[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]
Their God to serve would come one day
come as a human true
– all perfect, so our debts could pay:
the needed work he’d do.

Isaiah spoke about this child
prophesied about his death
by which we could be reconciled:
soon all would see his worth.

And Joseph learnt the why his wife
was now with child before
they’d entered into married life,
and what this all was for.

The King came, taught, died, rose and then,
they spread his good-news-Word
and Lydia’s heart received it when
in Europe it was heard.

Isaiah 9:6;  Luke 1: 31
Isaiah 53
Mattew 1:20,21
Hebrews !:8
Acts 16:14 [‘the Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.]

All according to Isaiah! in his wonderful prophesies and promises, many of the prophets wrote mainly of doom and wrath.

Keep well Rhiannon, have a good day & Nolan

Thanks. The doom and wrath were surely warning, and mixed with many pleas to return and do justice, and mercy and honour their Lord, and find his pardoning love. Of course they also saw the promise of the Lord reigning fully and expected their Messiah to bring earthly victory over the Romans, forgetting the prophesies of his suffering for them first, and the need to repent.
