Isaiah-12. Belief in God is Universal!
God is with US! 31 March 2025, 2 Nissan, 5785.
[Isaiah 12:1] AND IN THAT DAY THOU SHALT SAY, O LORD, I WILL PRAISE THEE: THOUGH THOU WAST ANGRY WITH ME, THINE ANGER IS TURNED AWAY, AND THOU COMFORTEDST ME.
“ANGRY WITH ME.” Sometimes when we are punished and realize we are being punished and turn back to God and He has mercy on us we can be grateful for the punishment.
COMFORTEDST ME. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, no disaster that cannot be mitigated.
We chave tyo believe in God and the Bible. There is no claim aghaisnt the Bible that cannot be refuted. Bible Criticisim is a lie without foundation.

[Isaiah 12:2] BEHOLD, GOD IS MY SALVATION; I WILL TRUST, AND NOT BE AFRAID: FOR THE LORD [ALMIGHTY] IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SONG; HE ALSO IS BECOME MY SALVATION.
“GOD IS MY SALVATION.” God can do anything.
[Isaiah 12:3] THEREFORE WITH JOY SHALL YE DRAW WATER OUT OF THE WELLS OF SALVATION.
The waters of salvation from the Spring of Sichon in Jerusalem. Drawing of the Water was a very happy occasion and took place during the Feast of Succoth.
[Isaiah 12:4] AND IN THAT DAY SHALL YE SAY, PRAISE THE LORD, CALL UPON HIS NAME, DECLARE HIS DOINGS AMONG THE PEOPLE, MAKE MENTION THAT HIS NAME IS EXALTED.
DECLARE HIS DOINGS AMONG THE PEOPLE. in Hebrew not “people” but “peoples”. All the world must know of the glory of God.
[Isaiah 12:5] SING UNTO THE LORD; FOR HE HATH DONE EXCELLENT THINGS: THIS IS KNOWN IN ALL THE EARTH.
IN ALL THE EARTH – The great men of all nations in some way or other acknowledge God. God is the God of Israel.
[Isaiah 12:6] CRY OUT AND SHOUT, THOU INHABITANT OF ZION: FOR GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN THE MIDST OF THEE.
IN THE MIDST OF THEE i.e. in the midst of Zion, of Jerusalem. On a mystical-symbolic level “Zion” can also represent Joseph (Midrash Tanchuma). This is mentioned in Midrashim. The Eternal God is amongst us. We have to reach HIM and listen.
