Isaiah
Isaiah 14:1 - 14:12 pages 1-11.
The last Chapter of
Isaiah gave us a Message about the destruction of Babylon. It was
historical with Cyrus and Darius causing a literal destruction of the
geographical Babylon, but is given as a blueprint for how it will happen again.
But this next time, it will apply to the Babylonian 'beast' system spoken of
in Rev.13 & 17. That last system is not complete yet
today, as it must have their false king present to finish it, and he will come
in this last generation of flesh upon the earth, the generation of the fig
tree. This fake king is none other than Lucifer, Satan himself, playing the
role of 'a spurious Messiah'
(Matt.24:24 in the Greek).
Some have tried to teach that The Book of
Revelation was not really penned by John the Apostle, but by some other John
who lived centuries later. Others have even tried to say that Revelation
doesn't belong with our Holy Bible, mainly because of all the different
symbology in contrast to the rest of The New Testament. And still others would
even say that Revelation was written by a pagan because of all the
symbols! But those of you who have been studying with me here
in Isaiah, you know those remarks to be all lies! Even more, those who have taken the time to verify what little
documentation I've given from Revelation in this Study of Isaiah, you now could
just about teach half The Book of Revelation to others. Add just the first six
Chapters of Genesis to it, and you could teach another big part of Revelation.
How terrifically silly... those previous false statements about Revelation
not being given by Jesus Christ through His Apostle John, now sounds.
This Chapter 14 is going to reveal to us this Lucifer as
the false king of the future Babylon, and how he and that 'beast'
system will be defeated when Jesus Christ comes with the 'brightness
of His coming' (2 Thess.2).
We ask a Word of Wisdom from our Father in Christ Jesus' Name, Amen.
Isa
14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose
Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers
shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
'Jacob' in this verse means all twelve tribes of Israel, which
does not apply only to Jews. The Jewish
people make up only one tribe, i.e. Judah, from all twelve. The
'house of Judah' now resides in the middle-east state called Israel, along with
Benjamin and Levi joined with them. The other Ten Tribes were scattered
abroad along with other Jews, and most of Judah knows this.
The phrase 'and will yet choose Israel' refers
to the putting back together of the scattered ten tribes called the 'house of
Israel' in God's Word, and the 'house of Judah', into one Israel again, as it
was before the split recorded in...
I & II Kings
(also see Ezek.37). The two sticks.
That joining has not
happened yet today, as today's nation state of Israel has no 'king' over them
(see the Lost Tribes study). The lost tribes, which are not lost to our
Father, will be joined back to their 'own land' in Israel. These
'strangers' are the Gentiles who accept Christ as God's Saviour also. This is
truly what the 'gathering' by Christ at His Second Advent means.
Isa
14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place:
and the house of Israel shall
possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall
take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their
oppressors.
It's very important to note this term "house
of Israel" here.
This verse did not completely happen during the time of Cyrus. Do you know
why that is true? If you'll remember your Bible history as given in Ezra, only
a portion of the 'house of Judah' returned back to Jerusalem after the Babylon
captivity. The 'house of Israel'
remained in captivity to Assyria and are not mentioned in the Book of Ezra, and
were further scattered among the countries and nations, forming the Western
Christian Nations of today.
For our future, this verse refers to when God gathers His elect from the four
corners of the earth, setting them up as His People again, in the land He
gave them. These 'servants
and
