Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction Isaiah covers about 46 years (approximately 778 to sometime after 732 BCE). It prophecies the fall of ten-tribe Israel (Israel falls to Assyria in 740 BCE) and two-tribe Judah (Jerusalem falls to Babylon in 607 BCE). Why did they fall? Because of the innocent blood that flowed in too many streets and the apostasy that fouled too many hearts. But it also foretells the repatriation of Jerusalem with faithful servants of Jehovah (which takes place in 537 BCE), who will once again fill the streets with voices ringing with joy, reinforcing that Isaiah's name means "Salvation of Jehovah." Prophecies speak too of days in the distant future, in the last days of our system of things (Isaiah 2:2-4), when witnesses of Jehovah fill every corner of earth with their rejoicing in the saving power of their God.

Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction Completed in 580 BCE, the book of Jeremiah covers the prophet's danger-filled 67-year ministry (647 to 580 BCE); it also covers catastrophic Jewish history from 607 to 580 BCE. As prophesied, the temple, used for three centuries, would burn to the ground; Jerusalem and the land of Judah would lie desolate, like a wasteland; people of the land would either end up dead or repopulated in idol-infested Babylon. Why? Jehovah's judgment against the apostate ways of his chosen people would bring Babylonians to Jerusalem, who would, in 607 BCE, annihilate that great city. Inhabitants would find no solace in its famous history as a centre of true worship. An excerpt Chapter 4 See your thoughts, A fountain of frogs, And your feelings, A vat of wine in whichYou bath, And your motives, Of your lungs, Your belly, Your lust, See your hair, Clipped, so you no longerLook like yourself, Rather, You resemble a Moabite, Or perhaps an Edomite, And your heart-Did foreskin re-attachItself? Why do you wanderIn the wilderness, Where lizards eye youAnd blink? Even the bull returnsTo its manger, Have you become a spectacleThat you seek to ignore?

Seven poems in this collection appeared under the covering title of At the Home (published by Poetry Magazine [USA], 2000, and by LukivPress [Canada], 2003). Revised Edition: LukivPress (Canada), 2022. Introduction Written over 3000 years ago, Ecclesiastes explores man's self-indulgent pursuit of pleasure and material gain, both fleeting, and in terms of spiritual beauty, futile. But the book also explores his unselfish pursuit of spiritual riches such as Godly wisdom and knowledge and obedience, none of which, in a spiritual sense, are futile. Themes therein, especially in view of how pleasure and material gain can leave with the tide, encourage readers to consider the following question: What truly endures? A man's breath? No. People die. A woman's beauty? No. People get old, their skin wrinkles, their hair grows thin and grey. Morning vapours upon a pasture? Certainly not. The sun dries up mists upon the field. What truly endures, then? Consider the inspired words of Solomon, writer of Ecclesiastes: "Fear the true God and keep his commandments" (12:13). They remind us that loyalty to God, for the faithful who love Godly wisdom, knowledge and obedience, lasts, or endures, forever (Jehovah's never-ending loyalty to his servants implied).
