Isaiah
Isaiah 5:14 - 6:13
pages 1-12.
Last Letter, we finished with
Isaiah 5:13 which was at the end of God delivering His message dealing with the
‘woes’. Many of God's people were then during Isaiah’s time, and are today,
in a terrible state, because "they have no knowledge" of His Holy
Word, and therefore have fallen into a state of degradation. When God
says that His people have ‘no knowledge’, He is not referring to
material knowledge of the world, but to knowledge eternal, of His Word Jesus
Christ, Which gives true knowledge of our
previous existence, the reason
why we were born in this flesh body, and the ultimate end of this age, and the start of the
next. How can material knowledge of the world compare with
this Divine Knowledge from our Father? It won’t even come close.
In this sense, material knowledge should be considered as ‘tools’ necessary
for sustenance in the flesh body that may be acquired, upgraded, discarded,
etc., for survival; but His Knowledge feeds our souls, and makes us
‘breathe’. The ‘tools’ of this world are temporary and will in one
day all be gone, but His Word has and will last forever! In today’s world, we have become a bunch of ‘techno
junkies’. Many have expertise in high technological fields that requires years
of specialized training, but many of these have no ‘true knowledge’ that will
preserve their soul. Just going to Church to socialize won’t get It either.
As you can see with the previous
verse of Isaiah 5:13; God’s people are not being
taught His Word, for there are no real leaders of the people. How
about today friend? Nothing has really changed, except new inventions that are
supposed to free up time, but instead entrap us all the more.
Let's continue with our Father's Word in given to
Isaiah the prophet as we ask a blessing from Jehovah for understanding in
Christ Yeshua's Name, Amen.
Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and
opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and
their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
This word
‘hell’
is Sheol
in the Hebrew and it's also translated to ‘grave’ or burying place in some KJV
verses. You could consider this as Hades or the abyss if you wanted; the
message of this verse can also point to that place in heaven across the gulf
opposite from God, called Hades or hell
Luke 16:19-31: 19: There
was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared
sumptuously every day:
God is expressing that since His
people ‘have no knowledge’, the ‘grave’, which is normally four
by six feet, is enlarged to accommodate a multitude, much like a mass burial
grave. The sense of this message here is that of being 'spiritually
dead', without True knowledge from God's
Word. And again, this message is mainly to the 'leaders of
the people', the priests and the rulers. How are things today in those
groups? Do we have responsible leadership today? Can we find God's Law being
followed starting at the top and reaching downward to the people? Does our
leadership of today set just examples, following God's moral Law, and if not,
how long ago in this nation did a righteous condition amongst our leaders as a
whole exist?
Isa 5:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and
the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
Isa 5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in
judgment, and GOD That is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
Has
this happened yet? No, so this is yet
future. It will happen when The True
Messiah returns to start His reign upon this earth, which is God’s
Millennium. It is written in...
Philippians 2:10: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under
the earth.
