Isaiah 30:1 - 30:33 Pages 1-14
Our
Heavenly Father's Message of how His People allow themselves to be deceived by
following other things instead of Him and His Word continues. In Isaiah 29 His
warning was upon Jerusalem for following falseness. In this 30th Chapter, God
gives a woe to the rebellious that trust in themselves, or in a lying spirit,
or the things of this world, instead of relying on His Counsel within His Word.
This is a long Bible study, as God gives us a whole lot of spiritual meat to
chew on in this Isaiah 30 Chapter, so let's get started, as we ask a Word
of wisdom from our Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen.
Isa 30:1 "Woe to the rebellious
children," saith the LORD, "that take counsel, but not of Me; and
that cover with a covering, but not of My spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Again, recall the covering of "kerchiefs"
and "pillows"
of Ezekiel 13 which men's traditions cause over the eyes and minds of God's
People. Those ignorant religious leaders were
referred to as "women"
that do the metaphorical sewing of coverings over believer's minds, casting the
"strong meat"
of God's Word away, and replacing It with something else.
If they do not seek God's counsel by His Spirit, as our Lord says here, then
of which 'spirit' do they listen? Not heeding God's Word, Chapter by
Chapter and line by line, is how the sins of His People really pile up today.
That other spirit is the spirit of antichrist.
1 John 4:3.
There is no third or
middle choice of which spirit to listen to; either we listen to God's Counsel
by His Spirit, or we default to the spirit of antichrist. And that lying spirit
of antichrist will bring upon the deceived a state of confusion (Babel). A
state of confusion is how sin upon sin continues in ignorance.
One of the main false doctrines
which our Lord mentioned in...
Ezekiel 13:17 forward;
Read All.
From those false
coverings is that of the 'fly away' doctrine. Many default to that false
doctrine of flying away to escape the coming great tribulation because simply,
they have not put on God's Covering of Knowledge from His Word. The
apostle Paul explained the Gospel Armour as the true Covering from our Lord,
per Ephesians 6. To put on the "whole
armour of God" (Eph.6:11>)
is so that a believer on Christ will be able to make a stand in the "evil
day", which is the latter days of tribulation
by a false messiah. If you have been studying with me, it
is my hope in Christ that you are coming into God's Covering of Knowledge
within His Word. Therein we rest in the Victory of Christ through His Word, and
That Rest in Christ Jesus is not of me, nor of any man.
Isa 30:2 That walk to go down into
Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength
of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Historically, Hoshea at Samaria, a king over the "house
of Israel" (ten tribes) during the time of Ahaz
king of Judah, did give presents to the king of Assyria while seeking
Egypt's help to fight against the Assyrian.
2 Kings 17: Read All.
The king of Assyria
discovered the plot, and then came upon the capital city of the ten tribes
named Samaria. That event began part of the ten tribe's captivity to the cities
of the Medes (north of Babylon), being taken out of the northern lands of old
Israel.
And
those historical events are a type for the latter days. The difference is of today's
"house of Israel" (ten tribes of the western Christian nations) going into
deception by the latter day type for the Assyrian, which is a symbol for the
antichrist
