(4:2-6)
Isaiah expects to things in the future
A City
&
A Savior

(5b) Covering =
canopy
( / ){huppa}
In the old Tab days the Lord was present but His tent was
closed
to them. Not so any longer! He invites them under his bridal canopy
This is the bridal canopy in the Jewish wedding festivity.
Usually made of ornamented satin, or velvet, supported by 4 poles.
The
h
uppa
symbolizes the new Jewish home that the couple creates together.
The Lord says, “Come under My canopy!”
As He was Jonah’s gourd…
He is:
our shade, our refuge, our shelter, our strong tower, our protector, our awning, our shelter, our covering, our patio cover, our roof, our umbrella, our haven, our sanctuary, our asylum, our envelope, our safe,…
T or F – “In Christ the sons of Adam boast more blessings than their father lost?” [from
Issac Watts
, Jesus shall reign where’er the sun]
YES! – A resounding Yes! (Not visits from God in the cool of the garden…but constant companionship never to be interrupted!)
(6) Shade, refuge, shelter –
Q: Why should we wait for these blessings when God can give them to us now?
He will wash us clean; set us apart; & bless us in our homes w/His presence.
Vance Havner said, “We should start living “
in
kingdom come
!”

“Emphasize Judas’ statement!”
This is not
“God’s plan for Salvation; nor a charter for world peace;
nor is it only application for the future in the millennium!”
It is certain that this Sermon has definite application for us today!
These truths are all repeated in the N.T. epistles for the church today!
See Jesus’ own ending in whom He says it is for Æ
Mt.7:24-27

Not just those that heard His words, but those that’ll hear His sayings!(vs.24)
