“Their feet rush after evil; they hasten to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are preoccupied with mischief; havoc and disaster follow in their wake. They are unacquainted with the way of perfection; integrity is not within their bounds. They have made crooked their paths; none who treads them knows peace.” (Isaiah 59:7–8) “Jehovah of Hosts

Rue the day that a great nation such as ours should descend into a culture of carnality that marks a spiritual point of no return!

“You have forgotten your God, your salvation, and not remembered the Rock, your fortress.” (Isaiah 17:10) “How comely upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger announcing peace, who brings tidings of good, who heralds salvation.” (Isaiah 52:7) “Hear me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness: I have brought near my righteousness; it

Then, suddenly, I will act:

“My servant whom I sustain, my chosen one in whom I delight, him I have endowed with my Spirit; he will dispense justice to the Gentiles. . . . Thus says Jehovah, God, who frames and suspends the heavens, who gives form to the earth and its creatures, the breath of life to the people

“An oracle concerning Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw in vision: Raise the ensign on a barren mountain; sound the voice among them! Beckon them with the hand to advance into the precincts of the elite. I have charged my holy ones, called out my valiant ones: my anger is not upon those
