In the 40th chapter of his prophecy,
Isaiah asks these questions in verse 18. To whom then will ye
liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare
unto him? The workman melteth a graven
image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth
silver chains. He that is so impoverished that
he have no oblation, chooseeth a tree that will not rot. He
seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image that
shall not be molted. Have ye not known? Have ye not
heard? Have it not been told you from
the beginning? Have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the
circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers,
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them
out as a tent to dwell in, that bringeth the princes to nothing. He maketh the judges of the earth
as vanity, Yea, they shall not be planted, yea, they shall not
be sown, yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth, and
he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the
whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. To whom then would
ye liken me, or shall I be equal, sayeth the Holy One? Lift up
your eyes on high, And behold, who have created these things,
that bringeth out their host by number? He calleth them all
by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong
in power, not one faileth. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and
speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment
is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? Hast thou
not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of
the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his
understanding. He giveth power to the faint,
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even
the youth shall faint and be weary, and young men shall utterly
fall. but they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as
eagles they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk
and not faint have ye not known? have ye not heard? have it not
been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood? from
the foundations of the earth. These words come from a chapter
which is full of comfort to the children of God. It opens, comfort
ye, comfort ye my people, sayeth your God, speak ye comfortably
to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare is accomplished,
that her iniquity is pardoned, for she hath received of the
Lord's hand double for all her sins. It's a chapter full of
comfort because it is full of the promise of God's salvation
of his people. Though the world around them
rages though the world around them would trample them underfoot
though the world may mock and may scoff at God and his people
here is a chapter that says unto them all is well all is well
God is the creator of this earth God rules on high God rules over
the nations They are nothing in His sight. And God has a people
whom He will save, whom He will redeem, whom He will deliver
from all their enemies. O Zion, that bringest good tidings,
get thee up into the high mountain. O Jerusalem, that bringest good
tidings, lift up thy voice with strength. Lift it up, be not
afraid, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord God will come
with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him. Behold, his
reward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his
flock like a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with
his arm. and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young. Behold your God. O people of God, cast down, broken,
worried, oppressed, suffering, lonely, cast out. O people of God, look up. Look up and listen. Behold your
God. He shall come with strong hand
and his arm shall rule for him. His reward is with him and his
work before him. He shall feed his flock like
a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with
his arm and carry them in his bosom and shall gently lead those
that are with young. He will watch over you. He is
watching over you. He is the mighty God, the ruler
of heaven and earth. There is no enemy that can touch
him or touch his people. There is no foe who can harm
you if he has you in his hands. Despite all that you might see,
despite all that you might hear in this world, God reigns over
his people. He is saving his people. He is delivering his people from
this world. And not one enemy can harm one
of his children. The chapter goes on to show us
the greatness and the might, the mightiness of this God. O you who mock, you who scoff,
You who laugh at those that believe in God, those who follow Jesus
Christ, you who ridicule faith in God and faith in His Son as
something for a past generation, as something you consider is
foolishness, long gone and buried, you who laugh at this God, hear
who He is. Who he was, who he is and who
he will ever be. Who he is today and where you
stand before him today. For this message of Isaiah's
is written to you today and is as relevant to you in 21st century
Britain, in 21st century America, in this world, in this generation,
at this time and this hour, this is the modern, the relevant,
the true, the vital words that you and I need to hear. It is
not the fashions of the time. which will stand. It is not the
current thinking of the scientists which will stand. The thinking
of the scientists comes and goes. It changes like the wind. They
find out something new, they change their minds. They make
some new discovery, everything is rewritten. The science books,
the textbooks, are scrapped and rewritten. This world is shifting
sands and the wisdom of man changes and changes and changes and nothing
stands and nothing saves and man can do nothing for your soul,
nothing for eternity. You're born, you live and you
will die. Your sojourn in this world is
brief. And if you put your hope in the
vain promises of man, in politicians, in countries, in leaders, in
the media, in pleasure, in riches, it will all be gone in a moment.
And death will stand before you. And what hope do you have then?
Where is your politics then? Where is your philosophy then?
