The Lord God Called Them by Name

Isaiah 43:1-28                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

But now, the Lord, [Who] created you, O Jacob, & He, [Who] formed you, O Israel, [says this, Don't] fear: for I have Redeemed you. I have called you by your name, & you [are] Mine. When you [passed] through the waters, & the rivers, I will be with you. They shall not [flood over] you.

When you [walk] through the fire, you [shall] not be burned, & neither shall the [flames start] upon you. [Daniel 3:24-25 Then, king Nebuchadnezzar was [astonished,] & rose up in [a hurry,] & [spoke] & said to his counselors, Didn't we [throw] 3 [tied up] men into the [middle] of the fire?

They answered & said to the king, True, O king. He answered & said, [Look,] I see 4 men loose, walking in the [middle] of the fire, & they have no [harm,] & the [image] of the 4th is like the Son of God.]

For I Am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your [Savior I gave Egypt for your ransom, & Ethiopia & Seba [for your ransom, in place of] you. Since you [were] precious in My sight, you [have] been honorable, & I have loved you. Therefore, I will give men for you, & people for your life.

[Isaiah 63:8-9 For He said, Surely they are My people, children [who] will not lie, so He was their [Savior.] In all their [suffering,] He was afflicted, & [in] His presence, the Angel saved them. In His love, & in His pity, He redeemed them, & He [bore] them, & carried them all the days of old.]

[Don't] fear, for I am with you. I will bring your seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] from the East, & gather you from the West. I will say to the North, Give up, & to the South, [Don't withhold.] Bring My sons from far, & My daughters from the ends of the earth.

Even, everyone, [who] is called by My Name, for I have created him for My glory, & I have formed him. [Yes,] I have made him. Bring [out] the blind people, [who] have eyes, & the deaf [who] have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, & let the people be assembled.

Who among them can declare this, & [show] us [previous] things? Let them bring [forward] their witnesses, [so] that they may be justified: or let them hear, & say, It is [True.]

You are My witnesses, [says] the Lord, & My servant, whom I have chosen: [so] that you may know, & believe Me, & understand that I Am He. [Luke 24:45-48 Then, He opened their understanding, [so] that they might understand the Scriptures, & said to them, Thus it is written, & thus it [was beneficial] [for] Christ to suffer, & to rise from the dead the 3rd day. [So] that repentance & remission of sins should be preached in His Name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things.]

Before Me, there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, Am the Lord; & beside Me, there is no [Savior.] I have declared, & have saved. & I have [shown,] when there was no strange god among you. Therefore, you are My witnesses, [says] the Lord, that I Am God.

[Yes,] before the day was, I am He, & there [are] none that can deliver out of My hand. I will work, & who shall [give permission for] it? [Isaiah 45:19-20 I haven't spoken in secret, in a dark [hidden] place of the earth. I [didn't] say to the seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] of Jacob, You seek Me in vain.

I, the Lord, speak Righteousness. I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves & come. Draw near together, you [who have] escaped [from] the nations. They have no knowledge, [who put] up the wood of their [carved] image, & pray to a god that cannot save.]

The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel [says this;] I have sent to Babylon, for your sake, & have brought down all their nobles, & the Chaldeans, whose [out] cry is [on] the ships. I Am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

The Lord [says this, Who makes] a [road] in the sea, & a path in the mighty waters. [Who brings forward] the: [chariots, & horses,] the army, & the power? They shall lie down together, & they shall not rise. They are extinct, & they are [put out like kindling] [from a campfire is put out.]

[Don't] you remember the [previous] things, [nor] consider the things of old. [Look,] I will do a new thing. It shall [spring up,] & shall you not now know it? I will even make a [road] in the wilderness, & rivers in the desert. [Isaiah 48:6 See all this, you [have] heard; & won't you declare it? I have [declared] new things from this time, [to] you, even hidden things, & you [didn't] know them.]

The [animals] of the field shall [honor] Me, & the [jackals] & owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, & rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen. I have formed this people for Myself, & they shall [declare] My praise.

But you [haven't] called upon Me, O Jacob; but you [have] been [tired] of Me, O Israel. You [haven't] brought Me the small cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] of your burnt offerings. Neither [have] you [honored] Me with your sacrifices. I haven't caused you to serve with an offering, nor [tired] you with incense.

[Acts 7:42-43 Then, God turned, & gave them up to worship the host, [a.k.a. stars & constellations,] of heaven; [like] it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to Me, [slaughtered animals,] & sacrifices [over] the space of 40 years in the wilderness?

[Yes,] & you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, & the star of your god, Remphan, figures [that] you made, to worship them. And I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.]

With money, you [have] bought Me no sweet cane, & neither [have] you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you [have] made Me to [deal] with your sins. You [have tired] Me with your [sinfulness.] I, even I, Am He, [Who blots] out your transgressions for [My] Own sake, & won't remember your sins.

[Remember] Me, & let us plead together; & you declare, [so] that you [may] be justified. Your 1st [forefather, a.k.a. Adam,] sinned, & your teachers have transgressed against Me.

[Exodus 32:7-8 And the Lord said to Moses, Go, get [yourself] down; for your people, [that] you [brought] out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have [gone astray] quickly out of the [path that] I commanded them.

They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf, & have worshiped it, & have sacrificed [to it,] & said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, [that] have brought you up, out of the land of Egypt.]

Therefore, I have [defiled] the princes of the sanctuary, & have given Jacob to the curse, & Israel to [disgraces.] [Jeremiah 24:9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their [harm,] to be a [disgrace,] a proverb, a [taunting] [song,] & a curse, in all places [where] I shall drive them.]
