"I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;"

Imagine life as a horizontal line.  Life begins at the beginning of the horizontal line. At points along the way, God reaches down.  It is up to the individual to reach back or not. Whenever an unsaved person reaches back and accepts Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, they begin to ascend on a vertical line up to God and eternal life.  If the unsaved person does not reach up and accept Jesus, they continue on the horizontal line to the end of it and into eternal death.

Isa 65:12 

Therefore I will number you to the sword; and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because I called and you did not answer; for I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen."

“All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people…”

Another verse describing our ever patient God who offers us chance, after chance, after chance! He is not willing that any should perish.

Matt 18:14
In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.

God makes it perfectly clear in Isaiah 65 how He feels about those “who walk in ways not good”.

"As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes..."

 God continually reminds us that no matter how many people walk in ways not good in a world that is not good, there will be a remnant who walk in ways that are good.  This is the juice still found in a cluster of grapes. 

Again in today’s reading in Isaiah 65:17-25 is another incredible description of eternity and more descriptions of life in the millennium. 

Isaiah 66 spells out the rewards for the believers and wrath of God for the unbelievers.

We say farewell to Isaiah, a true prophet of God. Some parting thoughts by the commentator of the Chronological Bible that we would like to bring out. “God’s message will sometimes be hidden from the common people by the very ones who ought to bring understanding – the religious leaders”.

Jesus had something to say about the religious leaders of His day.
Matt 23:13
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

While we may look to religious leaders for understanding, ultimately, we need to look to the Holy Spirit.
