Where upon His head are beautiful crowns (diadem). So far, all this should be enough Scripture evidence to know this Isaiah Scripture still holds a prophecy for the future time of Christ's return

 

Isaiah 62: Read All.


    
This "residue of His people" represents those who stay on Him in His Word, and don't allow themselves to be deceived by the false one. Those who stay true to Christ Jesus are given to "turn the battle to the gate". That means to take the battle to the enemy (antichrist and his).

 

 Ephesians 6: Read All.

 

 Believers are told how to do that in order to make a 'stand' in the "evil day" (i.e., first tribulation by Satan). We are to withstand all the "fiery darts" of the wicked .That is not done with weapons of man, but by God's Word with faith on Him through His Son Jesus Christ. To understand more on 'how' we are expected to make that 'stand' per God's Word, study the Babylon captivity events in the Book of Daniel, specifically of the cause for which Daniel and his brethren were delivered up to the king of Babylon.

Isa 28:7    But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

     Who are these "they" who have also erred through wine? Recall back to Isaiah 7 when Ephraim and Syria were historically together against the "house of Judah" which dwelt at Jerusalem. God had told Ahaz, the king of Judah at that time, not to be concerned about Ephraim's false alliance with Syria, for Ephraim (Northern Kingdom of Israel of the ten tribes) would cease from being a kingdom once the Assyrian got done with it. That's when the "house of Israel" soon began to be "trodden down" and taken captive to the land of the Medes. Not long thereafter, the "house of Judah" also began falling away from our Lord into false worship. Around 130 years later, it would become the 'house of Judah's turn to be trodden down by false ones, and taken captive to the land of Babylon

 

Jer.3: 2. Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

 

Lien; means Shagal pronounced Shaw-gal, (Strong’s No 7693) to copulate with, Lie with, Ravish.

 

 Kings 23:27: And the Lord said,” I will remove Judah also out of My sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said , My Name shall be there.”

 

Jer.7:11:15; Read All.

Jer.25: Read All.

 Jer.52:27. And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away out of his own land.


     This Message of having "erred through wine, and through strong drink" is in relation to the crown of pride idea which Isaiah 28:1 pointed out. It is to many from both 'houses' of Israel. That Message was covered back at Isaiah 8:13-14 of both 'houses' who stumble at God's Word, and He becomes "a rock of offence" to them. Our Lord Jesus Christ has become a 'Rock of offence' to many who stumble by still refusing Him as The Saviour.
