Isaiah
Isaiah 9:1 - 9:21 Pages 1-10
The previous Chapter of Isaiah 8 was given to Isaiah by God to His People
then, and
to us also in these latter days, of 'all' believers on Jesus Christ as Saviour. Even though many of the warnings about
the Assyrian coming upon Israel was history, if one reads deeper there in
Isaiah 8, you should notice that some events given are not history yet, as
they haven't happened even to this day. Furthermore, that 'stone of stumbling' mentioned in... Isaiah 8:14
is
taught as a sign again, but much later than Isaiah's time, even by our Lord
Jesus Christ in...
Luke
20:17: And
He beheld them, and said, “What is this then that is written, The stone which the
builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?”Matt.21:42: And by Paul in Rom.9 and 11:
Also by Peter in I Peter 2:8:
Since
most of these ideas here in Isaiah are repeated much later in The Word, you
should realize they were given for us today also, and are not only historical.
A whole lot of information was given by God in that
last Chapter of Isaiah 8. We are told about the setting up of a 'confederacy' under a false leader, i.e., 'the Assyrian', which is Satan in the latter days
playing the role of 'a spurious Messiah'. This is who will bring a 'flood' of lies over the riverbanks, in an
attempt to engulf
'the
woman', Christ's Church. God's Message there to His People is for them
to have no fear of the 'smoking firebrands' that form this 'New World
Order', but fear Jehovah instead, our True Father. This means to listen to
Him, not man. It
truly is that easy. Those who choose not to listen to our Heavenly Father's
Word, following the 'babel' of man's systems of ideas, will become 'apostate',
'snared' and 'taken' by the false messiah 'utopia'
system soon to be fully established upon this earth in our lifetime.
Those of us alive today born after 1948 will see it happen. Am I saying that
I know the day when Christ returns? No, for not any know the 'day' or 'the
hour'. But, God's Word (Jesus Christ) has given us the 'season' of His
coming and the signs to look for (It has to do with 'the parable of the fig
tree' given by
our Lord and
Saviour
in...Matt.24:
Mark 13: Luke 21:
for
Jesus said there to learn it! See those two Studies in my Archives). This is why His People of all nations
are supposed to 'wait
upon the LORD',
for His coming, after the impostor Satan who is 'a spurious Messiah', the 'antichrist', which in reality means 'the instead of Christ' in the Greek (Strong's nos. 473 and
5547).
God also mentioned the idea of 'spiritism' there in Isaiah 8:19-20. Look
around. Try to tell me it isn't going on heavily today, and even in some
Churches which claim to belong to Christ, bringing in other anti-Christian
religious orders in the sense of 'religious brotherhood', doing Eastern
chants right in front of the Communion table of His Body. There are
even some Protestant Christians supplying Judaism with red heifers for
sacrifice in Israel. Both of those types of abominations are grave sin, in
not discerning The Lord's Body and the 'price' He paid for all upon the
cross, ending animal sacrifice for one and all time. Heb.9 and 10:
I
Cor.11: All this in the 'name' of religion; God's Truth is not a religion! Religion is man's system for doing and
appearing holy. That's why when one does away with all of man's 'dead weight'
in playing religion, and then believes and studies God's Word in Its
simplicity, The Holy Spirit starts to come in and you cannot be fooled. The
'veil' is taken off for you, while for many others it remains on. As our
Lord and Saviour said in...
John
8:31-32: "...if
ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed;
32: And ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
