Isaiah 7
3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
Here, God has a message for Ahaz, King of Judah. The message includes specific instructions on what to do in the face of imminent war against Israel, which was in league with Syria. The message to Ahaz is fear not, because your enemies will be unsuccessful.
Just wondering. Does God ever provide specific instructions to our country's leaders as we face various warring enemies?
Now God does talk to me. And, so far, the only things he is telling me for sure is to read and study my Bible every single day, and help out around the church. And seriously, I have absolutely no idea what he's telling anyone else....

A Final Dark, Grusome Note From Isaiah
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 Imman'u-el.
This is a wonderful passage from Isaiah. The moment of hope. The whole Bible seems to rotate around it.
Isaiah 66
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Here we have, at the very end of the book of Isaiah, what is one of the darker moments in the Bible, the final, gruesome end of lost sinners.
