Isaiah 40:21Isaiah 40:21

Isaiah 40:21-31Isaiah 40:21-31Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Don’t you understand the foundations of the earth? God is enthroned above the earth, & those who live on it are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the sky like a canopy & spreads it out like a tent to live in. He makes rulers unimportant & makes earthly judges worth nothing. They have hardly been planted. They have hardly been sown. They have hardly taken root in the ground. Then he blows on them & they wither, & a windstorm sweeps them...

God is enthroned above the earth, & those who live on it are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the sky like a canopy & spreads it out like a tent to live in. He makes rulers unimportant & makes earthly judges worth nothing. They have hardly been planted. They have hardly been sown. They have hardly taken root in the ground. Then he blows on them & they wither, & a windstorm sweeps them...

Isaiah 40:21-31Isaiah 40:21-31

… away like straw. “To whom, then, can you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. Look at the sky & see. Who created these things? Who brings out the stars one by one? He calls them all by name. Because of the greatness of his might & the strength of his power, not one of them is missing. Jacob, why do you complain? Israel, why do you say, “My way is hidden from the LORD, & my rights are ignored by my God”? Don’t you know?...

Isaiah 40:21-31Isaiah 40:21-31

… Haven’t you heard? The eternal God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t grow tired or become weary. His understanding is beyond reach. He gives strength to those who grow tired & increases the strength of those who are weak. Even young people grow tired & become weary, & young men will stumble & fall. Yet, the strength of those who wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run & won’t become weary. They will walk & won’t grow tired.

• Re 11:15 – When the seventh angel blew his trumpet, there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord & of his Messiah, & he will rule as king forever & ever.”

• Ps 22:27-28 – All the ends of the earth will remember & return to the LORD. All the families from all the nations will worship you because the kingdom belongs to the LORD & he rules the nations.

• “Jesus did not call the cross or His death & resurrection the good news. For Jesus, the kingdom was the good news. The magnificent work of the cross is the beginning. Atonement, reconciliation, redemption, justification, & propitiation are all essential ingredients of the gospel, but the theme of the good news is the rest, freedom, peace, & high investment value of living life under the leadership of the Sovereign Lord of heaven & earth.”

others who were “just looking”?

• If I want the benefit of salvation, it will cost me my personal sovereignty, my independent autonomy, my own agenda, my “throne.” Why? Because that is exactly what I must be saved from in the first place!

God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never be destroyed. No other people will be permitted to rule it. It will smash all the other kingdoms & put an end to them.

• The disciples asked him, “Why do you use stories as illustrations when you speak to people?”

• Jesus answered, “Knowledge about the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you. But it has not been given to the crowd. Those who understand these mysteries will be given more knowledge, & they will excel in understanding them.

• Jesus answered, “Knowledge about the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you. But it has not been given to the crowd. Those who understand these mysteries will be given more knowledge, & they will excel in understanding them.

• “However, some people don’t understand these mysteries. Even what they understand will be taken away from them. This is why I speak to them this way. They see, but they’re blind. They hear, but they don’t listen. They don’t even try to understand.

• “So they make Isaiah’s prophecy come true: ‘You will hear clearly but never understand. You will see clearly but never comprehend. These people have become close–minded & hard of hearing. They have shut their eyes so that their eyes never see. Their ears never hear. Their minds never understand. And they never return to me for healing!’

• The more you stay out of the Kingdom of God, the less you are able to understand what the Kingdom of God is!

• “Blessed are your eyes because they see & your ears because they hear. I can guarantee this truth: Many prophets & many of God’s people longed to see what you see but didn’t see it, to hear what you hear but didn’t hear it.• Because the 12 were Kingdom Thinkers, they were

able to understand what others could not – the TRUTH!!
