Isaiah 29

Though it may be a stretch, not in my mind, but in the eyes of known interpreters of scripture, Isaiah 29 seems to be a look into what we may be experiencing this time in history. The truth is hidden, and people think we are in a timeline that we are not in. The book is sealed; people want to know, but no one can read it. The surrounding of the camp of the saints comes after the millennial reign of Christ. God will use an evil army to besiege Ariel, which means Lion, also known as Jerusalem, but those who don’t know the Lord, strangers, will disappear like the dust and chaff. Remember, God uses evil to bring about the good. 

Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Isaiah 29:5

The following verses lead me to believe that this portion of scripture points to what will happen right before judgment. 

Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. Isaiah 29:6-7

What is happening now?

1. There will be, and right now is, a deep sleep over prophets and seers.
2. The truth is being hidden. There is a woe to those who hide their counsel. We know the truth is being hidden right now, and we are living in an illusion.

What happens next?

1. The deaf will hear, and the blind will see - the truth will no longer be hidden.
2. The meek shall increase their joy.
3. The terrible one is brought to nothing.
4. The children shall not be ashamed.
5. God’s name will be sanctified.
6. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. Isaiah 29:24

What a privilege it is to live and see the prophecy come to fruition.

Isaiah 28

There are some repeated verses in Isaiah 28 that I will focus on today, about how we learn to understand God’s word. If you read my post regularly, you will notice that I’ve repeated the idea that you cannot simply learn everything about God all at once. It takes time, much like teaching a child: you give them small amounts of information their undeveloped brain can comprehend, then increase their training as they mature. If you’ve noticed, when you read your Bible for the first time, you learn the basic stories, which is great because you begin to see God through them. Next time you read through it, you start noticing patterns and seeing things you missed before. I’ve been studying my Bible for years, and I still learn new things every day. Will we ever learn all there is to know? I don’t believe so. I think we will always be in a state of learning. It is so intricately designed that even the most educated teacher will learn new things each day that they study. 

The lesson for today is: don’t be discouraged if you don’t understand all there is to know about God and His word; we are all learning at different paces. It’s better to take it in small increments than to even think you can learn it all at once. Be realistic and learn it to retain in your memory. When the time is right, God will open your eyes to more of His truths, when He knows you can digest them. 

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that areweaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:9-10

The repeated verse:

But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13

Isaiah 27

A Picture of the Final Judgment

Isaiah 27 is comparable to Revelation in that it mentions the slaying of a dragon, but here, there are three serpents slain by the sword.

In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathanthat crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1

Leviathan the Piercing Serpent: False prophet

Leviathan, the crooked Serpent: Governing authority that’s against God

Dragon in the Sea: The Devil

After this time, the beloved of God will rejoice as a vineyard of red wine that God will water and cause to flourish. Evil is purged and good multiplied. 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:13

Those who are facing trying times, be patient in your affliction. It’s rough right now, but a time is coming when we will all rejoice as God waters His vineyard and causes the good people to multiply and worship Him on His holy mountain, and be completely free from the enemy and his taunting. Wait for it; it will surely come.

Isaiah 26 

You Keep Him in Perfect Peace 

God, through Isaiah, gives us instructions on how to keep our peace during adversity and ways to avoid chastisement when He is set against those who don’t trust in Him.

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:2-3

It’s as simple as keeping our minds set upon God. I say it’s simple, but sometimes it’s not. I will sometimes start strong in prayer, and as I go, my mind wanders off, and I begin to think of my daily tasks. I will catch myself and redirect, but I’ll admit that it’s not always easy. I’m thankful for God’s grace. 

Think of this verse when you are battling the enemy, and things get hard:

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Isaiah 26:20

There is so much more to Isaiah 26, but the main idea is to trust in the LORD and go to Him when trouble abounds; in Him is where you will find perfect peace.

Isaiah 25 

God Will Swallow Up Death Forever

Because we are positioned with God and cleansed of all unrighteousness through Jesus, He assures us a triumphant victory over our enemies and an abundant life. I believe we are very close to this happening in our lifetime. The veil is already thinning, dribbles of truth seeping through, and the enemy running scared as they see their reign of terror coming to an end. Isaiah saw it and so did John, but we are living it.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 25:8

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

If you are in need of some encouragement today, take a moment to read Isaiah 25; it’s a short chapter of only 12 verses, but the impact of those verses is strong, and may be able to help you pull out of a deeply sorrowful state. It offers God worship and praise for all His goodness and mercy and gives us a glimpse into the joy that awaits us. What a wonderful time to be alive in Christ!

