More About How It Will Bet Then

Isaiah 4:1-6                               The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

And [on] that day, 7 women shall take hold of 1 man, saying We will eat our own bread & wear our own [clothing.] Only let us be called by your name, to take away our [disgrace.]

[On] that day, the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful & glorious. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent & [lovely to those] of Israel, [who] have escaped. [Zechariah 6:11-13 Then, take silver & gold & make crowns & [put] them upon the head of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high priest. And speak to him, saying, The Lord of Hosts [says this, Watch for,] the Man Whose Name is The BRANCH. ]

And He shall grow up out of His place & He shall build the temple of the Lord. Even He shall build the temple of the Lord & He shall bear glory & shall sit & rule upon His throne. And He shall be a priest upon His throne & the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

And it shall [happen,] that he, [who] is left in Zion & he [who] remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone [who] is written among the living in Jerusalem.

When the Lord [has] washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion & has purged the [bloodshed] of Jerusalem from the midst [of it,] by the Spirit of Judgment & by the Spirit of burning.

[Malachi 3:1-4 [Watch,] I will send My messenger & he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, Whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the Covenant, Whom you delight in. [Look,] He shall come, says the Lord of Hosts.

But who may [endure] the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire & like a [launderer's soap.] And He shall sit [like] a refiner & purifier of silver.

And He shall purify the sons of Levi & purge them [like] gold & silver, [so] that they may offer to the Lord a [sacrifice] in righteousness. Then, the offering of Judah & Jerusalem shall be pleasant to the Lord, [like] in the days of old & [like in previous] years.]

And upon every dwelling place of mount Zion & upon her assembly, the Lord will create a cloud & smoke by day & the shining, flaming fire by night. For upon all the glory shall be a defense.

[Numbers 9:15-16 And on the day that the tabernacle was [put] up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, [mainly,] the tent of the Testimony. And at [evening,] there was the appearance of fire upon the tabernacle, until the morning. So it was [always:] the cloud covered it by day & the appearance of fire by night.]

And there in the daytime, shall be a tabernacle for [shade] from the heat & for a place of refuge, for a [shelter] from storm & from rain.

Isaiah 3:1-26 Isaiah Foretells Judah's Consequences for Wicked Actions

 

Isaiah Foretells Judah's Consequences for Wicked Actions

Isaiah 3:1-26                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

For [look,] the Lord, the Lord God of Hosts, [is taking] away [what was stock-piled] & the [supply needed] from Jerusalem & Judah, [of] the whole [supply] of bread & the whole [supply] of water, [from:] the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the [wise, the elderly,] the captain of 50, the honorable man, the counselor, the [skillful artisan,] & the eloquent [speaker.]

And I will give children, to be their princes. [1 Kings 3:6-7 And Solomon said, You have [shown] great mercy, to Your servant, David, my father, according as he walked before You in truth, righteousness & [with an upright] heart, with You. And You have [saved] for him this great kindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. And now, O Lord my God, You have made [me,] Your servant, king instead of David, my father. And I am but a little child & I [don't] know how to go out or come in.]

And babes, shall rule over them. [2 Chronicles 24:1-2 Joash, [a.k.a. Jehoash,] was 7 years old when he began to [rule] & he [ruled] 42 years in Jerusalem. Also, his mother's name was Zibiah [from] BeerSheba. And Joash did [what] was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.]

And the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another & by his neighbor. The child shall behave proudly against the [elderly] & the [dishonorable] against the honorable.

When a man shall [grab] his [relative from his father's family,] saying, You [have] clothing. You be our ruler & let this ruin be under [your control.] [On] that day, he shall [protest,] saying, I won't be a [doctor to heal this situation,] for there is neither bread nor clothing in my house. [Don't] make me a ruler of the people. For Jerusalem is ruined & Judah [has] fallen: because [what they say & their actions] are against the Lord, to provoke His [glorious] eyes.

