Isaiah 12

It feeds into a system to dethrone God, which will never happen, because somebody wants to put themselves in the position of God.

Read Isaiah 12, verse 14.

You'll understand perfectly.

Also in public schools, number two on this curriculum is evolution, as I just highlighted.

But you will be filled with joy.

Isaiah 12.

I'm about to come to a close.

Thank you for bearing with me.

Isaiah 12 is a multi-layered prophecy about both the coming new covenant and the eventual triumphant reign of Jesus Christ.

So parts of it apply to living for God in this life and layers apply to living with Him in the life that is to come.

Isaiah chapter 12 and verse number 3 says, shall ye draw water.

Because you need it for something.

So, the Bible says, Isaiah 61.

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.

He has anointed me to bring the good tidings to the poor.

Are you with me? Think of Joseph.

And it was the same guy that woke up and still noticed.

You know why? Isaiah 12 from verse 3.

Never lose your joy.

And I correlate the...

the John 7 scripture to the Isaiah 12 scripture.

As we draw water, it's that living water from the wells of Yeshua, from who Yeshua is.

It's the power of his spirit.

Beautiful.

As we really dig into these sections, maybe a great place to start is Isaiah 12 because Isaiah 12 is a song.

It's a song of praise.

We're also gonna see this song in 25 as well.

What? Will they invite me?

So if I'm in that group or wherever I am sitting with my scriptures or I'm on a drive and I'm listening, Catherine, what was your end goal for us? What are you hoping? How do you feel about all of this?

this?I'm hoping that we come back and take a full circle to Isaiah 12, and that we can say, "God is my salvation.

I will trust and not be afraid." Maybe the question isn't, do I know how the story's going to turn out? Do I know what's gonna happen here or what's going to happen here? Maybe it's more, do I know how the story's going to turn out because I know who is writing the story? Isaiah gives us reason to trust Him.

And then in huge letters I wrote, this is the character of Christ.

Isaiah 12 says behold God is my salvation.

I will trust and not be afraid.

The Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song.

What do you want me to learn about Jesus Christ? And then read your scriptures.

And I promise you that Isaiah is full of our Savior Jesus Christ.

If you read Isaiah 12, it says, Behold, God is my salvation.

I will trust and not be afraid.

The greatest prophecy, well, I won't say it's the greatest prophecy in the entire book of Isaiah because I think that it has a parallel in Isaiah 11.

And that's why I talk about the whole section of Isaiah here from Isaiah 2 to Isaiah 12 essentially as a chiasm because it starts with a bang and it ends with a bang.

Both have to do with the coming of the Lord God of Israel, the Holy One of Israel, the second coming of Christ basically.

But we tend to read Isaiah 2 as Latter-day Saints in reference to ourselves, in reference to a very valid application of Isaiah 2, a very valid likening of Isaiah 2.

Especially a, what, a 23-year-old in upstate New York.

Jeff, Isaiah 2:1-5.

There's the bookend on this side, and then I go to Isaiah 12, and there is a similar bookend.

Is that right? And then in between here is gonna be a lot of repent, repent, repent.
