ISAIAH FOR TOMORROW #9
27 IN THAT DAY
NOTICE IT! WE ARE STILL IN THE SAME PROPHETIC TIME AS WE HAVE BEEN IN PAST CHAPTERS.
IT IS UNMISTAKEABLE. GOD COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT SIMPLER. BUT PEOPLE READ RIGHT OVER IT LIKE IT'S NOT THERE. IT IS CONTEXT, CONTEXT, AND MORE CONTEXT!
SO IN THAT DAY, IN THAT TIME FRAME, IN THAT SAME CONTEXT———
the Lord will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan,[a] the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea.
A TYPE OF THE GREAT DRAGON, THAT OLD SERPENT, SATAN THE DEVIL. THE TIME HAS COME IN HISTORY TO CHAIN UP SATAN IN THE PIT, TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS NO MORE DURING THE AGE TO COME [REVELATION 20].
2 “In that day,
sing about the fruitful vineyard.
3 I, the Lord, will watch over it,
watering it carefully.
Day and night I will watch so no one can harm it.
4 My anger will be gone.
If I find briers and thorns growing,
I will attack them;
I will burn them up—
5 unless they turn to me for help.
Let them make peace with me;
yes, let them make peace with me.”
REPENTANCE IS THERE FOR ALL TO TAKE. ISRAEL AND JUDAH NOW ONE PEOPLE, A FRUITFUL VINE ONCE MORE. GOD'S WRATH IS GONE; HE WILL TENDERLY KEEP AND GROOM HIS PEOPLE OF JACOB/ISRAEL [THE 12 TRIBES] IF SIN SHOULD COME AMONG THEM, IT WILL BE ROOTED OUT, BURNED UP, UNLESS THEY TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE. YES THEY STILL CAN MAKE PEACE WITH THE ETERNAL GOD.
6 The time is coming when Jacob’s descendants will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with fruit!
THIS IS IN THE TIME OF THAT DAY; THE CONTEXT WE HAVE BEEN IN FOR CHAPTERS. JACOB'S DESCENDANTS AT THE END TIME WILL BE IN DESOLATION!
EVERYWHERE IN OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECY, WHEN JESUS THE MESSIAH RETURNS, THE PEOPLE OF JACOB [ALL 12 TRIBES] WILL BE IN DESOLATION CAPTIVITY TO THEIR LOVER ENEMIES, THE LAST EUROPEAN 7TH RESURRECTION OF THE BABYLON/HOLY ROME EMPIRE!
BUT JESUS WILL BRING THEM OUT OF THAT CAPTIVITY. THEY WILL RETURN TO THE HOLY LAND AND BLOSSOM AND BUD AND FILL THE WHOLE EARTH WITH SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL FRUIT.
THEY WILL FINALLY BE WHAT THEY WERE CHOSEN BY THE LORD TO BE— DEUTERONOMY 4— A LIGHT OF GOD'S TRUTH AND LAWS, AND ABUNDANT LIVING, SO OTHER NATIONS WOULD WANT TO KNOW THE TRUE GOD.
7 Has the Lord struck Israel
as he struck her enemies?
Has he punished her
as he punished them?
NO, OTHER NATIONS WILL BE PUNISHED MORE THAN ISRAEL.
8 No, but he exiled Israel to call her to account.
She was exiled from her land
as though blown away in a storm from the east.
9 The Lord did this to purge Israel’s[b] wickedness,
to take away all her sin.
THE PUNISHMENT ON ISRAEL [ALL 12 TRIBES] AT THE END TIME WAS FOR HER SINS, SHE IS REFUSING TO REPENT FROM— IT IS TO PURGE HER FROM SINS AND WICKEDNESS.
As a result, all the pagan altars will be crushed to dust.
No Asherah pole or pagan shrine will be left standing.
10 The fortified towns will be silent and empty,
the houses abandoned, the streets overgrown with weeds.
Calves will graze there,
chewing on twigs and branches.
11 The people are like the dead branches of a tree,
broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots.
ISRAEL AT THE END TIMES WILL BE PURGED OF FALSE PAGAN RELIGION; IT SEEMS THAT A HEAVY HAND IS THE ONLY WAY SHE WILL REPENT.
Israel is a foolish and stupid nation,
for its people have turned away from God.
Therefore, the one who made them
will show them no pity or mercy.