Where is your science then? Where is all the masses of your
riches and your pleasures then? It's all about to go. And what
stands before you? eternity and the God described
by Isaiah in these pages. The message you need to hear
is where you stand before the creator of heaven and earth. The creator you despise, the
creator you ridicule, the creator you deny You pretend he isn't
there, you pretend he doesn't exist, you fool yourself that
there is no creator when the reality of your life and your
existence is proof. You cannot even believe your
own flesh and your own mind because you're so darkened and foolish.
And yet the very existence of you in this world says that you
have a creator who made you and sustains you and before whom
you must stand. Then hear this message today
which is so vital to your soul and to your future. Are you looking
for hope? Are you looking for hope? We've
heard this past week in Britain of a people who were voting for
hope for the future. Well they have no hope in the
vain promises of man, but here is hope. And if you hope for
the future, then listen to the message which will bring you
hope and bring you the promise and deliver on that hope. Behold. The Lord God will come
with strong hand and His arm shall rule for Him. Behold His
reward is with Him and His work before Him. Listen to this God. He has measured the waters in
the hollows of His hand. Who else has? You tell me which
man can measure the waters of this world, can measure the oceans,
the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Antarctic, can take
the waters in this world and lift them up in his hands and
measure them. Who's so great that he can measure
the waters of this world? Show me the man. Show me the
God. Well here is one. You can measure
the waters. Who have measured the waters
in the hollow of his hand and meted out heaven with the span
and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed
the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who can do such things? Who have
directed the spirit of the Lord or being his counsellor have
taught him? with whom took he counsel and
who instructed him and taught him in the path of judgment and
taught him knowledge and showed to him the way of understanding.
Behold the nations are as a drop of a bucket and are counted as
the small dust of the balance. Behold he taketh up the isles
as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient
to burn, nor the beast thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted
to him less than nothing and vanity. Who do you follow? In whom do you hope? In whom
do you hope for the future? Every man that you may follow,
every woman is somebody who was born knowing nothing. Someone
taught them, someone instructed them. They learned from this
one, they learned from that one. They grew in knowledge and with
that knowledge they come to their conclusions. They take counsel
with this one and that one. They have their advisors. And
then they grow old and their memory fails and their wisdom
fails them and it all disappears. They're nothing. They're finite. They're but men and women. They
only know so much and you place your hope in man to lead you. But here is one who was not taught
or instructed by anyone. He's the one who teaches and
instructs others. He's the one in whom there is
all knowledge and all wisdom and all understanding. And yet
you turn from him to foolish man. You'd rather follow the
wisdom of men who have gleaned their knowledge and wisdom from
others and follow them to the grave and follow them into the
ditch and follow them who promise hope and can deliver no hope.
You'd rather follow them. then follow or listen to the
God who rules them and this world. The God who made them. The God
who gave them their knowledge. The God who gave them their understanding. The God who put them in the positions
they're in. It's God who raises up leaders
and disposes of leaders. America last year had an election. And one leader went and another
leader was put in and the people, so many are full of consternation. Some are full of joy, some are
full of consternation. Oh how the media rages against
the choice of the people. Britain last year, made a decision
about where it will stand in Europe and this week they've
made another decision about who will rule over them and the people
think they've chosen but they've done nothing. God appointed who
would rule. And God overruled. God moves
in the hearts of man. God instructs. God gives wisdom. God leads the people this way
and that way. And God will take one that thinks
they're mighty and take them away. And God will take one that
thinks they're nothing and lift them up. God rules. Yet the fools
of men follow other men to their destruction and forget God. and forget that He rules over
all and forget that it's Him to whom they must answer. All
nations before Him are as nothing and they are counted to Him less
than nothing and vanity. To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare
unto Him? The workmen melteth a graven
image and the goldsmiths spreadeth it over with gold and casteth
silver chains. People make their own gods. They make graven images and bow
down to them so that they can see something and worship what
they can see. But God is no graven image. He's no ornate work of the hands
of men. Man didn't make God. God made
man and no graven image will provide you with anything like
a likeness of the true and the living God. And yet would you
rather bow down to something that man's made? To something
that man's made. How many bow down to graven images? Oh you say, well I don't, that's
for a past generation, that's for the superstitious. We don't bow down to graven images.
