Prophet Pearls #46 – Eikev
Isaiah 49:14-51:3

August 7, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Isaiah 49:14–51:3. It accompanies the Torah portion Eikev (Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25).
In this passage the prophet Isaiah gives reassurance of God’s unfailing love. To a personified Jerusalem He says, “I never could forget you.” Those who pursue righteousness and seek God are admonished to consider God’s faithfulness to Abraham. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions, here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

To encourage continued discussion, and because I greatly appreciate Nehemia’s intriguingly honest Isa 49:16-statement, here are a sequence of verses that I hope will bring clarity to a faith-building understanding of YeHoVaH’s Word. (I am a YAH-believer who has accepted after prayer and study in fear and trembling this passage in the context of the word of God.)
The Paleo-Hebrew word picture would say, Y (hand) H (behold) V (nail) H (behold). YHVH (Tetragrammaton) in Paleo-Hebrew seems to indicate a bedrock meaning of “a hand reveals a nail revealed.”
Please consider these:
Proverbs 1:24 Because [Wisdom] have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
Isaiah 49:15-17
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
Micah 5:2
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
John 20:27 Then saith [Yeshua] to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Revelation 5:6
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship [the dragon], whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Zechariah 13:1,6
1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Revelation 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Comments: Notice the Lamb who was slain since the foundation of the world (now in a resurrected, immortal spiritual body) has the evidence of wounded hands from eternity to eternity: from eternity-past in YeHoVaH’s name (YHVH) to eternity-future in hands of the reigning Lamb.
Further consideration, search phrases:
“YHVH hand reveals a nail revealed”
“Yeshua in Isaiah 49:16”
Hear wisdom…
