Raynette K. Weiss Ministries run by Rev. Raynette K. Weiss and Assistant Minister Jessie K. Weiss invite you to this bible lesson on the book of Isaiah chapter 57 Tuesday, January 24, 2023.

57:1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.

57:2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

57:3 But youcome here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

57:4 Who are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?

57:5 You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree; you sacrifice your children in the ravines and under the overhanging crags.

57:6 The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion; indeed, they are your lot. Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings and offered grain offerings. In view of all this, should I relent?

57:7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices.

57:8 Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols. Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed, you climbed into it and opened it wide; you made a pact with those whose beds you love, and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.

57:9 You went to Molek with olive oil and increased your perfumes. You sent your ambassadors far away; you descended to the very realm of the dead!

57:10 You wearied yourself by such going about, but you would not say, It is hopeless. You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.

57:11 Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have not been true to me, and have neither remembered me nor taken this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me?

57:12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.

57:13 When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But whoever takes refuge in me will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.

57:14 And it will be said: Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.

57:15 For this is what the high and exalted One says he who lives forever, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

57:16 I will not accuse them forever, nor will I always be angry, for then they would faint away because of me the very people I have created.

57:17 I was enraged by their sinful greed; I punished them, and hid my face in anger, yet they kept on in their willful ways.

57:18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israels mourners,

57:19 creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace, to those far and near, says the Lord. And I will heal them.

57:20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.

57:21 There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.

Summary; There are many concerns about how people are making decisions that are not wise. They are also making idols for themselves. Even though this is going on Our Heavenly Father promises grace to the people.  Many people that do most body actions pass away before thier time comes. No one really understands why, but the reason is that Our Heavenly Father is protecting from any evil that might come thier way. An unusual phrase that is used nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. Here, God is referred to as One who lives in eternity.” These words imply a certain understanding of deity. 

Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we thank you for unending desires to save us and comfort us and live in our hearts. Help us to humble ourselves and receive you with a good spirit. Help us to remember to do everything and say everything in your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Prayer of Salvation: which is how you ask to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