[2 Chronicles 36:14-16 [Additionally,] all the chief priests & the people [sinned] very much [in the custom of] all the abominations of the heathen & polluted, [a.k.a. defiled,] the house of the Lord, [that] He had hallowed in Jerusalem.

And the Lord God of their [forefathers,] had sent His messengers to them, rising up early [beforehand to warn them,] because He had compassion on His people & on His dwelling place.

But they mocked [God's] messengers & despised His Words & misused His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, until there was no remedy.]

[The appearance of their actions] witness against them. And [their actions] declare their sin [like] Sodom & they [don't even] hide it. [Distress], to their soul! For they have [repaid] themselves [with] evil.

You say to the righteous, that it shall [go] well [for] him: for they shall eat the fruit of their [actions.] [Revelation 22:12-14 And, [Watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give [to] every man, according to his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves & makes [lies.]

[Distress for] the wicked! It shall [go poorly for] him: for the reward of his hands shall be [returned back] to him. As for My people, children are their oppressors & women rule over them. [2 Kings 11:1-3 And when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose & destroyed all the [royal heirs.]

But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram & sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, [a.k.a. Jehoash,]  the son of Ahaziah & [snuck] him [out] from among the king’s sons [who were killed] & hid him, even [Joash] & his nurse, in the [bedroom,] from Athaliah, so that he wasn’t [killed.]

And [Joash] was with her [hidden] in the house of the Lord [for] 6 years. And Athaliah [ruled] over the land.]

O My people, those [who] lead you, cause you to [go astray] & destroy the way of your paths. [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are [ravenous] wolves.]

The Lord stands up to plead [with] & to judge the people. [Hosea 4:1-3 You children [people] of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord: for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, lying, killing, stealing & committing adultery & [there's bloodshed between blood relatives.]

Therefore, the land shall mourn & everyone [who] dwells [there,] shall [waste away] with the [animals] of the field & with the [birds] of heaven. [Yes,] the [fish] of the sea shall also be taken away.]

The Lord will enter into judgment with the [elders] of His people & [its] princes. For you have eaten up the vineyard & the [plunder from] the poor, is in your houses.

What do you mean [by beating] My people to pieces & [grinding] the faces of the poor? says the Lord God of Hosts. [Psalm 11:5-6 The Lord [tests] the righteous, but His soul hates the wicked & him, [who] loves violence. He shall rain snares, fire, brimstone & a terrible [storm] upon the wicked & this shall be the portion of their cup.]

[Additionally,] the Lord says, Because the daughters of Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] are [proud] & walk with stretched [out, stubborn] necks & [seductive eyes,] walking [in a dainty way,] as they go, making tinkling [sounds] with their feet.

Therefore, the Lord will [strike] the crown of the [heads] of the daughters of Zion with [scabs] & the Lord will discover their secret parts. [Jeremiah 13:22 And if you say in your heart, [For what reason did] these things come upon me? For the greatness of your [sins,] your skirts are [uncovered] & your heels [are] made bare.]

[On] that day, the Lord will take away the bravery of [flaunting:] their tinkling ornaments [around] their feet, & [woven chains around their waists] & their round moon [shaped ornaments put on their forehead,] the chains, bracelets, [mantillas,] bonnets, [leg] ornaments, headbands, [perfume boxes,] earrings, rings, nose jewels, changeable suits of [clothing & coats, shawls, purses, glass mirrors,] fine linen [turbans & veils.]

[Jeremiah 44:25  The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this;] You & your wives have both spoken with your mouths & [accomplished] it with your [hands,] saying, We well [certainly do] our vows that we have vowed to burn incense to the queen of heaven & to pour out drink offerings to her. You will surely accomplish your vows & perform your vows.]

And it shall [happen,] that instead of sweet [aromas,] there shall be stink. And instead of a [sash,] a [torn sash] & instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a [belt, you'll clothe yourselves with] sackcloth & [there will be] burning instead of beauty. Your men shall fall by the sword & your mighty [will die] in the war. And her gates shall lament & mourn. And she shall [be alone] & sit upon the ground.

