according to Isaiah


One of the things I love about the Names of God is that they can exhibit aspects of His character and illustrate His Nature, while also giving us a reference point for how to address and call on Him.
Isaiah used the richest vocabulary of the Old Testament while conveying the nature, person, character, and intimacy of God. Isaiah write panoramically of the breadth, depth, goodness, and goodness of God. 


Isaiah 1:24 (NASB)

“Therefore the Lord God of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares...."

Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 17:7
“In that day man will have regard for his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.”

Isaiah 17:10 (NASB)
“For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge.”

Isaiah 19:20
“It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them.”

Isaiah 28:16
“therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’

Isaiah 37:16 (ESV)
 “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

Isaiah 41:4 (ESV)
“Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.”

Isaiah 54:5
“For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name;
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.”

Isaiah 60:20
“Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.”

Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)
“But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

Isaiah 12:1-6 (NASB)
Thanksgiving Expressed

“Then you will say on that day, “I will give thanks to You, O Lord;
For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me. “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things;
Let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
