Isaiah 56:1 Thus says God, Keep you judgment and do justice. For my salvation is near to come and my righteousness to be revealed.

Isaiah 56:2 Blessed is the man that does this and the son of man that lays hold on it, that keeps the sabbath from polluting it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

Isaiah 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger.(one not belonging to the bloodline of Israel, but who wants to join them).that has joined himself to God speak saying, God has utterly separated me from his people.(Barnes Notes: Let him not esteem himself to be an outcast or cut off from the privileges of the people of God:.Deuteronomy 25:5). Neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.(not good for much anymore).

Isaiah 56:4 For thus says God unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths and choose the things that please me and take hold of my covenant;

Isaiah 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;

Isaiah 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar, for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Quoted in the New Testament in Matthew 21:13-15.

Isaiah 56:8 God which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Isaiah 56:9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.

Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind. They are all ignorant. They are all dumb dogs. They cannot bark. They are sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone. They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

Such are they who follow what the cabal lying media tells them and believe what is said by them. Many are ignorant, not having used their thinking capabilities for perhaps years, instead leaning toward turning a blind eye and remaining unawakened.

Isaiah 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and they are shepherds that cannot innerstand. They all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

Isaiah 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and they are shepherds.(they have their advisors, their accountants, their marketing professionals, their protectors and deceivers and so on, all trained in one way or the other in milking the public for all they can).that cannot innerstand.(cannot comprehend this and why?.Proverbs 14:12). They all look to their own way, every one for his gain.(those who are selfish place themselves out of sync with the Creator's ways of love:.Acts 19:23-28), from his quarter.

'Quarter' is where he lives. Can also imply, he considers things only from his perspective:.Matthew 16:2,3. The Creator is not selfish:.1Timothy 6:17. Those who are selfish place themselves out of sync with the Creator's ways of love).

Isaiah 56:12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine and we will fill ourselves with strong drink and tomorrow shall be as this day and even much more abundant.

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perish and no man lays it to heart and merciful men are taken away, but none consider that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

How may this happen?.Revelation 4:1.

Isaiah 57:4 Against whom do you sport yourselves and against whom make you a wide mouth and draw out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

Isaiah 57:5 Enflaming.(getting all excited over).yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

Isaiah 57:11 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied and have not remembered me.(didn't trust God; would rather live in fear of others), nor laid it to your heart.(didn't care about God at all:.Jeremiah 44:16,17)? Have not I held my peace even of old and you feared me not?.(even my kindness didn't cause a thought in you of respect toward me)

Isaiah 57:12 I will declare your righteousness and your works, for they shall not profit you.

"not profit you".how?

Isaiah 57:13 When you cry, you will be left to your companies to deliver you, even though the wind carries them all away. Vanity shall take them, but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land and shall inherit my holy mountain.

Barnes Notes: The word used here for 'companies' means 'a gathering', 'a throng', 'a collection'. Here it refers either to the throngs of the idols which they had collected, which were many and on which they relied or it refers to the collection of foreigners which they had summoned to their assistance. The idea is, that if people trust to other objects for aid than the arm of God, they will be left in the day of trial to such assistance as they can render them. What they trusted in will be like the protection which the wind sweeps away. The word for 'breath' does mean a breath and probably denotes here a gentle breeze, the slightest breath of air, denoting the entire instability of the objects on which they trusted. Their 'vanity' is that they were stupid enough to put their trust onto things that did not provide what they expected:.Jeremiah 2:8; 16:19.

Matthew 7:26,27.

Isaiah 57:15 For this says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy. I dwell in the high and holy place of contriteness and humility, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Isaiah 57:15 For this says the high and lofty One.(*).that inhabits eternity.(perpetuity, never ending), whose name is Holy.(wholeness, all one); I dwell in.(*).the high and holy place of contriteness and humility, to revive.(*).the spirit.(it's.a thing of the heart, not the head; you have two brains, your heart brain and head brain; your head is what one decides to be a certain way and your heart is where the feeling of what is in your head becomes more real to you the longer you have it in your heart {the process of wholeness; see envisioning}, real to you because it becomes a growing part of you, that is, your cells {how and why?}; then.you.are the high concepts if you were learning about them and if not, then you are tacitly contributing to negative issues which affect all humanity, how?).of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite.(Isaiah 66:2).ones.

How else could God help the humble if He didn't also be of that same mind:.Philippians 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Emmanuel."

The purpose of the Infinite One is to lift up, to help those needing help, to bring them up to the level of a higher consciousness where he that is love is the higher consciousness.

Isaiah 57:16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth, for.(in case one gets overly discouraged).their spirit would fail because of me.(God follows what He wants us to follow also:.Colossians 3:21; Luke 6:35).in the souls which I have made.(and then the souls I've made would be 'done like dinner').

Unlike a lot of humans, God realizes what His anger could do. The Creator has control over all including the anger he may develop when he sees us constantly on the way that hurts ourselves and others.

1Corinthians 10:13 "There has no temptation.(original is also 'trial').taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it."

Isaiah 57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him. I hid me and was wroth and he.(the people).went on frowardly in the way of his heart.(Jeremiah 44:16,17).

Isaiah 57:18 I have seen his ways and will heal him. I will lead him also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

Isaiah 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace to him that is far off and to him that is near, says God and I will heal him.

Isaiah 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips.(they'll be saying how wonderful it is to be in peace; how does this work?). Peace, peace.(original for 'Peace, peace' is 'wholeness', 'completeness').to him that is far off and to him that is near.(Creator-God's heart is that those who are far off from higher consciousness ways and perhaps just beginning on the spiritual road, will also be made whole {when? and it depends on one's decisions}, just as those who may now be growing in the ways of higher consciousness), says God and I will heal him.

Isaiah 57:20,21 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
