(Isaiah 24)
See,
the Lord is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it;
He will ruin its
face and scatter its inhabitants--
It will be the same
for priest as for people,
For master as for
servant,
For mistress as for
maid,
For seller as for
buyer,
For borrower as for
lender,
For debtor as for
creditor.
The
earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered.
The Lord has spoken
this word.
The World dries up
and withers,
The World languishes
and withers,
The exalted of the
earth languish.
The earth is Defiled
by its people;
They have Disobeyed
the laws, Violated the statutes
AND BROKEN THE
EVERLASTING COVENANT.
Therefore a curse
consumes the earth;
Its people must bear
their guilt.
Therefore
earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.
The new wine dries
up and the vine withers;
All the merrymakers
groan.
The gaiety of the
tambourines is stilled,
The noise of the
revelers has stopped,
The joyful harp is
silent.
No longer do they
drink wine with a song;
The beer is bitter
to its drinkers.
The ruined city lies
desolate;
The entrance to
every house is barred.
In the streets they
cry out for wine;
All
joy turns to gloom, all gaiety is banished from the earth.
The city is left in
ruins, its gate is battered to pieces.
So it will be on the
earth and among the nations,
As when an olive
tree is beaten,
Or as when gleanings
are left after the grape harvest.
They
raise their voices, they shout for joy;
From
the west they acclaim the Lord's majesty.
Therefore
in the east give glory to the Lord;
Exalt
the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,
In
the islands of the sea.
From
the ends of the earth we hear singing;
'Glory
to the Righteous One.'
[This is the Bride of
Christ, in the Desert, protected there by God [Rev. 12],
Rejoicing
over the defeat of the Enemies of God
In
the midst of The Great Tribulation.]
But I said, 'I waste
away, I waste away!
Woe to me!
The treacherous
betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!'
Terror
and pit and snare await you,
O
people of the earth.
Whoever flees at the
sound of terror will fall into a pit;
Whoever climbs out
of the pit will be caught in a snare.
The floodgates of
the heavens are opened,
The
foundations of the earth shake.
The
earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder,
The
earth is thoroughly shaken.
The
earth reals like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind;
So
heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls--
Never
to rise again.
IN THAT DAY the Lord
will punish the powers in the heavens above
And
the kings on the earth below.
They
will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
The moon will be
abashed, the sun ashamed;
For the Lord
Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And before its
elders, gloriously. (Isaiah 24)
Why
is all this Devastation going to happen?
Because
as in the Days of Noah:
The Lord saw how
great man's Wickedness on the earth had become,
And every
inclination of the thoughts of his heart
Was only Evil all
the time.
The Lord was grieved
that He had made man on the earth,
And His heart was
filled with pain.(Genesis 6:5,6)
Now the earth was
Corrupt in God's sight and was full of Violence.
God saw how Corrupt
the earth had become,
For ALL the people
on earth had Corrupted their ways.
So God said to Noah,
'I AM going to put and End to ALL people,
For the earth is
filled with Violence because of them.
I AM surely going to
destroy both them and the earth. (Genesis 6:11-13)
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's 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!
