THE CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES Old Testament Prophecy - Angelfire

himself saved them because he loved them and spared them. He himself redeemed
them, took them up, and exalted them all the days of the age. 10 But they distrusted and
provoked his Holy Spirit. He turned to them in animosity; he himself battled them. 11 The
one who brought the shepherd of the sheep up from the earth remembered the ancient
days. A Where is the one who placed the Holy Spirit in them, 12 the one who led Moses
with his right hand, the arm of his glory? He forced water from his presence, to make
for himself an eternal name. 13 He led them through the abyss like a horse through a
desert, and they did not labor, 14 and like livestock through a plain. The Spirit came
down from the Lord and guided them; you led your people in this way to make for
yourself a name of glory.
15 Return from heaven; look from your holy house of glory. Where is your zeal and
your strength? Where is the abundance of your mercy and of your sympathies? For you
gave up on us. 16 Indeed, you are our Father; for Abraham did not know us, and Israel
did not recognize us, but you, O Lord, are our Father. Deliver us; your name has been
upon us from the beginning. 17 Why did you cause us to wander, O Lord, from your way,
and harden our hearts so as not to fear you? Return on account of your slaves, on

name was not invoked over us. If you open heaven, trembling from you will seize the
mountains, and they will melt.
Isaiah 64 C
1 As wax melts due to fire, fire will burn up the opponents. The name of the Lord will
be manifest among the opponents; the nations will be disturbed due to your presence,
2 whenever you perform the glorious acts; trembling from you will seize the mountains.
3 From of old we did not hear nor did our eyes see a God beside you and your works,
which you will perform for those who wait for mercy. 4 For this will befall those who do
what is right, and they will remember your ways. Behold, you became wrathful, and we
sinned; because of this, we wandered off. 5 We all became like the unclean; all our
righteousness was like a filthy rag. We fell like leaves because of our lawless acts; in
this way, the wind will carry us away. 6 There is no one who invokes your name and
who remembers to take hold of you. For you turned your face away from us, and
delivered us up because of our sins.
7 Now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay; all of us are the work of your
hands. 8 Do not be exceedingly wrathful with us, and do not remember our sins for a
