Isaiah
21:1 - 21:17
This next 'burden', the fifth so
far, is upon Babylon, named in this Chapter as "the desert of the sea."
But don't forget this is all
a 'blueprint' for today also, as God will trigger some of the
analogies of the end time Revelation prophecy within this. And I'll
go into depth with some of those deeper analogies from The Word within this
study, as we ask a Word of Wisdom from our Father Jehovah in Christ Yeshu'a
Messiah's Name, Amen.
Isa 21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As
whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a
terrible land.
This verse
is speaking of ancient Babylon, as it once was a covered marsh land with canals
and such. And the 'sea' (Hebrew 'yam') reference is to the Euphrates River.
There's a metaphor within this phrase "the desert of the sea",
for it's given in the sense of ancient Babylon's once greatness having become a
waste, a desolate desert, as the geographical Babylon (Iraq)today
certainly is.
So what's these 'whirlwinds' coming upon Babylon here, "from a terrible land"? It's the
armies of Persia and the Medes. Back in Isaiah 13 & 14 we were given another view of ancient
Babylon's prophetic destruction by Cyrus, one of God's anointed.
It also applies to today's 'New World Order',
the last Babylon system upon all the earth, covering all nations.
Isa 21:2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the
treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O
Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
This 'vision'
is given through God's prophet Isaiah. This 'treacherous dealer' is the Hebrew
word "baga" meaning 'to cover (with a garment);
figuratively, to act covertly; by implication, to pillage'
(Strong's no. 898).
So who do you think those are, who act
'covertly' among the Babylon world government hosts of today? (Kenites)Just
as that system of ancient Babylon covertly attacked those ancient nations,
likewise Satan's final Babylon system of today is doing the same, over
the whole earth, for that's how Satan works; covertly. What
about within the Church? Could it be happening there today also? I gave some
clues to this with that word 'MYSTERY', back in Isaiah 19.
"Elam", meaning 'eternity', is
used for the combined armies of Persia and the Medes sent against ancient
Babylon by our Father. Elam was the area of Elymais on the left opposite of
Babylon. "Go up" and conquer Babylon is the message.
Isa 21:3 Therefore are my loins filled
with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs
of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of
it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
21:4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the
night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
What are
these 'pangs of a
woman that travaileth'? Those who have studied with me should
know the analogy this has reference to. But for the sake of the new student,
I'm going to cover it a bit more here as to all these 'burden' messages
from our Father.
This analogy of a 'woman that travaileth' and 'pangs' is about the birth of a new age. For
us today, it's about the coming age of Christ's thousand year reign upon this
old earth.
Rev.20: Read All.
Most all Christians know this
birth pangs part of this analogy. But there's more. Turn with me back to Isaiah
13:6:
