God
speaks to His people today just as he spoke to Isaiah:
Isaiah
8:11-22 AMP
The
Lord spoke thus to me with His strong hand upon me,
And
warned and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people,
Saying, do not call
conspiracy [or hard, or holy]
All
that this people will call conspiracy [or hard, or holy];
Neither
be in fear of what they fear, nor [make others afraid and] in dread.
The
Lord of hosts, regard Him as holy and honor His holy name
[By
regarding him as your only hope of safety],
And
let him be your fear and let him be your dread
[Lest
you offend Him by your fear of man and distrust of Him].
And
He shall be for a sanctuary-–a sacred and indestructible asylum
[To
those who reverently fear and trust in Him];
But
for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense
To
both the houses of Israel (And to America today)
For
a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
(And
to America today)
And
many among them shall stumble thereon,
And
fall and be broken, and be snared and taken.
Bind
up the Testimony (God's Word),
seal the law and the teaching
Among
my [Israel's] disciples.
And
I will wait for the Lord,
Who
is hiding His face from the house of Jacob (And
from America today)
And
I will look for and hope in Him. (As
will all the faithful in America today)
Behold,
I and the children (the faithful
ones) whom the Lord has given me
Are
for signs and for wonders [that are to take place] in Israel
From
the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.
And
when the people [instead of putting their trust in God]
Shall
say to you, Consult for direction mediums and wizards
Who
chirp and mutter,
Should
not a people seek and consult their God?
Should
they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
[Direct
such people] to the Teaching and to the Testimony (of
God);
If
their teachings are not in accord with this Word (the
Word of God),
It
is surely because there is no dawn and no morning for them.
And
they [who consult mediums and wizards] shall pass through the land,
Sorely
distressed and hungry, they fret themselves,
And
curse their king and their God;
And
whether they look upward, or look to the earth,
They
will behold only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish;
And
into thick darkness and widespread, obscure night
They
shall be driven away.
Today,
this prophesy of Isaiah applies to America.
Today,
their is no future for a nation who has no fear of God,
But
relies on the wisdom of man in whom there is no wisdom.
For
them Christ Jesus is a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense.
Nevertheless,
for those who reverently fear and trust in Christ Jesus;
He
shall be an indestructible asylum for them.
The
Prophet says bind up the Word of God, for America will not
listen.
The
Lord is hiding His face from America
Because
of their rebellion against Him.
Nevertheless,
Christ Jesus will make His children a sign and a wonder
In
this day;
Christ
Jesus, Who will establish His Throne on Mount Zion
For
a thousand years after reducing the rebelling nations to nothing.
This
lost generation seeks for guidance from anywhere
But
from God Almighty; God is a foreigner to them;
He
is like a child's fairy tail.
Today,
the wisdom of man will prove to be worthless;
There
is no Light in it; it is deceived and it deceives.
They
have rejected God and His Christ, Jesus, the only Light that exists.
So
America will be sorely distressed and hungry;
And
when she is hungry she will fret herself,
And
curse her President, her leaders and God Almighty;
And
whether she looks upward, to Heaven, or to the earth
She
will behold only distress and darkness; The gloom of anguish;
And
into thick darkness and widespread, obscure night
She
shall be driven away.
Such
shall be the plight of America because she has forsaken her God,
The
God of her forefathers, and trusted in man.
Christ
Jesus said:
Do
not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather,
be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.
(Matthew
10:28)
He
is the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
The
God of Isaiah's day, is our God today, He has not changed!
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save
yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