Yes, you do. All the making, all the creation
of man, whether it be a physical thing, or an ideology, or a written
thing, or a spoken thing, is all the creation of man. It's a graven image. Your politicians
are graven images if you bow down and follow them and worship
them. They've been instructed, they've been created by others. Your ideology, your philosophy,
your science is all a creation of your hands. However ornate,
however wonderful, however clever and do you bow down and worship
it? To whom will ye liken God? or what likeness will you compare
him unto? He transcends all these things
and he says unto you this day and he will say unto you again
on another day should you come to stand before him still captivated
by the foolishness of this world the voice of the grasshoppers
who would lead you astray, he will say unto you, Have ye not
known? Have ye not heard? Have it not
been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the
circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers. that stretcheth out the heavens
as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in that
bringeth the princes to nothing he maketh the judges of the earth
as vanity to whom then will ye liken me or shall I be equal
sayeth the Holy One lift up your eyes on high and behold who have
created these things as though not known Has thou
not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of
the ends of the earth, faint if not, neither is weary, there
is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint,
and to them that have no might, the increase of strength. This
God, who you have heard of, who you should know of, who has been
told of told to you since the beginning of whom you should
understand from the foundations of the earth this God is your
creator he is the creator of the ends of the earth and he
faints if not neither is weary and will you so foolishly deny
the creator and deny the creation and laugh at those that believe
in this creator and believe in the creation and believe that
he created this world, will you laugh at them because your foolish
science and your foolish leaders in science are telling you a
lie that you've been bewitched by? If you reject it, if you scoff
at this God and his truth, Then one day you will stand before
Him and He will say unto you, Have ye not known? Have ye not
heard? Have it not been told you from
the beginning? Have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth? Have ye not known what? Have
ye not heard what? Has what not been told you from
the beginning? And what have you not understood
from the foundations of the earth? Have you not known that this
God is your Creator? Have you not known that this
God created this world through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you not heard that He sent
His Son into this world to die in the place of sinners? Have
you not understood that from the foundation of the earth Christ
was slain? That His blood was shed to wash
His people from their sins? Has it not been told you that
God made this world? that He set His love upon a people
in this world, that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for
that people, that He saved that people, that He rose again victorious
from the grave, that He died, that He conquered death, that
He took away sin and that He rose with that people from the
grave. Has it not been told you? Has this Gospel not been made
known? Will you, when you come to stand
before God, say unto him, we didn't know. I didn't know. I never heard. I was never told. I did not understand. Will you pretend not to know? Will you pretend that you never
heard? Will you pretend that you were
never told? Will you pretend that you never
understood things which were there from the foundations of
the earth? Will you pretend that you didn't know and try to turn
the finger against God and blame Him for your unbelief? Will you
turn around to God who made His gospel known unto you? who declared
unto you who He is and what He's done, who made known the power
of His Gospel, who made known the glory of His Son, will you
turn round unto God and blame Him for the fact that you rejected
Him? And try to pretend unto God that
He never told you, that you didn't know, that you didn't hear, that
you never understood, that He never told you? Will you blame
him when he has told you? If you're here today listening
to this message, if you ever hear a recording of this message,
or you ever read something that says the same, if you ever hear
this, you're without excuse. Today you've been told. Today
you know. Today you hear. outwardly that
God rules this world. That there is a God who created
you before whom one day you will stand. That he sent his son into
this world to deliver sinners like you and I from their sins. To bring salvation. To bring
hope into a world that had no hope. to bring light into the
darkness, to bring righteousness into a world full of sin, to
bring salvation. He sent salvation, He set His
love upon a people, He shone forth His love and His mercy
and He said unto this world and He said unto that people, Behold
your God, behold the Lord God. He says unto the world, behold
my Son, behold the Lamb of God, hear Him, He said unto you. And will you on that day, when
time is gone, when your life is but a vapour that's washed
away that's blown away when will you on that day when you stand
before him turn around unto your creator and say I didn't know
I never heard I did not understand I was never told when you were
when you were told when you did know when you had heard and when
you should have understood. Will you blame God for your own
sin? Will you take your sin and your
guilt and charge Almighty God with it? Because that's exactly
what man does. That's exactly what man does.
