Tongues In Isaiah

Isaiah 28 & 29 are clearly Messianic since multiple verses are quoted in the New Testament. What is less understood is how the verses are used in I Corinthians. Several of the verses are used by Paul to give us guidance.

The verse that is not quoted in the New Testament, but it does match the theme and it follows verses that are in I Corinthians.

Isa 29:18  And in thatH1931 dayH3117 shall the deafH2795 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the book,H5612 and the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall seeH7200 out of obscurity,H4480 H652 and out of darkness.H4480

This matches the theme of I Corinthians 13 where obscurity is replaced with a clearer vision. The Old Testament is revealed and Christ is clearly revealed through New Testament revelation.

1Co 13:12  ForG1063 nowG737 we seeG991 throughG1223 a glass,G2072 darkly;G1722 G135 butG1161 thenG5119 faceG4383 toG4314 face:G4383 nowG737 I knowG1097 inG1537 part;G3313 butG1161 thenG5119 shall I knowG1921 even asG2531 alsoG2532 I am known.G1921

Though the wording isn't exact it does match closely, and this obscurity is made clear before the second coming of Christ. You can read the two chapters in Isaiah and match verse in Matthew 15, I Corinthians 1 and I Corinthians 14.

1Co 1:19  ForG1063 it is written,G1125 I will destroyG622 theG3588 wisdomG4678 of theG3588 wise,G4680 andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 theG3588 understandingG4907 of theG3588 prudent.G4908

1Co 14:21  InG1722 theG3588 lawG3551 it is written,G1125 WithG1722 men of other tonguesG2084 andG2532 other(G1722) G2087 lipsG5491 will I speakG2980 unto thisG5129 people;G2992 andG2532 yet for all thatG3779 will they notG3761 hearG1522 me,G3450 saithG3004 the Lord.G2962

If you study Isaiah 28 & 29 you see the New Testament unfolding.