Isaiah 24 

Judgment on the Whole Earth 

Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. Isaiah 24:1

Will you be part of the remnant? Isaiah 24 is a picture of what happens during the judgment of the earth, when it will be devastated by fire, leaving only a remnant who still find their joy, enough to praise and worship God. Rich and poor will be equally devastated at that time. If this scripture alludes to the final judgment and only a few are left, who are they, and why weren't they raptured? Are they the ones left behind who find Jesus? What is the timeframe for this judgment, and how long will this remnant have to suffer the earth's devastation?

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isaiah 24:6

Then there is mention of the windows of the earth being opened. The Book of Enoch mentions the windows of the earth, but this is the first time I've noticed it in the canon of scriptures. 

And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. Isaiah 24:18

There are so many things mentioned in this chapter. However, too many people still believe everything they've been told, have their eyes covered, and have their heads in the sand, and the blind are leading the blind, but until we sincerely seek the truth, we won't find it, even though it's written on the pages of scripture.

Just to be clear, there are figures of speech in scripture, prophecies that do not make sense to the natural man, uses of parables to explain happenings, etc., so discernment is the key to understanding. God doesn't always open your mind to clarity until you've grasped other minor truths.

Isaiah 23

Isaiah’s prophecy about Tyre warned them about being taken over by Nebuchadnezzar. Much like Israel, they were taken into captivity and their city lay in ruin for seventy years. It seems that when the kingdom was taken from Nebuchadnezzar and their captives released, they returned and their city was inhabited again, much like Jerusalem. Tyre was a bustling city that reminded me of the entire United States, where commerce made it rich and beautiful. The best part of their captivity, according to historical records, was that, while serving time with the people of Israel, many people gave up their idols and began worshipping the One True God; during the time of Jesus, some also began to believe in him. This overtaking by Nebuchadnezzar shows that even a strong country can be taken away from its inhabitants if an unscrupulous leader comes to power. Why would you lay waste to a thriving city and let it go to ruin rather than use it for your benefit? It was a port city with much to be desired, and because of its ships, many people were able to escape rather than become captives. From the description in the scriptures, it’s a place that any of us could have enjoyed. 

The lesson is never to get too comfortable; anything can happen, even to a strong, desirable country like ours. Sleep in your spiritual armor!

And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isaiah 23:18

Isaiah 22

Isaiah predicts the siege of Jerusalem by Syria and Sennacherib’s army to take them into captivity. As we have seen from previous predictions, it only seems in proper order that Jerusalem was next. Unfortunately, many in the city didn’t listen to the warning to put on sackcloth and mourn, but instead chose to “eat, drink, and be merry.”

And 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. Isaiah 22:13

Even though this prophecy had nothing to do with us, it gives us a glimpse into how God guides His people. If we fail to acknowledge Him and keep our eyes glued to Him, we may also face correction. Much like the invasion of Jerusalem, the United States had a large number of immigrants crossing our borders, causing many to believe it was done on purpose as a way to take over. Currently, many are being sent back to their home countries, hopefully averting possible trouble; at least this is what the corrupt media are telling us. Remember, our media is not a reliable source of information. Personal experience is your best source. For example, we have rental properties, and our pool of tenants has dropped dramatically. Apartments that we had many applicants for a few years ago, with little trouble renting, are now taking us several weeks to rent, which leads me to believe that it is true that many immigrants are being sent back to their homelands.

No matter what others are doing around you, make sure you keep your eyes on Jesus and give the Father the worship He deserves, so when trouble abounds, He will remember your loyalty and love for Him.

Isaiah 21

The prophecies of Isaiah 21, of which there are three, are thought to have all been fulfilled. The first of Babylon, which we all know about from the Book of Daniel. The other two in this chapter, concerning Dumah and Arabia, were likely prophecies warning Judah not to count on them, because they wouldn’t be rescued. Isaiah let it be known that he was fearful of what was going to happen.

My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. Isaiah 21:4

Within Isaiah’s fear was comfort in hearing that God calls His people the corn of the threshing floor, which are those who trust in Him. Everything else on the threshing floor is chaff; those who are separated from the kernels will go on to live in despair. 

O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. Isaiah 21:10 

As a side note: The world has received fair warning throughout scripture of the coming calamity, yet they have failed to listen, even though there is proof that much of what was prophesied in scripture has been fulfilled. If the people miss the warnings, it is entirely their fault. If they fail to heed those warnings and take the necessary steps to listen and believe what God has clearly told them, then they will pay the price and live in eternal darkness. We all have eternal life, but where you spend your eternity depends entirely on your understanding of the warnings, changing to do what’s right in the eyes of God, and turning to Jesus.

