Isa 10:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, "O My people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Do you understand now why so many of the deceived peoples are still worried about the future, and fear this false kingdom now being set up? Many of their leaders don't properly teach The Word's relationship between Old and New Testaments. I've even been told of myself that I seemed to have a lot of learning in The Word, especially The Old Testament, like I was on some Torah mission or something, disregarding teachings in The New Testament. What ignorance of our Father's Word, for the Whole Word, both Old and New Testaments comprise God's Word. How can someone just study The New Testament without the Old? I don't have handy just how often, but The New Testament quotes The Old Testament in every Book. That means they both go together, even as Christ would say in...
Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of Me to do thy will, O God.
That He came 'in the volume of The Book', which by the way, was a direct quote from...
Psalms 40:7. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Thy will, O my God:
As far as I'm concerned, the lack of understanding in this matter between Old and New is due to pure laziness in our Father's Word, and shows a lack of sincerity to our Father. Therefore, no wonder they're still groping at false "secret rapture" doctrines, and arguing over petty useless meanings that have nothing to do with our Father's Word. Something as serious as a 'soul' which our Father created; should be treated with a bit more care than they give it don't you think? So they should be listening to Him and try finding a little more time to devote to studying His Word.
God is giving us a 'template' to follow with this verse. It is the template of what happened in Egypt and the Exodus, and this applies to 'all Israel', not just the one tribe of Judah. Both 'houses' are included, so this means the western Christian nations are also expected to use the example written of God delivering His People out of Egypt as a 'blueprint' for our near future also. If you haven't studied that time of Moses, I suggest you do it. Put your trust in God, as they also did, and were delivered. Question: Did the Israelites fear Pharaoh during that time, or God? If you said God, then don't fear this 'false messiah' of our future.
Isa 10:25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and Mine anger in their destruction.
God's saying, "Hang on My elect, a little while and it'll all be over." This is also His Message to us for today! Be strong of mind! Do your best not to allow yourself to be tempted, or swayed away from His Truth. Keep in It, though the majority are not. This doesn't mean we have to stay away from fellowship in a Church. I'm not teaching against God's True Church, i.e., the Body of Christ. But nowadays, with what little of God's Word that's taught in most Churches, you had better be busy filling in the 'gaps' on your own if needs be. And if you're serious with our Father, asking Him for guidance, and you do get down to study, get ready; for those who receive His deeper Truth today, He's definitely going to call on you to use It for Him. He's going to put you to work in 'the field', and it's a privilege that is worth more than any treasure, except Christ, especially today.