LOOK AT THE NATIONS OF NORTH-WEST EUROPE, THE CELTIC-ANGLO-SAXON BRITISH COMMONWEALTH, AND THE USA. I WAS RAISED IN THE 1942 TO 1959 FINISHING HIGH-SCHOOL. GOD AND THE BIBLE SINCE THEN HAS BEEN THROWN OUT THE WINDOW; EVOLUTION HAS TAKEN OVER THE SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES; WE ARE BECOMING MORE SECULAR EVERY MONTH AND YEAR. AND THE JEWS ARE MAINLY SECULAR, THOSE THAT ARE RELIGIOUS STILL WILL NOT ACCEPT JESUS AS THE MESSIAH.
12 Yet the time will come when the Lord will gather them together like handpicked grain. One by one he will gather them—from the Euphrates River[c] in the east to the Brook of Egypt in the west.13
A SECOND EXODUS IS COMING RIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE RETURNING OF CHRIST JESUS THE MESSIAH, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN CHAPTER 11.
In that day the great trumpet will sound.
YES THE 7TH AND LAST TRUMPET OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION CHAPTER 11. WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL COME TO EARTH.
Many who were dying in exile in Assyria and Egypt will return to Jerusalem to worship the Lord on his holy mountain.
THOSE ISRAELITES IN GERMANY AND EGYPT WILL RETURN AND WORSHIP GOD IN JERUSALEM, IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, AS WE ALSO SAW IN CHAPTER 11. GOD REPEATS AND REPEATS OVER AND OVER AGAIN HIS LAST DAYS PROPHESIES, IN ALL HIS OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETIC BOOKS. THE CONTEXT IS AS CLEAR AS THE SUN IN A CLOUDLESS DAY, BUT MOST READ RIGHT OVER IT ALL.
ISRAEL AND JUDAH WILL BE PUNISHED, YES, BUT THOSE ALIVE WILL RETURN TO JERUSALEM TO WORSHIP GOD ON HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN.

ISAIAH FOR TOMORROW #8
26 In that day, everyone in the land of Judah will sing this song:
Our city is strong!
We are surrounded by the walls of God’s salvation.
2 Open the gates to all who are righteous;
allow the faithful to enter.
3 You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
4 Trust in the Lord always,
for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
5 He humbles the proud
and brings down the arrogant city.
He brings it down to the dust.
6 The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot,
and the needy walk all over it.
7 But for those who are righteous,
the way is not steep and rough.
You are a God who does what is right,
and you smooth out the path ahead of them.
8 Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
9 In the night I search for you;
in the morning[a] I earnestly seek you.
For only when you come to judge the earth
will people learn what is right.
10 Your kindness to the wicked [In being patient with them -Keith Hunt]
does not make them do good.
Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong
and take no notice of the Lord’s majesty.
11 O Lord, they pay no attention to your upraised fist.
Show them your eagerness to defend your people.
Then they will be ashamed.
Let your fire consume your enemies.
GOD WILL DELIVER ISRAEL AND JUDAH FROM THEIR ENEMIES WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES; THIS IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THE BOOKS OF THE PROPHETS; I REFER YOU ONCE MORE TO THE ELEVENTH CHAPTER.
12 Lord, you will grant us peace;
all we have accomplished is really from you.
13 O Lord our God, others have ruled us,
but you alone are the one we worship.
14 Those we served before are dead and gone.
Their departed spirits will never return!
You attacked them and destroyed them,
and they are long forgotten.
THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH HAVE BEEN DEFEATED; THEY ARE DEAD. YOU HAVE ATTACKED THEM AND DESTROYED THEM. THE MESSIAH DEFEATS THEM AT ARMAGEDDON; THEIR INWARD SPIRITS [MAN DOES HAVE A SPIRIT; I'VE EXPLAINED IT IN ANOTHER STUDY ON MY WEBSITE]; THEY ARE DESTROYED AND FORGOTTEN.
15 O Lord, you have made our nation great;
yes, you have made us great.
You have extended our borders,
and we give you the glory!
THIS LOOKS TO THE DAY THAT ALL ISRAEL WILL BE A GREAT SINGLE NATION IN THE AGE TO COME; AND THE HOLY LAND WILL BE AS PROMISED TO ABRAHAM, HUGE IS SIZE COMPARED TO IT TODAY.
16 Lord, in distress we searched for you.
We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.
17 Just as a pregnant woman
writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
18 We, too, writhe in agony,
but nothing comes of our suffering.
We have not given salvation to the earth,
nor brought life into the world.
AT THE TIME OF THE END OF THIS AGE, WHEN ISRAEL AND JUDAH ARE IN PAINFUL DISTRESS, AS A WOMAN GIVING BIRTH ARE OFTEN IN PAIN; WE SHALL WRITHE IN AGONY FOR A WHILE, THOUGH AT THAT TIME WE WILL SEE NO GOOD OUTCOME. WE THEN WILL BRING NO SALVATION TO THE WORD.
