ISAIAH SEES THE AGE TO COME #3

 Isaiah 65



Judgment and Final Salvation

65 The Lord says……

17  Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth,    and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.

18 Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation!
    And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness.
    Her people will be a source of joy.
19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem
    and delight in my people.
And the sound of weeping and crying
    will be heard in it no more.


[HAS THIS HAPPENED?  IS THERE NO CRYING AND WEEPING IN JERUSALEM? IS JERUSALEM AT PEACE? IS THERE NO ENEMY STILL TRYING TO DESTROY THE JEWS IN JERUSALEM? I THINK NOT - Keith Hunt]

20 “No longer will babies die when only a few days old.
    No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.
No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!


[IS THIS HAPPENING TODAY?  IF YOU THINK SO YOU BETTER GO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST; YOUR MIND IS WONKY - Keith Hunt]


    Only the cursed will die that young!


21 In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.
22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses
    and confiscate their vineyards.


[THERE IT IS—— NO ENEMY WILL DESTROY THOSE THEN LIVING IN THE PROMISED LAND - Keith Hunt]


For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.


[IS THIS HAPPENING TODAY IN THE PROMISED LAND? ARE PEOPLE ANYWHERE LIVING AS LONG AS TREES?  NOPE—- BUT THEY WILL DURING THE AGE TO COME - Keith Hunt]


23 They will not work in vain,
    and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.
For they are people blessed by the Lord,
    and their children, too, will be blessed.


24 I will answer them before they even call to me.
    While they are still talking about their needs,
    I will go ahead and answer their prayers!


[IS GOD DOING THIS ON SOME HUGE SCALE FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOLY LAND AND JERUSALEM? I THINK NOT! BUT THE DAY WILL COME WHEN GOD WILL DO SUCH A THING - Keith Hunt] 


25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.
    The lion will eat hay like a cow.
    But the snakes will eat dust.


[ISAIAH 11 ONCE MORE - Keith Hunt]


In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain.


[SURE AIN'T HAPPENING! JEWS IN THE HOLY LAND AND IN JERUSALEM ARE STILL BEING KILLED OR HURT BY ENEMIES - Keith Hunt]


    I, the Lord, have spoken!”


THIS  PROPHECY  IS  STILL  TO  COME  TO  PASS,  DURING  THE  MESSIAH'S  RETURN,  AND  DURING  THE  AGE  TO  COME.

ISAIAH SEES THE AGE TO COME #2

THIS  CHAPTER  IS  WITHIN  THE  CONTEXT  OF  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  RETURNING  TO  THE  HOLY  LAND,  AS  THE  MESSIAH  BRINGS  THEN  OUT  OF  CAPTIVITY——

 

Isaiah 12



Songs of Praise for Salvation


 12 In that day you will sing:


    I will praise you, O Lord!
You were angry with me, but not any more.
    Now you comfort me.


See, God has come to save me.
    I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The Lord God is my strength and my song;
    he has given me victory."


With joy you will drink deeply
    from the fountain of salvation!
In that wonderful day you will sing:


    Thank the Lord! Praise his name!
Tell the nations what he has done.
    Let them know how mighty he is!

Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things.
    Make known his praise around the world.
Let all the people of Jerusalem[a] shout his praise with joy!
    For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you.”


THIS  CHAPTER  REALLY  IS  A   CONTINUATION  OF  CHAPTER  11.  THE  ORIGINAL  MSS  HAVE  NO  CHAPTERS,  VERSES  ETC.





Hope for Restoration


35 


Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days.
    The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.
Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers
    and singing and joy!
The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon,
    as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon.
There the Lord will display his glory,
    the splendor of our God.


With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands,
    and encourage those who have weak knees.
Say to those with fearful hearts,
    “Be strong, and do not fear,

for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
    He is coming to save you.”

And when he comes, he will open the eyes of 

the blind
    and unplug the ears of the deaf.
The lame will leap like a deer,
    and those who cannot speak will sing for joy!


