Isaiah is an incredible book. Some call it the small Bible because it has 66 chapters and the Bible has 66 books. The Old Testament has 39 books and speaks much about judgment. The book of Isaiah can be broken in 2 parts. The first 39 also predominantly speak of judgment. The last 29 speak mostly of salvation as does the New Testament.

I appreciate the many answers of experiences, for indeed our God will make Himself known to us for now He hears when we come to Him in that One name only that will grant us all the blessings. Jesus!

But, I would like to expand a bit on scripture.

Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.


Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

Is this covenant still in effect? I say yes. I do word studies and had a question that I took to the Lord concerning Ishmael and Isaac. My late husband was Jewish. Full Jew, both mother and father were Jews. My question was the difference between the nations. And God.

The word covenant is

H1285
בְּרִית
berı̂yth
ber-eeth'
From H1262 (in the sense of cutting (like H1254)); a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh): - confederacy, [con-]feder[-ate], covenant, league.
Total KJV occurrences: 284

Circumcision. Paul talks about this in the New Testament. And this topic is about knowing God. Can anyone see where Im going with this?

What exactly is that one way to the Father?
We know the way is Jesus. Are you suggesting this is accomplished through the circumcision of the heart?

You obviously mistook months for years. We probably won't get there before the Fall....that's the season, not the event in Genesis.
Hmmm, no? Perhaps I meant "soon" the way Jesus does in "The Chosen." :cool:
