Even after Christ Jesus came and died on the cross, and the scattered ten tribes of the house of Israel in the West began to finally come out of Baalism, they never completely succeeded in ridding themselves of all the Baal prophets and traditions of Baal. The LORD wants us to understand within this Chapter how such false prophets still exist today, operating like wolves in sheep's clothing, doing much of the misleading of His People. This is what He means with those among His People "that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit" (Isa.30:1).
     In reality, those false prophets can't do anything but sit still with their mouths open while money is thrown at them. They don't have God's Blessings of His Word in order to properly teach It. And if your teachers don't properly cover God's Word line by line, then how will you learn to receive God's Blessings? You'll wind up with those false prophets whose power is to sit still, without God's Blessings, and depending upon a false covering of deception instead.

Isa 30:8     Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9    That this is a rebellious People, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

     Now, for how we as individual believers are responsible in keeping to God's Word, instead of heeding the prophets of Baal (confusion). False teachers would have no chance to be heard unless many of the people wanted it so. Many of our brethren make their own 'choice' when they allow themselves to be diverted from God's Word, and instead listen to the traditions of men which make God's Word null and void. When believers heed false teachers that say Christ nailed all of God's Law to His cross that makes many think they are free to do almost anything, as long as they repent afterwards when they begin to feel guilty. Christ can cover all manner of sin;

 

 Matt.12:31. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

 

...but His covering is no excuse to sin.

 

 Hebrews 6: Read All.

 

 Such false attitudes allow sin to be piled on top of sin, and that's the situation which that false covering mentioned in Isaiah 30:1 creates. This is why our Father cited those beasts of burden that carry the riches and idols to try and supplant His Covering. His Word is how we receive His Covering; by understanding His Word and following His Law within His Commandments, Judgments, and Statutes is how we do that.

 

Matthew 19: Read All.

Romans Read All.

Isa 30:10     Which say to the seers, "See not;" and to the prophets, "Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

     Many of God's People say, "Don't preach to us right things, but sooth our ears with smooth sayings; let us know we're doing real good." Some Church systems will not allow all of God's Word to be taught to the congregation, because of fear of losing many members, or because of Church leaders fear of losing their retirement pensions. That in itself is proof of this Isaiah verse that many believers simply do not want to hear God's Truth full strength. The strength of man's systems today are in its number of members. But in Christ's Church, He is The Foundation and Strength which the members become joined into (Eph.4). Which will last eternally, men's systems, or Christ's Foundation? 1 Cor.3.So if you aren't being fed The Word in this line by line method by your Church, shouldn't you be asking why? (See Isaiah 28 again).

Isa 30:11     Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
