To fathom such a concept is impossible, but let's frame the situation...

When God speaks, mountains shake; then there's the handful of times when God actually swore - to add depth and pound the certainty of the matter into our view.

But this event stands alone as the only time that He ever based the surety of His word coming to pass on Himself.

The subject: He is God, and there is none else: a just God, and a Savior. If you haven't seen it yet, it's Isaiah's heavyweight section where God is on His throne, declaring His dominion and status as Creator, Savior, & Source of all that is.

Here it is, and note the content:

Quote:
I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear (confess).
This is echoed in Phil. 2:10 - every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess; but note what we all will confess:

Quote:
Surely, shall one say, "in the LORD have I righteousness and strength": even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.
If we don't agree with God (the meaning of confess) that salvation belongs to Him and not our works, and our righteousness comes from Him and not our efforts, we will be ashamed.

Quote:
In the LORD shall all the descendants of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Be justified - self explanatory; the descendants of Israel are spiritual Israel; not Jew by birth, but by faith.

He said it, people - it will happen.

What give's you the idea that it's a spiritual Israel?...

The content - has natural Israel acknowledged the Messiah? Sarah is, Hagar is not.

What do you think of what He said?

You go to heaven and just go up and see God , and you will be on your knees , because the power of God will be so great you would not be able to stand up in His presence there......

Astounding when He opens your eyes to it, isn't it? Peace

Is this the same God who we are told gets red in the face with human-like hysteria whenever gay people marry?

Yes, it will happen.


Notice it says the word goes out in righteousness.


Yes, the word of the Lord is righteous.


"The word of the Lord is upright and all His works are true, He loves justice and righteousness."


"In the Lord shall be the vindication and the glory of all the descendants of Israel. Only in the Lord are righteous deeds and strength."
