Isaiah 26, Come MY people enter your chambers!

Isa 26:1-2, IN THAT DAY THIS SONG WILL BE SUNG IN THE LAND OF JUDAH: “WE HAVE A STRONG CITY; GOD WILL APPOINT SALVATION FOR WALLS AND BULWARKS. OPEN THE GATES, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

This is the coming of the new city of Jerusalem; the city not made by man, but by GOD HIMSELF!

Rev 21:2, THEN I, JOHN, SAW THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN FROM GOD, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 

This is the same city that Abraham waited for.

Heb 11:10, FOR HE WAITED FOR THE CITY WHICH HAS FOUNDATIONS, WHOSE BUILDER AND MAKER IS GOD. 

Isa 26:3-4, YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. TRUST IN THE LORD FOREVER, FOR IN YAH, THE LORD, IS EVERLASTING STRENGTH.

Israel had times of peace, but they were watchful for the enemy. Now, with the LORD in their mist, PERFECT PEACE WILL REIGN!

Isa 26:19, Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. 

It’s interesting the Isaiah now has a vision prior to the great tribulation; the rapture of the church is seen here! 1Thes 4:13-16

1Th 4:16, For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. 

Isa 26:20, Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, AS IT WERE, FOR A LITTLE MOMENT, UNTIL THE INDIGNATION IS PAST. 

The bride will be hidden from the tribulation which will come to the world!

Rev 3:10, BECAUSE YOU HAVE KEPT MY COMMAND TO PERSEVERE, I ALSO WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL WHICH SHALL COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, TO TEST THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH. 

Isa 26:21, FOR BEHOLD, THE LORD COMES OUT OF HIS PLACE TO PUNISH THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH FOR THEIR INIQUITY; THE EARTH WILL ALSO DISCLOSE HER BLOOD, AND WILL NO MORE COVER HER SLAIN. 

Re-read Isaiah 24 & 25, the great tribulation! AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD; FOR WE DON’T WANT ANY PART OF THE TRIAL WHICH IS TO COME!

Isaiah 25, The veil has lifted!

Isa 25:1, O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

From the mist of tribulation of the world, Praise shall break out exalting the LORD! Isa 24:14.

Isa 25:3, THEREFORE THE STRONG PEOPLE WILL GLORIFY YOU; THE CITY OF THE TERRIBLE NATIONS WILL FEAR YOU.

No more unbelief, no more atheist; The fear of the LORD shall be known to all!

Isa 25:7, AND HE WILL DESTROY ON THIS MOUNTAIN THE SURFACE OF THE COVERING CAST OVER ALL PEOPLE, AND THE VEIL THAT IS SPREAD OVER ALL NATIONS. 

The veil that covers the eyes of all none believers will be destroyed

2Co 3:15-16, BUT EVEN TO THIS DAY, WHEN MOSES IS READ, A VEIL LIES ON THEIR HEART. NEVERTHELESS WHEN ONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY.

Isa 25:8, HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH FOREVER, AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM ALL FACES; THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE HE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM ALL THE EARTH; FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN.

The tribulation is over and the LORD Reigns on the earth! No more death, no more fear; and HE will wipe away our tears of pure joy from our eyes! THIS IS OUR GOD!

Rev 21:4, AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” 

Isa 25:9, AND IT WILL BE SAID IN THAT DAY: “BEHOLD, THIS IS OUR GOD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, AND HE WILL SAVE US. THIS IS THE LORD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM; WE WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION.” 

The Jewish nation will come to know that HE whom they have rejected (Acts 4:11), JESUS, is their long-awaited MESSIAH.

Zec 12:10, …THEN THEY WILL LOOK ON ME WHOM THEY PIERCED. YES, THEY WILL MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND GRIEVE FOR HIM AS ONE GRIEVES FOR A FIRSTBORN. 

Imagine denying HIM for almost 2000 years only to find out that HE is their MESSIAH! Yes they will mourn for they pierced their own Messiah out of ignorance and pride, but now their eyes are now opened! Remember, GOD uses everything, even their ignorance, to bring salvation to the world! THANK YOU, LORD!
