Another great verse today for the "truth tellers".
Isaiah 51:7
"Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have the law in your hearts; Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults.
Isaiah 51:12-16 tells us that we should not fear mortal men.  They are like grass, we should trust in the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth.  He says to us, "I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand."

Isaiah 51:17-23 contains a symbol of sins using the cup of wrath as an illustration of God's justice.  But, there is also an illustration of God removing the cup that made you stagger, a wonderful illustration of the forgiveness of sin.

Isa 52:11
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
What an admonition to stay pure, especially spiritual leaders. 

In reading Isaiah 52:13-15 and Isaiah 53, it is so obvious this prophecy of Jesus. There is so much to write about here but we will focus on just one verse in Isaiah 53.
Isa 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Iniquity means Jesus took everything about us that wasn’t perfect, not just our big sins. That was everything short of perfection. It was everything that every person did or ever will do.  
He loves us that much!

Rom 3:23-24
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Praise God we are justified freely because of that redemption!  
He loves us that much!

In the last days there will be a tremendous earthquake that will shake the earth when the seventh angel pours out his bowl.
Rev 16:17-18
The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
 In the midst of this severe earthquake, the flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder we have this incredible promise from God.
Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
He loves us that much!
