Numbers 5:1-31
Keep the camp purify, unclean include infectious skin disease or a discharge of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean because of a dead body.
For person is guilty and must confess the sin he has committed. He must make full restitution for his wrong, add one fifth to it and give it all to the person he has wronged.
Grain offering for jealousy, a reminder offering to draw attention to guilt.
The law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and defiles herself while married to her husband, or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her.
Why?
The Lord is the judge to identify who has guilty when jealousy happened. Protect the husband and wife.
Concern wives suspected of unfaithfulness. In the absence of evidence there is to be trial by ordeal. Trials of this kind where not uncommon in ancient times, and are well known today in parts of Africa and India. This one is mild by some standards - ad also less heavily weighted than many towards a verdict of guilty. It is not clear whether the water contained some herb which would induce miscarriage if the woman were guilty and pregnant, or whether it worked simply by psychological suggestion.
Amen: will to bear all responsibility of the declaration.
How?
The Lord is righteous God and Jealous, there is not any sin or unclean and guilt could stand before Him. Confess the wrong also have to pay not only the amount and add one fifth to it. Fear the Lord is wisdom!

The Lord all day long held his hands to an obstinat people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations.
The Lord will not keep silent but will pay back in full. I wll pay it back into their laps.
God won't destroy them all for there is yet some good in it. God will chooce his people.
The Lord won't answer those who forsake the Lord and forget his holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny. This like Taiwan lunar July.15- evil sacrifice.中元節祭拜
His servants will but will Clear contract comparison
eat hungry
drink thirsty
rejoice put to shame
sing cry out & wail
Why?
God has always been ready to help, but his people never sought him. He will answer the prayer for his people in a way which exceeds their wildest dreams.
These nfal prophecies highlight two ontrasting destinies, in a sharp overliik evil. Those who go their own sinful way.
The Lord love the righeous man among people, even he will destroy those who don't listen to his word, he will choose his servants and save them.
Make myself holy before the Lord, do not have any mix mind or deed with this evil world. Try to preach them help those blind men let them return to the Lord before the end of their life. This is what the Lord asks Christian to do in this world.
Even God's servant is easy fall into our own imagination to serve the Lord, speak the word of our own imaginations, but are not the word of Lord. Be careful to serve the Lord!
How?
Before serve the people in God's word, pray for it, let the Holy Spirit leads me to say what the Lord wants me to preach.

Isaiah 64:1-12
The Prayer of the prophet so deeply and with all his heart and mind. Earnest prayer!

Do not be angry beyod measure, O Lord; do not remember out sins forever. Look upon us, we pray, for we are all your people.
Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
How?
Where is God's concern, his power now? Why does he not tear the heavens apart to come and resuce his people in their crying need? Is God unmoved? Will he do nothing?
The Lord is working for us, his arms do not short, his power is over anything.
Pray for the name of the Lord, Pray for his name be known to enemise of God and let God's people be saved.
We may deeply pray to the Lord, he like to hear our pray and watching what we are doing. Repent and turn to the Lord, sometime the Lord asks us to wait.
We can do nothing, we are the clay, He is the potter, we are all the work of God, we need to do our part in His plan.
Beyond the measure, so we don't try to do more beyond our measure.
How?
Do our part in God's plan, be a good man, obey his command and do the right thing.

Speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.
Isaiah 63:1-19
Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah. with his garments staied crimson? robed inplender..?
It is I,speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.
The red garments is the Lords anger, in his wrath, made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground. Their blood spattered God's graments.
In all their stress God too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them.
Why?
Edom with its captal, Brozrah, represents all the enemies of God's people.
This is an appalling(awful) picture; but until the enemy is defeated, God's people cannot be set free.
The prophet's prayer is very like a psalm. Recalling all God's past goodess and faithfulness, his acts of power in the days of Moses, leads to an impassioned appeal.
It is the Lord who is mighty to save with love and compassion. He is righteous so His wrath made his rebelled people and enemies drunk.
How?
Even God's anger is with his love and grief. The Lord hopes people return to Him. Love people for the Lord has loved me.

