Isaiah 10

God Corrects His Own and Then Sets the Enemy Straight

God will use other nations to set His people on the right path. In Isaiah, God used Assyria to bring His people back into compliance, but then punished them for invading them; that’s one of the ways God works. It seems harsh, but when His people turn away from doing the right thing and treating His people fairly and respectfully, He will find ways to set them straight. Many times, God will use invading countries as tools to punish those who have turned their backs on Him and are going in their own direction without a care. We see this happen time and time again. It’s as though the enemy has hardened the people’s hearts so much that they can’t see the pattern. People mistreat Christians and think they can get away with it, but God doesn’t permit it. I’m starting to see that Christians mistreating other Christians is not a thing. What we are seeing is disguises; Christians in name only, not the truly committed. Remember Judas? He looked like a disciple, but there were signs the disciples missed, and Jesus saw right through it. He wasn’t counted among Jesus’s, because Jesus himself told us that he never lost one. 

Satan has infiltrated the Church, and it’s not until God chooses to reveal them that we will see the truth of who these invaders are. Our churches are like tiny countries within a country, so when God removes these invaders from your church, you will feel initially disheartened, but then a sense of relief, and getting back to being “The Church” becomes much easier. Here is another point: you will know once these people leave that they were a tool of Satan because they cannot let it go and move on with their lives; they have to keep involving themselves instead of letting go; they cannot stand to see that the church is better off without them. For those in churches that have experienced people leaving their church, be grateful that God intervened on your behalf and removed the people that were causing problems that you probably didn’t even know about, and those not truly adhering to God’s commands. Hopefully, God will one day allow them to see the truth of their involvement in the evil they committed, change their hearts, and return to the Church as true followers of Christ. 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Isaiah 10:27

Isaiah 9

Stay Humble

Isaiah predicts the coming of the Messiah, which gives them hope for better days to come. However, instead of humbling themselves, they became arrogant, saying that if they were cut down by war, they would build it back better than before. It almost reminds me of a campaign slogan, “Build Back Better,” which we’ve heard in recent years. 

The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Isaiah 9:10

Because of their haughtiness, spitting in the eye of God, He showed them who is boss by sending other nations, the Syrians and Philistines, to cut them down.

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. Isaiah 9:13-14

It’s a good idea for us to stay humble in the face of adversity. We tend to act like Judah and use our words to lash out, but it’s better for us if we sit back and watch as our enemies devour themselves and not lift a finger in retaliation, and allow God to war against our enemies on our behalf.

Isaiah 8

Fear God, Not People

God instructed Isaiah to name his son Mahershalalhashbaz as a prophecy and the title of the book he was to write. God wanted it plainly written so everyone could understand it. He did as God told him, and when his son was born to his wife, he called her a prophetess and named his son Mahershalalhashbaz, meaning "things will happen quickly." Part of the prophecy said they would be taken by Assyria quickly, before Mahershalalhashbaz could say "mom and dad," before he was one or two. 

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. Isaiah 8:4

Here is what is important for us to understand: God told Isaiah not to walk in the ways of the people and not to let fear grip him. Just as God tells us not to fear the enemy, in this passage of scripture, He instructs Isaiah to praise, worship, and honor God as a way to overcome our fear and to fear God rather than the enemy. 

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:13-15

The world is shaky right now, but rather than wringing our hands and worrying about what is happening, lift your face toward heaven, raise your hands, reach up to God, and submit your life to Him, because you are not the object of his recompense; it is the enemy that should fear, not you.

Isaiah 7

God told Isaiah to go to King Ahaz, an evil king, and take his son, Shearjashub, which means "the remnant shall return," with him to warn the king that Syria and Ephriam have taken evil counsel to go against Judah and wage war against it. He took his son because, in that time, children had prophetic names, and Shearjashub was a prophecy for Ahaz. This simplified story is only to give you a picture of what was happening during that time; what I want to spotlight is something Ahaz said, and many people today think the same way.

Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. Isaiah 7:10-12

What Ahaz said was a cop-out and would not ask God for help because he depended on the Assyrians and their gods and didn't want to be beholden to God and didn't want to believe in Him. Isaiah includes a strange but important prediction anyway, that seems out of place, that the Messiah would come from his line. However, things would not go well for them. 

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. Isaiah 7:13-15

The main point that I wanted to make is to ask God for anything. He told Ahaz to ask Him for a sign, but he refused. How many of us think we can handle things on our own and suffer because we failed to ask God to help us? Also, if we don't ask, and God still helps us because He loves us, we will think we handled things ourselves instead of giving God the glory for his intervention. We must talk to God; He's big enough to help all of us simultaneously, and it doesn't weary Him to hear from us and intercede on our behalf.

