Isaiah 2:1-5 ~ raised above the hills

 


Almost all people who dream of Heaven and see the Gates of Heaven, fixed into the walls of Heaven = looking into the inside - (Revelation reveals Living Stones of many colors) report the walls of Heaven walking up to Heaven are this color.

The same color as the Temple in Jerusalem. Even the people who did not know this, report this color. The walls of Heaven sit up on a hill. Looking up to walk to the Gates of Heaven.





 

History repeatedly reports a few years after Pandemic,
life begins to improve.
Isaiah could be speaking of this hope as well.


Isaiah 2:1-5


1 This is what Isaiah, son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 In the last days
the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established
as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.

3 Many peoples will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths."
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.

5 Come, O house of Jacob,
let us walk in the light of the LORD.

When the Bible tells us about Heaven, we just see glimpses. Most people are interested in Heaven. Dwight L. Moody tells of a man who lost a loved one & began to pour over the Scriptures. 

It is a good thing to be able to comfort each other by being able to know what the Scriptures say about Heaven. This passage tells us 'nations' will be taught by the Lord.


Heaven may not have oceans, but water.
God loves Light on the Water. Living. Shining.



1 Corinthians 13:12
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. 
Now I know in part, 
but then I shall know 
just as I also am known.


1 Corinthians 2: 7-9
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 
8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; 
for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 
9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those 
who love Him.”


Isaiah agrees with the book of Revelation:

Revelation 21:1-4

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 

2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 


3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 
"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.
 They will be His people,
 and God Himself will be with them and be their God. 

4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. 
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, 
for the old order of things has passed away."



Revelation tells us how many people will be in Heaven and how salvation is given:

Revelations 7: 9-10

After this I looked and there before me 
was a great multitude 
that no one could count,
 from every nation, tribe, people and language, 
standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. 

They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

"Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb."

Heaven is walking in the light of God. 
Our Christmas lights are glimpses of the Light. The first chapter of John tells us about Jesus:

John 1:3-9
3 Through Him all things were made;

 without Him nothing was made that has been made. 

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 

5 The Light shines in the darkness, 
but the darkness has not overcome it.

The Nativity (also known as the Holy Night or as Adoration of the Shepherds) is a painting finished around 1529-1530 by the Italian painter Antonio da Correggio



6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 

9 The true light that gives Light 
to every man 
was coming into the world.


Psalm 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!


2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness,
and all the peoples see His glory.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O LORD.

9 For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the LORD, hate evil!

He preserves the lives of his saints;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,
and give thanks to His holy name! 



Nehemiah 8:10 

for the joy of the Lord 
is your strength.

Romans 10:13 ~ "Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved."




Wouldn't we all like to say
"Here, Lord Jesus, Here!"


God intended people to do exactly like Jesus and be among people. Being in the world and not of the world requires our hearts to stay right with God. Being fake eventually wears out the good fruit. This is probably why the people in Scripture have real issues and mess. If one becomes a plaster saint, one is frozen in a display which can cool the heart. God created all different types of people and flaws, we have to be glad in our individualism. Staying close to God is doing what He chooses for us.


Why did Jesus call John the Baptist - least in Heaven. One of the reasons would be John's job was to be in Faith - it was John's Job. Don't pick at the threads of what upholds you. And create flap and doubt when the ones you love are depending upon you.

Why not avoid the struggles to go to Church? 
The basic need inside us is to connect to what God creates in our lives and what He gives us to do. God says:

Proverbs 14:10
Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy.

God connects to us more than any human being. If we aren't nourishing our souls - we are starving.

God does tell us about starving and disinherited - in the New Testament - Galatians 5
sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.


The Fruits of the Spirit, are just vastly more appealing.


Portions Reprinted from February 10, 2014

Jesus knew people. 

Life tests us. Psalm 7, 11, 26, Revelation 2, James 1, Hebrews 12, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Peter 1, Jeremiah 3, Exodus 3. Basically, all the heavy hitters of the Bible have weighed in on the opinion our hearts are examined. David, John, James, Paul, Peter, Jeremiah and Moses.

God lives with us.

