Isaiah 16:1-14 In Mercy, the Throne Shall be Established

 

In Mercy, the Throne Shall be Established

Isaiah 16:1-14                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

You, send the [lambs] to the ruler of the land from Sela, to the wilderness & unto the Mount of the daughter of Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem.] [Isaiah 42:5-8 The Lord God says [this,] He, [Who] has created the heavens & stretched them out & He, [Who] spread out the earth & all that which comes [from] it &

He, [Who] gives breath to the people upon it & [the] Spirit [of life,] to [those who] walk [on that place;] I, the Lord, have called You in Righteousness & will hold Your hand & will keep You & will give You for a Covenant, [a.k.a. contract] of the people for a Light of the Gentiles.

*To open the blind eyes, to bring prisoners out from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out of the prison, [to their] house. I Am the Lord & that Is My Name. And I will not give My Glory to another, neither My praise to [carved] images.]

For it shall be, that, [like] a wandering bird, [thrown] out of [its] nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. [Get advice] & [deliver justice.] Make your shadow [at noon] be [like] the night. Hide the outcasts & [don't betray those, who] wander. Let [My] outcasts dwell with you, Moab.

You be a [covering for] them from the face of the [plunderer:] for the extortioner is at an end & the [plunderer] ceases & the oppressors are consumed out of the land. And in mercy, the throne shall be established & He shall sit upon it in Truth in the tabernacle of David, judging & seeking [justice] & [speeding up] Righteousness.

[Isaiah 9:6-7 *For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given & the government shall be upon His shoulder & His Name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

There shall be no end of the increase of His government & peace, upon the throne of David & upon His Kingdom, to [command it] & to establish it, with judgment & justice from [now on.] The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will [accomplish] this.]

We've heard of the pride of Moab. [Moab] is very proud: even [in] his: [arrogance, conceit & fury.] But [Moab's] lies shall not be [allowed.] [Jeremiah 48:27-29 For wasn't Israel a [mockery] to you? Was he found among the thieves? For, [ever] since you [spoke] of [Israel,] you skipped for joy.

O you, [who] dwell in Moab, leave the cities & dwell in the [rocks] & be like the dove that makes [its] nest in the sides of the [cave's] mouth. We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is [exceedingly] proud,) his loftiness & his [arrogance] & his pride & the conceit of his heart.]

Therefore, Moab shall howl & everyone shall howl for Moab. You shall mourn for the foundations of Kir Hareseth; surely they are stricken. For the fields of Hesbon [wither] & the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the heathen have broken down the [main] plants [of it] & they [have] come, even to Jazer.

They wandered through the wilderness. Her branches are [outstretched] & they have gone over the sea. Therefore, I will [mourn] with the weeping of Jazer, the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with My tears, O Heshbon & Elealeh: for [on]  your summer fruits & your harvest [the battle shout has] fallen.

And gladness [has been] taken away & [the] joy out of the plentiful field. And in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting. [Those who trample down] wine, shall [not trample] wine in their presses. I have made their vintage [shouts of joy,] to cease.

[Jeremiah 48:35-36 The Lord says, [Additionally,] I will cause to cease in Moab him, [who] offers in the high places & him, [who] burns incense to his gods. Therefore, [My] heart shall sound like pipes for Moab & for the men of Kir Heres, [a.k.a. Kir Haresh,] because the riches he has gotten are perished.]

[For this reason,] my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab & [my inner] parts for Kir Haresh. And it shall [happen,] when Moab is seen [tired] on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

[Isaiah 15:2 [Moab has] gone up to Bajith & to Dibon, the high place to weep. Moab shall howl over Nebo & over Medeba. On all their heads shall be baldness & every beard cut off.]

But now the Lord has spoken, saying, Within 3 years, [like] the years of a [hired worker] & the glory of Moab shall be [despised,] with all that great multitude & [those remaining] shall be very small and feeble.