Springs will gush forth in the wilderness,
    and streams will water the wasteland.
The parched ground will become a pool,
    and springs of water will satisfy the thirsty land.
Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish
    where desert jackals once lived.

And a great road will go through that once deserted land.
    It will be named the Highway of Holiness.
Evil-minded people will never travel on it.
    It will be only for those who walk in God’s ways;
    fools will never walk there.

Lions will not lurk along its course,
    nor any other ferocious beasts.
There will be no other dangers.
    Only the redeemed will walk on it.


10 Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.
    They will enter Jerusalem[a] singing,
    crowned with everlasting joy.
Sorrow and mourning will disappear,
    and they will be filled with joy and gladness.


WE  HAVE  SEEN  AND  WILL  YET  SEE,  AT  THE  COMING  OF  THE  MESSIAH  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  WILL  BE  GATHERED  FROM  THE  NORTH  AND  SOUTH  OF  JERUSALEM,  AND  BROUGHT  BACK  TO  THE  HOLY  LAND.  THERE  THEY  WILL  BE  RESTORED,  THEIR  HEART  AND  SPIRIT,  WILL  BE  HEALED;  THEY  WILL  INDEED  BE  FILLED  WITH  JOY  AND  GLADNESS.

ISAIAH SPEAKS ABOUT THE AGE TO COME #1

IN  THE  AGE  TO  COME———


THE  PROPHET  ISAIAH  GAVE  A  NUMBER  OF  PASSAGES  ABOUT  THE  AGE  TO  COME,  THE  1,000  YEAR  AGE,  OF  THE  KINGDOM  OF  GOD  ON  EARTH,  RULED  BY  THE  MESSIAH— CHRIST  JESUS!


ISAIAH


CHAPTER TWO


     The word of the Lord concerning Judah and Jerusalem. It will
come to pass IN THE LAST DAYS - at the VERY END of this age, even
THE END, the mountain or Kingdom of God's house shall be
established on the top of the mountains or kingdoms of all
nations, and shall be exalted above the hills, all smaller nations
(Daniel 2:35 gives us a "mountain" is type of kingdom). And ALL
nations will flow unto it. Many people shall go and say, "Come
you, let us go up to the Kingdom of God, to the house of the Lord
God of Jacob; and He will TEACH us of HIS WAYS, and we shall WALK
in HIS PATHS; for out of Zion shall go forth the LAW, and the
WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem" (verses 1-3).

     What a time! What a wonderful day indeed, when FINALLY all
peoples from around the world will not only ACKNOWLEDGE the ways
of God are the right and correct ways to live but will DESIRE to
want to LEARN His LAW, and want to walk in His path of
righteousness. The truths of the Lord will go forth from Zion,
from Jerusalem, like the shinning light that a lighthouse sends
out from on top of the hill overlooking the expanse of the sea.
The city of Jerusalem will one day be that lighthouse, sending
forth the laws and commandments of God to all nations.
     The Lord God in the form of Jesus Christ shall be judge of
the world, and shall REBUKE, if needs be, the peoples of the
earth. And those people will beat their swords (their metal war
machines of all types) into implements for agricultural work,
their heavy machine guns into implements to fish by; NATIONS WILL 
NOT LIFT UP SWORD AGAINST NATIONS, NEITHER SHALL THEY 
LEARN WAR ANY MORE!!

     Among all this bad news the prophets must tell you, and your
people wherever you live in the major nations of this earth, they
also tell you the GOOD NEWS that beyond the GREAT TRIBULATION
that is to come, there will be a NEW AGE, a 1,000 year age of
the Kingdom of God on this earth, that will be like nothing the
earth has seen since the time before Adam and Eve were cast out
of the garden of Eden. We shall see as we proceed through the
prophet Isaiah, many more passages that give us the sure promises
from the Eternal, what that age to come will be like. The house
of Jacob (all 13 tribes of Israel) will come again, be brought
back from captivity, and will walk in the light of the Lord 
(verses 4-5).