John 1:4

This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: 
He has given us of His Spirit. 
 And we have seen and testify that
 the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, 
God lives in them and they in God. 
 And so we know 
and rely
 on the love God has for us.



The Holy Spirit is Real. The Body of Christ works together. The coals together create Warmth of Love, Fire of the Holy Spirit, and Light. 


Salvation is from God. Jesus would agree. Even in the Old Testament.












Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.



Abba, Father


Dwell in us every Day. Give us the Day.
Help us to seek You First.

Worship and Hope
God Overcoming the past failures of mankind.
Mankind doesn't always appreciate being shown Forgiveness.
God is the Great and Gracious Father.

Your Son, Jesus, prays for us in John 17.
Bless those we Love and are given to live Your Love every day.

The Holy Spirit prays for us in Colossians 1

From the Day our Father spoke Light into being, 
prayers have been earnestly prayed and heard.

We have not ceased to pray , asking we may be filled with the knowledge of Father God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.


To walk awed by Jesus, while walking in a manner worthy of the Lord,
 fully pleasing to You.

Calling upon Jesus and bearing fruit in every good work 
and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Finishing well to the very end.

And in the Highest Name of Jesus, being strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might for joy!

And because of Jesus, giving thanks to our Father. Jesus has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Bless Elliott with healing, Jesus is never taken from Elliott, he knows.

Bless Bill with his voice. We ask Please, Jesus.

Light of the world fill us, Lord Jesus!




And the birds of our ten states to be healed of their illnesses
as Harris County, Houston, Texas saw birds healing after
March-May of 2021. Thank God!!!

Thank You, my ankle is so much better
Bless us with Love, as You have.
Protect us with Your Love.

Thank You, Father, Bless Dee's family, bless Dennis with health healing from a burst gallbladder. And Lynn who has had part of her lung removed to cancer, but only a small spot. Healing from Jesus, we ask.

Thank You, Jesus, for all You have helped!

Romans 10:13

For, "Everyone who calls on 
the Name of the Lord 
will be saved."





Let us find, establish, create, promote, enjoy, 
Love and Bless our Father for more Heaven on earth and His Good Will.

In Jesus Christ and His Righteousness,
For God's Steadfast Love in Year's past, present and the Thanksgiving of everyday Easter Egg Blessing Hunts still to be. Jesus is King. 
Amen.








Psalm 107

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
for His steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom He has redeemed from trouble

Psalm 46:10 ~ Jesus will be exalted among the nations and the earth

 




We spent Thursday evening at home with a massive rainstorm. And on Friday, we got up at 6 a.m. and went to Dallas. Texas is unusually green for July.  We pray for the West Coast to have rain to stop their fires as well.

My mother had the opportunity in her Hospice Nursing Facility to change rooms across the hall and see mature trees and a park from her 4th floor. She now has a set of sliding glass doors and a second window as well. My mom has been thrilled to have the view and has started speaking, some, again to have this happen for her. Four people moved her all day to put in a new, and had to be built, recliner. She was so pleased. Many years back, we used to have a deep, white plastic shelf for growing plants, we added this in with faux plants. Her Aunt Clarice used to greet her with blue Hydrangeas, and this is repeated, again. 

Edward's mother is now in Assisted Living as well. As we finished up, he had the first time experience of going to see his own mother, now out of her home. This was a tough day.

After going in the car there and home again, we were just too tired not to just sit. We did when we returned home!

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God; 
I will be exalted among the nations, 
I will be exalted in the earth.


Abba, Father,

We rejoice You are God.
We lean on You today, when we are busy and
in emotional climates.

You do all for us.
Thank You.

Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we love.
Help us to seek You first.

Talk Political Hours on the radio are very alarming
so we all pray for the Nation
to recover Love, Peace and Sensibility 
and Rational post pandemic minds.
Believing full well in the Healing Power of Jesus Christ.
Going Forth in Hope.

We are lifting up Elliott, Dennis and Lynn to
Your Wonderful Love and Healing.

Praying for us all
to end well.

In JESUS CHRIST,
we Are SAVED.
AMEN!








♔ Lord Jesus Saves!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
