will happen in the twinkling of an eye, as Paul taught in I Cor.15. It happens on the 'last trump', which is when Jesus Christ returns, i.e. the Seventh Trumpet of Revelation. The words 'wind' and 'whirlwind' are references to the spiritual state that is to soon come upon the world.

Isa 17:14    And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

 

     This 'eveningtide' means at 'dusk' ('ereb in the Hebrew; Strong's no. 6153). This 'he is not' before the morning refers to Lucifer as the fake morning star being locked in the pit. The word 'trouble' is 'ballahah' in the Hebrew meaning 'alarm, hence, destruction' (Strong's no. 1091). That's when the earthquake and the destruction of the 'rudiments’ or 'elements' of this flesh age and world system are destroyed .

 

2 Peter 3: Read All.

     You should know who the 'spoiler' is in the previous Chapters of Isaiah. It represents Satan and his seed of iniquity, the sons of Cain. The destruction of that false kingdom when Christ's feet touch down on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem will begin the 'gathering' of God's elect (His sheep) to Him there, and the start of the casting to the 'outer darkness' of the 'goats'; which are those who follow and worship Satan as messiah.

 

Acts 1:

 

Zech.14:     Read All.

 

Matt.25:

 

     Chapter 18 continues this 'portion' of Isaiah 17:14, the Second Advent of Messiah Jesus Christ to earth, and the gathering to Him beginning His thousand year reign. It is specific to Ephraim and the ten tribes of Israel, which includes America. It will be covered next time.

Peace be with you in Christ Jesus,
