Isaiah 30’s Resurrection Reversal: Aquamen

As a kid I amassed a comic book collection just north of 600. One of my good friends in elementary school, Jim Daigle, collected comics. We had a lot of fun doing trades. I was into Marvel–Spiderman, the Hulk, Fantastic Four, Avengers, X-Men, and a number of others. I tried to get into D.C., butContinue reading “Isaiah 30’s Resurrection Reversal: Aquamen”

Isaiah 30’s Resurrection Reversal: Water, Water Everywhere!

Do you feel your relationship with God is often dry and distant?  Perhaps it’s been that way for a long time.  Are you saddened and discouraged by the dryness all around at your church?  Do you pray for revival?  I have good news for you today from the prophet Isaiah: because of Jesus’ death, GodContinue reading “Isaiah 30’s Resurrection Reversal: Water, Water Everywhere!”

The Right Hand of Faith

Isaiah’s Tragic Tears of Triumph

Uranium could be mined from coal.  But it’s not.  To extract its minuscule concentration out of coal is too expensive to be profitable.  Gold is present in seawater, but at one fiftieth of an ounce per ton of seawater, it’s not cost-effective.  More often than not, getting spiritual “nuggets” out of the Old Testament feelsContinue reading “Isaiah’s Tragic Tears of Triumph”

Isaiah’s Startling Sign and Wonder!

Isaiah has long been one of my favorite books of the Bible.  I’ve had an explorer’s delight of discovering Jesus in several lengthy sections, such as chapters 6-12 and 53-56, but hadn’t studied the book as a whole to see Him.  66 chapters do make for a large time commitment!  After many years, opportunity finallyContinue reading “Isaiah’s Startling Sign and Wonder!”
