Tonight was a joint service at D+1, which turned out to be an excellent exploration of the balance between 'God as love' and 'God as holy' and what it means for us 'to be holy'. However, due to a slip up, one of the Bible readings was wrong and we heard the few verses that are Isaiah 4...
When that time comes, seven women will grab hold of one man and say, "We can feed and clothe ourselves, but please let us say you are our husband, so that we won't have to endure the shame of being unmarried."
The time is coming when the LORD will make every plant and tree in the land grow large and beautiful. All the people of Israel who survive will take delight and pride in the crops that the land produces.
Everyone who is left in Jerusalem, whom God has chosen for survival, will be called holy.
By his power the Lord will judge and purify the nation and wash away the guilt of Jerusalem and the blood that has been shed there.
Then over Mount Zion and over all who are gathered there, the LORD will send a cloud in the daytime and smoke and a bright flame at night. God's glory will cover and protect the whole city.
His glory will shade the city from the heat of the day and make it a place of safety, sheltered from the rain and storm. (GNB)
It is intriguing to ponder what might have been preached from that! Not least as the preacher was a woman. Hmmm.
