– 45:18 “Who did not create it in vain [formless]. Who formed it to be inhabited.” There are debates about this passage in light of Genesis 1:2. Did He create something formless and void, or did He cause it to become formless and void before He spoke the Earth’s order into existence?

Psalm 107:9 “For He satisfies the longing [thirsty] soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.”

– 55:8 “My thought are not your thoughts, nor are My ways, your ways.” Neither does He think or operate as we do. But, if we seeking after Him in persistence, He will show us pieces of His heart. Proverbs 25:2 “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings [anointed ones] is to search out a matter.”

– Isaiah 60 – Gentiles bless Israel.

– 61:1-2 is what He read in the synagogue at the start of His ministry in Luke 4:18-19. The rest will be fulfilled upon His return. Halleluyah!

– 64:6 “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy [menstrual] rags.” I hate the term “sin nature” because it softens the impact of what we actually are—corrupted flesh that deserves to be destroyed, an irritant to His holiness.

– 64:8 “But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand.” Also see Lamentations 4:2, Jeremiah 18:6, Romans 9:20, Romans 9:21, 29:16, 45:9, Job 10:9, Job 33:6, Psalm 40:2, John 9:6, 2 Corinthians 4:7.

– 65:8 “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ So will I do for My servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.”

“Life [the soul] is in the blood.” See Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 3:17, Leviticus 7:26, Leviticus 17:10. Leviticus 17:11, Leviticus 17:12, Leviticus 17:14, Leviticus 19:26, Deuteronomy 12:16, Acts 15:20, Acts 15:29, Acts 21:25.

– 65:12 “Because, when I called, you did not answer.” See 66:4, Proverbs 1:24, 2 Chronicles 36:15, Romans 10:21. This also reminds me of a story in Judges about the Benjamites not turning over the men who killed the Levite’s concubine and then Jabesh Gilead and Shiloh not answering the call to punish the Benjamites.

– 65:17 “I create new heavens and a new earth.” See Revelation 21:1, 2 Peter 3:13, 66:22, Revelation 6:14, 34:4.

Micah 7:17 “They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.”

– 66:1 and Acts 7:49 “Heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool. What is this house that you will build to me? And where is the place of My rest?”
Matthew 5:34-35 “But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.”

– 66:4 “So will I choose their delusions, and bring their fears on them.”

6:10 and Acts 28:27 “Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.”

Also see Deuteronomy 29:4, Jeremiah 5:21, Matthew 13:13, Matthew 13:14, Mark 4:12, John 12:40, Acts 28:26, Acts 28:27, Romans 1:24, Romans 11:8, Isaiah 6:9.

– 66:7-13 The rebirth of Israel with the Gentiles’ help.

– 66:24 “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, and their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Mark 9:44, 46, 48 “…where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’” Some Bibles only contain verse 48.
Matthew 3:12 “His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 25:41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’”

5:14 “Therefore Sheol [hell] has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.”
14:11 “Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket.”

Yup, that sounds like hell.
