Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 42:5-7 (KJB)

Verse 5 describes how God created His universe. God "stretched them out" which prophesied that which modern science has discovered that the universe constantly expands in all directions from a central location. God also "spread forth the earth" which means He continuously added matter to a central location until He had spread the earth to the size that He wanted. God then spread life all over the earth. God then created humans in His image and put a knowledge of His Spirit into them. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:7 (KJB). God created humans with a body, soul, and spirit. I Thessalonians 5:23 (KJB). Through his body, a human has a sensual consciousness of the world and his actions within it. Through his soul, a human has a consciousness of himself, his personalty, and his will power. But through his spirit, humans have a consciousness of God and the connection of his whole being to the Being of God. Many humans deny this fact or ignore it, but when they hear or read the Word of God, they often deeply feel the presence of the Spirit of God.

God creates all humans to be good and righteous. Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God will preserve the righteous natures of all humans forever. Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God called a special people to whom He had given a clear revelation that they possessed an inner spirit with its connection to a consciousness of Him. He called them to record His Word and give it to the rest of humanity. But He gave that revelation to only a small minority of the Hebrew people, some of whom would write His Word and give it to the entire human race. Even so, God has preserved His pure, written Word to this day despite the fact that entire nations have sought to destroy it. Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB). Within that Word, God has given His covenant to the entire human race, including all of the Gentiles who greatly need the light of God's Word because they sit in the darkness of evil. God's covenant within His Word happens to be His message of love to the entire human race that He has sent His Son to be their Savior by taking all of their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths upon Himself on a cruel cross and rising from the dead victorious over the Devil and all evil. Genesis 3:15; John 12:31-32; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:9-18; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). If Christ had come to save humans only by His grace, then He would have gained only a partial victory over the Devil and all evil. God never attains partial victories. Whenever God goes to war with His enemies, He completely crushes them out of existence. God will bring all of His living humans back to faith in Him and their knowledge of the connection of their spirits to His Spirit, some by His grace and all others when He appears to them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:28-29 (KJB).

Christ will open the blind eyes of all of His living humans confined to the darkness of the prison house, which are the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can bring them all out of the prison and recreate them all with righteous lives on His new earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12; John 5:28-29 (KJB).
