••• You should recognize and know "and use" God's Hebrew Name! It is יהוה and sounds like
to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••
Isaiah 5:18-6:7 MWT . . .Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with wagon cords, (19) who say: "Let him be quick, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it!" (20) Woe to such foolish emboldened ones who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (21) Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight! (22) Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, (23) who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right! (24) Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of יהוה of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. (25) Therefore the anger of יהוה was kindled against even the wicked among his own people, and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. (26) He will raise a signal for nations far away, and whistle for them from the ends of the earth; and behold, quickly, speedily they come! (27) None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistband is loose, not a sandal strap broken; (28) their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind. (29) Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and seize their prey; they carry it off, and none can rescue. (30) They will growl over it on that day, like the growling of the sea. And if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by its clouds. Isaiah 6:1-7 ESV In the year that King Uzziah died I saw יהוה sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. (2) Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (3) And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is יהוה of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!" (4) And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. (5) And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, יהוה of hosts!" (6) Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar [likely the sacrifice of the Christ]. (7) And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."
Isaiah 5:18-6:7 GNB . . .You are doomed! You are unable to break free from your sins. (19) You say, "Let the LORD (יהוה) hurry up and do what he says he will, so that we can see it. Let Israel's holy God carry out his plans; let's see what he has in mind." (20) You are doomed! You call evil good and call good evil. You turn darkness into light and light into darkness. You make what is bitter sweet, and what is sweet you make bitter. (21) You are doomed! You think you are wise, so very clever. (22) You are doomed! Heroes of the wine bottle! Brave and fearless when it comes to mixing drinks! (23) But for just a bribe you let the guilty go free, and you keep the innocent from getting justice. (24) So now, just as straw and dry grass shrivel and burn in the fire, your roots will rot and your blossoms will dry up and blow away, because you have rejected what the LORD (יהוה) Almighty, Israel's holy God, has taught us. (25) The LORD (יהוה) is angry with his people and has stretched out his hand to punish them. The mountains will shake, and the bodies of those who die will be left in the streets like rubbish. Yet even then the LORD (יהוה)'s anger will not be ended, but his hand will still be stretched out to punish. (26) The LORD (יהוה) gives a signal to call for a distant nation. He whistles for them to come from the ends of the earth. And here they come, swiftly, quickly! (27) None of them grow tired; none of them stumble. They never doze or sleep. Not a belt is loose; not a sandal strap is broken. (28) Their arrows are sharp, and their bows are ready to shoot. Their horses' hoofs are as hard as flint, and their chariot wheels turn like a whirlwind. (29) The soldiers roar like lions that have killed an animal and are carrying it off where no one can take it away from them. (30) When that day comes, they will roar over Israel as loudly as the sea. Look at this country! Darkness and distress! The light is swallowed by darkness. Isaiah 6:1-7 GNB In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his throne, high and exalted, and his robe filled the whole Temple. (2) Around him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had six wings. Each creature covered its face with two wings, and its body with two, and used the other two for flying. (3) They were calling out to each other: "Holy, holy, holy! The LORD (יהוה) Almighty is holy! His glory fills the world." (4) The sound of their voices made the foundation of the Temple shake, and the Temple itself became filled with smoke. (5) I said, "There is no hope for me! I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes I have seen the King, the LORD (יהוה) Almighty." (6) Then one of the creatures flew down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs [likely the sacrifice of the Christ]. (7) He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, "This has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven."
Isaiah 5:18-6:7 NWT . . .Woe to those drawing error with ropes of untruth, and as with wagon cords sin; 19 those who are saying: “Let his work hasten; do let it come quickly, in order that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know [it]!” 20 Woe to those who are saying that good is bad and bad is good, those who are putting darkness for light and light for darkness, those who are putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those wise in their own eyes and discreet even in front of their own faces! 22 Woe to those who are mighty in drinking wine, and to the men with vital energy for mixing intoxicating liquor, 23 those who are pronouncing the wicked one righteous in consideration of a bribe, and who take away even the righteousness of the righteous one from him! 24 Therefore just as a tongue of fire eats up the stubble and into the flames mere dried grass sinks down, their very rootstock will become just like a musty smell, and their blossom itself will go up just like powder, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah (יהוה) of armies, and the saying of the Holy One of Israel they have disrespected. 25 That is why the anger of Jehovah (יהוה) has grown hot against his people, and he will stretch out his hand against them and strike them. And the mountains will be agitated, and their dead bodies will become like the offal in the midst of the streets. In view of all this his anger has not turned back, but his hand is stretched out still. 26 And he has raised up a signal to a great nation far away, and he has whistled to it at the extremity of the earth; and, look! in haste it will swiftly come in. 27 There is no one tired nor is anyone stumbling among them. No one is drowsy and no one sleeps. And the belt around their loins will certainly not be opened, nor the laces of their sandals be torn in two; 28 because their arrows are sharpened and all their bows are bent. The very hoofs of their horses will have to be accounted as flint itself, and their wheels as a storm wind. 29 The roaring of theirs is like that of a lion, and they roar like maned young lions. And they will growl and grab hold of the prey and bring [it] safely away, and there will be no deliverer. 30 And they will growl over it in that day as with the growling of the sea. And one will actually gaze at the land, and, look! there is distressing darkness; and even the light has grown dark because of the drops falling on it. 6:1 In the year that King Uz·zi´ah died I, however, got to see Jehovah (יהוה), sitting on a throne lofty and lifted up, and his skirts were filling the temple. 2 Seraphs were standing above him. Each one had six wings. With two he kept his face covered, and with two he kept his feet covered, and with two he would fly about. 3 And this one called to that one and said: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah (יהוה) of armies. The fullness of all the earth is his glory.” 4 And the pivots of the thresholds began to quiver at the voice of the one calling, and the house itself gradually filled with smoke. 5 And I proceeded to say: “Woe to me! For I am as good as brought to silence, because a man unclean in lips I am, and in among a people unclean in lips I am dwelling; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah (יהוה) of armies, himself!” 6 At that, one of the seraphs flew to me, and in his hand there was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs off the altar [likely the sacrifice of the Christ]. 7 And he proceeded to touch my mouth and to say: “Look! This has touched your lips, and your error has departed and your sin itself is atoned for.”
