Isaiah 54:5 says, "For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One Of Israel; He is called The God of the whole earth." The above verse is taken from Isaiah 54 that is entitled "The Messiah's Promise Of Israel's Restoration." This will be one of the theme verses for our message this week. Please notice Jesus is referred to as their husband.
What does this mean? Ephesians 5:25,28,29 says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it . . . So husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies . . . For no one ever hated his own flesh." Jesus Christ referred to as the husband of Israelites and Christians is a concept that is difficult to understand. Let us remember we learned previously all scripture is "God-Breathed." We believe Jesus, as our husband, illustrates how large and extensive is His Love For All Jews And Gentiles. Bless His Holy Name!
Additionally, as part of Messiah's Restoration of Israel in Isaiah 54 we should also notice verse 10 that says, "But My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My Covenant of Peace be removed." This refers to the New Blood Covenant that Jehovah God established through the shed blood of Jesus. What is this New Blood Covenant? Romans 10:9,12,13 says, "That if you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved . . . For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek . . . For whoever calls upon the name of The Lord shall be saved." Hallelujah!
In conclusion, Isaiah 54:6 says, "My Covenant will never be removed." The definition of a covenant states it is a lasting agreement that will never end between two parties. As a result, the New Blood Covenant between Israel and Jesus Christ as their Messiah and Savior will never be broken. Amen and Amen!
May The Lord Bless You And Shine His Face Upon You,
