Isaiah 13:1 - 13:22 pages 1-16

  Isaiah Chapters 11 & 12 were given as a comfort for God's People during Isaiah's time, and to all at this time, the last generation of flesh, upon earth. Isaiah 12 lets us know that God will dwell with us upon this earth in the final earth age, and we are to declare that fact proudly and openly, even today, with boldness!  Those last two Chapters revealed the first coming of Messiah, and also for us today, the coming of Jesus Christ at the Second Advent, and the thousand year reign by Him and His elect upon the earth, and even into God's eternity, the third earth age (aion). So how are you doing here in The Old Testament? Do you now understand that much of The Old Testament has not yet come to pass even today?  Can you also understand that by passing up the prophets of The Old Testament why the Book of Revelation can get a little confusing? There's 66 Books in our Holy Bible, between Old and New Testaments, and 66 Chapters in this Book of Isaiah.  Do you think there might be something to that, or is it just a coincidence from man's hand?
     Isaiah 13 is a Message from our Father about what He did to the Babylon kingdom by 'His 'anointed' which He surnamed 'Cyrus.'

 

Isa.45:1: Thus saith the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden ,to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

 

. God used Cyrus to destroy Babylon and subdue all nations given him by God, and he helped carry out our Father's Will in re-establishing Jerusalem and The Temple. This all happened historically after the Babylon captivity of the 'house of Judah' for the 'seventy years'. But for us today, we want the 'blueprint' which Cyrus represents, which will be the destruction of this Babylon World Order system which is nearly upon us today. So I'm going to cover both together at the same time, leaning towards the latter days. We ask a Word of Wisdom from our Father in Christ's Name, Amen.

 

Isa 13:1   The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

     This word 'Babylon' is 'baw-bel' in Hebrew, and means 'confusion' (Strong's no.894). If you've read my Genesis study, I covered a little about the Assyrian cuneiform Tablets, and the Babylonia of Cain's time, which I believe, was 'the land of Nod', east of EdenThat was the first major region in world history to set up the false worship of 'Baal', or 'bel', so I hope you see the association of this word with the last Babylon or 'bel' system which is the last world empire of Revelation. The prophet Isaiah was given this vision, which this verse declares.

 

Isa 13:2   Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

     God is telling Isaiah to give warning to the people, say it 'loudly', and shake your hand up in the air back and forth when speaking It, as a 'sent one' (Apostle) given authority!  Put a flag (banner, i.e. Ensign or Christ) upon a high mountain for all to see. This is in the same sense of Ezek.37:4 telling the 'dry bones' to hear The Word of God. Not man's word, God's Word, that's the difference.
     Well what Message from God's Word is He telling Isaiah to speak here?  That God is going to destroy Babylon!  As Cyrus and his host army were used historically to do it, how's this future Babylon 'beast' system going to be destroyed by God?  God will use His People to do it with His Word through the 'cloven tongue' spoken on Pentecost day by the Apostles.

 

Acts 2: 1...the day of Pentecost;  3...cloven tongues;  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel. Acts: 17-28; and 29-47