Isaiah 2:1-22 Isaiah's Word on God's Behalf to Judah & Jerusalem

 

Isaiah's Word on God's Behalf to Judah & Jerusalem

Isaiah 2:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The word [about] Judah & Jerusalem, that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw. *And it shall [happen,] in the last days, that the mountains of the Lord's house shall be established [on] the top of the mountains & shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall [stream] to it.

*And many people shall go & say, Come & let's go up to the [Lord's] mountain, to the house of the God, of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us His ways & we will [follow] in His paths. For the Law shall go [forward out] of Zion & the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

And He shall judge among the nations & shall [warn] many people & they shall beat their swords into [blades for plows] & their spears into [pruning saws with a curved blade.] Nation shall not lift up [swords] against nation. Neither shall they learn [how to] war anymore.

O house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] come & let's [follow] in the LIght of the Lord. Therefore, You have [abandoned] Your people, the house of Jacob, because they [are] replenished from the East & are [diviners] like the Philistines. [Deuteronomy 18:14 For these nations, [that] you shall possess, [pay attention] to observers of times & diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God, hasn't [allowed] you to do so.]

And they please themselves in the children of strangers. [Judges 3:5-6 And the children [people] of Israel [lived] among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites & Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives & gave their daughters to their sons & served their gods.]

Their land is also full of silver & gold. Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses & neither is there any end of their chariots. Their land is also full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.

And the man [with low status] bows down & the man [with high status] humbles himself. [Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a Jealous God, visiting the [sins] of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me.]

Therefore, [don't] forgive them. [Go] into the rock & hide [yourself in the dirt,] for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His Majesty. [Revelation 6:15-16 And the kings, the great men,  the rich men, the [important leaders] & the mighty men, of the earth & every man [in bondage] & every free man, hid themselves in the dens & in the rocks of the mountains.]

The [arrogant] looks of man, shall be humbled & the [egotism] of men shall be bowed down. And the Lord, alone, shall be exalted [on] that day. [Philippians 2:9-10 [For this reason,] God has also highly exalted Him & given Him a Name which is above every name: at the Name of Jesus, that every knee should bow, of things in heaven & things on earth & under the earth.]

For the day of the Lord of Hosts, shall be upon everyone, [who] is proud & [conceited] & upon everyone, [who] is lifted up & he shall be brought low. And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high & lifted up & upon all the oaks of Bashan.

And upon all the high mountains & all the hills that are lifted up & upon every high tower & upon every fenced wall & upon all the ships of Tarshish & upon all pleasant pictures.

[Ezekiel 31:10-12 Therefore, the Lord God says [this;] Because you have lifted yourself up in height & his top has shot up among the thick boughs & his heart is lifted up in [its] his height; therefore, I have delivered him into the hand of the [heathen's] mighty one. He shall surely deal with him. I have driven him out, [because of] his wickedness.]

The terrible of the nations & strangers have cut him off & have left him upon the mountains. And in all the valleys, his branches [have] fallen & his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land. And all the people of the earth [have come] down from his shadow & have left him.]

And the [pride] of man shall be bowed down & the [arrogance] of men shall be made low. And the Lord, alone, shall be exalted [on] that day. And He shall [totally put an end to] the idols. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks & into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth terribly.

[Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven & there was seen in His temple the Ark of His [Covenant] & there [was lightning] & voices & [thundering] & an earthquake & great hail.]

[On] that day, a man shall [throw away] his idols of silver & his idols of gold, to the moles & bats, which they made each one for himself to worship. [And shall] go into the clefts of the rocks & into the tops of the [jagged] rocks, for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His Majesty, when He arises to terribly shake the earth.

[Stop yourselves] from [trusting in] man, whose breath is in his nostrils: [in what] is he to be [considered?] [Psalm 146:3-4 [Don't] put your trust in princes, nor in [a human,] the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goes [out] & he returns to his [ground; on] that very day, his thoughts perish.]