a man takes the things of God he takes the truth of God he
takes today the truth of a creator and a righteous God who upholds
righteousness and he mocks that truth and he scoffs that truth
and he tramples it underfoot and he decries and mocks anyone
that believes it And he says of those that believe it and
those who declare it and those who are faithful unto it that
they hold ideas and ideals and beliefs which are evil. Man says of the goodness of God
that it's evil. Man says of the truth of God
that it's a lie. Man says of the grace of God,
the salvation of God, the gospel of God, the son of God. that
it is false, it's a lie, it's evil, he's evil. Man says of
these things that they are terrifying. Terrifying that anyone should
believe such things in our day and age. Terrifying that anyone
should believe in a God who created when science propounds that this
world evolved by chance in the darkness somehow out of chaos. Terrifying that anyone should
believe in a God who is sure and certain and who can bring
hope and who set his love upon his people and offered up his
own son to die in their place out of love for them. Terrifying
that anyone should believe in such a loving and a gracious
God. When science would tell us that
we came out of chaos, we are nothing, that there's no right
and wrong. Terrifying that we should turn
away from the chaos and the foolishness of science, which has no hope
and no answers and no love. and no care for your soul, that
we should turn from this foolishness unto the true and the living
God. Is that terrifying? Is it terrifying to believe there's
a God? Is it terrifying to believe in
his son? Is it terrifying that his son
laid down his life for sinners because he loved them from the
beginning unto the end? Is it terrifying that God should
save his people from their sins because of his great grace and
mercy to them? Is that terrifying? Is it terrifying
that there is a God who rules over all things so that there
is hope in the midst of chaos? Is that terrifying to you? Or
would you rather destroy God? And forget about God. And trust
in an uncertain and a violent world. Trust in those who lead
you in the countries and the nations who are proved to be
liars. Trust in those who after many
years are found guilty of crime. Trust in those who do one thing
and then do another thing. Trust in those who seek their
own ends and not your ends. Is it terrifying? to turn from
trusting in men who will let you down unto a God who won't. Is it terrifying to turn from
science which changes by the day, by the hour, which is shifting
sand, which has no foundation upon which to stand, which will
let you down in the end? Is it terrifying to turn from
science falsely so called unto the truth of God which stands
and is sure forever? Is it terrifying to turn from
the violence and the wickedness of this world in which there
is little hope and no certainty and no comfort and no help unto
a God who can deliver you with a mighty hand and save forevermore. Is that terrifying? I tell you
what is terrifying. I'll tell you what is terrifying.
And I'll tell you what are terrifying views. It is terrifying to come
on the day you die to stand before a God who will say unto you,
have ye not known? Have ye not heard? Have it not
been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth that I sit upon the circle of the
earth? and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers. Like you,
little grasshopper. That I stretched out the heavens
as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. That
I bring the princes of the earth to nothing and I make the judges
of the earth as vanity. That I shall not plant them,
they shall not be sown. Their stock shall not take root
in the earth. that I shall blow upon any the
mighty men in whom you trusted I shall blow upon them and they
shall wither and the whirlwind shall take them away as double
Is it terrifying to stand before the one who says to whom then
will you liken me or shall I be equal? Saith the Holy One Lift
up your eyes Have you not known? Has thou not heard that the everlasting
God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth
not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his
understanding. He giveth power to the faint,
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. But even
the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall
utterly fall. Is it terrifying, young man?
Youth. to know that your youth doesn't
last. Today you are young, today you
are strong, but soon you will be old and soon you will be weak
and soon you will stand before this God. What is terrifying? What are the terrifying views?
Will you rest in the vain hope of man? Did you hope for much
this past week? Were your hopes dashed? Will
you hope again in the future? Will they be dashed? If this
world follows the path you want it to should the country get
the leadership you desire? Should this thing be passed and
that thing be passed? Should this happen and that happen?