What will be called at that day?
Isaiah 62:1-12
You will be called "Hephzibah"my delight is in her, and your land "Beulah"- married. Instead of "Deserted", your land "Desolate"
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations.
Why?
What I will be called? Holy People, Redeemed of the Lord, Sought after.
The day is coming when God will be able to rejoice and delight in his people: a day to long for, pray for, prepare for.
The actions that we should do now:
1)Pass through the gate of salvation, 2)prepare the way for the people who have not know Jesus Christ, 3)build up the highway for the Lord, 4)remove the Stumbling Stone, let people go to worship the Lord. 5)Raise a banner for worship and glory the name of God.
How?
Dear Lord, please help me, give me strength and your holy spirit, let me don't be a stumble stone for your people. I will be called "my delight is in Him"
I will go back to Taiwan today, may the Lord leads my way forward, instructs me the way to take care His lamp there and help me always focus on the Lord.

Delight greatly in the Lord; instead of what?
Isaiah 61:1-11
Is is what Jesus CHrist have done for us 1)preach good news to the poor, 2)proclaim freedom for the captives, 3)release from darkness for the prisoners, 4)proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, 5)comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion.
The Spirit of the Lord in on Him.
Instead of: oil of gradness instead of mourning; garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair; crown of beauty instead of ashes. Instead of their shame my people wil receive a double portion; instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance.
I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with farments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.
The passages is somethimes seen a a fifth Servant Song. Jesus announces his mission by reading these words.
Why?
God's people become the nation of priests he always intended them to be, breaking into a song of praise.
The Spirit of the Lord in Jesus Christ so he can do above grate things to proclaim God's salvation. So as me to be a minister or ministry.
delight is not because what I gain but because of I am in the Lord.
Instead of: What my life have been change by the Lord? what has been replace? Is mourning exist? despair? or shame? All of these are passed away, instead of it are oil of gradness, garment of praise, crown of beauty and rejoice with double portion gift from the Lord.
How?
Dear Hevenly father, thank you your salvation come upon me, may your grace and righteous crown me, give me strength to follow you. May I can proclaim you salvation and freedom to captives and comfort all who mourn.

Call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise
Isaiah 60:1-22
Pictures the incredible transformation of Jerusalem: filled with glory, light, joy excitement.
The return to God's favour is seen in very 'earthly' terms: fabulous wealth, power, influence. This is a very different earth from the one we know.
Bring your sons from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.
The sons of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the city of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
You will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
Why?
Evey nation and everyone will bow down before the Lord Almight. If any nation don't bow down before the Lord will perish, for there is not blessing to that nation.
The glory of God like everlasting light, do not need Sun or Moon light.
Salvation walls and Praise gates located in the city of the Lord.
How?
I am anticipate the city of the Lord, before I can be there I'd do my best to honor name of the Lord and Shepherd God's people. His salvation is my fortries and I will praise His name everyday.

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save
Isaiah 59:1-21
Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God, so that he will not hear.
Sins: hands are stained with blood, fingers with guilt, lips have spoken lies, tongue mutters wicked things.
"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins," declares the Lord.
As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the Lord.
For the love of the Lord, his arm worked salvation for them and his own righteousness sustained them.
The prophet points the people to the heart of the matter - the problem is their sin which cuts them off from God.
Why?
It is not the Lord doesn't listen your prayer, but because of our sins separated from God. Repent to the Lord and confess our sin, through Jesus blood and erase out guilt.
Check out behaviors: most of us have not the blood, but may be our decision may cause other's blood bleeding. Care our lips say the truth only.
The arm of the Lord is not short, trust and believe in Him. He is my savior, my redeemer.
Two ways are opening up in these chapters: a safe path that leads to blessing for those who respond to God: a dangerous road leading to destruction for those who choose not to.
What God, in his amazing love.
How?
Amazing grace of the Lord! How great you are, O Lord. You have covenant to me and you have complete salvation on me. Praise the Lord.

Serving God by serving people
Isaiah 58:1-14
What is the fast be called and accepted to the Lord?
Loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wandered with shelter.
If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. If you keep you feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, you will find your joy in the Lord, and God will cause you to ride on the heights of the land.
Why?
We do our best to express our heart to honor God, by fasting, attending worship, reading God's word, but the Lord more concern out behavior to the poor oppressed and needed people. How about our relationship with others?
Serving God by serving peope.
This makes a mockery of their religious observance (including rigorous fasting): they neither love God nor their fellow human beings.
How?
Serving people does not give from my interest but from the love of the Lord.

