People are NOT High and Lifted Up
00:00:00.000 | Another one that I think of is in Isaiah, where we are familiar with Isaiah 6, that
00:00:05.720 | the Lord is on the throne, high and lifted up. And throughout Isaiah, that pairing of words is used.
00:00:13.420 | But it is used in a way to show that people are not high and lifted up. They have eyes that are
00:00:20.700 | high and lifted up, but God will lower them. They have a heart that is high and lifted up,
00:00:25.320 | but God will humble them. In Isaiah, there's only one who is high and lifted up. And that's God on
00:00:32.740 | the throne, and then the servant, Isaiah 52. Yeah. And so having the consistency of the language of
00:00:40.280 | high and lifted up throughout Isaiah demonstrates that in the end, though people want to be high
00:00:47.160 | and lifted up, there is only one, and that is God and His Son. So those are the kinds of things we
00:00:52.480 | try to bring out with consistency.