A Branch from David’s Line

11 

Out of the stump of David’s family[a] will grow a shoot—
    yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
He will delight in obeying the Lord.
    He will not judge by appearance
    nor make a decision based on hearsay.
He will give justice to the poor
    and make fair decisions for the exploited.
The earth will shake at the force of his word,
    and one breath from his mouth will destroy the wicked.
He will wear righteousness like a belt
    and truth like an undergarment.


MOST  OF  CHRISTIAN  THEOLOGY  KNOW  AND  ADMIT  THIS  IS  TALKING  ABOUT  THE  MESSIAH  CHRIST  JESUS,  COMING  BACK  TO  EARTH  AND  IN  HIS  GLORIOUS  KINGDOM  ON  EARTH  FOR  THE  AGE  TO  COME,  THE  1,000  YEAR  AGE  OF  REVELATION  20 - Keith Hunt

In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;


    the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.


The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,
    and a little child will lead them all.


The cow will graze near the bear.
    The cub and the calf will lie down together.


    The lion will eat hay like a cow.


The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.


    Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.


Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,
    for as the waters fill the sea,
    so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord.


10 In that day the heir to David’s throne[b]
    will be a banner of salvation to all the world.
The nations will rally to him,
    and the land where he lives will be a glorious place.[c]


11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time
    to bring back the remnant of his people—
those who remain in Assyria [GERMANY - KH] and northern Egypt;
    in southern Egypt, Ethiopia,[d] and Elam;
    in Babylonia,[e] Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
12 He will raise a flag among the nations
    and assemble the exiles of Israel.

He will gather the scattered people of Judah
    from the ends of the earth.


[NOTE: AT THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH,  ISRAEL AND JUDAH ARE SEPERATE ENTITIES; THE JEWS ARE NOT ALL OF ISRAEL - Keith Hunt]

13 Then at last the jealousy between Israel[f] and Judah will end.
    They will not be rivals anymore.


14 They will join forces to swoop down on Philistia to the west.
    Together they will attack and plunder the nations to the east.
They will occupy the lands of Edom and Moab,
    and Ammon will obey them.


[ISRAEL AND JUDAH  WILL  HAVE  THE  LAND  PROMISED  TO  ABRAHAM,  ISSAC,  AND  JACOB - Keith Hunt]


15 The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.[g]
    He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,[h]
sending a mighty wind to divide it into seven streams
    so it can easily be crossed on foot.


[THOSE  OF  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  WHO  HAVE  BEEN  SCATTERED  IN  THE  EGYPT  AREA  WILL  RETURN;  A  SECOND  EXODUS - Keith Hunt]


16 He will make a highway for the remnant of his people,
    the remnant coming from Assyria,
just as he did for Israel long ago
    when they returned from Egypt.


THE  PEOPLE  OF  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  SCATTERED  IN  GERMANY  AND  EUROPE,  WILL  COME  MARCHING  BACK  TO  THE  HOLY  LAND;  A  HUGE  LINE  ON  THE  PATHWAY  TO  THE  LAND  PROMISED  TO  THEIR  FATHERS.

EVERYWHERE  THIS  IS  A  PROPHECY  FOR  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH,  TO  BE  FULFILLED  WHEN   THE  MESSIAH  RETURNS  TO  SET  UP  THE  KINGDOM  OF  GOD  ON  EARTH.


THE  PROPHETS  ARE  CLEAR;  WHEN  CHRIST  JESUS RETURNS,  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  ARE  IN  CAPTIVITY,  SCATTERED  AROUND  THE  EARTH;  IT  IS  THE  MESSIAH  WHO  DELIVERS  THEM  OUT  OF  THAT  CAPTIVITY;  TO  BRING  THEM  TO  THE  PROMISED  LAND.
