I’m not so good at waiting. Are you? I’m all in favor of immediate gratification, and seeing the results now. But as Believers, we do a good bit of waiting, don’t we? I might not like waiting, but still, as the song goes, “Through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God.”

This objection actually contradicts two of the previous objections, both of which understand that, according to Isaiah 53, the servant of the Lord would die.

What if the Lord gave a State of the Union address, to give an account of what is happening in the Kingdom of God presently. Can you picture it? From all over the world those who are the Lord’s gather together in a huge chamber large enough for multitudes upon multitudes.

This is the least likely interpretation of the relevant verses in the Hebrew, as confirmed by many major translations, both Jewish and Christian.

In a speech before foreign journalists in Jerusalem on Wednesday night, January 20th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appealed, once again, to the Palestinians to come to the peace table. “Let’s stop talking about talking. Let’s stop filing pre-conditions. Let’s get on with peace negotiations,” he said, showing his frustration with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. “This man doesn’t really want to negotiate. He wants to stop negotiating,” Netanyahu added.

Did you know that God sings? He sings over us with gladness and great rejoicing as One who has fully accomplished the deep desires of His heart.

As each new year approaches, I often look back at some of the emails I’ve received that year in response to articles I’ve written. I started to send the file I put them in to Sid so he could see how blessed people are with the shows and the website, but realized when it got to over 30 pages that he had no time to read through all of these. Then I thought perhaps you, my dear readers, might enjoy seeing what some of you have written, and in some cases, what I have answered back.

Actually, the New Testament record agrees with the picture of the servant of the Lord described in Isaiah 53, despite the fact that great crowds did follow Jesus at numerous times during his ministry.

I received an email that simply said, “I am trying to figure out how I can access the help/miracles that Sid talks about on his programs. Thanks.” The implied question is: How do I make those things work in my own life and have those supernatural experiences be my own experiences? Brief as her question is, the answer is multifaceted.

I’m surprised that you’re still using this objection! It is simply not true, as can be seen by checking even leading Jewish translations of the Bible.
