A New Voice of Freedom

The controlling theme of our Podcasts is that we are all children of God who is no respecter of persons. We are all created equal by God. The primary purpose of a democratic republic is to protect that equality, making all laws equal to all citizens all the time. We need to return to the vision of our forefathers that "certain truths are self evident, that among our inalienable rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If we are to survive as a republic, we must hold firm to the Constitution and Bill of rights, to the balance of power, and above all, we must, as a Christian nation, hold firm to our belief that it is God who protects our freedom, and it is truth that makes us free. We must protect freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. All citizens must have the right to realize their own desires and pursue their own destiny.

Season 6, Podcast 62, Isaiah 12:1-6, “God is My Salvation.”

Isaiah focuses on Christ. At the beginning of his ministry, he saw Christ.

Isaiah 6:1

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

Isaiah speaks of the birth of Christ.

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Many search the words of Isaiah, particularly in our day because he also saw our day as clearly as he saw his own. He refers to our day as the “last days.”

Isaiah 2:2

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Though a common theme, perhaps no other prophet spoke more of the Millenium.

Isaiah 1:25-27

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

Only the righteous shall live in the Millennium.

Isaiah 4:2-3

In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

The entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord.

Isaiah 11:9

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

In Isaiah 12, which is focused on the Millennium, we learn that the center will be Christ.

Isaiah 12:1

And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Here we learn that the wrath of God is turned away. The wrath of God or the anger of God refers to the law of justice. It refers to the punishment of the Law of Justice. The two most telling traits of God are the law of justice and the law of mercy. We may think that God is God because of the law of mercy. That is inaccurate. God is merciful because of the law of mercy. Christ was God before he came to earth, before the baptism by John, before the temptations in the wilderness, before the Garden of Gethsemane, before the Cross, and before the resurrection. God is God because of the law of justice. If God were not just, he would cease to be God. Christ did not have to give his life for us. That was a choice because of his love for us. Christ obeyed the Father in all things. That means he never violated the law of justice. That is what qualified him to be our Savior. If Christ had fallen. If Christ had sinned, there would have been no one to save him, and there would have been no one to save us. He risked everything, even his own salvation, by being born of Mary and taking upon him flesh and blood. The temptations in the wilderness represented real temptations; otherwise, what empathy could he have for us? What allowed Jesus to become the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the world is that he never gave in to temptation. Paul said.
