“Man of the Spirit”

Isaiah 4: 4: “When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning ….” Isaiah, the source of so many Messianic prophecies, also mentions the Holy Spirit more than any other book of the Bible except 1 Corinthians - even more than any of the Gospels. When he mentions the spirit of burning, spirit of judgment, spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, etcetera, remember that these are different expressions of the one Spirit (Ephesians 4: 4), the Spirit of the Lord, in which we all, through Christ, have our access to the Father (Ephesians 2: 18). Obviously, the Holy Spirit is much more than just a New Testament phenomenon.