Isaiah 6

Isaiah saw a vision of the Lord:

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1

It was then that he realized that he was unclean. However, one of the seraphims flew over to him with a hot coal, touched his lips and make him clean. God needed someone to warn the people and asked who would go for him and Isaiah volunteered.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8

According to Matthew Henry (1672-1714), Isaiah was sent to warn the people of what would happen during the time of Jesus. The people of that time would close their eyes and plug their ears because they didn't want to understand the truth.Because of that, God would make their towns desolate and remove people from their houses to far away, and there would be a great forsaking. 

"… the foregoing predictions being so expressly applied in the New Testament to the J*ws in our Saviour's time, doubtless this points at the final destruction of that people by the Romans, in which it had a complete accomplishment, and the effects of it that people and that land remain under to this day." Matthew Henry. 

The Romans destroyed the Temple during that time. We are not waiting for another temple to be destroyed; it happened during the 70 AD tribulation. The people were removed, leaving the town desolate. Only a small number of people were left; a remnant of 10%, and they were a tithe to God. What we are seeing play out right now is a great deception; don't fall for it. Don't be fooled; open your eyes and look into other historical documents as proof. It's not wrong to look at the books that were left out of the canon like we've been led to believe. Keep your eyes on Jesus; he is our only hope.

Isaiah 5

Correction and redirection are things none of us want to experience, but they are tools God uses to help direct us to His narrow path. 

God did everything He could to cultivate a loving relationship with His people. He calls them a vineyard. Instead of being rewarded for His careful design and effort to grow and enjoy the sweetness of the vine, all he was given was sour grapes. 

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. Isaiah 5:2

What’s worse is that God has done this more than once. Isaiah’s prophecy was lived out when Jerusalem became a wasteland during the Babylonian captivity. However, the same thing happened again when the J*ws rejected Jesus and hung him on the cross. Not long after that, the Romans desecrated the Temple, destroyed it, and burned down the city after starving and torturing the inhabitants. However, the Romans did suffer for their part in this tragedy. If the people continue to ignore ancient history and the word of God from the Bible, it won’t go well with us either. 

Look at the United States and the deplorable actions of the majority of the people. If we think it can go on like this without any repercussions, we are delusional. We are sitting in a Christian nation that has allowed inhabitants to come in who are not like-minded when it comes to the things of God. If something doesn’t happen soon to remedy our situation, we can expect God to handle it himself, and it won’t go well for us because we are crucifying Jesus again with our words and actions. 

If you have wandered away and taken yourself out of the fold, repent and turn back to Jesus before it’s too late. Repentance means feeling sorry for your actions, asking God to forgive you, turning around, and going in a new and better direction, which is toward God.

Isaiah 4

Through all our trials and tribulations, we are comforted knowing that Jesus is covering all our mistakes with his holy blood. Not only does he cleanse us, but he protects us as though we were Israel in the wilderness with a cloud by day and fire by night. To continue the prophecy, at the beginning of Isaiah 4, he describes the desperation of the women after all the men are killed during the destruction of Jerusalem, but then it goes into the protection of God’s people who are left. It is a beautiful depiction of Christ as the branch.

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: Isaiah 4:2-3

We must spend some time in grateful adoration of our Savior; he is worthy of every ounce of thankfulness we have to offer. Spend time praising and worshipping him with all your heart, soul, and mind. A time may come when that’s all we have, but he is enough.

Isaiah 2 & 3: The Day of the Lord

You can stop following me and call me a heretic if you want. I wish I couldn't see this, but I can and must warn whoever will listen. I begged God to give me something else to write about today, but I couldn't shake it. We are not waiting for the millennial kingdom of Jesus, where we will rule and reign with him. We've been left behind and are living in the time of deception, where everything we've been taught is a lie. Now that my eyes have been opened to the truth, I can't read the Bible the same way. The ways of the world make more sense when you finally realize it. We are awaiting judgment day, Gog and Magog. 

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:7-8

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. I only wish I could go back to blissful ignorance and believe everything that I'm told. What is going on today is carefully scripted for our entertainment and to create a narrative that makes us think we are waiting for the rapture and for Jesus to come into his kingdom. We've all fallen for the lie, but after years of praying for the truth, my eyes are open. I can't say that I know the whole truth because I don't, and I doubt we ever will. The people in Jerusalem aren't "the chosen people" anymore. Here is what Isaiah's prophecy says:

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and aresoothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Isaiah 2:6

If you need further confirmation, read Isaiah 3. He points directly to what is happening today! I'm shook because I've wanted to deny this, but after spending countless days digging through the scriptures and ancient texts, I can't anymore. Everyone is lying to us. Do your own research and seek the truth while it may be found, get your head out of the sand, and turn to the Lord before it's too late. 

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause theeto err, and destroy the way of thy paths. Isaiah 3:12 

1. The gospel was preached throughout the world. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not movedaway from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Colossians 1:23 
2. The abomination of desolation happened when the Romans took their idols into the Temple. It's not about a pig. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Matthew 24:15
3. The antichrist was Nero. In ancient geomatria, which people would have understood at the time, Nero's name equals 666. 
4. A tribulation like never before happened. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21
5. Jerusalem was destroyed around 70 AD, proving, without a doubt, that generation didn't pass before those things came to pass. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Matthew 24:34
6. Rome was destroyed shortly after that. 
7. The timeline we are living in now is also a deception.
8. The Byzantine era was probably when Jesus reigned, but that was covered up and called the Dark Ages. 

