Isaiah 21, What HE has said will come to pass!

Isa 21:1-2, THE BURDEN AGAINST THE WILDERNESS OF THE SEA. As whirlwinds in the South pass through, SO IT COMES FROM THE DESERT, FROM A TERRIBLE LAND. A DISTRESSING VISION IS DECLARED TO ME; The treacherous dealer deals treacherously, And the plunderer plunders. Go up, O ELAM! Besiege, O MEDIA! All its sighing I have made to cease.

Babylon is called the wilderness of the sea because the great plains of the land! Also Elam and Media are ancient names for modern day IRAN! 

Isa 21:9, … “BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN! AND ALL THE CARVED IMAGES OF HER GODS HE HAS BROKEN TO THE GROUND.

Babylon did fall to the Medes, but in the near future will fall again! Rev 14:8, 18:2

Isa 21:10, Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! THAT WHICH I HAVE HEARD FROM THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, I HAVE DECLARED TO YOU. 

Isaiah tells Israel what the LORD has declared to him, GOD gave him a vision of the future. SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT GOD DOESN’T KNOW THE FUTURE; OBVIOUSLY THAT PERSON NEVER READ SCRIPTURE!

Isa 46:9-10, … FOR I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, SAYING, ‘MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, AND I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE,’ 

Isa 21:13-14, The burden against Arabia. IN THE FOREST IN ARABIA YOU WILL LODGE, O YOU TRAVELING COMPANIES OF DEDANITES. O INHABITANTS OF THE LAND OF TEMA, BRING WATER TO HIM WHO IS THIRSTY; WITH THEIR BREAD THEY MET HIM WHO FLED.

Isaiah sees refugees fleeing Arabia thirsty and hungry hiding in the forest.

Isa 21:16-17, FOR THUS THE LORD HAS SAID TO ME: “WITHIN A YEAR, …, all the glory of Kedar will fail; and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; FOR THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HAS SPOKEN IT.”

Remember, GOD is not a man that HE should lie; if HE said it then it shall come to pass!

Eze 12:25, FOR I AM THE LORD. I SPEAK, AND THE WORD WHICH I SPEAK WILL COME TO PASS; IT WILL NO MORE BE POSTPONED; FOR IN YOUR DAYS, O REBELLIOUS HOUSE, I WILL SAY THE WORD AND PERFORM IT,” SAYS THE LORD GOD.’ ” 

Isaiah 20, Trusting in man rather than GOD?

Isa 20:1, IN THE YEAR THAT TARTAN CAME TO ASHDOD, WHEN SARGON THE KING OF ASSYRIA SENT HIM, AND HE FOUGHT AGAINST ASHDOD AND TOOK IT, 

Tartan, which is a title something like general today, was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria (father to Sennacherib) and took the philistine city of Ashdod! Israel was scared!

Isa 20:2-3, at the same TIME THE LORD SPOKE BY ISAIAH the son of Amoz, saying, “GO, AND REMOVE THE SACKCLOTH FROM YOUR BODY, AND TAKE YOUR SANDALS OFF YOUR FEET.” And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Then the LORD said, “JUST AS MY SERVANT ISAIAH HAS WALKED NAKED AND BAREFOOT THREE YEARS FOR A SIGN AND A WONDER AGAINST EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA,

The LORD told Isaiah to strip down, not completely naked, but down to his under garments as a sign which the LORD was going to do to Egypt and Ethiopia! Why?

Isa 20:4, SO SHALL THE KING OF ASSYRIA LEAD AWAY THE EGYPTIANS AS PRISONERS AND THE ETHIOPIANS AS CAPTIVES, YOUNG AND OLD, NAKED AND BAREFOOT, WITH THEIR BUTTOCKS UNCOVERED, TO THE SHAME OF EGYPT. 

When Assyria took Ashdod, Israel was looking to form an alliance with Egypt and Ethiopia in order to fight against Assyria! ISRAEL WAS LOOKING FOR HELP IN THE WORLD AND FORGOT ABOUT GOD?

Jos 1:9, HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU? BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE; DO NOT BE AFRAID, NOR BE DISMAYED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.” 

Isa 20:5, THEN THEY (ISRAEL) SHALL BE AFRAID AND ASHAMED OF ETHIOPIA THEIR EXPECTATION AND EGYPT THEIR GLORY. 

Assyria humiliated the nations which Israel depended on! They were ashamed because they sought for help in man and not GOD!

Jer 17:5, Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. 

