Isaiah
30:8
8 Now go [bow'], write [kathab] it before them in a table [luwach], and note [chaqaq] it in a
book [cepher], that it may be for the time [yowm] to come ['acharown] for [`ad] ever [`ad] and ever [`owlam]: KJV-Interlinear
8 And now, go, write it before them on a
tablet and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come as a
witness forever. ESV
Even though man
has written down the words of the Bible, all Scripture, without exception, came
directly from God. Jesus Christ is said to be the living word, and the written
word is said to be the mind of Christ. Therefore, if you want to know the mind
of Christ, then you have to know Bible doctrine, which is the content of
Scripture.
But more than
that, and since anyone can read the Bible and/or memorize verses, you have to
have access to the spiritual process which allows you to learn and understand,
and know.
And that process of
course requires that you first believe in Christ, so that you are saved and a
part of the family of God, and possess eternal life, and the human spirit that
you acquired when you were reborn at the moment you believed in Christ.
Second, you have
to live within the fellowship sphere by means of regular confession, so that
your spiritual life will function properly.
Third, you have to
engage in a daily Bible study, which is a part of the process for learning and
understanding and growing up in your spiritual life.
Isaiah is
commanded by God, to write these things down, so that everyone will know of the
rebelliousness and obstinance and stubbornness of the Jewish people, because of
their resistance to listening to, or reading the Scriptures, and therefore not
learning the truths of life, and therefore never seeing the errors of their
way.
Note, that these
writings will last until the end of time, which means the end of human history,
which is the appropriate time frame for reminding people of all generations,
especially future of Isaiah’s time, that resisting the learning of God’s word,
will result in your failure, and sooner or later everyone will know of your
failure. And that is an embarrassment that you will not be able to remove once
your life is over, if you have not changed and corrected your ways.
The Jewish people
are the prime example of how stubbornness will bring trouble into their lives.
And when you combine stubbornness with the second threat of Satan who has vowed
to destroy the Jewish people, then that is a double whammy against them, which
makes life all that more difficult.
And the example of
the Jewish people should be a teaching principle for everyone, to not ignore
God in their life, to not ignore Bible doctrine in their life, to not ignore
their spiritual responsibilities in life, and to not fall flat on their face
because of a foolish stubborn resistance toward learning truth.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