There's more, but I wasn't trying to write a book today. All this information is out there, but it's up to us to look for it. 

May 19, 2026

Isaiah 1 could be written for us today. We live in a society that has hardened its heart toward God. God rebukes and corrects it, but rather than soften, it stands firm and becomes even harder. Because of that, God allows it to remain unbroken and live in its own destruction. Remember, there are people out there that you try to bring to the saving knowledge of Christ who cannot hear it. No matter what you do, even sharing your own testimony of how you’ve overcome adversity through softening your heart and surrendering to Jesus, they will point their rejection at you, even though it is not you they are rejecting, but Jesus. Some people won’t make it when Jesus returns to judge the people and beings of this earth. As a testimony to the lost, stand firm in your commitment to Jesus and don’t let anyone persuade you otherwise. The enemy is cunning and will devour you if you even make a slight turn toward him. Avoid sin because it will not go well for you. You may be forgiven, but you may still suffer the consequences. If God didn’t spare Adam and Eve from the consequences of their actions in Genesis, what makes you think you are better than they are? Yes, you are saved for eternity, but you may still pay the price here on earth if you involve yourself with worldly sins. 

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Isaiah 1:16

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 1:19-20

Knowledge of the Holy 

The Open Secret 

What can the Christian do to bring the Church back to its former glory? This journey begins by setting your mind toward getting to know God. It’s the easiest but also the hardest thing to do. It doesn’t come from only reading the scriptures; there is a knowledge that comes only from God through the Holy Spirit; it’s something ingrained in us. A.W. Tozer said, “To know God is at once the easiest and the most difficult thing in the world.” 

There are six things we must do that the scriptures point to over and over again:

1. Forsake our sin.
2. Commit our whole life to Jesus.
3. Open yourself up to the inflowing of the Holy Spirit
4. Completely detach ourselves in spirit from what unbelieving people set their hearts upon.
5. Practice the art of long and loving meditation upon the majesty of God.
6. As we come to know God more fully, we will want to help our fellow humans.

Jesus’s greatest command can summarize knowledge of the Holy:

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

Knowledge of the Holy 

The Sovereignty of God

"God's sovereignty is the attribute by which He rules His entire creation, and to be sovereign God must be all-knowing, all-powerful, and absolutely free." A.W. Tozer

God's power is not limited, and if it were, would He even be sovereign? The answer is no. Any limit put on Him would take His ruling power away. There are two views of this truth, and the debate ends up being between Calvinism andArminianism. Calvinism holds that God chooses who will become the elect, while Arminianism holds that you get to choose between good and evil, and because He knows what you will choose, He calls you the elect. Tozer gave a good explanation for this, and I'll summarize it: A cruise ship leaves New York bound for Liverpool. Its destination is set and unchangeable. However, the people onboard are free to eat, lounge, play, read, and do whatever pleases them, but they cannot change the port they are destined for. "Both freedom and sovereignty are present here, and they do not contradict each other." A.W. Tozer. 

He makes a good point, but after doing a quick study on the differences between Calvinism and Arminianism, it's still a toss-up for me. I tend to believe that God knows what we will choose because He is all-knowing, and we become the elect. It feels like we have a choice, but do we really? Does God limit His power and allow us a choice? I don't know, butdo you know who does? God. I'm on the ship destined for Heaven until the New Earth is created. God's sovereign will shall be done whether you choose good or evil. If we are sincerely free to choose, make sure you choose Jesus, because he is good. 

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psalms 115:3

Knowledge of the Holy 

The Holiness of God 

It wasn’t until Isaiah was in the presence of God that he realized how filthy he was.

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 6:5

In the verses before this one he describes what he saw in the throne room of God. 

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1

It is this very verse that I use to imagine being in God’s presence when I’m having trouble sleeping. We are so small compared to God that I imagine myself in one of the folds of His robe where it is fluffy and comforting. However, that’s my initial reaction because I wasn’t truly in God’s presence as Isaiah was. He realized how unholy he was when he met the Most Holy. It caused him to see himself in the true light, even though he was a prophet of God and was allowed to see Him. 

What does holy mean? Exactly the way it sounds, whole. God is complete which makes us incomplete. Will we ever be complete; not likely, but we have our Savior who makes us whole, and he is all we need to be allowed in the presence of God without being destroyed. 

Why is God wrathful? 

“God’s wrath is His utter intolerance of whatever degrades and destroys. He hates iniquity as a mother hates the polio that takes the life of her child.” A.W. Tozer

Doesn’t that make sense? Whatever degrades us keeps us from being holy, and because God loves us, He wants us to be whole. We are closer than ever to experiencing the destruction of evil; it may happen in our lifetime. Wait for it; it will surely come and not delay. 

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2:3