Isa 20:6, And the inhabitant of this territory (Israel) will say in that day, ‘SURELY SUCH IS OUR EXPECTATION, WHEREVER WE FLEE FOR HELP to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE?’ ” 

It’s always sad when people, who say they believe in GOD, place their faith in man? IS THEIR ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?

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.

Isaiah 19, Wait and see, for it will surely come to pass!

Isa 19:1-2, The burden against Egypt. BEHOLD, THE LORD RIDES ON A SWIFT CLOUD, AND WILL COME INTO EGYPT; The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; Everyone will fight against his brother, And everyone against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

As the LORD struck the land of Egypt with the 10 plagues, HE will strike them again!

Isa 19:3-4, The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, And they will consult the idols and the charmers, The mediums and the sorcerers. And the Egyptians I will give Into the hand of a CRUEL MASTER, And A FIERCE KING WILL RULE OVER THEM,” Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Often the LORD strikes a nation by destroying their wise counsel and by giving a bad leader! This looks like the United States today!

Isa 19:14-15, The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt TO ERR IN ALL HER WORK, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit. NEITHER WILL THERE BE ANY WORK FOR EGYPT…

Egypt’s economy will be completely crushed, and the fear of the LORD will come upon them!

Isa 19:20b, …for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and HE WILL SEND THEM A SAVIOR AND A MIGHTY ONE, AND HE WILL DELIVER THEM. 

Egypt, currently a Islamic country, will come to know the LORD!

Isa 19:21, THEN THE LORD WILL BE KNOWN TO EGYPT, AND THE EGYPTIANS WILL KNOW THE LORD IN THAT DAY, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it. 

NOT ONLY EGYPT, BUT ALSO ASSYRIA!

Isa 19:24-25, IN THAT DAY ISRAEL WILL BE ONE OF THREE WITH EGYPT AND ASSYRIA—A BLESSING IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND, WHOM THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL BLESS, SAYING, “BLESSED IS EGYPT MY PEOPLE, AND ASSYRIA THE WORK OF MY HANDS, AND ISRAEL MY INHERITANCE.”

This may seem impossible today, but wait, just wait; for it will surely take place! HE KNOWS THE END FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!

Hab 2:3, FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME; BUT AT THE END IT WILL SPEAK, AND IT WILL NOT LIE. THOUGH IT TARRIES, WAIT FOR IT; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY.

Isaiah 18, The LORD doesn’t need help!

Isa 18:1-2, Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings, WHICH IS BEYOND THE RIVERS OF ETHIOPIA, Which sends ambassadors by sea, Even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying, “GO, SWIFT MESSENGERS, TO A NATION TALL AND SMOOTH OF SKIN, To a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, WHOSE LAND THE RIVERS DIVIDE.” 

The nation of Ethiopia wanted to form a confederacy with Israel against Assyria; Yet, Isaiah points out that GOD will protect Israel and HE has a message to all the world!

Isa 18:3, NLT, ALL YOU PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, EVERYONE WHO LIVES ON THE EARTH—WHEN I RAISE MY BATTLE FLAG ON THE MOUNTAIN, LOOK! WHEN I BLOW THE RAM’S HORN, LISTEN!

When GOD is working look and listen for no man is able to stand before the living GOD! HE doesn’t need an alliance of men to destroy Assyria; for HE is in full control of everything!

Exo 14:14, THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YOU SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE.” 

Isa 18:4, NLT, For the LORD has told me this: “I WILL WATCH QUIETLY FROM MY DWELLING PLACE…. EVEN BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR ATTACK, WHILE YOUR PLANS ARE RIPENING LIKE GRAPES, THE LORD WILL CUT OFF YOUR NEW GROWTH WITH PRUNING SHEARS. HE WILL SNIP OFF AND DISCARD YOUR SPREADING BRANCHES

HE, The LORD sees everything for HE is never sleeping nor resting; HE is always working! HE knows what HE’s doing and has a perfect plan!

Psa 121:3-5, He will not allow your foot to be moved; HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER. BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

Isa 18:6, THEY WILL BE LEFT TOGETHER FOR THE MOUNTAIN BIRDS OF PREY AND FOR THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH; THE BIRDS OF PREY WILL SUMMER ON THEM, AND ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH WILL WINTER ON THEM. 

The bodies of those that came up against HIS people will be left as food for the wild animals!

Nah 1:6-7, WHO CAN STAND BEFORE HIS INDIGNATION? AND WHO CAN ENDURE THE FIERCENESS OF HIS ANGER? HIS FURY IS POURED OUT LIKE FIRE, AND THE ROCKS ARE THROWN DOWN BY HIM. The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.

