The prophecy of Isaiah is a trinitarian preview of the working of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Looking forward to the ministry of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit inspired prophet Isaiah to prophecy: "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him" - Is. 11:1-5 - The Holy Spirit inspired Jesus with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, faithfulness, piety, fear of the Lord. Thus, we come full cycle to the New Testament where Jesus fulfilled this prophecy Himself. - Is. 61:1-2; Luke 4:18-19 - No clearer reflection of the intimate inter-working of the triune family and the Spirit's powerful role can be found in the Old Testament than in this prophecy. It ties God's grace in the Old and New Testament, together in remarkable harmony.

But to sin against the Holy Spirit is often referred to as the "unpardonable sin" because in the words of Jesus, "He who blasphemes[speaks evil] against the Holy Spirit never have forgiveness and is subject to eternal condemnation.

'I tell you solemnly, all men sins will be forgiven and all their blasphemies; but let anyone blaspheme against the Holy Spirit he will never have forgiveness: he is guilty of eternal sin'. This was because they were saying, 'An unclean spirit is in him'. - Mark 3:28-30 -

The context of Jesus' words about the sin against the Holy Spirit provides a clue to its nature. When a demon possessed man came to Jesus, he was healed. The multitudes were amazed. But the Scribes and Pharisees said He was healing through Satan's power. Jesus had cast out the demons by the power of the Holy Spirit; His enemies claimed He cast them out by the power of the devil. - Matt. 12:22-24 -

Such slander of the Holy Spirit, Jesus implied, revealed a spiritual blindness, a warping and perversion of the mortal nature that puts one beyond hope of repentance and forgiveness. Those who call the Holy Spirit, Satan, reveal a spiritual cancer so advanced that they are beyond any hope of healing and forgiveness.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
