Isa 15:8   For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

 

    'Eglaim' means double-pond, or double reservoir' (Strong's no. 97). One body of water is Pure; the other is muddy and desolate. The word 'Beerelim' means 'well of heroes' (Strong's no. 879).
    Who is supposed to be our 'Hero'?  Our Heavenly Father should be. He also is our Pure Waters of Life. So this verse is just continuing the turning away from our Father which Moab does, and they 'howl' because of their own 'falling away' from God. There ARE two ways, but only One is Right, and That Righteous Way is Our Father and His Son Jesus Christ. The other way is false, and for today, the deceived are those who follow idols and the world's knowledge, and not Knowledge of Christ.
     So which 'pond' do you want to wash your sins away in, Satan's pond which is full of stagnant and muddy water or one which is Pure, being Jesus Christ? Each must choose which, there is no middle road.

Isa 15:9   For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

     'Dimon' means a 'wasting', and as all these places of Moab, they are all referred to in a desolate state;   because they turn away from GOD and walk in Satan's camp. Moab's 'pond' of water is going to be full of blood because of their deceptions.
     The word 'lions' is singular 'a lion', put for wild beasts (Strong's no. 738). But you should know by now what this 'lion' is talking about, not literal wild beasts, but Satan and his host of 'beasts'. Even this last flesh world-government system is represented in God's Word by the word 'beast' in Revelation 13 and 17. And Satan and his children, the Kenite (sons of Cain), are also these 'wild beasts' which tear the soul apart of those who are deceived.
     And as for today's time, the deceptions by Satan as a false messiah are how the soul of many will be devoured. In this verse note that GOD is The One Who is bringing these 'beasts' upon those who remain apostate from our Father. They don't listen to His Word, but to 'systems' of men. They have no maturity in Christ, staying continuously on the 'milk' of Salvation and Baptism doctrine, and never going into the 'meat' of God's Word. And they couldn’t care less about who the Assyrian is today.

     This Message concerning Moab, as an example for today's time also, will continue in the next Chapter 16. It's really important to have some of the Bible Tools to translate these names. Much of God's Message in this Chapter could not have been understood, without translating these names from the Hebrew.

Peace be with you in Christ,
Dave Ramey.
