God is closing this portion of prophecy which is shown by the end quotation mark at the end of this verse. God is telling all that the one world government freaks can hold all kinds of United Nation meetings, in other words, work themselves silly trying to bring the 'beast' political system into reality, but He is going to break it down. You should know what the end of the verse "GOD is with us" is referring to by now. It is Immanu-El in the Hebrew, which is to say, Jesus Christ, for Christ's second coming is how this New Babylon World Order system will be defeated; by the Sword of His Mouth.

 

Isa 8:11   For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this People, saying,
12    "Say ye not, 'A confederacy,' to all them to whom this People shall say, 'A confederacy;' neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

     This message is directly from God to His People, STRONGLY, in importance, to those with 'eyes to see and ears to hear', His that carry His Truth. His 'Message' here is this: BELIEVE on GOD; TRUST in GOD; put your FAITH in GOD; Have no 'fear' of this 'confederacy'; don’t Listen to it; don’t panic when others without panic; for GOD IS WITH US, 'IMMANU-EL'.
     Notice God is telling Isaiah not to be part of believing in this 'A confederacy' which 'this People' will be proclaiming? Well who's 'this People' God is referring to? That word is capitalized for a reason, for it means God's People that are deceived into accepting this false 'one world Babylon New World Order' system. This is why those of 'this People' are labelled 'MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH'.

 

 Rev.17:5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH,

 

. Well, how can many of God's People be called that? Because they listen to many false teachings instead of getting into their Father's Word, following Satan's false ministers.

and all of them together (Satan's children along with many of God's deceived People) set up a 'one world religion' claiming that the true Christ has returned, and that he's over there in Jerusalem, claiming it's time to gather up his children, who represent God's Temple today. Remember the words of our Lord Jesus in...

 

 Mark 13:21: "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:"

 Translate the phrase 'false Christs' in the next verse of Mark 13:22 using your Strong's Concordance, for it means 'a spurious Messiah', not many different people claiming to be Jesus as popularly taught, which instead are the 'false prophets' early in that same Chapter. Many teachers of The Word miss that by one 'notch', not going back to the Greek manuscripts. It's a very important 'notch' too, because one click off on understanding that verse, and you'll be worshipping Satan as Jesus, instead of waiting for the True Bridegroom Who 'tarries', Which is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Isa 8:13   Sanctify the LORD of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.

     This word 'fear' is 'mowra' in the Hebrew and it also means 'to reverence' (Strong's no. 4172).  The LORD is our 'Strength', and He is the One who will tear down the 'smoking firebrands' of this New World Order.

 

Isa 8:14   And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
