(Isaiah 33)
Woe to you, O
destroyer (Satan),
You who have not
been destroyed!
Woe to you, O
traitor, you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop
destroying, you will be destroyed;
When you stop
betraying, you will be betrayed.
O Lord, be gracious
to us; we long for you.
Be our salvation in
time of distress.
At
the thunder of your voice, the peoples flee;
When
you rise up, the nations scatter.
Your plunder, O
nations is harvested as by young locusts;
Like a swarm of
locusts men pounce on it.
The Lord is exalted,
for he dwells on high;
He will fill Zion
with justice and righteousness.
He will be the sure
foundation for your times,
A rich store of
salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the
Lord is the key to this treasure.
Look, their brave
men cry aloud in the streets;
The envoys of peace
weep bitterly.
The highways are
deserted, no travelers are on the roads.
The treaty is
broken, its witnesses are despised, no one is respected.
The land mourns and
wastes away, Lebanon is ashamed and withers;
Sharon is like the
Arabah, and Bashan and Carmel drop their leaves.
'NOW
WILL I ARISE,' says the Lord.
'Now will I be
exalted; now will I be lifted up.
You conceive chaff,
you give birth to straw;
Your breath is a
fire that consumes you.
The
peoples will be burned as if to lime;
Like cut thornbushes
they will be set ablaze.'
You who are far
away, hear what I have done;
Acknowledge my
power!
The sinners in
Zion are terrified; trembling grips the godless;
'Who of us can
dwell with the consuming fire?
Who
of us can dwell with everlasting burning?'
He who walks
righteously and speaks what is right,
Who rejects gain
from extortion
And keeps his hand
from accepting bribes,
Who stops his ears
against plots of murder
And shuts his eyes
against contemplating evil--
This is the man who
will dwell on the heights,
Whose refuge will be
the mountain fortress.
His bread will be
supplied and water will not fail him.
Your eyes will
see the king in his beauty
And view a land that
stretches afar.
In your thoughts you
will ponder the former terror:
'Where is that chief
officer?
Where is the one who
took the revenue?
Where is the officer
in charge of the towers?'
You
will see those arrogant people no more,
Those people of an
obscure speech,
With their strange,
incomprehensible tongue.
Look
upon Zion, the city of our festivals;
Your
eyes will see Jerusalem,
A
peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
Its
stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken.
There
the Lord will be our Mighty One.
It will be like a
place of broad rivers and streams.
No mighty ship will
sail them.
For the Lord is our
Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver,
The Lord is our
king; It is he who will save us.
Your rigging hangs
loose:
The mast is not held
secure, the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of
spoils will be divided
And even the lame
will carry off plunder.
No one living in
Zion will say, 'I am ill';
And the sins of
those who dwell there will be forgiven.
(Isaiah 33, NIV)
Every Christian
should understand the Utter Futility
Of the Machinations of
the Nations, today.
It is all for Nothing!
Yes, they will become
even more Wicked;
Yes, they will have
their “god” the Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist;
Yes, the Whole World
will worship him and receive his “mark;”
Yes, the Apostates will
Desert Christ Jesus,
ALL AS SCRIPTURE HAS
FORETOLD--AND THEN WHAT?
Then God Almighty
Arises and brings an END to all of them!
For Three and One-half
years he brings them to an Ignoble END.
At the Last moment of
TIME; at The Battle Of Armageddon;
Christ Jesus will
return and Defeat ALL the armies of the World;
He will Establish His
Kingdom in Jerusalem on Mount Zion
And all the Righteous
ones will be with Him;
Everyone whose name is
written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE;
And they will Rule and
Reign with Him FOREVER!
Christ Jesus warned us:
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!