DO YOU TRUST IN HIM? HE DOESN’T NEED HELP FROM ANYONE FOR HE TREADS THE WINEPRESS ALONE!

Isaiah 17, Because they have forgotten GOD

Isa 17:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST DAMASCUS. “BEHOLD, DAMASCUS WILL CEASE FROM BEING A CITY, AND IT WILL BE A RUINOUS HEAP. 

Assyria, did in fact fight & destroyed the alliance of Syria and Ephraim who went against Judah! But, it’s still a city today; which points to a future attack! Today, Damascus is a heap of ruins, but in the near future it will be utterly destroyed! A double prophecy of destruction!

Amo 1:3-5, Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I WILL NOT TURN AWAY ITS PUNISHMENT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THRESHED GILEAD WITH IMPLEMENTS OF IRON. BUT I WILL SEND A FIRE INTO THE HOUSE OF HAZAEL, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE PALACES OF BEN-HADAD. I WILL ALSO BREAK THE GATE BAR OF DAMASCUS, AND CUT OFF THE INHABITANT FROM THE VALLEY OF AVEN, …

Isa 17:7, IN THAT DAY A MAN WILL LOOK TO HIS MAKER, AND HIS EYES WILL HAVE RESPECT FOR THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. 

When 911 came upon New York the churches were filled for they thought this is the beginning of the end! YET slowly left the churches because life was getting back to normal! WHEN THIS PROPHECY COMES TO PASS, THEN MEN WILL ONCE AGAIN LOOK TO GOD THEIR MAKER!

Isa 17:8, HE WILL NOT LOOK TO THE ALTARS, THE WORK OF HIS HANDS; HE WILL NOT RESPECT WHAT HIS FINGERS HAVE MADE, NOR THE WOODEN IMAGES NOR THE INCENSE ALTARS.

This is the one of GOD’s purposes to get man to look upon HIM and not their useless idols!

Psa 115:4-7, THEIR IDOLS ARE SILVER AND GOLD, THE WORK OF MEN’S HANDS. THEY HAVE MOUTHS, BUT THEY DO NOT SPEAK; EYES THEY HAVE, BUT THEY DO NOT SEE; THEY HAVE EARS, BUT THEY DO NOT HEAR; NOSES THEY HAVE, BUT THEY DO NOT SMELL; THEY HAVE HANDS, BUT THEY DO NOT HANDLE; FEET THEY HAVE, BUT THEY DO NOT WALK; NOR DO THEY MUTTER THROUGH THEIR THROAT.

Isa 17:10, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE GOD OF YOUR SALVATION, AND HAVE NOT BEEN MINDFUL OF THE ROCK OF YOUR STRONGHOLD…

HIS word will come to pass as it is written! Don’t trust in idols for they are dead, but trust in the LORD! Judgment will come because men have forgotten or ignored the GOD of all creation!

Deu 8:11, “BEWARE THAT YOU DO NOT FORGET THE LORD YOUR GOD BY NOT KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS, HIS JUDGMENTS, AND HIS STATUTES WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY, 

Isaiah 16, After the wrath the KING comes!

Isa 16:1, Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, From SELA to the wilderness, TO THE MOUNT OF THE DAUGHTER OF ZION.

Isaiah was writing of judgement coming to Moab, so he says THAT MOAB SHOULD START AGAIN BRINGING TRIBUTE TO JERUSALEM AND SUBMITTING THEMSELVES TO GOD!

2Ki 3:4, Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepbreeder, and HE REGULARLY PAID THE KING OF ISRAEL ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND LAMBS…

Isa 16:2, FOR IT SHALL BE AS A WANDERING BIRD THROWN OUT OF THE NEST; …

Isaiah compared Moab to a helpless little bird confused, weak and vulnerable. So are many Christians who wonder from church to church; Spurgeon called them “GIPSY-CHRISTIANS”!

Pro 27:8, Like a bird that wanders from its nest Is a man who wanders from his place. 

Isa 16:4 NLT, LET OUR REFUGEES STAY AMONG YOU. HIDE THEM FROM OUR ENEMIES UNTIL THE TERROR IS PAST.” WHEN OPPRESSION AND DESTRUCTION HAVE ENDED AND ENEMY RAIDERS HAVE DISAPPEARED, 

Isiah changes focus from Moab to the tribulation time when the remnant of Israel will hide in Petra (Sela) in Moab (Jordan).

