Isaiah 22 and Luke 10
The common theme between Isaiah 22 and Luke 10 is the unwillingness or willingness of God’s people to seek him particularly in repentance with fasting sackcloth and prayer. This theme is amplified as well in the description of the high priest building a glorious place for himself rather than serving God and his people. These 2 passages describe the insular state of people that have become comfortable in their own life rather than the life of God as for example shown in Luke 10 with the account of the good Samaritan that had compassion on the victim that was attacked by thieves. Both passages emphasize the importance of fasting and prayer with sackcloth and how that because Israel refused to fast and pray and rather feasted in the face of judgment their iniquity would not be purged until they died. There is a sin unto death as described in the New Testament.
Isa 22:12-14 (KJV)
12And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:13And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.14And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Isa 22:15-19 (KJV)
15Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,16What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?17Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.18He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.19And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
Isa 22:20-24 (KJV)
20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:21And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.23And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.24And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

Esther 4, Isaiah 18 and 1st John 2
Isa 18:4-6 (KJV)
4For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.5For afore the harvest, 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.6They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Isa 18:7 (KJV)
7In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
1John 2:24-29 (KJV)
24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Esth 4:1-4 (KJV)
1When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;2And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.3And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.4So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

Philippians 2 and Psalms 22
both chapters are about God’s great condescension bring us redemption.
Let us celebrate his great condescension bringing us redemption verified in his resurrection and ascension for our everlasting corruption prevention to be with God’s everlasting convention for ever in creative invention
Phil 2:5-11 (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Phil 2:29-30 (KJV)
29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:30Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
Ps 22:8-21 (KJV)
8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.21Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Proverbs 28 and Acts 1 and Ezra 3
Prov 28:4 (KJV)
4They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Prov 28:8 (KJV)
8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
Prov 28:13 (KJV)
13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Acts 1:3-11 (KJV)
3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Job 14, Luke 6 and James 5
Job 14:7-9 (KJV)
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Job 14:12-14 (KJV)
12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.13O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!14If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Jas 5:11 (KJV)
11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Jas 5:16-18 (KJV)
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Luke 6:46-49 (KJV)
46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