Soon you will be old and then you will be gone. And whatever
you had brought to pass, whatever was brought to pass that pleased
you, will be gone. And then you will stand, not
in time, but in eternity, before the One that made this world. Then what is terrifying? Have
you not known? Have you not known? You do know. You have known. It's in all of
us to know. It's in the creation around us. The sky, the stars, the moon,
the world around us, our own flesh, our own body, our own
conscience within tells us that we are made by this God to whom
we will answer. You've known. Whether anyone
told you, whether you read the scriptures or not, you've known.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? Have you
not heard this message? God has been preaching it from
the foundation of the earth. He's been declaring to this world.
He declares today. He sends preachers with the message.
He sent his word into this world. And he declares it from the heavens
above, from the sky above in all creation. He says, I am God. Turn unto me all ye ends of the
earth and be ye saved. I am God. Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from
the beginning? Will you turn round to God and
say you never told me when he sent preacher after preacher,
prophet after prophet with these truths and what did you do with
them? You slew them. Israel of old,
the people of old slew the prophets. Their blood was in the streets.
And preacher after preacher has been sent with the gospel throughout
the ages. And you turn your back and you
shut the door and you will not hear. God sent the scriptures. He told you through the scriptures. He said, behold my son. It's been told you from the beginning. From the beginning of time he
told you. From the beginning of the world
He told you. From the beginning of the gospel
He told you. From He who is the beginning,
Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, from
He who is the beginning He told you. Have it not been told you
from the beginning, from Christ? Has not Christ told you? Christ
reigns on high. He came into this world and he
preached his gospel. He went everywhere preaching
the gospel of the kingdom. He declared unto all who would
hear him the truth concerning himself. He had it recorded in
the book. He sent forth his disciples and
apostles and sent them forth to the four corners of the world.
And ever since he died, ever since he rose again, ever since
he ascended into heaven, he has continued to preach his gospel. He sends it forth from on high.
He calls preachers. He sends them forth. He makes
his gospel known. And he sends them forth that
you might hear. Have ye not understood have you
not known have you not heard have it not been told you from
the beginning has Christ not preached these things yes he
has and you run away and you shut your ears and you say I
will not listen then will you on that last day
turn under him and say I was not told Will you stand before
Christ himself, he who is the beginning, and say, you never
told me, when he never ceased to tell you. Every day in this
world, every day that you rose out of bed, the sun rose up in
the heavens. And whatever you might have heard
of the Gospel, whatever you might have heard from the Scriptures,
whatever you might have heard from Christians, whether it was
a lot or nothing, the sun rose up. And the sun rose up to say,
here is the sun, a picture of the sun. That in itself told
you, and you would not listen. Had it not been told you from
the beginning, from the beginning from the beginning of your life
until the end it's been told you from the beginning of time
until the end it's been told you you cannot say oh well this
is some new thing and I missed it I wasn't I didn't hear about
this You cannot say, oh well they began to talk about this
somewhere, sometime, but it passed me by. This was told from before
ever you were born. You were born into a world in
which this message was made known. It has been told you from the
beginning. From the foundations of the earth,
Christ was slain from the foundations of the earth. He was the lamb
slain from the very moment this earth was created, from the moment
that Adam and Eve sinned, from the moment that sin entered this
world and death by sin, God had purpose, God already had a son,
an offering, a lamb slain from the foundations. Blood was already
there to save his people from their sins. from the very beginning. Did you not understand? Did you
not understand the Gospel? Did you not understand why Christ
died? Will you claim not to understand? Well you don't want to understand,
do you? It's not that you can't understand,
it's not that it's not been made known, it's not that you've not
been told. You don't want to understand. Because to understand
is to have to acknowledge that the lamb was slain from the foundation
of the earth. The blood of the lamb was shed
to wash away sin. And you don't want to understand
that. Because to understand that and
to own that and to recognize that and to believe that is to
own and accept that you yourself are a guilty sinner before a
holy God. And that is your problem. That
is man's problem. Man doesn't mind worshipping
a graven image. He doesn't mind being religious. He doesn't mind believing many
things. This world is happy to have religion
in its midst. It will protect many religions. It will grant freedom to many
religions. But it won't protect and grant
freedom to the truth. It tramples the truth underfoot.
