When we were saved, when we believed into the Lord for the first time, we had eyes for the Lord Jesus only, and we didn’t see anything or anyone else but Him. Actually, when we were saved we entered into a love relationship with the Lord, into a life-union with Him, where we love Him […]

The prophet Isaiah also typifies Christ as the Servant of Jehovah – he is a type of Christ especially in the aspect of witnessing for God and speaking for God. Christ is the One who speaks for God and He even is the Word of God. When the Bible speaks of Isaiah as the servant […]

In order for us to live in the new creation, we have to turn from the things seen to the things not seen. The 3 verses at the end of chapter 4 in the second epistle Paul wrote to the Corinthians are very striking, for they unveil how we, the believers in Christ who have […]

the old creation and the new creation as revealed in the Bible and in the book of Isaiah

The book of Isaiah is like a miniature of the entire Bible: it has 66 chapters (just as the Bible has 66 books), the first 39 chapters talk mainly about the old creation (and they correspond to the Old Testament, which has 39 books), the last 27 chapters talk about the new creation (corresponding to […]
