Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.




Isaiah 40:21-25
King James Bible

upon the circle

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.





Isaiah 45:5-8
King James Bible

I make peace

HAMAS’ın Gazze’deki ABD-İsrail ablukasını yarma harekatının yüz otuzuncu günündeyiz.
Batılı ülkelerin desteğinde ABD-İsrail güçlerinin Gazze’de katlettiği insan sayısı otuz bine
ulaştı.
Uzunluğu 41, genişliği 6- 12 km. olan 360 km karelik Gazze’nin bu dar alanında yıllardır
ABD-İsrail’in en ağır kuşatması altında yaşayan yaklaşık üç milyon kişi, HAMAS
harekatının başladığı 7 Ekim’den beri, toplanma kamplarının birinden diğerine sığınarak
yaşamaya çalışıyor.
ABD-İsrail bombalarıyla sağlam bir tek binanın bırakılmadığı, hastanelerin, sağlık
merkezlerinin, sığınma yerleri olan camilerin, kiliselerin özellikle seçilerek yıkıldıkları
Gazze’de açlık acıyı da aşmış durumda.
Yardımların eriştirilebildiği Refah kapısı ise ABD-İsrail canavarınca tutulduğu için, ilaç
bulmaktan, tedavi olmaktan vaz geçmiş bulunan halk, hayvan yeminden yapılan
ekmeklerle beslenmeye çalışıyor.
Mazlumların imdat çığlıkları ABD’nin Gazze’ye sevk ettiği keskin nişancıların katliamlarıyla
kesiliyor.
Bundan on beş günce, ABD-İsrail saldırılarından kaçmak için yola çıkan beş kişilik bir aile
ateş altında kalaınca, aile fertlerinden altı yaşındaki Hind Receb’in imdat çağrısıyla onları
bulmak için (ABD-İsrail güçlerinin bilgisi dahilinde) yola çıkarılan ambulanstaki Kızılay
elemanlarından Yusuf Zeyno ve Ahmed Medhun da Hind ve ailesiyle birlikte katledildiler.
Güvenli bölge denilerek Refah kapısına zorla sürülenlerin üzerine önceki gün ABD-İsrail
savaş uçakları, topları ve savaş gemileri gece boyunca ölüm ve yıkım yağdırdı.
Bu tekli ve toplu vahşetin ve yüz otuz gündür yaşanan binlerce örneğinin dünya diliyle
izahı, dünya menfaatleriyle, iktidar hırslarıyla gerekçelendirilmesi nasıl mümkün olabilir?
Ama ne yazık ki aklın ve vicdanın mümkün görmediği şeyler ABD-İsrail tarafından tarihi
yalanlar eşliğinde mümkün kılınmak isteniliyor.
“Gazze’de bir soykırım yaşanıyor, İsrail’in sahibi olarak ABD bu konuda ne düşünüyor”
diye sorulduğunda, “Evet insanlar ölüyor ama bunun soykırım olduğunu gösteren bir delil
yok; İsrail’in kendini savunma hakkı vardır; ABD’nin sınırsız desteği sürecektir.”
şeklindeki söz klişesi yüz otuz gündür vicdan sahiplerinin ikrah ettikleri bir nakarat olarak
tekrarlanıyor.

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.






Isaiah 58:13-14
King James Bible

against powers

ride upon the high places

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.





Isaiah 54:8-10
King James Bible

with favour

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me (Coney Island edit)

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.


Isaiah 53:5-9 King James Bible

we esteemed him not

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.





Isaiah 60:10-14
King James Bible

abbellire i miti

to beautify the place of my sanctuary

The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.




Isaiah 30:24-26
King James Bible

when the towers fall.

The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.



Isaiah 30:6-11
King James Bible

Leur force est de rester assis tranquillement.

Their strength is to sit still.

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.









Isaiah 18:1-7
King James Bible

under foot

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