Isaiah 15:1-9 The Vision About Moab

 

The Vision About Moab

Isaiah 15:1-9                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a.] vision [about] Moab. [Surely,] in the night, [the capital,] Ar of Moab is laid [to] waste & brought to silence; because in the night, Kir of Moab is [left in ruins] & brought to silence.

[2 Kings 4-6 And Mesha, [Moab's] king, was a [sheep owner] & [gave] to [Israel's] king, 100,000 lambs & 100,000 rams & wool. But it [happened,] when Ahab was dead, [Moab's] king rebelled against the king of Israel. And king, Jehoram, went out of Samaria, the same time & [mustered] all Israel.]

He [has] gone up to Bajith & to Dibon, the high places to weep. Moab shall howls over Nebo & over Medeba & on all their heads shall be baldness & every beard cut off. In their streets, they shall [clothe] themselves with sackcloth.

On the tops of their houses & in their streets, everyone shall howl, weeping abundantly. [Jeremiah 48:38 There shall be [mourning,] generally upon all the housetops of Moab & in [its] streets. For I have broken Moab like a [broken] vessel, [in which was] no pleasure, said the Lord.]

And Heshbon & Elealeh shall cry [out] & their [sound] shall be heard, even to Jahaz. Therefore, [Moab's] armed soldiers shall cry out. His life shall be grievous to him.

My heart shall cry out for Moab [like] a 3 years old heifer. His fugitives shall flee to Zoar. By the mounting weeping of Luhith, they shall go up; for in the [road] of Horonaim, they shall raise up [an out] cry of destruction.

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate. For the hay [has] withered away, the grass fails & there's no green thing. Therefore, they have gotten the abundance [of produce] & that which they had [stored] up & they shall carry [it] away to the Brook of the Willows.

For the [outcry has] gone [around] the borders of Moab. The howling [from there to:] Eglaim [all the way] to Beer Elim. For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood. For I will bring more upon Dimon & lions upon [those who] escape of Moab & upon the [remaining] of the land.

Isaiah 14:1-32 The Day of the Lord Gives Them Rest From: Sorrow, Fear & Bandages

 

The Day of the Lord Gives Them Rest From: Sorrow, Fear & Bandages

Isaiah 14:1-32                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob & will [still] choose Israel & [will put] them in their own land. And the [foreigners] shall be joined with them & they shall [cling] to the house of Jacob.

And the people shall take them & bring them to their place & the house of Israel shall possess them as servants & handmaids, in the land of the Lord. And they shall take them [captive, of whom they had been their] captives. And they shall rule over their oppressors.

[Isaiah 60:14-15 Also, the sons of [those who] afflicted you shall come bending [down] to you & all [those who] despised you, shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet.

And they shall call you, The City of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. [In that,] you had been [abandoned] & hated, so that no man went through you, I will make you [of continual excellence,] a joy of many generations.]

And it shall [happen on] the day that the Lord shall give you rest from your sorrow, fear & hard bondage [in which] you were made to serve. That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon & say, How the oppressor & the golden city, [a.k.a. Babylon,] has ceased!

The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked & the scepter of the rulers. He who [struck] the people [with] wrath & continual [whippings] & he, [who] ruled the nations in anger, is [now] persecuted & none [interfere with it.] The whole earth is at rest & [peaceful] & they break into singing.

[Yes,] the fir trees rejoice at you & the cedars of Lebanon, saying Since, you are [cut] down, no [lumberman has] come up against us. Hell [has] moved from [below] to meet you, at your coming.

It stirs up the dead for you, even all the [leaders] of the earth, it has raised up all the kings of the nations, from their thrones. They all shall speak & say to you, [Have] you also become weak [like] we [are?] [Have] you become [similar] to us?

Your [magnificence] is brought down to the grave & the sound of your [bass] viols. The [worms have] spread [out] under you & the worms cover you. How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you, who weaken the nations, are cut down to the ground!

For you had said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven & I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation [on] the sides of the north.

[Psalm 48:1-2 Great is the Lord & greatly to be praised in the City of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for [its] situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] on the sides of the north, the City of the great King.]

