Isaiah 40:23 … Homage to the Power of God (04/06/17)
“[The Power of God, that] brings princes to naught, and makes the rulers of the Earth as though nothing.” ~ unknown (Isaiah 40:23) This is a most important verse if for no other reason than it comes from “Isaiah II” – the author of chapters 40-55 of the Book of Isaiah; the Hebrew Bible […]
