So what is the new thing this verse is referring to? If you read the verse following that follows the verse below it is talking somewhat about places but it is really addressing certain people. From the tone of the verses that follow IS 43,19 it seems that the LORD is trying to reassure people that feel as though they were abandoned that they will be renewed and restored. By the example set forth in the verse it appears that it will take place in a new and unprecedented way that is unusual, and quite possibly miraculous. Here is the verse from the King James Bible Version.

Isaiah 43,19

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Here is a great New Testament scripture for a Bible study. What is the author saying in this Bible verse. It would be difficult to come to any conclusion other than the one that is apparent.

There are many today who read the Bible and take every word very literally; to you I would say that before you arrive at some conclusion as to what the words mean or why they are there take the time to see the word translations from Hebrew, Aramaic, and the numerous other languages the Bible was translated from. It is a real eye opener. You may not comprehend the exact message, words or verse being delivered but you will know with certainty that what you are reading does not match what was put on the page of the book. That is why there are so many different translations of the bible. Am I trying to discourage you from reading the Bible? No, but I am trying to relate that the Bible is a mystery.

The Book of Job is the oldest book of the Bible. Some estimates say a thousand ...