Isaiah 1:1-31 Isaiah's Vision About Judah & Jerusalem

 

Isaiah's Vision About Judah & Jerusalem

Isaiah 1:1-31                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The vision of Isaiah, [Amoz'] son, [that] he saw [related to] Judah & Jerusalem, [during] the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz & Hezekiah, [Judah's] kings. O heavens & O earth, hear & [lend your] ear: for the Lord has spoken. I have [provided for & raised] up children & they have rebelled against Me.

[Psalm 115:4-9 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [can't] speak. They have eyes, but they [can't] see. They have ears, but they [can't] hear. They have noses, but they [can't] smell. They have hands, but they [can't feel.]

They have feet, but they [can't] walk. Neither [do] they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone, [who] trusts in them. O Israel, you trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield.]

The ox knows [its] owner & the [mule its] master's [pen:] but Israel doesn't know. My people don't [think about this.] Ah, sinful nation, a people, [loaded] with [sin.] [Descendants] of evil doers, children [people, who behave corruptly.]

They have [abandoned] the Lord & they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger. They [have turned] away, backward. Why should you be [afflicted] any more? You will [just] revolt more & more. The whole head [of Israel] is sick & [faint-hearted.]

From the sole of the foot, even to the head [of Israel,] there isn't [any stability] in it; but [only] wounds, bruises & [festering] sores. [These sores] haven't been closed, neither [bandaged] up & neither [soothed] with ointment.

Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire & strangers devour [your land,] in your presence. And it's [empty like it's] overthrown by strangers. And [Zion's] daughter, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] is left [empty] [like] a cottage in a vineyard & [like] a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, [like a] city [surrounded.]

[If] the Lord of Hosts [hadn't] left to us a very small [amount remaining,] we should have been like Sodom & [similar] to Gomorrah. [Genesis 19:24-25 Then, the Lord rained upon Sodom & Gomorrah brimstone & fire from the Lord out of heaven & He overthrew all those cities & all the plains & all the inhabitants & [what] grew on the ground.]

Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom. [Lend your] ear to the Law of our God, you people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? [says] the Lord. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams & the fat of fed [animals] & I [don't] delight in the blood of [bulls,] or of lambs, or [male] goats.

When you come to appear before Me, who has required this [by] your hand, to walk My [courtyards?] Bring no more vain, [a.k.a. worthless offerings.] Incense is an abomination to Me. I can't [endure] the New Moons, Sabbaths & the calling of assemblies. It is [sinful,] even the solemn meeting.

My soul hates your New Moons & your appointed feasts. They are [troublesome] to Me. I am [tired of putting up with] them. And when you spread your hands [out,] I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won't hear. Your hands are full of [bloodshed.]

You [go &] wash & make [yourselves] clean. Put away the evil of your [actions] from [in front of My] eyes. [Stop doing what is] evil. Learn to do well. Seek [justice,] relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless & plead for the widow.

Come now. Let's reason together, says the Lord. [Although] your sins [are] scarlet, they shall be white as snow. [Although] they [are] red like crimson, they shall be [white] [like] wool. If you [are] willing & obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

But if you refuse & rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. How [has] the faithful city become [like an unfaithful] harlot? It was full of [justice] & righteousness [resided] in it; but now murderers [reside there.]

Your silver [has] become [scum] & your wine [is] mixed with water. The princes are rebellious & [are friends] of thieves. Everyone loves gifts & follows after [bribes.] They [don't fairly] judge the fatherless & neither does the [case] of the widow come to them.

Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will [be relieved of My] adversaries & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies. And I will [return] My hand upon you & [completely] purge away your [scum] & take away your tin.

And I will restore your judges [like it was 1st] & your counselors [like] at the [beginning.] Afterward, you shall be called, The City of Righteousness, The Faithful City. Zion shall be redeemed with [justice] & her converts with righteousness.

