1 Peter Chapter 3 – A Detailed, Study Bible Commentary Photo by  iam_os  on  Unsplash I open 1 Peter chapter 3, I feel this strange mix of calm heaviness—like when you smell old paper in a Bible that’s been read too many times and you can almost taste the dust on the page. It’s one of those chapters that feels gentle and sharp at the same time. Soft like wool on the skin, but with a little thorn hiding in it. And honestly, that’s fitting, because Peter wrote to people walking through fire yet told them to answer with peace. Kinda wild. And so here we go, verse by verse, thought by thought, with those ancient Greek words whispering through the text like the sound of a slow wind moving through cedar trees, and sometimes I’ll dip into Hebrew roots where the ideas overlap—because the Bible breathes in both languages like lungs inhale and exhale. “Wives, likewise, be subject to your own husbands...” Greek key word: hypotassō (ὑποτάσσω) — “to arrange under, to willingly ...

Isaiah Chapter 20 – A Living Prophecy Photo by  Alicia Quan  on  Unsplash Introduction Isaiah Chapter 20 is one of the most brief chapters within the book of Isaiah, comprising of as it were six verses. However, its brevity does not lessen its noteworthiness. This chapter conveys a sensational prophetic sign against Egypt and Cush (Ethiopia), including Isaiah himself in an unordinary and exceedingly typical act. It illustrates how God's messages can now and then be conveyed not as it were through words but too through obvious activities that challenge both the prophet and his gathering of people. To get it this chapter completely, we must see at the chronicled and geopolitical background of the 8th century BCE and the part of prediction in old Judah.  Text of Isaiah 20 (ESV) 1 Within the year that the commander-in-chief, who was sent by Sargon the ruler of Assyria, came to Ashdod and battled against it and captured it— 2 at that time the Master talked by Isaiah...
