Isaiah's Prophecies about Restoration and the Messiah (Continued) - Isaiah 60:1-22, 61:1-11, 62:1-12, 63:1-19, 64:1-12

The caption online said:  "The Eye-of-God Nebula watching us from 700 light years away."  Ahhh, don't look now, He's actually standing right behind you.

Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,

     that the mountains would tremble before you!

As when fire sets twigs ablaze

     and causes water to boil,

come down to make your name known to your enemies

     and cause the nations to quake before you!

For when you did awesome things that we did not expect

     you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.

Isaiah 64:1-3

Come down Lord, come down.  And He did.  But not rending the heavens and with the mountains trembling.  He did it with a star in the night sky and a small child in a lowly manger.

Now that's understatement.  Lord knows.
