YeshayahuChapter 64
Oh That You Would Tear the Heavens
'Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down' — the desperate prayer Isaiah lifts is the longing Yeshua's incarnation answers and His return will fulfil finally.
- Oh, That You Would Rend the Heavens
Oh, that You would tear open the heavens and come down! A desperate prayer for Elohim's manifest presence.
- 1Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
- 2as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
- 3When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
- 4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen an Elohim besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
- 5You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
- We Are the Clay, You Are the Potter
We are the clay, You are the potter. Even your best efforts need Elohim's shaping hand.
- 6For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
- 7There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
- 8But now, YHWH, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
- 9Don’t be furious, YHWH. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
- 10Your kodesh cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
- 11Our kodesh and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burnt with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
- 12Will you hold yourself back for these things, YHWH? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
