AWAKE , AWAKE, CHURCH OF GOD

(Isaiah 52)

Awake, awake, O Zion [Church of God], clothe yourself with strength.

Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, the Holy City.

The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again.

Shake off your dust; ruse up, sit Enthroned, O Jerusalem.

Free yourself from the chains on your neck,

O captive Daughter of Zion.

For this is what the Lord says:

'You were sold for Nothing, and without money you will be Redeemed.'

For this is what the SOVEREIGN Lord says:

'At first My people went down to Egypt to live;

Lately, Assyria has oppressed them.

'And now what do I have here?' declares the Lord.

'For My people have been taken away for Nothing,

And those who rule them mock.' declares the Lord.

'AND ALL DAY LONG MY NAME IS CONSTANTLY BLASPHEMED.

Therefore My people will know My Name;

Therefore in THAT DAY they will know

That it is I Who foretold it. YES, it is I.'

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those

Who bring good news, who proclaim PEACE,

Who bring Good Tidings, Who Proclaim Salvation,

Who say to Zion, 'YOUR GOD REIGNS!'

LISTEN! YOUR WATCHMEN LIFT UP THEIR VOICES;

Together they SHOUT FOR JOY.

When the Lord returns to Zion they will see it with their own eyes.

BURST INTO SONGS OF JOY TOGETHER, you ruins of Jerusalem,

For the Lord has comforted His people, He has Redeemed Jerusalem.

THE LORD WILL LAY BARE HIS HOLY ARM

In the sight of ALL the Nations,

And ALL the ends of the earth will see the SALVATION of our God.

DEPART, DEPART, GO OUT FROM THERE! [Depart from Babylon]

Touch no unclean thing! [All that Babylon hold dear]

Come out from it and be PURE VESSELS of the Lord.

But you will not leave in hast or go in flight;

For the Lord will go before you,

The God of Israel will be your Rear Guard. (Isaiah 52:1-12)

TODAY, this is the message God Almighty, the SOVEREIGN Lord,

Is speaking to His people, to His Church!

Awake, Awake, Church of God clothe yourself with strength.

Put on your Garments of Splendor,

The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again

And will be purged from you.

Shake off your dust, come back to your First Love;

Rise up, sit Enthroned, Church of God.

FREE YOURSELF from all the chains of the Evil One;

Remain a Captive no more.

For those who have surrendered to the culture around them

Have NOTHING of value

And those who rule them [the Secular Humanists, and all the godless]

MOCK them.

Because the people of God have surrendered to the Culture around them,

ALL DAY LONG GOD'S NAME IS BLASPHEMED.

YET, A DAY IS COMING that will change EVERYTHING--FOREVER!

The Scripture has foretold it.

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News,

Who Proclaim the PEACE that is coming with the Millennium;

Who bring Good Tidings, Who Proclaim SALVATION,

Who say to the Church of God, “Your God REIGNS!”

LISTEN YOUR WATCHMEN LIFT UP THEIR VOICES;

Those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church;

TOGETHER THEY SHOUT FOR JOY.

When Christ Jesus RETURNS for His Church

They will see it with their own eyes.

BURST INTO SONGS OF JOY TOGETHER, you Remnant of God,

For Christ Jesus is coming to COMFORT His people;

Those He had Redeemed from this Wicked World.

THE LORD WILL LAY BARE HIS HOLY ARM

In the sight of ALL the Nations, as Scripture has foretold,

AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH WILL SEE THE SALVATION

Of our God.

DEPART, DEPART from Babylon,

From the Heart-set and Mind-set of the Wicked Culture that surrounds you.

TOUCH NO UNCLEAN THING!

Come out from it and be PURE,

YOU WHO ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD; 

Who are the Temple of God's Spirit.

But do not worry, you will not leave in haste

When Christ Jesus comes for you;

FOR THE LORD WILL GO BEFORE YOU,

The God of His Church and of Israel will be your Rear Guard.

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
