And, then again, maybe I'm ribbing Wendell?

I used to listen to J. Vernon faithfully when he was live. I thought he was great.

Now, I think riding on the Bible Bus is an escape from real time.

In response to The Bible Bus posted by pink101:

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about the "Bible bus" being an "escape." I think the Bible is God's revelation to mankind, and is for us to read and apply in our lives. But rather than debate that with you ad nauseum (because I doubt either of us will change the other's mind), I'd like to hear where Wendell was intending to go with this thread.

So, what do you say, Wendell? What in relation to Isaiah 55 do you wish to talk about?

First, let me add a link to my contribution for the excellent work done by the great folks at Thru The Bible

The Bible Bus with J Vernon McGee

People ask me, how did you become so knowledgeable about the Bible?.. I tell them, I got my Phd from JVMcGee... I did complete my first, 5 year study - on the Bible Bus....

I am now into my 2nd 5yr trip!.....

okie.. back on track!... Here we go... First, a repeat of post #1...

Isaiah 55:11: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

J V McGee states that chapters 54-57 of Isaiah speak of: Results of the redemption wrought by the Redeemer, who is God's only Savior.

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

This verse indicates that, "goeth forth [ out of my mouth ] refers to Jesus. He is called - The Word of God.

I will hold my thought here (for the moment)....

In response to The Bible Bus posted by _Boanerges_:

Okay, so Isaiah is speaking of the same "Word" that is referred to in John 1. The immediate 'problem' with this, of course, is that most (all?) English translations use the lower-case 'word' in Isaiah 55. Correct?

As an aside...

Here's an impressive article on this passage.

I believe Isaiah is speaking of Jesus..

Yes. An axiom..

Jesus, being tempted by Satan... responds...

Matthew 4

4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
