PROPHETS - Isaiah Parts 1-4

  Part 4

1:31 - “The mighty will be as tinder and their works a spark which no person can put out. (Verse 15 - Even if you offer prayers, I will not listen, your hands are full of blood. Micah 3:6,7 - “The day will go dark for them, they will cover their faces because there is no answer from elohim [the]gods.”)

     2:1 This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz has seen concerning Jerusalem and Judah. 2 It shall come to pass, in latter days [acharith - the after-part, end] the mountain of the house of Yahweh will be established in the highest mountains and exalted above the hills, and all nations will flow to it. 3 Many people will come and say, “Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his way, and we’ll walk in his paths, for out of Zion will go forth his law [torah - direction, instruction, law, from yara (or Yarah) to throw, shoot (at a target?)] and will go forth the word [dabar - speech, word] of Yahweh from Jerusalem. 4 He will judge between nations, and settle disputes. They will beat their swords into plowshares (the V plows that are pulled by horses) and their spears into gardening tools. [This is repeated in Micah 4:3.] 5 House of Jacob [Yaaqob - a son of Isaac, from “aqeb - heel, footprint” (named because Jacob during birth grabbed his twin brother Esau’s ankle)]. Come let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

     6 ..They are full of superstition from the East, they practice divination like the Philistines. They strike a bargain with foreigners. 7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no end to their treasures. The land is full of horses ..and chariots. 8 The land is full of idols, they bow to the work of their own hands. 9 So man will be brought low and humbled. [From] 10-22 Go into the rocks, hide underground, from fear of Yahweh and the splendor of his majesty.  ..arrogance..pride.. brought low.  For the day of Yahweh comes upon all that is proud, lofty and lifted up, and it will brought low..  All the high hills, every lofty tower, every fortified wall, every trading ship, every stately vessel. The arrogance of man will be brought low, and the pride of man humbled. The LORD alone will be exalted.. the idols will disappear. Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground from fear and dread of the glory of his majesty when he arises to shake mightily the Earth. (When things go terribly bad. GOD created a cause and effect universe.) …Cease to trust in man who’s breath is in his nostrils..

Part 3

1:21 - How the faithful city has become a prostitute. Her streets used to be full of righteousness and justice, but now murderers lodge in her. (So tell me history doesn’t repeat, thus prophecy. Story of every city.)  [Think of prophecy as prophecy. Not a curse being proclaimed.]  22 The value of your silver/money has fallen away.. 25 But I will turn my hand upon you and purge away your dross. 28 The crashing [sheber - breaking, fracturing, breaching, crushing (or) crashing] of the rebels and sinners [chatta - from chata - to miss, go wrong] will be together. Those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed. (Cross reference - 2Pet.3:10, 2Thes.1:7-8, a first mention of a lake of fire. ๐Ÿค”Order, crash, fiery event, a seal six event, but what the seal is, is veiled by its description as its entire effects, first to very last.) 30 You will be like an oak tree whose leaves have faded, like a garden with no water.. [In the prophets, usually the order is, the path of destruction pointed out, that the city, the people are on, and what will occur if the way isn’t changed - prophecy, cause and effect, not a curse - followed by verses about restoration, reconciliation and blessing. Rescue! Through a Messiah, and “savior of the world”.] (God’s other option? To avoid such calamity? A robotic ant farm?)

Part 2

1:3 The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger/trough, but Israel (and humanity) does not know, my people do not understand.” (And any nation, especially its leaders, though separated (“set apart”) to birth the Messiah/Savior would have also rejected him when he showed up humble, homeless, and threatening of their worldly status.) 4 ..They have forsaken ..turned their backs.. and (thus?) sinful they are. 5 ..The whole head is sick and the whole heart is faint. 6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness/battered from head to foot— only bruises, wounds, and sores, not cleansed, bandaged or soothed with olive oil. 7 Your country lies in ruins, and your towns are burned. Foreigners plunder your fields before your eyes as overthrown by strangers. 8 Beautiful Jerusalem stands abandoned.. 9 Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors.. 11 ..I take no pleasure in your sacrifices.. 12 who asked you to trample my courts? 13 ..wickedness in the sacred meeting.. 14 the new moon feasts, the holy day festivals.. a burden to me.. 15 Your hands are full of blood, I do not hear your prayers though they become many. 16 ..Stop doing wrong.. 17 Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. 18 “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the LORD. “Though your sins [chet - wrongs, from chata - to miss, go wrong, wrongs] are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.. as white as wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land. 1:20 But if you turn away and refuse to listen, the sword devours. And accordingly has spoken the LORD. 

