Week 6 - Student Choice Assignment  #1 - Blog

(a) Read Isaiah 25:1, 4, 8–9; 26:3–4, 9, 19 and the institute student manual commentary for Isaiah 25:1–11, “The Second Coming Will Be a Time of Great Rejoicing for the Righteous” (pg. 162). Then answer the following questions:

--- What specific blessings did Isaiah mention?

- He will give strength to the poor, and to the needy in distress.

- He will be a refuge from the storm.

- He will swallow up death in victory.

- He will take away the rebuke of his people

- He will keep him perfect in peace

- The inhabitants of the earth will learn righteousness

--- What desires did Isaiah express?

-       He desires to have the judgments come upon the earth and to have all be resurrected, and God’s plan of salvation be forwarded.

-       He desires to be close to God and to seek out God early for when his judgments are upon the earth.

--- What specific promises are given? 

-       The people on the earth will learn righteousness.

-       Dead men shall live, they shall arise, awake, and sing.

-       The earth shall be cast out of the dead.

--- If you were asked to speak at a funeral and could share two thoughts from these verses, which two would you share and why?

- I would share thoughts specifically from Isaiah 26: 19. That men shall live again when everyone is resurrected. That this life is only a step in our progression to returning to our Heavenly Father again, and being reunited with our loved ones also once again.