Mat 24:15-16, “Therefore when you see the ‘ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “THEN LET THOSE WHO ARE IN JUDEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS.

Isa 16:5, IN MERCY THE THRONE WILL BE ESTABLISHED; AND ONE WILL SIT ON IT IN TRUTH, IN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, JUDGING AND SEEKING JUSTICE AND HASTENING RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

An Isaiah sees even further to the time in which the MESSIAH WILL REIGN ON THE THRONE OF DAVID. And, those that ran for their lives will be gathered again in Israel!

Mic 4:6-7, “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted; I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; SO THE LORD WILL REIGN OVER THEM IN MOUNT ZION FROM NOW ON, EVEN FOREVER.

JESUS, the MESSIAH will reign as KING of the earth! HIS throne will be forever and ever!  Be ready, the KING is coming!

Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. 

Isaiah 15, Judgement has come to MOAB!

Isa 15:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST MOAB. BECAUSE IN THE NIGHT Ar of MOAB IS LAID WASTE AND DESTROYED, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, 

The wrath of GOD has come to MOAB, which is modern day Jordan, South East of Israel. While everyone was sleeping destruction came!

Isa 15:2-3, He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, TO THE HIGH PLACES TO WEEP. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off. In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; … EVERYONE WILL WAIL, WEEPING BITTERLY.

Jer 48:42, AND MOAB SHALL BE DESTROYED AS A PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE EXALTED HIMSELF AGAINST THE LORD. 

No man no country can exalt themselves before GOD and live! When judgement comes the only thing people can do is cry.

Heb 10:31, IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. 

Isa 15:6-7, FOR THE WATERS OF NIMRIM WILL BE DESOLATE, FOR THE GREEN GRASS HAS WITHERED AWAY; THE GRASS FAILS, THERE IS NOTHING GREEN. THEREFORE THE ABUNDANCE THEY HAVE GAINED, AND WHAT THEY HAVE LAID UP, THEY WILL CARRY AWAY TO THE BROOK OF THE WILLOWS.

There is nothing left for MOAB, No water, no vegetation everything has withered away! THOSE WHO SURVIVE shall carry away what little they have left and flee away!

Isa 15:9, FOR THE WATERS OF DIMON WILL BE FULL OF BLOOD; BECAUSE I WILL BRING MORE UPON DIMON, LIONS UPON HIM WHO ESCAPES FROM MOAB, AND ON THE REMNANT OF THE LAND.”

The refugees who survive the initial attack will be killed! Complete and utter destruction! As Judgement came to Moab, so it must come here as well! The day of the LORD comes, and there is only one way to escape!

1Th 5:9, FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

Remember GOD is love, but HE is also JUST! HE has given every sinner a way of salvation through HIS SON who died for us!

Rom 5:8-9, BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. MUCH MORE THEN, HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.

Get right with the LORD for HE is coming!

Isaiah 14, Pride comes before the fall!

Isa 14:1, FOR THE LORD WILL HAVE MERCY ON JACOB, AND WILL STILL CHOOSE ISRAEL, AND SETTLE THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND. …

After the devastation of Israel by the hand of Babylon the LORD will bring back a remnant of HIS people! It also happened in WWII and it will also happen again in the near future! 

Rom 11:5, EVEN SO THEN, AT THIS PRESENT TIME THERE IS A REMNANT ACCORDING TO THE ELECTION OF GRACE. 

Isa 14:9, “HELL FROM BENEATH IS EXCITED ABOUT YOU, TO MEET YOU AT YOUR COMING…

Isaiah wrote about the king of Babylon, but he is also talking about satan himself!

Isa 14:12, “HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING! HOW YOU ARE CUT DOWN TO THE GROUND, YOU WHO WEAKENED THE NATIONS!  

Satan once had a great position in heaven till iniquity (PRIDE) was found in him!

Eze 28:14-15, “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU.

He, satan, wanted to be GOD

Isa 14:13-14, For you have said in your heart: ‘I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD; I WILL ALSO SIT ON THE MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION ON THE FARTHEST SIDES OF THE NORTH; I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS, I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.’

He wanted to be exalted like GOD, He wanted to sit on HIS throne and receive praise! YET!

Isa 14:15-16, YET YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO SHEOL, TO THE LOWEST DEPTHS OF THE PIT …

Rev 19:20, THEN THE BEAST WAS CAPTURED, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET WHO WORKED SIGNS IN HIS PRESENCE, …. THESE TWO WERE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND WHAT HE SAYS WILL BE DONE! REMEMBER, AS THIS NATION CELEBRATES PRIDE MONTH, “PRIDE COMES BEFORE THE FALL”!