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.  [2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, [until] there first comes a falling away & that man of sin [is] revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes & exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped. So, that he sits as God in the temple of God, [declaring] himself that he is God.]

Yet, you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. [Luke 10:15 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.]

[Those who] see you shall [gaze & reflect] upon you, saying, Is this the man, [who] made the earth tremble & the kingdoms shake; that made the world [like] a wilderness & destroyed [its] cities; [who didn't open] [& let loose] his prisoners [to their] house?

All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house. But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch & [like the garment] of [those who] were slain & thrust through with a sword & go down to the [grave, covered with] stones, [like a corpse walked on,] under feet.

You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed the land & slain your people. The [descendents of those who do evil,] shall never be [famous.]

Prepare slaughter for his children for the [sin] of their fathers; [so] they don't rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the [surface] of the world with cities. The Lord of Hosts says, For I will rise up against them & cut off from Babylon, [their] name, [those remaining,] son & nephew, says the Lord.

I will also make it a possession for the [porcupine] & [marshes] of water. And I will sweep it with the [broom] of destruction, says the Lord of Hosts. The Lord of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so it shall [happen] & it shall stand as I have [intended.] [Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers & the flower fades: but the Word of our God shall stand forever.]

That I will break the Assyrian in My land & [trample] him under foot upon My mountains. Then shall his yoke & his burden depart from off them & their shoulders. [Micah 5:4-6 And He shall stand & feed [Israel] in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the [Lord's] Name, His God.

And they shall [remain:] For now He shall be great unto the ends of the earth. And this Man shall be the [Creator of] peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land & when he shall [walk] in our palaces.

Then we shall raise against him 7 shepherds & 8 [important] men. And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword & the land of Nimrod in [its] entrances. [Like this,] He shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when He comes into our land & when He [walks] within our borders.]

This is the purpose that is [intended] upon the whole earth & this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the Lord of Hosts has [determined it] & who shall [cancel] it? And His hand is stretched out & who shall [return] it back?

In the year that king Ahaz died, was this burden, [a.k.a. vision.] [Don't] you rejoice, [all of] Palestina, [a.k.a. the Philistines, or Philistia, or Palestine,] because the rod of him, [who struck] you is broken. For out of the serpent's root, shall come forth a [cobra] & its fruit shall be a fiery, flying serpent.

[Isaiah 30:6 The burden, [a.k.a. vision] of the beasts of the south. Into the land of trouble & anguish, from [where] come the: old lion, the viper & the fiery, flying serpent. They will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young [donkeys] & their treasures upon the [company] of camels, to a people, [who] shall not [benefit] them.]

And the firstborn of the poor shall [eat] & the needy shall lie down in safety. And I will kill your root with famine & he shall slay your remnant. Howl, O gate & cry [out,] O city, [all,] you Palestina, are dissolved.

For there shall come from the north a smoke & none shall be [missing, during] his appointed times. Then, what shall [someone] answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord has founded Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] & the poor of His people shall trust in it.

Isaiah 13:1-22 Vision of Babylon's, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

 

Vision of Babylon, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

Isaiah 13:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision] of Babylon, [that] Isaiah, [Amoz'] son, [saw.] Lift up a banner for [yourselves] upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them & shake [hands, so] that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

I have commanded My sanctified ones & I have also called My mighty ones for [My] anger, even [those who] rejoice in My [excellence.] The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a [large amount of] people: a tumultuous noise of kingdoms of nations gathered together.

The Lord of Hosts musters the [army to] battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord & the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.]

Howl, you: for the day of the Lord is at hand & it shall come [like] a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore, all hands shall be [feeble] & every man's heart shall melt. And they shall be afraid. [Pains] & sorrows shall take hold of them. They shall be [like] the pain [of] a woman [in childbirth.]

They shall be amazed at one another & their faces shall be [red, like] flames. [Watch,] the day of the Lord comes, cruel with both wrath & fierce anger, to [leave] the land desolate [& empty] & He shall destroy [its] sinners out of it.

