Summary

Fr. Mike reflects on how Isaiah's prophecies in chapters 49-50 point to the immediate reality of God's promise of redemption for Israel, as well as to the distant reality of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In our reading of Ezekiel, we also learn how the glory of God departed from the temple, and how God's presence is often hidden from us as well. Today's readings are Isaiah 49-50, Ezekiel 10-11, and Proverbs 12:17-20.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 214. And I have to say, I know I say this all the time, but like honestly, it is an incredible
0:26.5	gift to be able to be part of this community of people who are journeying. Whether day 214 for you
0:32.2	is the 214th day of this particular year or whether it's your day 214. That doesn't matter. The fact is that we
0:40.2	still, you know, time and space, when it comes to God, time and space kind of get transcended. And
0:45.0	again, if you're here, still here, day 214, I just want to, I want to praise God on your behalf
0:52.4	and I want to thank you so much. Anyways, I got overwhelmed when I was preparing for today and just thinking about you listening
0:59.3	and praying together.
1:01.6	So it's day 214.
1:03.2	We're reading Isaiah 49 and 50.
1:05.1	Also, maybe I'm partly just excited because of the readings today.
1:08.9	And Ezekiel 10 and 11, Proverbs 12, verses 17 through 20. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year.

1:33.3	but you know all of that because, as I said, it is day 214. Again, I am so stoked, jacked, psyched, whatever the word is pumped to be able to enter into Isaiah 49 and 50 with you.
1:40.7	This is, we've already had the servant song and one of the servant songs. There's
1:45.8	a number of them here in the book of the prophet Isaiah, but we get another one today. And I just,
1:52.7	what a gift as well as Ezekiel chapter 10 and 11. Remember, Ezekiel beginning with chapter
1:58.0	eight was seeing the glory of God in the temple. He's been transported to Jerusalem in spirit, and he's going to see the glory of God leave the temple.
2:07.1	And tragic, tragic.
2:09.0	Isaiah 49 and 50, Ezekiel 10 and 11, Proverbs chapter 12, verses 17 through 20.
2:15.6	The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 49, the servant's mission.
2:20.6	Listen to me, O islands, and pay attention you peoples from afar.
