As we saw previously, in the book of Isaiah there are at least three persons that typify Christ and also typify us – Cyrus the king, Isaiah the prophet, and the people of Israel. Even though Cyrus was a Gentile king, God chose Him, formed him, prepared him, and strengthened him to do His will […]

learning to be those loved by God by doing the things which are on His heart
King Cyrus, though a Gentile king, was raised up by Jehovah, anointed by Jehovah, and loved by God (Isa. 48:14). God loves the people that do the things which are on His heart. Cyrus did what was pleasing to God, bringing pleasure to God, by releasing the people of Israel to go to their own […]

those who wait on Jehovah will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings like eagles!
In the book of Isaiah we see a contrast between a man in the old creation(king Hezekiah, ch. 36-39) and a man in the new creation (ch. 40). No matter how good and spiritual Hezekiah was, because he was still in the old creation, he needed to be terminated and replaced with Christ! A person […]

John the Baptist brought in the New Testament priesthood of the gospel – now all believers are priests!

we need to pass through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the river Jordan – for the new creation!
There is a story in the Old Testament about Elijah the prophet and his disciple/continuation, Elisha. In 2 Kings 2:1-15, we see that Elijah was about to be raptured, so he told Elisha to stay in that place where they were because God called him to go to Gilgal. Elisha said, “As Jehovah lives and […]