And the destruction of the [rebels] & sinners shall be together. And [those who abandon] the Lord, shall be [destroyed.] For they shall be ashamed of the oaks [that] you desired & you shall be [confused, because of] the gardens you have chosen.

[Deuteronomy 12:2-3 You shall [totally] destroy all the places, [in which] the nations [that] you shall possess, served their gods, upon the high mountains & the hills & under every green tree. And you shall overthrow their altars & break their pillars & burn their groves with fire. And you shall [cut] down their [carved] images of their gods & destroy the names of them out of that place.]

For you shall be [like] an oak, whose leaf [fades] & like a garden [without] water. And the strong shall be [like kindling] & the maker of it, [like] a spark. And they shall both burn together & none shall [put] them [out.]

Song of Solomon 8:1-14 Comparing the Lord God's Love, with The Newlywed’s Love for Each Other

Comparing the Lord God's Love, with The Newlywed’s  Love for Each Other

Song of Solomon 8:1-14                 The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks]

O, [if only] you were [like] my brother, that [nursed from] the breasts of my mother! [Then,] when I should find you [outside,] I would kiss you & I [wouldn't] be despised. I would lead you & bring you into my mother's house, who would instruct me.

I would [make] you drink of the spiced wine [from] the juice of my pomegranate. His left hand should be under my head & his right hand should embrace me. O daughters of Jerusalem, I [order] you, that you not stir, nor [wake up] my love, until he [pleases.]

Who is this, [who] comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree, I [woke] you up. There [ahead,] your mother [delivered] you. She [who delivered] you, [did so] there.

[Put] me [like] a seal [of approval], upon your heart & upon your arm: for love is strong [like] death. [Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made & [saw,] it was very good. And the evening & the morning were the 6th day.]

Jealousy is cruel, [like] the grave. [Exodus 34:13-14 But you shall destroy  their altars, break their images & cut down their groves. For you shall worship no other god: for the Lord, Whose Name is Jealous, is a Jealous God.]

The coals [of the grave] are coals of fire, [that] have a most [powerful] flame. [Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are & shall be tormented day & night forever & ever.]

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. [John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.]

If a man would give all the [possessions] of his house for love, it would [totally be despised.] [Pilippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which also was in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the [image] of God, thought it not [a crime] to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation,

And took upon [Himself the image] of a servant & was made in the likeness of men. And being found in [the image like] a man, He humbled Himself & became obedient unto death, even the death on the cross.]

We have a little sister & she [is small chested.] What shall we do for our sister [on] the day when she is spoken for? If she [were] a wall, we [would] build upon her a palace of silver. And if she [were] a door, we would [would enclose] her with cedar [trim.]

I am a wall & my breasts [are] like towers, then I was [like someone who] found favor in his eyes. [Luke 1:26-28 *And in the 6th month, the Angel, Gabriel, was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin [engaged] to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David.

And the virgin's name was Mary. And the Angel came in unto her & said, [Rejoice,] you, [who] are highly favored, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.]

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He [rented] out the vineyards to [tenant farmers.] For [its] fruit, everyone was to bring 1,000 pieces of silver. My vineyard, which is [still] mine & is before me. O Solomon, you must have 1,000 [pieces of silver] & [only] 200 [for] those [who tend] the fruit.

[Colossians 1:12-14 [Give] thanks to the Father, [Who] has made us [fit] to be [participants] of the inheritance of the saints in Light. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness & has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, in Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sin.]

You, [who] dwell in the gardens, the [friends pay attention] to your voice. [Make] me to hear it. [Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God, the Lord will [say:] for He will speak [peacefully] to His people & His saints, but [don't] let them return again to [what is foolish.]

My beloved, [hurry] & be [similar] to a [gazelle] or a young [stag] upon the mountains of spices. [Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a [loud] noise out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them & they shall be His people & God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God.

*And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be nor more death, neither sorrow, crying, nor pain. For the [previous] things [have] passed away.]
