The City of Confusion is Broken Down |
Isaiah 24:1-23 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
[Watch,] the Lord makes the earth empty & waste [lands] & turns it [topsy-turvy, a.k.a. upside down,] & scatters [its] inhabitants abroad. |
It shall be, [like it is] with people & [also] with the: priest, [like] with the servants, [also] with his master, [like] with the maid, [also] with her mistress, [like] with the [customer, also] with the [merchant, like] with the lender, [also] with the borrower, [like] with the taker [who charges high rates of interest] & [also] with the giver [who pays the high rates of interest] to him. |
[Ezekiel 6:6-8 In all your dwelling places, the cities shall be laid [to] waste & made desolate. And your idols [shall] be broken & [ended] & your images [shall] be cut down & your works [shall] be abolished. |
And the [dead] shall fall in the midst of you & you shall know that I Am the Lord. Yet, I will leave a remnant, [so] that you may have some, [who] shall escape the sword, among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.] |
The land shall be [totally] emptied & [plundered.] For the Lord has spoken this Word. The earth mourns & [slowly disappears.] The world languishes & fades away. The [arrogant] people of the earth do [become feeble.] |
[Isaiah 25:11 And [the Lord] shall spread [out] His hands in the midst of them, [like someone who] swims spreads [out] his hands to swim. And He shall [reduce] their pride [along] with the plunder] of their hands.] |
The earth is also defiled under [its] inhabitants; because they have [sinned against] the Laws & changed the ordinance & [have] broken the everlasting covenant [contract.] [Daniel 7:24-26 And the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that shall [emerge.] And another shall [emerge] after them & he shall be [different] from the 1st & he shall [defeat] 3 kings. |
And he shall speak [arrogant] words against the Most High & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change the times & Laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time + times + the dividing of time [in ½.] But the judgment shall sit & they shall take away his dominion, to consume & to destroy it [until] the end.] |
Therefore, the curse devoured the earth & [those who] dwell [in there] are desolate. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned & few men [are] left. The new wine mourns, the vine [withers] & all the merry-hearted do sigh. |
[Jeremiah 44:8 In that you provoke Me to [anger] with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, [where you have] gone to dwell, [so] that you may cut yourselves off & that you might be a curse & a [disgrace] among all nations of the earth?] |
The [joyfulness of tambourines stops] & the [sound] of [those who] rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases. They shall not drink wine with a song & strong drink shall be bitter to [those who] drink it. The city of confusion is [run] down & every house is [closed off, so] that no man may come in [it.] |
There is [out cry] for wine in the streets. All joy is darkened & the [happiness] of the land is gone. In the city, desolation is left & the [gates are struck] with destruction. |
When it shall be [like this] in the midst of the land among the people, [it] shall be [like] the shaking of an olive tree & [like] the gleaning of grapes, when the vintage is done. They shall lift up their [voices] & they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord & they shall cry [out loudly] from the sea. |
[For this reason,] you glorify the Lord in the [dawning light,] even the Name of the Lord God of Israel in the [coastal islands] of the sea. From the [most distant] part of the earth, we have heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My [thinness, my thinness,] Woe unto me! |
The treacherous [merchants] have dealt treacherously. [Yes,] the [deceitful merchants] have [behaved untrustworthy.] Fear, the pit, [a.k.a. grave] & the [trap,] are upon you, O [inhabitants] of the earth. |
[Jeremiah 48:35-36 [Additionally,] I will cause Him [who makes offerings] in high places & him [who] burns incense to his gods, to [stop.] Therefore, [My] heart shall sound like pipes for Moab & [My] heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: because the riches that he has gotten [have] perished.] |
And it shall [happen,] that he [who] flees from the [sound] of fear, shall fall into the pit. And he [who] comes up out of the [middle] of the pit, shall be [caught in a trap.] For the windows from on high are open & the foundations of the earth shake. [Isaiah 29:6 You shall be visited [by] the Lord of Hosts with thunder, with earthquake, [loud] noise, with [a] storm & tempest & the flame of devouring fire.] |
The earth is [totally ] broken down. The earth is [exceedingly] shaken & is [totally] dissolved. [2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a [loud] noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth & the works that are [in it] shall be burned up. |
[Since] all these things shall be dissolved, what [type of people should] you be, in all holy conversation & godliness, looking [toward & speeding along] the coming of the day of God, [in which] the heavens on fire, shall be dissolved & the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [Still,] we look for new heavens & a new earth, [in which] righteousness dwells, according to His promise.] |
The earth shall real [back & forth] like a drunkard & shall be removed like [an old] cottage & the [sins of it,] shall be heavy upon it. And it shall fall & not rise again. And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall punish the [hosts]of the high ones, that are on high & the kings of the earth, upon the earth. |
[Daniel 8:9-13 And out of one of them came [forward] a little horn, which [grew exceedingly] great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host & stars to the ground & stamped upon them. |
[Yes,] he magnified himself, even to the prince of the host & by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away & the place of His sanctuary was cast down. And by reason of transgression, an host was given him, against the daily sacrifice & it cast down the Truth to the ground & it [rehearsed] & prospered. |
Then, I heard one saint speaking & another saint said, [to the 1st] saint, [who spoke,] How long shall [it] be [until] the vision [about] the daily sacrifice & the transgression of desolation, [of] both the sanctuary & the host to be [trampled under foot?] |
And they shall be gathered together, [like] prisoners are gathered in the pit & shall be shut up in the prison & after many days, they shall be [punished.] Then, the moon shall be [confused] & the sun ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts shall [rule] in Mount Zion & in Jerusalem & before the ancients gloriously. |
