DAY 8
Isaiah 56:3-8
| Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from His people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. | There is only one Kingdom. Make us all citizens. There is only one Family. Make us all brothers. |
| {4} For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My coven-ant; | Enforce Your Covenant. Give us a Sabbath rest from the violence and pride of Humanism. |
| {5} Even unto them will I give in Mine house and within My walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. | Let us choose the things that please You, and not seek after escape from Your Kingdom. Give us a desire to live in Your House, to be citizens of Your City-State. Let all rival cities be dis-remembered. |
| {6} Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the Name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant; | We are sons of strangers. We are aliens from Your Kingdom. We have not been taught Your Ways. We have polluted our land. |
| {7} Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon Mine altar; for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. | Let us take hold of Your Covenant and bring us back to Eden. Let us give You our whole lives as a sacrifice, and not be conformed to the agenda of the Lawyers. Let the Judges leave their Humanist religion and bring sacrifices to Your altar. Jesus came to make this world a House of Prayer (Mark 11:17-18). |
| {8} The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. | Don't let the lawyers and pharisees destroy this petition. Let the people be astonished at Your Word. Gather us in. |
