What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The literary structure of the Bible book of Isaiah is striking when one takes a step back to look at the larger scope. After a pentateuch of introduction, chapter six. After the king dies and a Godly man sees his own woe, his own undone condition, and his own unclean lips, God touches his lips, takes away his iniquity and purges his sin. Then the voice of the Lord cries, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” The cleansed one says, “Here am I send me.” Chapter seven, the LORD spoke again and said, ”Hear ye now, O house of David: ... Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (which is God with us.)” Chapter eight, Moreover the LORD said unto the prophet, “Take a great roll, and write the message down with a man's pen.” In chapter nine that pen wrote that the dimness shall not be, … “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Chapter ten, “Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness,...” Chapter eleven, there shall come forth a rod with the seven spirits of God upon him and he shall judge the earth. Now, finally, chapter twelve outlines how to have a very Merry Christmas and blessed Holy-Day. Keep the bigger perspective this year and do all six of these verses. Merry Christmas.
