 INTERMISSION 🙞 Walk through of the Book of Isaiah PART 2 of the Macro walk through: a look at the chiastic structure and Melodic line  Here is the second half of the study. This is where we get the repeated subject matter through the chiastic structure. You can check out the intro of my post Break down of book of psalms if you want to understand my note taking process a little better. And as always, all literary elements and figures of speech are put in bold . But there will not be many noted as my purpose in this walk-through is to make big picture observations and make connections between the chapters through cotext and context as well as with NT passages. I advise you to read the chapters first or while going through these notes. I will at another time go through verse by verse of each chapter like I did in my first Isaiah post and mark down as many figures of speech at work that I can find. We will be looking at chapters 28-40 which is D' through B' in this part. There...

 INTERMISSION 🙞 Walk through of the Book of Isaiah PART 1 of the Macro walk through: a  look at the chiastic structure and melodic line  I'm getting caught up in the micro and it's taking me too long to work through the individual chapters. So I'm stepping back to look at the macro so I have a blueprint and I can fill in the details later.  Truley though I would be lost without the work of individuals like Bullinger and Lowthe. Their books have laid the ground work with good study and exegesis that have really taught and are training me. The book of Isaiah has never made more sense to me. All the sequences and puzzle pieces are really standing out.  The literary intelligence of the book of Isaiah is mad af. I'm sure I don't have everything figured out or have things wrong but I have to start building my hypothesis.

EXEGESIS OF PSALM 124:3-5  A LOOK AT HEBRAIC ALLEGORY & THE IMAGERY OF THE FLOODS   I've been sitting on posting this blog post for a while now. I hadn't been able to figure out what was leaving me dissatisfied with it. Some of these posts will require more and others less. These studies are so much faster when I do them in my head. It takes so much extra time and work to communicate and explain the findings. Lol, after every post I always feel exhausted and like I don't wanna do it anymore. But even though I feel like I haven't expressed everything well enough I need to just post this. I will post this and come back and edit it later. I want to complete this psalm and psalm 122 (thus completing the first grouping psalms 120-124) by the end of this year.  This post feels like it is simple and my thesis not so far-fetched. Sometimes I felt that I am stretching this thesis to make it say something it is not. However, as I have continued to explain and write it out, I ...
