Description
An inspirational piece of word art that reminds readers of the promises declared to all believers by God. These words are my own interruptation of some very powerful words written about Jesus' mission to His believers. The exact text may be found in the Bible, the book of Isaiah, chapter 61, verses 1 through 3.
The first verse of the Book of Isaiah states that Isaiah prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah (or Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah (Isaiah 1:1). Uzziah's reign was 52 years in the middle of the 8th century BC, and Isaiah must have begun his ministry a few years before Uzziah's death, probably in the 740s BC. Isaiah lived until the fourteenth year of Hezekiah's reign (who died 698 BC), and may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh. Thus Isaiah may have prophesied for as long as 64 years.
Isaiah 61:1-3 specifically prophesies of the Messiah's coming, foretelling of his mission. Jesus quotes these same verses in the New Testament in the book of Luke. By personal experience, I declare them as Truth as I have experienced them personally.
Whomever purchases this piece of wordart, I pray they bring them as much encouragement, peace, and hope as they have brought me.
