economy is and such. I remember a time in America when the head of the house could go out and make a fine living for a large family. Now, in the majority of households, both parents must work in order to keep the family afloat. And even that is failing with many. Check the stats, bankruptcies are on the rise. Family inheritances are subject to takeover by stupid and unrighteous laws. Foreign markets can make ours unstable. And 'fiat' money, which is paper money not backed by a lick of gold or silver, is churned out by the Fed every time some banker or third world government nears danger of going under. The bank's profits are always guaranteed as it comes out of our pockets through inflation by making more fiat money out of thin air. They present the lie to Congress that the nation's economy would go under if they didn't 'bail out' one of their third world socialist puppets, or banks. Guess who foots the bill? It’s you, the taxpayer. Ever do a total of all taxes and fees you pay in one year?  What's left after your salary?
     It is illegal according to our U.S. Constitution what they are doing with printing 'fiat' money with no gold backing it. (Likewise UK)

Isa 18:6    They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

     I hope you're getting a better understanding of what the 'beast' and 'mark of the beast' of Revelation is. That's exactly what a 'beast' does...devours everything. To 'winter' upon them means to strip them naked and put 'em out in the winter cold.
     Our Lord and Saviour gave us a Message about how 'fowls of the air' came and devoured up what the sower sowed 'by the way side'. That means sowing seed in hard untilled ground, much like a compacted trodden dirt path. Christ was teaching us there in.

 

 Mark 4:4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

 

 That the 'seed' is The Word of God, and those 'fowls' are a symbol for Satan's host. This subject here in Isaiah about the controls given to the 'beasts' (Satan's children;

 

Matt.13: Read All.

 

 ...Is partly what Jesus was teaching in Mark 4. That's what Satan's four dynasty system of world controls has done with deceiving so many away from God's Word. And thus the Birthright blessings God gave to His, who are deceived, get devoured up by Satan's 'fowls'. God's Blessings and following Him by knowing and doing His Word, go together; can't have one without the other.
     But this verse 6 is the time when our Saviour returns and the 'heavenly' fowls are turned on Satan and his beast system, bringing him and that system to a final destruction.

 

Rev.19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God.

 

Rev 18-21: Read All.

Isa 18:7    In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

    This 'present' is God's elect. These are gathered to the New Jerusalem when Christ returns. This word 'present' is the root 'shavah', meaning 'properly, to level, i.e. equalize' (Strong's no. 7737). They are the 'equalizer' which God utilizes to keep the 'playing field' according to His Plan. Even though the 'beasts' have mixed in and gotten control of many functions within the Western