19 But those who die in the Lord will live;
their bodies will rise again!
Those who sleep in the earth
will rise up and sing for joy!
For your life-giving light will fall like dew
on your people in the place of the dead!
HERE IS ONE SECTION OF OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE, THAT TEACHES THE SAINTS OF GOD WILL BE RESURRECTED. AND DEATH IS A SLEEP, AS JESUS IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN ALSO TALKED ABOUT DEATH AS A SLEEP. YES I KNOW THE TEACHING THAT SAINTS DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN WITH NO BODY, BUT RECEIVE ONE WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES. THAT IS THE DAFTEST, SILLIEST, THE DUMBEST IDEA FROM PLANET PLUTO. WHAT PEOPLE WILL COME UP WITH TO GET TO HEAVEN, AND JESUS SAID IN JOHN 3:13 NO PERSON HAS GONE TO HEAVEN, BUT HE ALONE. YET THESE CRAZY THEOLOGICAL TEACHERS THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THAN JESUS. GIVER ME A BREAK!
TIME OF TROUBLE - WRATH OF GOD - RESURRECTION
20 Go home, my people,
and lock your doors!
Hide yourselves for a little while
until the Lord’s anger has passed.
AGAIN THE TIME OF GOD'S WRATH, THE DAY OF THE LORD.
21 Look! The Lord is coming from heaven
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed.
They will be brought out for all to see.
THE GREAT FIRST RESURRECTION [MATTHEW 24; 1 CORINTHIANS 15; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18; REVELATION 20]
ISAIAH FOR TO TOMORROW # 7
New Living Translation - Isaiah 25
25 O Lord, I will honor and praise your name,
for you are my God.
You do such wonderful things!
You planned them long ago,
and now you have accomplished them.
2 You turn mighty cities into heaps of ruins.
Cities with strong walls are turned to rubble.
Beautiful palaces in distant lands disappear
and will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore, strong nations will declare your glory;
ruthless nations will fear you.
4 But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord,
a tower of refuge to the needy in distress.
You are a refuge from the storm
and a shelter from the heat.
For the oppressive acts of ruthless people
are like a storm beating against a wall,
5 or like the relentless heat of the desert.
But you silence the roar of foreign nations.
As the shade of a cloud cools relentless heat,
so the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled.
6 In Jerusalem,[a] the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will spread a wonderful feast
for all the people of the world.
It will be a delicious banquet
with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat.
7 There he will remove the cloud of gloom,
the shadow of death that hangs over the earth.
8 He will swallow up death forever!
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears.
He will remove forever all insults and mockery
against his land and people.
The Lord has spoken!
9 In that day the people will proclaim,
“This is our God!
We trusted in him, and he saved us!
This is the Lord, in whom we trusted.
Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!”
10 For the Lord’s hand of blessing will rest on Jerusalem.
JERUSALEM IS NOT YET REJOICING IN THE SALVATION OF GOD; THEY STILL REJECT JESUS AS THE MESSIAH. WHEN HE COMES AGAIN THEY WILL AS MANY OTHER PROPHETS FORETELL SAY, "THIS IS OUR GOD."
THE LAST CHAPTERS OF ZECHARIAH GIVE IT ALL IN SOME DETAIL.
But Moab [Jordan— KH] will be crushed.
It will be like straw trampled down and left to rot.
11 God will push down Moab’s people
as a swimmer pushes down water with his hands.
He will end their pride
and all their evil works.
12 The high walls of Moab will be demolished.
They will be brought down to the ground,
down into the dust.
ALL THAT GOD HAS PLANED FROM LONG AGO WILL COME TO PASS.
THIS IS A REJOICING AT THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH AND THE SALVATION HE BRINGS.
THERE WILL BE GREAT FEASTING SHORTLY AFTER THE MESSIAH JESUS DEFEATS THE ENEMY AT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON [REVELATION 16].
IT IS ALSO THE PROPHECY AGAINST MOAB— THE JORDAN PEOPLE OF TODAY. READ AGAIN CHAPTER 11 AND VERSE 10-14. READ THE CONTEXT BEFORE AND AFTER. IT IS THE TIME THE MESSIAH REGATHERS ISRAEL AND JUDAH. THEY WILL RETURN TO THE HOLY LAND AND INFLICT DEFEAT UPON NATIONS IN THE VICINITY OF WHAT IS NOW THE HOLY LAND.