It describes those that preach the truth as terrifying. But
it tolerates everything else. Every other graven image, every
other false god, it will not reject. But it does reject Christ
and his people. You do not understand because
you don't want to understand. Because to understand is to recognise
that you're a sinner. To recognise that you've fallen.
To recognise that you've gone astray. To recognise that you've
rebelled against God. To own the fact that you did
know but chose to reject that knowledge. To own the fact that
you did hear but chose to shut your ears. To own the fact that
you were told but you decided not to listen. to own the fact
that you should have understood but you didn't want to because
it found you guilty and you wanted your own pleasure and you wanted
your own riches and you wanted your own ambition you wanted
your own way you wanted your own praise you wanted your own
glory you didn't want to bow down to God because you wanted
to worship yourself Every one of us bows down to a God and
ultimately the God we love to worship is to bow down and worship
ourselves. Our will rules, not his will. I'll go my way, not his way. I'll do my thing, not his thing.
We see this in everyone everywhere. We see this in children with
respect to parents. Students with respect to teachers.
People with respect to law and order. I'll go my way. I'll do what I will. We bow down and we worship ourselves.
And we understand this. We know this. You know it. You've heard it. You've been
told it. You understand it. You know you're
a sinner before God. You know you're guilty before
God. You know you're in need of salvation. You know that you
can't stand before Him. You know that that sin needs
to be washed away. And if you cared to listen you
would know that that God that you despise is a God who set
his love upon this world, who set his love upon his people
and who was willing to give his son as an offering for their
sin. He was willing to send his son
into this evil world. He was willing to send his son
unto a people who knew but would not know, who'd heard but would
not hear, who'd been told but would not listen. who understood
but chose not to understand. He was willing to send his son
to a people who should have received him, but rejected him. Who should have worshipped him,
but despised him. who should have received him
for who he was but they cried out crucify him, crucify him
he was willing to send his son unto a people who took him and
spat upon him and beat him and bruised him and nailed him to
a tree and pierced him he was willing to send his son to people
like you and I who murdered him and hated him and rejected him
and put him to death because he loved the people. He loved
those that killed his son. He loved a people who slew him. He loved the people who rejected
him and he took their rebellion, he took their hatred, he took
their sin and he placed it upon his son. as though he was the
one who hated, as though he was the one who rebelled, as though
he was the one who sinned. And instead of judging these
wicked ones that slew his son, instead of damning them, all
of them, for some of them, he judged his son in their place. There were a people who slew
his son, but he bore the price. There were people who hated him
but he bore the judgment. There were people who despised
God but he felt the fires of God's wrath in their place because
he loved them. They hated him who had spoken unto them. They
hated him whom they should have heard. They hated him whom they
should have received. but he loved them and though
they hated him he loved them to the end and though they rejected
him he never rejected them and though they cast him out he never
cast them out and though they would not have him he never cast
them away he took their sin, he took their rebellion and he
suffered under the price for it he who was light came into
the darkness and he bore the darkness and the light of the
sun went away and he died during the hours of darkness as God
judged their sin in him but at the end he rose up At the end
he rose up victorious. At the end he delivered them
from their sins. He delivered them that he might
take those who are weak and cause them to be strong. That he might
take those who were dead and make them to live. That he might
take those who were full of sin and make them to be full of righteousness.
That he might take those who had fallen and cause them to
fly like eagles. they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as
eagles they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk
and not faint he came unto his own and his own received him
not but he loved a people to the end a weak people, a weary
people, a despised people And he saved them. He saved them. Did he come for you? Did he come
for you? Is he your hope? Is he your hope? Will you hope in man? Who will
fail you? Or do you hope in this one? Who
loved those that hated him? Who is the creator of the earth? Who rules over all? who comes
with a strong hand, whose arms shall rule for him, whose reward
is with him, whose work is before him, who shall feed his flock
like a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with
his arm and carry them in his bosom and shall gently lead those
that are with him. Will you bow down and worship
this God and this Saviour? Have you not known Have ye not
heard? Have it not been told you from
the beginning? Have ye not understood from the
foundations of the earth? Amen.