Isaiah 20

Back in the Old Testament days, God would command obedience from His prophets and have them act in unusual ways to get His point across to His people. It was not uncommon for Him to tell them to change their attire to prophesy His intentions. For instance, Elijah wore animal skins, as did John the Baptist. The prophets were not about comfort; they were to show their mortification and commitment to God, even when it was embarrassing for them. Isaiah was no different. God commanded him to remove his clothing, which was already sackcloth, which was clothing the mourners wore, and to remove his shoes. He was to walk around naked for three years to show how long Egypt and Ethiopia would have before they were taken captive by Syria. Some commentators think it was only three days, one day for each year, but that’s not how it was described in scripture. 

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. Isaiah 20:3-4

Imagine living a luxurious lifestyle, then being stripped naked and carried away in shame. That’s what the Egyptians and Ethiopians were facing at the hands of Syria. 

As Americans, this lesson is good for us to remember because most of us live more lavishly than others in more remote areas of the world, and we are confident in our ability to sustain that lifestyle that keeps us comfortable. If we don’t keep our eyes on God and give Him the glory for sustaining our wealth and lifestyle, we could also be humbled like Egypt and Ethiopia. Individually, we must praise, worship, and most of all thank God for all that He has given us, and not believe we got it because of our own ability. Everything we have is a gift.

Isaiah 19

Tribulation in Egypt and Reconciliation to Jesus

Isaiah 19 is a prophecy about Egypt being destroyed and then restored to Jesus. The Nile River dried up, which was what they used to water their crops and feed their families with the fish. Then it was restored, thus the beginning of the Reign of Christ. He explains what the millennial kingdom was like, where Jesus ruled and reigned with his saints. Egypt, Syria, and Israel were friendly with one another.

And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. Isaiah 19:22

Here is where I send you down a trail to dig into and snoop around in the things that have led me to wonder whether this prophecy may already have been fulfilled, and whether we may be living after Jesus' reign. Here is what makes me question the narrative we've been given: ancient buildings that weren't destroyed by war, which we couldn't possibly build today. Take a look at all the Capitol buildings across the United States and tell me whether you think they could be builttoday. They don't lie to us in that respect, but they do try to hide the truth by saying these buildings were "founded" sometime in the late 1700's and 1800's. The truth is hidden in plain sight. Consider this: do you know anything about your great-great-grandparents and their lives? Not likely. That's how the enemy can make us forget our past so quickly. Are we living a lie? Has history been distorted to keep us enslaved? What is the point? My guess is to cover up Jesus' reign and create a narrative that it hasn't happened yet to command our obedience to Satan. If we are living in the short season of Satan, the season of deception, he might lie to us and make us think we are free when clearly we still have to pay taxes, which keeps us enslaved. It's almost too much and creates more questions. If we are living after the millennial reign, then what's next is judgment, and I'm looking forward to Satan being thrust into the lake of fire and unable to lie to us anymore. 

Does any of this matter? No. All that matters is that you trust in Jesus, love the LORD your God with all your heart, and love others as He has loved you. 

Note: I can't make this stuff up on my own. However, I've dug deep to find evidence that leads me to believe much of what I'm sharing, such as ancient texts confirmed by Biblical prophecy and, of course, those ridiculously complicated buildings that can't be explained.

Isaiah 18 

An Oracle Concerning Cush 

Where is Cush? No one seems to be clear about the exact location; however, we know it’s likely in Africa, possibly along the Nile River. Some scholars believe it is Ethiopia, and since Isaiah mentions Ethiopia in the first verse, they may be right, since the Blue Nile runs through parts of it. Isaiah calls the people of that country obstinate from the beginning, which we know from other books in the Bible that Cush was Noah’s grandson from Ham, who was the father of Nimrod, who built the Tower of Babel. If Cush was the one who took over that part of the world, it makes sense. Since we believe Isaiah may have been talking about Ethiopia, the last verse of this prophecy makes sense. During the spread of Christianity, Phillip sat with the Ethiopian eunuch in his chariot, explaining Isaiah’s prophecy about Jesus and then baptizing him. I understand the Ethiopian’s trouble understanding Isaiah, because this chapter is especially daunting, and I need other scholars to explain the interpretation. 

In 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. Isaiah 18:7

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Acts 8:30-31

We know that the Holy Spirit makes much of the Bible abundantly clear; however, some, especially portions not meant for us, need interpretation from others more knowledgeable than we are. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand all the Bible; God will open your eyes when it is necessary.
