Who God is in the Book of Isaiah

(I found this in my drafts and remembered that I had never taken the time to arrange this properly and post it! This is speaking of 2014.)

I have started on a quest this year to highlight what God says specifically about himself, some of his names, and his character. Rather a daunting mission, once one begins to read Isaiah! I list here merely what is found in Isaiah alone. I have cut out of this list all references God makes of himself in relation to “Israel”, “Jacob”, “David”, etc. There still remain around 60 separate names, statements or characters. And that is in Isaiah alone. Try searching the entire Bible; then further consider that John stated that if all the works of Jesus had been recorded the world itself could not contain the books written; perhaps then we may begin getting a picture of the greatness of God.
