This Message here in Isaiah 15 is a blueprint to those who are scared of the idea of this first tribulation, because of listening to false prophets, and not Jehovah. We've already been given much evidence in the last few Chapters of Isaiah that all will be here through this first tribulation event. And further along in this Great Book of Isaiah, GOD is going to let us know that standing in His Knowledge, in Him, during this first tribulation, and not doing like Moab, means being totally without 'fear'! Our Father is allowing this tribulation, and He is in control of Satan, so if you're following Christ in His Word, hey... we have the Victory and know when It is due! Our Father then, is not angry with those who 'stand' in Him, because we know what's expected of us during the tribulation by listening to His Word, and most of all, we know He is with us. Isa 15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. 'Nimrim' means 'clear waters'. Who is The Pure Waters of Life? GOD is. So these who have no knowledge, or trust in Jehovah and His Son during today's times, their once pure water has become muddy and undrinkable (desolate). The same analogy applies to their 'bread', which is supposed to be Christ the Bread of Life. The 'green thing', 'hay', and 'grass' in this verse are all symbols for food. Remember Amos 8 where God said the 'famine' in the end time is not one for literal 'bread' or 'thirst for water', "...but of hearing the words of The LORD." Amos 8:11: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: Rev.8:7: The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Jer.48:34: From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. This description of a withering is about the 'great apostasy' of God's People. The word 'brook' is 'nachal' in the Hebrew meaning 'a narrow valley', and 'willows' is 'Arab' in the Hebrew meaning 'to traffic or intermix' (Strong's nos. 5158;6155;6148). It can also be translated as 'valley of the Arabians'. |
