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

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

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

The Love of God 

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Song of Solomon 2:3-4

You’ve heard it said that God is love, and He is, but He is more than that. Love is only one of His attributes; however, it is one of His attributes that we receive a comforting feeling from, especially when fear grips us. We can count on Him to wrap us in His loving arms and to console us with His love. God’s love is much more than I can imagine, but when I try to picture it, the words of Zephaniah seem to be what I think about because the description is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Can you see it? Though we don’t know exactly what God looks like, we can feel Him when He sings over us and can even picture a banner over us that says “Love.” The most compelling thought is about what Jesus did for us on the cross; greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus is love perfected. 

Yes, God is more than just love, but I can’t help but be drawn to this attribute most of all. I could have written this devotion solely from scripture, and you probably would have gotten a more accurate picture. His love for us is more than words can describe; it’s emotional, but concrete, and we can count on it never ending, or getting bigger because it’s always existed in Him in its fullest. That in itself is comforting. 

If you need a little more comfort in this day and age and feel like something dreadful is coming upon us, rest easy in the following words:

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:17-18

The Grace of God

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:17

Grace is free and unmerited love and reconciliation with God.

Grace is for the saved. The unsaved may receive God’s mercy for a time, but only His children receive grace. To receive grace, you must accept Jesus as your Savior; there is no other way. 

Moses is an example of a form of God’s grace: Moses wasn’t allowed to see God; when he passed by him while he was in the cleft of the rock, he only saw His back. He also wasn’t allowed to enter the promised land; he died just outside of it. However, during the transfiguration, Moses saw God’s face through Jesus Christ our Lord, and had entered the promised land because they were in Jerusalem at that time. A lot of time may have passed, but God still answered his prayer and told him yes.

We sin daily, maybe not egregiously, but in our thoughts, and it is through the grace of God that He doesn’t consume us, and by His grace, He willingly sacrificed Himself to cover our known and unknown sins.

The Mercy of God 

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 136:1

Don't get discouraged if you see God show mercy to worldly people and grant them a reprieve from the consequences of their actions. It is only for the here-and-now. They may become complacent, thinking they are okay with God, but His mercy ends here on earth. Then God shows us mercy by taking them out of this world and sending them to the next realm, where they will get what they deserve. How sad would it be if we had to live amidst the children of the devil forever?

For us, those who trust in Him, He shows His mercy daily. Think about it, how many times a day do you say, "thank God?" It is in those moments that you realize how merciful He is; so much so, you can't help but reach out and thank Him. He is merciful to us by giving us something to look forward to when He removes the wicked from this world and gives us peace and happiness living with Him and among those who are also devoted to Him. It is because of the sweetness of His mercy that we aren't consumed. 

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. Isaiah 30:18

The Justice of God 

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. Isaiah 30:18

For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Isaiah 61:8

We know from this study, The Knowledge of the Holy, that God knows all, sees all, is everywhere all at once, and is all-powerful. What can a human do that would equal the justice of God? He may use us as a tool to render justice, but for us, it will be within the parameters of His law. However, you will likely see God’s justice without participating. 

God is not like anything other than Himself. Gold is always gold and can only be gold. God, though He has many attributes, can only be Himself, and if any being, human or not, acts in such a way that goes against who He is or how He wants them to behave, He will exact justice. When it comes to vengeance, allow the pieces to fall where they may because God’s justice is far superior to our own.

The Goodness of God 

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalms 34:8

We live in such a sinful world that it is hard to fathom the meaning of “good.” No human is good; though we strive to be good by aspiring to be like Jesus, however, at any given moment, we are able and will revert to our previous nature. How do you react when someone cuts you off in traffic and nearly causes you to wreck? God is always good and never loses His cool. If we face retribution, it’s because of something we did to ourselves, not something God did. 

Here is something that you’ve probably not considered: your lack of faith is a reflection on God. Why don’t we trust Him? We are hard-headed know-it-alls, and think we have to answer for everything, but really, we should know the truth about ourselves that we haven’t got a clue about how good God is, or even what it means to be good. So our homework for today and for the rest of your life is to grow your faith in God and trust that He has your life in His hands because only He is good.

The Faithfulness of God 

Even though we may separate God's attributes to understand Him, each one works together in divine harmony to explain an otherwise unexplainable being. If we speak of God as only love, we forget that He is also just, and that those who go against Him will face the consequences of their actions. 

God is faithful, so we can be assured that He keeps His promises. Much of what we see happening today is a part of Him fulfilling His promises. The ungodly and wicked are feeling the walls closing in on them, and they are lashing out, trying to make us feel like we are the ones who will receive His retribution, but we know from the scriptures that it's not us who will face God's wrath, but them. 

For peace of mind, know that we are encapsulated in God's hands through Jesus Christ our Lord and can rest assured that even if a man or being harms our body, it cannot harm our soul. Jesus said, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." 

It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. Lamentations 3:22-24

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9
