In the first sample for Isaiah chapter 18, the Lord makes a connection to the 18th Christian book and the 18th Jewish book, using the same verse. This connection is made by comparing people to a grape vine that is cut off and without grapes.

ISAIAH 18:5
…when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains…

OBADIAH 5
If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? If the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
10…thou shalt be cut off for ever.

JOB 15:32
…his branch shall not be green.
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath and above shall his branch be cut off.

The book of Obadiah only has 21 verses, in this sample alone TWO of them make a connection.


In the second sample for Isaiah chapter 18, the Lord makes a connection to the 18th Christian book with God controlling the bud, the herb, and the dew.

ISAIAH 18:4
…the Lord said unto me… I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore (before) the harvest when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off…and take away…

JOB 38:25
Who hath divided a water course for the overflowing waters…
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
