Isaiah 66

Isaiah 66

Today concludes the end of my study on the book of Isaiah.

The prophet does not disappoint. He concludes the book with God telling a little about Himself. God basically states how it will all work out in the end--with Him receiving everything.

I love the picture of God in the first few verses when He says (Jacob paraphrase):

I am the Lord. The heavens are my throne and the earth is my footstool.
I don't really understand the hugeness of God. I can't really get my mind around how large the earth is, much less the universe or the "heavens," whatever that means.

God is huge. He wins. He wants everyone to have a chance on knowing Him. There is the gist of what I got out of Isaiah.

Lynsey and I are thinking about what we're going to read next. Probably a Pauline epistle.
