Fear God Not Man!


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!