Part 1

1:1 These are the visions that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem during the years of four kings. (Listed in the verse.) 2 The LORD (God) has said, "Listen, oh heaven and earth! The children I raised have turned against me. (Israel is the micro, global is the macro.)

1 - Then I, John, saw another happening in the heavens that struck me with wonder. I saw seven angels [arrayed in pure white, vs.5] - I soon found out, they had the seven final afflictions [plรฉgรฉ - blows, wounds, strikes] - the “last” - for with them the wrath [thymos - passion] of God (cause and effect) is spent [teleos - to finish, complete, fulfill, the root tel means reaching the end (aim). It is well-illustrated with the old pirate's telescope, unfolding, extending out, one stage at a time to function at full-strength/capacity and effectiveness]. (The telescope “aims” - tel, the end-aim, cause, effect. Imo:) (An all important lesson “all in heaven and Earth” must learn right down to every molecule of the universe? So to speak.. Must fully understand? Vs. being an ant farm?) (Both prophecy and the kingdom->within and without, individually and collectively - extend from smaller scope to larger scope.)

     2 I saw something like a sea of glass - mingled with fire - and those who had prevailed over the beast and its image [eikรณn - image, statue, mirror-like representation, projection] and over the number of its name, were standing upon the sea of glass, each with a harp [kithara - lyre, harp, stringed instrument] of God. 3 And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God. And the song of the Lamb, saying “great and marvelous are your works oh Lord God the Almighty! Your ways are righteous and true oh King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear/revere you oh Lord! And glory in your name/reputation/character! You alone are holy! “All” nations will come and worship before you! Because the righteousness, and justice, of your acts has been revealed!”

     5 After this I looked, and in heaven, the temple of the tabernacle/tent (of) testimony was opened 6 and out came the seven angels with the seven afflictions. [The “LAST” afflictions.] They wore linen, pure and bright, with wide gold sashes at their chests [stethos]. 7 Then the four living creatures gave to the seven angels, seven gold bowls full of the wrath of God who lives from age to age. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and his power, and no one could enter the temple (God is grieving) until the seven afflictions of the seven angels were (was) finished. [Cross reference with verse 5, 11:19 - first and last of the seven thunders?๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️]

A Doubled Edged sWord?

     Mt.24:9 - “..you will be hated by all nations because of my name.” Spoken to Israel? But also, were they “believers”? Parallelism? History repeats, thus prophecy.. Even the word sword, a double! As in sword or sWord; sword of the world or of God.. which sword will we listen to? So important, yes? to “submit ourselves to the LORD” freely by our belief in all that happened with and to the Son. “Declared righteous” and innocent. Now his fruit growing in us.. Doesn’t hurt to put our heart into it. Jn.15,17; Rev.7:9,4 oR? Rev.17:5.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️ The kingdom progresses in peace. The violence.. and the cause and effect is on the part of mankind, Ps.2. (His ‘wrath’/“passion”, the bowls of Revelation, and some of the trumpets are obviously thermonuclear effects, Is.24:20.)

    Progresses in peace, leaven, not sword. Yet surely? That does not mean we should shrug our shoulders over great evils carried out and committed. But there’s this! We’re used to listening to the world! But it’s a whole matrix of genuine misinformation. Jesus said “take heed no one deceives you, they will even come in my name saying (acknowledging?) I am he..” So it’s not just one sort of voice coming at us. God’s voice is in the inner Quietness. Usually. Take care what we hear? We may not even want to take sides.. Be careful who we do align ourselves with? …What irony should we turn the sword upon ourselves.. Only one reason we would do that? Our guilty conscience has not really been appeased? ..So we sabotage ourselves.. and others.. Do you feel it? The pressure? What to say and not say. It penetrates? What to believe and not believe? Fruit or weed, it’s the nature of all things to grow.