Isa 14:24, 27, THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS SWORN, SAYING, “SURELY, AS I HAVE THOUGHT, SO IT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND AS I HAVE PURPOSED, SO IT SHALL STAND… FOR THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS PURPOSED, AND WHO WILL ANNUL IT? HIS HAND IS STRETCHED OUT, AND WHO WILL TURN IT BACK?” 

Isaiah 13, the day of the LORD!

Isa 13:1, The burden against Babylon which ISAIAH THE SON OF AMOZ SAW. 

What amazes me about Isaiah is that GOD reveals HIS coming judgement on Babylon, about 100 years after Isaiah’s death; then talks of the judgement coming to the world thousands of years later!

Isa 13:4-5, … THE LORD OF HOSTS MUSTERS THE ARMY FOR BATTLE. They come from a far country, From the end of heaven—THE LORD AND HIS WEAPONS OF INDIGNATION, TO DESTROY THE WHOLE LAND.

Babylon was used by GOD as a Rod to punish HIS own people, Israel. Now judgement is coming to Babylon! In the book of Daniel chapter 5 speaks of this!

Dan 5:28, 30 PERES: YOUR KINGDOM HAS BEEN DIVIDED, AND GIVEN TO THE MEDES AND PERSIANS.” That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.

Isa 13:9-10, BEHOLD, THE DAY OF THE LORD COMES, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And HE WILL DESTROY ITS SINNERS FROM IT. For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.

Now Isaiah is focused on the DAY OF THE LORD.  The LORD comes with fierce wrath upon the world, and signs will be seen in the heavens above! The seven-year tribulation!

Mat 24:29, “IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT; THE STARS WILL FALL FROM HEAVEN, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Isa 13:11-12, “I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, And the wicked for their iniquity; I WILL HALT THE ARROGANCE OF THE PROUD, AND WILL LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. I WILL MAKE A MORTAL MORE RARE THAN FINE GOLD, A MAN MORE THAN THE GOLDEN WEDGE OF OPHIR.

Today, the world has about 8 Billion living souls, but the DAY OF THE LORD will destroy the vast majority of them! HE CAME AS A LAMB, BUT NOW HE COMES AS A LION!

Psa 110:5-6, The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.

HE is a GOD of LOVE, but HE is also JUST and righteous! HIS wrath is near! BE READY FOR JUDGEMENT IS COMING!

Isaiah 12, Come drink from the fountain of life!

Isa 12:1, AND IN THAT DAY YOU WILL SAY: “O LORD, I will praise You; THOUGH YOU WERE ANGRY WITH ME, YOUR ANGER IS TURNED AWAY, AND YOU COMFORT ME. 

The day is coming when ISRAEL SHALL MOURN at the coming of the KING their MESSIAH; for they will look at HIM whom they rejected and pierced on the cross! WE CRUCIFIED OUR OWN MESSIAH? WE REJECTED HIM AND TORTURED OUR OWN KING? FORGIVE US LORD!

Zec 12:10, “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; 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. 

Isa 12:2, Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ ” 

Our good deed our good thoughts or our money doesn’t save us; only in GOD do we find salvation! Only in HIM do we find life!

Isa 12:3, THEREFORE WITH JOY YOU WILL DRAW WATER FROM THE WELLS OF SALVATION. 

With this water HE will fill us with the HOLY SPIRIT, and we shall rejoice in the KING!

Joh 4:14, BUT WHOEVER DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL NEVER THIRST. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A FOUNTAIN OF WATER SPRINGING UP INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.” 

Isa 12:4-5, AND IN THAT DAY YOU WILL SAY: “PRAISE THE LORD, CALL UPON HIS NAME; DECLARE HIS DEEDS AMONG THE PEOPLES, MAKE MENTION THAT HIS NAME IS EXALTED.  SING TO THE LORD, FOR HE HAS DONE EXCELLENT THINGS; THIS IS KNOWN IN ALL THE EARTH.

The worship of HIM the KING shall fill the earth for HE reigns in Jerusalem, and all the world shall see HIM!

Isa 12:6, Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, FOR GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN YOUR MIDST!” 

HE WILL REIGN AS KING OF ALL THE EARTH IN OUR VERY PRESENCE. NO MORE ATHIEST, NO MORE CRIME FOR HE SHALL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON! THE KING IS COMING! BE READY!
