Isaiah 28:11-13 KJV
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
God has chosen not to use the wise and the noble and the eloquent of this world to preach His Word, but those with stammering lips and another tongue. The way to impact our society for Christ is not through our personal skills in speaking, but in persistence with the truth.
Precept upon precept, precept upon precept
Line upon line, line upon line
Here a little and there a little
The fact that it repeats precept upon precept and line upon line indicates to me that persistence is the key. We just keep hammering away with the truth. Over and over; day in and day out.
God did not promise as we do this everyone will repent but that rather as we do this, those who do not repent will fall backward. They will be without excuse before the Lord. They will have heard the truth preached in the power of the Holy Ghost and not in the wisdom of man's Words and there will be no way to deny it.
It is the reason in the last day the Bible prophesies
Phil 2:10-11
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (KJV)
