Dear Friends in Christ,

Someone pointed out that the book of Isaiah has 66 chapters, just as there are 66 books in the Bible, and that there is a correspondence between the Isaiah chapters and the books in the Bible.

Looking at the Bible we see that the great rapture books are 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, and 1 Corinthians, chapter 15. The book of Thessalonians is the 52nd book in the Bible.

I read again the 52nd verse in Isaiah to see if there was a correspondence. I think there is.

"The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God." Isaiah 52:10

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thess. 4:16-17

Any thoughts about this or other chapters in Isaiah? Searching the book of Isaiah looking for correspondences can be fun, and strengthen to knowledge of God's Word inside our spirit.

With love,

Robert

Correction: I meant the 52nd chapter of Isaiah, not 52nd verse.

I also noticed that when the verses I cited are are read from top to bottom they seem to merge in a smooth way, as though written in that way!

By the way, I now have my new cat, William, whose picture is my avatar and I also got his best friend and partner in giving birth before they were neutered and spayed, Kate.They were named by the Save The Animals staf as William and Kate in remembrance of the WIlliam and Kate of the Royal Family! Thanks for showing interest.

Robert, thanks for posting this! I can't wait to get some time today to sit down and read those chapters! I think it will be fun and exciting to see what everyone comes up with!

I love the picture of William! That's awesome that you got rescue cats! I love my cat babies. Thanks for sharing him with us and the story of him and Kate.

God Bless and Love,

FW

John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Thanks Faithwon for your appreciation of William and Kate!

Looking again at Isaiah, Chapter 46, which corresponds to the 46th book in the Bible, i.e., 1 Corinthians. The correspondence is there, but at a more subtle level, I think.

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" Isaiah 46:9-10

"I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory." Isaiah 46:13

Commentary on the Isaiah verses:

"...the things that are not yet done..." would be the rapture

"...bring near my righteousness.." would be Jesus descending in the clouds

"...and my salvation will not tarry..." the rapture will happen as planned

The meaning of the Corinthians verses are familiar and need no further commentary.

With love,

Robert

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” — John 11:25-26

Dear Friends in our Lord Jesus,

The book of Revelation and the 66th chapter of Isaiah contain references to the saints of the age of grace taken in the rapture. Continuing to the 66th book of the Bible, Revelation, and comparing it to the 66th chapter of the book of Isaiah, I read the following:

"Thus saith the Lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool." Isaiah 66:1

"Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed." Isaiah 66:5

From Revelation we read:

"After this, I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." Rev. 4:1

"And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold." Rev. 4:4

Commentary for Isaiah verses:

"...the heaven is my throne..." refers to God's throne

"...he shall appear to your joy..." refers to the rapture(?)

Commentary to the Revelation verses:

"...clothed in white raiment..." the saints

"...crowns of gold..." raptured saints are given crowns for their works.

With love to you all,

Robert

Dear Bonnie,

I am so pleased to hear that my scribbling here actually has a reader and that I may have accidentaly sid something that was helpful. I aim to be a uesful guide and learner at the same time. I am not a scholar but do enjoy learning so many things in God's Word.

The same Spirit of God that is in each one of us after our salvation speaks to us so that we can understand each other. I am glad that we have such a wonderful God and Friend!

May God send a special word or two to you today to comfort, and illuminate His Word in some new and powerful way. We are meant to be the light of the world. We need to keep our batteries renewed by constant reading and study in His Word. What would we do without His Word?

With love,

Your brother in Christ, Robert

I also find it interesting that in the 6th chapter of the 66th book antichrist is shown appearing on his white horse, released by the hand of God. Layer upon layer, precept upon precept.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:27