14 I (John) looked and behold, a white cloud and one sitting upon it that looked like the Son of man (the manchild of chapter twelve, a stand alone history insert). On his head, a gold crown and in his hand a sickle (a harvest). 15 An angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he cried out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Put in your sickle and reap! For the harvest crop has ripened!” 16 And the one upon the cloud swing his sickle and the Earth was harvested. 17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, having a sharp sickle as well. 18 And another angel from the altar, who has power over *fire* called in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Put in your sharp sickle and gather the cluster from the vine of Earth, for the grapes of it have fully ripened. 19 And the angel put in his sickle and harvested the grapes snd cast them into the great winepress of God’s wrath (cause and effect, the Armageddon Valley battle). 20 Then the press was trampled *outside the city* and blood (oil?) flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 180 miles.

Review - an outline and order (esp. vs.8,9) ..an angel flying in midair ..”stand in awe of God ..worship him who made the Heavens and the Earth and the Sea and the springs of water.”

8 A second angel followed saying, “’Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’ which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her immoralities.” 9 Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark (Dn.12:12?) on the forehead or on the hand 10 will have to drink the full cup of God’s “passion” [greek thumos] mixed undiluted. (See? he is letting things run their full course. Otherwise, for creation there’s two other options? Total Ant Farm - which I always want to capitalize๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️? Or sooner or later, each one, sometime, being bound to think, say, or do something that is less than Perfect, thus becoming imperfect opposite of God who is Life and “is perfect”. Each one straying in their own time. How to convince every thinking being that it can never work, than to let it run its full course? “The smoke of it will rise forever” - in every heart and psyche! Because Rev.21 shows a whole new universe.. A (fieRy) universal ReGenesis occurs. The smoke rising from the impossible way therefore has to be spiritual, in the forever memories. A forever “abhorring” of the carnal, self first way. You think God pronounced a curse over Eve? For instance. No he was prophesying. This is the war of good and evil. God’s kingdom progresses in peace (Mt.13:33) but on mankind’s part, is the violence, Ps.2. It’s not all flowers and daisies (like the coming afterwards Kingdom) but is a harsh and unavoidable truth and lesson. Truth is an iron (measuring) rod. Uh oh, I totally mixed up my parenthesis.) Rest of the verse “All the world is a stage” (Shakespeare, not the bible, lol.) 10b “and will be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and the Lamb.” (The “full cup not diluted” - obviously is the Revelation bowls. Which bowls, and some of the trumpets, are obviously thermonuclear effects! The root word of logic, is logos!) 11 “And the smoke of the torment of them to ages of ages goes up, and not do they have [echรณ - to have, hold] peace day and night, those worshiping the beast and the image of it, and if anyone receives the mark of its name." 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. [Another version - “This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.”] 13 And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying "Write, 'Blessed are the dead dying in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "so that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them." (After Babylon which sits on seven hills/continents - a final modern global $ity and system, riding/partnered with the beast - falls, comes the mark {Dn.12:11-12 with Lk.19:41,44, a math problem-and on that 1,335th day comes Mt.13:30, which is Rev.16:13-16 and 2Thes.1:7,8.

Remember the book is symbols representing literals.

 1 -  And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred forty-four thousand who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound [phonen - voice or sound] from heaven as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of loud thunder. And the sound I heard was like many harpists on their harps. 3 And they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been purchased from the earth. 4 These are the ones who have not been defiled [molรฝnล - literally - besmeared with mud] (making murky?) with woman (goddess plus evolution spirit?) for they are (truth) virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been purchased from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 No lie [pseudos] is found in their mouths, they are blameless. 6 Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven (where the larger birds fly?) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship the One who made the heaven and the earth, and sea and springs of water.”
