There...Avraham Gileadi translation of Isaiah 5:25 <br /><br />Therefore the anger of the Lord is kindled against his people: <br />he draws back his hand and strikes them; <br />the mountains quake, and their corpses lie like litter about the streets. <br />Yet for all this his anger is not abated; <br />his hand is upraised still.<br /><br />Upraised still, instead of stretched out still. It does sound like it's upraised about to strike again. This has a very different meaning than stretched out still, from what I always thought it meant.<br />Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121343036588406343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665085267750808287.post-5779774476137915452015-09-22T14:45:18.849-06:002015-09-22T14:45:18.849-06:00Isaiah 5/25 is saying that the anger of the Lord i...Isaiah 5/25 is saying that the anger of the Lord is kindled....but his hand is outstretched still ( meaning he is always extending his mercy and love to bring a person or people away from his anger if they will listen and follow him ) You have to go further and read verses 26-30 to see that his hand is outstretched to to bring out a righteous people to build Zion if they will listen. The Lord sends an ensign which will hiss or touch their hearts and the people will come running to his call. These people will sacrifice all will be filled with the spirit and answer the call of the Lion. So in the context of this invitation, it make complete sense and applies as this is the ensign going forth. Who will listen?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701963101500115535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665085267750808287.post-14817923051438564792015-09-21T18:41:05.759-06:002015-09-21T18:41:05.759-06:00Thank you Craig, for having us look at that.

The same hand that smites, is outstretched to help. His word is "sharper than a two-edged sword" and it cuts both ways. The same truth that will save you, will also serve to condemn you, if you harden your heart against it.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087472122863801493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665085267750808287.post-9499730780303254532015-09-20T20:40:14.874-06:002015-09-20T20:40:14.874-06:00In Isaiah 5:25 when it says "his hand is stre...In Isaiah 5:25 when it says "his hand is stretched out still" it means that God is still smiting his people, not that he is offering them assistance. This is a repeated refrain up through chapter 10 ("his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still") where the Assyrian is the staff of the Lord's indignation. The Lord's anger finally abates in chapter 11 through the righteousness of the stem of Jesse as Israel is gathered. At last in 12:1 the prophet writes " O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me" after which the phrase "his hand is stretched out still" doesn't occur again.Craig Morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665085267750808287.post-29567811225539720212015-09-20T20:24:15.925-06:002015-09-20T20:24:15.925-06:00I think each person is inspired to move the work f...I think each person is inspired to move the work forward in their own way.

If the Holy Ghost inspired someone to write and share it, great. If I don't feel inspired to share it in the manner and time frame set out by the author(s), do I not have the inspiration of the Holy Ghost? How is this orchestration different from what I am told by LDS church leaders when they introduce a new program (ie-create a meet the Mormon profile, participate in Mormon helping hands project on this day and in the way that we have organized it, etc)? I am being sincere in raising this concern. I believe in the Lords work but I feel like when we try to tell others what to do and how to participate, it becomes mans work. I know that we should only participate if we personally feel the Holy Ghost but again, who is really following the promptings of the Holy Ghost-the ones who participate or the ones who don't?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665085267750808287.post-47384713216826459102015-09-20T13:50:31.156-06:002015-09-20T13:50:31.156-06:00Thank you, Brother Adrian Larsen, for a new intere...Thank you, Brother Adrian Larsen, for a new interesting link.<br />Just have visited it.
