The reading portion of the glasses improved his vision considerably, but whenever he looked through the top portion of the glasses he got dizzy. He explained to the congregation that the new glasses were causing problems, then said, "I hope you will excuse my continually removing my glasses. You see when I look down I can see fine, but when I look at you, it makes me sick."

The first part contains 39 chapters. The Old Testament contains 39 books. The second part of Isaiah contains 27 chapters. The New Testament contains 27 books. My Bible titles the first part of Isaiah as "Words of Judgment" and the second part as "Words of Comfort." Some view the Old Testament as emphasizing "Judgement" and the New Testament as emphasizing "Comfort." Submitted by Mary E. Krause and edited by Richard Wimer |