There is peace in those who fear the Lord, but not for the wicked.
Isaiah 57:1-21
The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
God accuses against the wicked one, you were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say,'It is hopeless.' You foud renewal of your strength, and so you did ot faint.
Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do ot fear me?
When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inhherit the land and possess my holy moutain.
Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. For this is what the high and lofty One says -- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit.
"Peace to those far and near", says the Lord. "And I will heal them". But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest. "There is no peace", says my God, "for the wicked."
Why?
The pagan rites involved prostitution. Idolatrous Israel, unfaithful to God, is pictured as a prostitute.
The Lord protect the righteous man, even taken away their life.
It is the reason that wicked one does not fear the Lord, for God keep silent for long time. They forgot the work and creation of the Lord.
What we have to do in this world? Build up to prepare the road of godpel and remove the obstacles out of the way of God's people.
God is in high and holy place, and He is also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit. God is with me, so I do not fear.
How?
Even I feel uncomfortable in my physical condition, I believe that the Lord is with me, he will restore me and heals me. Peace in my heart. This is the difference between God's people and the wicked one.

Maintain justice and do what is right.
Isaiah 56:1-12
Maintain justice and do what is right.
Blessd is the man who does this, the Lord wll give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
Foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to serve him, to love the name o the Lord, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant.
My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations!
I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.
The wicked men, they are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack unerstanding they all turn to their own way, each seeks his own gain.
Chapter 56-66: we return to a restored Jerusalem, and life back home, after the exile. Scenes of sin and failure mingle with scenes of future glory.
Why?
THere is nothing eclusive about the love of God. There is a place among his people for all who will follow and obey him, even the most despised.
God's own Temple is meant to be a 'house of payer' for all the nations.
Maintain is keep doing, it is not only do once but as living style, do it anytime.
to keep in an appropriate condition, operation, or force; keep unimpaired
Foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord may have the blessing as Israelites.
Church of God will be called "house of prayer for all nations", it is a prayer place, not only pray for ourselves but also pray for all nations- this world and the needy in God's perspective. It is not our own perspective.
Confess our sin, meditae in my heart "Do I seeks my own gain only?", Do I lack understanding?
How?
Church is not only for worship the Lord, but is a house of prayer. I am not Israelite, because of the love of Jesus Christ, through him I can be a child of the Lord and stand in present of God. What I have to do is maintain justice and do what is right.

Instead of bad will grow the good things
Isaiah 55:8-13
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.
As the heavens are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
My word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign.
Myrtle
Briers
Why?
The restoration of Israel which took place then merges into a vision of the final glorious day when sin and sorrow will be no more, and the whole Israel of God will be for ever at home with the Lord.
Our plan can not compare with the Lord's plan, our though is not good enough as the Lord. The Lord creats the new thing and great thing to us.
The word of the Lord stands forever. His protection is secure and full, His love endure forever.
Instead of shame the honor and glory will grow to me, instead of poor the rich will come to me. I will know the sign of the Lord gives to me.
How?
The God I trust, the Lord will create new things in front of me.

Pray to the Lord for help and for thanksgiving
Isaiah 55:1-7
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Why?
The grace and salvation of the Load is free but it needs to pay the price of faith and action to follow.
Seek the Lord while I am living in this world, call him, pray to Him now for the listen to me, he loves people turn to him and their cry. They get the freely pardon, erase the sins.
There are two kinds of men, one is turn to the Lord and have mercy from the Lord, another one is wicked and unrighteous, one on the way to ruin.
How?
Pray to the Lord anytime and anywhere I have trouble or I am glad to achieve sometime. Pray to the Lord not only for help but also for thanksgiving.
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Why?
The grace and salvation of the Load is free but it needs to pay the price of faith and action to follow.
Seek the Lord while I am living in this world, call him, pray to Him now for the listen to me, he loves people turn to him and their cry. They get the freely pardon, erase the sins.
There are two kinds of men, one is turn to the Lord and have mercy from the Lord, another one is wicked and unrighteous, one on the way to ruin.
How?
Pray to the Lord anytime and anywhere I have trouble or I am glad to achieve sometime. Pray to the Lord not only for help but also for thanksgiving.

Vindication
Isaiah 54:11-17
The Lord comforted the afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted.
Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you.
If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
It is the Lord who created the blacksmith who fans the coals in flame and forges a weapon for it work. And it is the Lord who have created the destroyer to work havoc.
the heritage of the servants of the lord, and this is their vindication from me.
Why?
Vindication: defense; excuse; justification, 平反
The Lord is compassion forever, his wrath is terrible but it is temporary for he loved one has sin and against Him.
The Lord will vindicate for my suffering and my shame.
How?
Praise the Lord and give thanks to the Lord. Turn to the Lord, he is my savior and my redeemer. Only the Lord who can vindicate my affliction.

