O Jehovah. Behold the God of my salvation, I will be confident. Then with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation, for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee (Isaiah 12:1-6).

In that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 17:4-7).

In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan and swear to Jehovah of Hosts. In that day shall there be an altar in the midst of the land of Egypt; then Jehovah shall be known to Egypt and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day. In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt into Assyria; in that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria; and Jehovah shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt, My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance (Isaiah 19:18-25). By "Egypt" is signified the natural man, by "Assyria" the rational, and by "Israel" the spiritual. The Church of the Lord there is treated of, in which these three are.

O Jehovah, I have waited for Thee; the desire of my soul is to Thy name and to the remembrance of Thee. With my soul have I desired Thee in the night, yea with my spirit within me I have waited for Thee in the morning: for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice (Isaiah 26:8-9).

In that day shall Jehovah of Hosts be for a crown of adornment, and for a diadem of beauty unto the residue of His people, and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that repel the battle before the gate (Isaiah 28:5-6).

Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold I lay in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Then will I lay judgment to the line, and justice to the plummet. Your covenant with death shall be abolished, and your vision with hell shall not stand (Isaiah 28:16-18).
