This is my calling, so what can I say? Woe is me if I preach not the gospel...and yet for me to live is Christ and to die is gain and yet this passage is and has become more personal than could be imagined at first or at first glance....since it truly speaks of things to come but much more than things..this most precious utterance by Isaiah the prophet of God to the Jew first and this Word is designed by the only wise God...proving Himself the Author of Life again and again even with such an obscure verse hidden, and what did Jesus promise them that wait to them who look for Him a second time He will appear without sin why is it thus written since we know He who knew no sin became sin so that we can become the Righteousness of God in him...back to this verse God in His infinite wisdom looked down through the corridors of time and knew what he should do to the Jew first and here we have an amazing revelation...This man " who is the first to say behold behold them!!! why is this exciting well for one, them is the Two Witnesses of rev Ch 11.