Forget the shame of your youth
Isaiah 54:1-10
Desolate woman has spiritual children much more than who has a husband.
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent churtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen our stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess (to put (a person) out of possession) nations and settle in their desolate cities.
You will forget the shame of your youth and remember not more the reproach of your widowhood. For the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed.
Why?
God pledges himself in tender, unswerving, enduring love to his people. Though 'mountains and hills may cruble' God's love for them will never end.
In peace and security the foundations of a new and dazzling city are laid.
The vision in these later chapters of Isaiah goes far beyond the events of the actual return from exile.
The restoration of Israel which took place then merges into a vision of the final glorious day when sin and sorrow will be nor more, and the whole Israel of God.
Don't let the shame of my youth bind me, the Lord Almight is my God, my redeemder, be strong, do not fear, enlarge and stretch my tent, my area, do not hold back, go forward.
Unfailing love is always with me from the Lord! Turn to right and left, is the Lord will bless me whereever I go.
How?
To be a nobal man, go forward with faith and blessing of the Lord. To preach the gospel and honor God's name. It is not what I can do, but the Lord can do through me.

Jesus the ultimate fulfilment of these words of Messiah
Isaiah 53:4-12
Jesus Christ, he was pierced for out transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way.
The Lord makes his life a guilt offering.
Why?
Jesus Christ bear the punishment of many and for his sake our sins are forgived.
The New Testament echoes Isaiah, seeing in Jesus the ultimate fulfilment of these words. He it was who willingly gave his life that all might be forgiven, takig 'the place of may sinners' to reconcile God and his people, 'unfolding' the effects of that original downfall.
How?
Each of us has turned to his own way, so was I. Thanks God, let me know I am a sinner, through Jesus Christ blood my sins could be erased and white as snow. Jesus is the Missiah.

Who has believed our message
Isaiah 52:13-15 53:1-3
Describing the coming Jesus- God's sfffering Servant. his feature, face... He will act wisely he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have ot heard, they will understand.
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Why?
This fourth Servant Song is the best-known of all. The scene shifts from the joyous home-coming to the lonly figure who paid the price of it. How different this is from the people's understanding of the future king: no svvlim, only rejection - a figure despised and ignored. Could God's hand be in this? 'Yes It was my will that he should suffer'
Even we, believer, esteemed him not. We have to meditate it more.
I believe the message of Jesus.
How?
Dear Lord, may your Holy Spirit remind me, let me honor your name, be a good servant before you, esteem Jesus Christ and obey his words.

Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure!
Isaiah 52:1-12
You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.
Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings(welcome news), who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the articles of the Lord’s house.
12 But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the Lord will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Why?
God's salvation is free, just open out heart and accept the Lord as our king.
All have been foretold by the Lord for He is God.
Good news to preach is to proclaim 1)peace-- Jesus brings peace 2)salvation - no chain of sins 3) Your God reigns - He will be your king when you turn to Him.
God will be my front and read guard, when I leave I will no in haste.
How?
Praise the Lord, I depart, go out from here, the Lord will go before me. What I have to do is touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure.

Where is the wrath of the oppressor?
Isaiah 51:9-23
The Lord comfortshis people, who has been put to shame from their rormentors.
Only the Lord comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men who are but grass.
Don't forget the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppessor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?
You afflicted one, made Drunk, but not with wine.
The Lord set the heavens in plce, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion,' You are my people.'
Why?
Made drunk by thier sins and their wicked heart. They lost direction for they don't know the truth.
The people of Israel for their sins they suffered wrath of the Lord, they been said 'Fall orostrate that we may walk over you, and you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked over.' They are nothing like grass among theor enemies.
How?
All of these terrifible time of suffering is past, my God Almighty comes to sae me, who makes the promise to me. Rejoice!

Lift my eyes to the heaven!
Isaiah 51:1-8
Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the qurry from which you were hewn.
Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. I blessed him and made him many.
Lift up your eyes to the heaves, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. (-- they all will die). For the moth will ear them uplike a garment, the wom will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through al generations.
Why?
Rock and qurry are the ancestor has done to them, think about how they had been and what they rely on. It is the Lord made them from one to many.
God always keeps his promises As he kept his word to childless Abrahm and Sarah, so he will save his people and with them all the nations.
Everything I see in these world will pass away, only the salvation and righteousness of the Lord will last forever.
Viewing things from the heaven will change my perspective, won't worry so much.
How?
Do not fear the reproach of men or terrified by their insults, trust in Him, my God. Lift my eyes to the heaven!
