Isaiah 41:22

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”

But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”

Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

“Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.

Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that Yahweh has truly sent him.”

Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe.

But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.

Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right?’ Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.

I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior.

I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,

I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”

There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king Nebuchadnezzar your father, yes, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.

to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”

Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.

There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’

You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.

I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we have not entreated the favor of Yahweh our God, that we should turn from our iniquities and have discernment in your truth.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”

Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.

Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.

For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.

“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom Yahweh loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.

“Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal: say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’

He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
