Today is October 2nd. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian and it is great to be

here with you as we greet a brand new week. I guess a while we are greeting a brand new

month so all things are new here. Around the global campfire. So it's an exciting time

as we reset and launch into this month and continue our journey forward and our forward

journey will lead us back into the book of Isaiah for the last time actually this year.

We will conclude the book of Isaiah today and this week we will read from the new international

version. So here we go, Isaiah chapter 66.

like one who breaks a dog's neck. Whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents

pigs blood and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have

chosen their own ways and they delight in their abominations. So I also will choose harsh

treatment for them and will bring on them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered.

When I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your own people who hate you and

exclude you because of my name have said, let the Lord be glorified that we may see your joy

and they will be put to shame. Hear that uproar from the city. Hear that noise from the temple.

It is the sound of the Lord repaying his enemies all they deserve. Before she goes into

labor, she gives birth. Before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son who is ever heard