For the stars & constellations of heaven shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened in [its rising] & the moon shall not cause [its] light to shine [at night.] And I will punish the world for their evil & the wicked for their [sin.]

And I will cause the [arrogance] of the proud to [stop] & will lay low the [conceit] of the [horrendous ones.] [Isaiah 2:17-19 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] abolish 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 terribly shake the earth.]

I will make man more [rare] than fine gold; even a man [more rare] than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, [on] the day of the wrath of the Lord of Hosts & of His fierce anger, I will shake the heavens & I will remove the earth out of [its] place.

[Revelation 6:12-14 And I [saw] when he had opened the 6th seal & lo, there was a great earthquake & the sun became black [like] sackcloth [made from goat] hair & the moon became [like] blood.

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree casts [its] figs [before its time,] when [its] shaken [by] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll when it's rolled together. And every mountain & island were [removed] out of their places.]

And it shall be like the [gazelle] chased & [like lost] sheep & no man [leads] them. [John 10:11-14 I Am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he who is a [hired hand] & [isn't] the shepherd & the sheep aren't [his] own & sees the wolf coming & leaves the sheep & flees.

And the wolf catches them & scatters the sheep. The [hired hand] flees, because he is a [hired hand] & [doesn't] care [about] the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd & know My Sheep & Am known of Mine.]

Every man shall turn to his own people & flee into his own land. Everyone, [who] is found, shall be thrust through & everyone, [who joins] them, shall fall by the sword. Also, their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes & their houses shall be [plundered] & their wives ravished.

[Psalm 137:7-9  O Lord, remember the children [people] of Edom, who said, [Tear it down, tear it down, even to [its] foundation on [that] day [in] Jerusalem. O daughter of Babylon, who [is] to be destroyed, happy shall he be, [who repays you, like you have done to] us. Happy shall he be, [who] takes & dashes your little ones against the [rocks.]

[Watch,] I will stir up the Medes against them, [who] shall not [care for, nor] delight in silver [or] for gold. Their bows shall also dash the young men to pieces & they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eye shall not spare children.

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' [excellence] shall be [like] when God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited & shall it be [lived] in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabians pitch [tents] there.

Neither shall the shepherds make their [flock lie] there. But the [wild animals] of the desert shall lie there & their houses shall be full of [dismal] creatures & owls shall dwell there & satyrs, [a.k.a. wild goats,] shall dance there. And the wild [hyenas] of the island shall cry [out] in their [deserted] houses & jackals in their pleasant palaces.

[Its] days shall not be prolonged & [its] time is [soon] to come. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack [related to] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat. And also the earth & the works [done in it] shall be burned up.]

Isaiah 12:1-6 Isaiah Foretells They Will Turn Back to the Lord God, Their Salvation

 

Isaiah Foretells They Will Turn Back to the Lord God, Their Salvation

Isaiah 12:1-6                               The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

And [on] that day, you shall say, O Lord, I will praise You: though You [were] angry with me, Your anger is [now] turned away & You comfort me.

[Look,] God is my Salvation. I will trust & won't be afraid: for the Lord, JEHOVAH, is my strength & my song. Also, He [has] become my Salvation. Therefore, you shall draw water out of the wells of Salvation with joy.

And [on] that day, you shall say, Praise the Lord & call upon His Name. Declare His [actions] among the people & mention that His Name is exalted. Sing to the Lord; for He has done excellent things. This is known in all the earth.

[Psalm 78:12-16 Marvelous things [God] did in the sight of their [forefathers] in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea & caused them to pass through & He made the waters to stand [like] a heap.

Also, in the daytime, He led them with a cloud & all night with a light of fire. He [split] the rocks in the wilderness & gave them [water to] drink, [like] out of great depths. He also brought streams out of the rock & caused waters to run down like rivers.

Cry out & shout, you [residents] of Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem.] For great is the Holy One of Israel, in the midst of you.
