There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

NT -- Galatians 2:17-3:9

Please click here and go watch this incredible teacher who actually loves Paul and can teach this scripture passage AMAZINGLY.


OT -- Isaiah 22:1-24:23
More portents and omens. More doom and gloom.
The are two insertions in our scripture today. My commentary says that the later writer of Isaiah or a later editor inserts 'contemporary' people and facts to update the prophesy to what was happening at the time of the completion of the scroll.
You will remember Eliakim from the Temple from Ezra and Nehemiah. And the 70 years is the time of captivity in Babylon hence the Tyre/prostitute scenario.

If you are trudging through this part of Isaiah, have courage. Soon we will be out of the poetic crushes.

Have a lovely day and stay in the Word.
