Isa 53:2-3
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.


NIV
People call this Mother Nature?
Isa 51:15
15 For I am the LORD your God,
who churns up the sea so that its waves roar —
the LORD Almighty is his name.
NIV
Isa 44:24-26

I am the LORD,
who has made all things,
who alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,

25 who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,
26 who carries out the words of his servants
and fulfills the predictions of his messengers,
NIV
This is why we’re here:
Isa 43:7
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made."
NIV
People don’t realize this because they redefine the Bible to satisfy themselves:
Isa 40:6-8
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever."
NIV
Here are some things that all people must face:

1) You were created by God.
2) Religion was developed by man, the created, to satisfy man, the
created, and it is very much treated as a pass or fail test but it is
not a test, it’s an Eternity!
Isa 66:16
the LORD will execute judgment upon all men,
NIV
