READ: ISAIAH 40:21-2321 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 23 He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless. NKJV



READ: ISAIAH 42:99 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them." NKJV

WHAT DID MOSES SAY TO ISRAEL?READ: EXODUS 33:3-6

3 Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people." 4 And when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.5 For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you.'“6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb. NKJV

8 So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.9 Then he said, "If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance." NKJV



WHAT DID MOSES SAY TO ISRAEL?READ: DEUTERONOMY 9:6-7

6 Therefore understand that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people. 7 "Remember! Do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.




12 "Then the LORD said to me, 'Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.' 13 "Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, 'I have seen this people, and indeed they are a stiff-necked people.14 Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.' NKJV




26 Therefore I prayed to the LORD, and said: 'O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people and Your inheritance whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.27 Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look on the stubbornness of this people, or on their wickedness or their sin,28 lest the land from which You brought us should say, "Because the LORD was not able to bring them to the land which He promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.“ NKJV




26 "Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;27 for I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the LORD, then how much more after my death?29 For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands." NKJV

NKJV



WHAT DID THE LORD SAY TO EZEKIEL?READ: EZEKIEL 2:3-5

3 And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.‘5 As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse — for they are a rebellious house — yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. NKJV



WHAT DID STEPHEN SAY?READ: ACTS 7:51-53

51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?

NKJV




And your neck was an iron sinew And your brow bronze

HOW DID JEREMIAH DESCRIBE THEM?READ: JEREMIAH 6:28-30

28 They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers. They are bronze and iron, They are all corrupters; 29 The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; The smelter refines in vain, For the wicked are not drawn off. 30 People will call them rejected silver, Because the LORD has rejected them." NKJV




READ: EZEKIEL 3:4-94 Then He said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.




READ: EZEKIEL 3:4-97 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted.8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.9 Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house." NKJV


4 Because I knew that you were obstinate, And your neck was an iron sinew, And your brow bronze,5 Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, Lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, And my carved image and my molded image Have commanded them.‘

WHEN WAS THIS DECLARED TO THEM?from the beginning I have declared it to youBefore it came to pass I proclaimed it to you

WHY?Lest you should say: 'My idol has done them and my carved image

And my molded image Have commanded them.‘

For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw no trouble.18 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine." NKJV

READ: ISAIAH 48:6-8

ISRAEL REFINED FOR GOD'S GLORY 6 "You have heard; See all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
