 16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for [a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if you do warn …

Thus far, I have been spending this year in a study on righteousness.  My reason for doing so on Evolutionary Creationist website is that a lot of answers to my Ultimate Questions for God seemed wrapped up that, and so I wanted to make sure that truly understood it, the best that I could.  And so I’m going through the verses on righteousness.  Well, in studying the “righteousness” verse of Jeremiah 33, I came upon the following passage, which to me speaks directly to creation, and indirectly to the age of our earth [emphasis added]:
 19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant …

 14 ” ‘The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

 15 ” ‘In those days and at that time
       I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line;
       he will do what is just and right in the land.

 16 In those days Judah will be saved
       and Jerusalem will live in safety.
       This is the name by which it will be called:
       The LORD Our Righteousness.’

 17 For this is what the LORD says: ‘David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house …

 23 This is what the LORD says:
       “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
       or the strong man boast of his strength
       or the rich man boast of his riches,

 24 but let him who boasts boast about this:
       that he understands and knows me,
       that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
       justice and righteousness on earth,
       for in these I delight,”
       declares the LORD.
I am to boast, if I boast at all, that I understand God and know God.  That is a boast that I generally stay away from.  In other words, though I understand and know God, and I refrain from boasting it because I am imperfect and may not …

Isaiah 63
God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption
 1 Who is this coming from Edom,
       from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
       Who is this, robed in splendor,
       striding forward in the greatness of his strength?
       “It is I, speaking in righteousness,
       mighty to save.”

 2 Why are your garments red,
       like those of one treading the winepress?

 3 “I have trodden the winepress alone;
       from the nations no one was with me.
       I trampled them in my anger
       and trod them down in my wrath;
       their blood spattered my garments,
       and I stained all my clothing.

 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
       and the year of my redemption …

 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
       for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
       till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
       her salvation like a blazing torch.

 2 The nations will see your righteousness,
       and all kings your glory;
       you will be called by a new name
       that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.

 4 No longer will they call you Deserted,
       or name your land Desolate.
       But you will be called Hephzibah,
       and your land Beulah;
       for the LORD will take delight in you,
       and your land will be married.

 5 As a young man marries a maiden,
       so will your sons marry …

 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
       because the LORD has anointed me
       to preach good news to the poor.
       He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
       to proclaim freedom for the captives
       and release from darkness for the prisoners,
 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor (Christ’s birth?)
       and the day of vengeance of our God, (Christ’s reign?)
       to comfort all who mourn,
The following message is to liberate the poor, brokenhearted, captives, and prisoners, by speaking of Christ’s birth and His subsequent reign. (I beleive this to be a double-prophecy, where Isaiah was speaking of events to come soon as well as events to come much much …

Chapter 59 of Isaiah struck me.  First of all, when I read it, I felt like Isaiah just kept repeating over and over again “You’re not righteous.  You’re not righteous.”  But it was more than that.  As I read it, it changed.  It changed from a record of deceit and sin to one of justice, followed by a promise to the repentent.  But again, that’s not really what really impacted me.  Let me lead you to it.  First, here Isiah 59, up to verse 15… well not exactly.  I’ve broken it down into the component parts of righteousness and what was true of Israel at this time.  Notice that Isaiah is writing of Israel in general.  As you can see in …

Isaiah 42:6
“I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness.I will take you by the hand and guard you,and I will give you to my people, Israel,as a symbol of my covenant with them.  And you will be a light to guide the nations. (NLT)

Isaiah 42:21
It pleased the LORD for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great and glorious. (NIV)

Isaiah 45:8
“Open up, O heavens,and pour out your righteousness.Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together.I, the Lord, created them. (NLT)

Isaiah 45:24
The people will declare,“The Lord is the source of all my righteousness and strength.”And all who were angry with him will come to him and be ashamed. (NLT)

Isaiah 46:12
Listen …

Isaiah 32

 1 See, a king will reign in righteousness
       and rulers will rule with justice.

 16 Justice will dwell in the desert
       and righteousness live in the fertile field.

 17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace;
       the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

Isaiah 33

 5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high;
       he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
Isaiah warns that where people have plenty, they will have nothing.  Once they have nothing, Jesus will return and the land will be restored. 

He warns that where evil is not repaid, it will be when they stop… when they die I suspect.

The land of Israel will …
