Isa 16:1, Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, From SELA to the wilderness, TO THE MOUNT OF THE DAUGHTER OF ZION.
Isaiah was writing of judgement coming to Moab, so he says THAT MOAB SHOULD START AGAIN BRINGING TRIBUTE TO JERUSALEM AND SUBMITTING THEMSELVES TO GOD!
2Ki 3:4, Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepbreeder, and HE REGULARLY PAID THE KING OF ISRAEL ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND LAMBS…
Isa 16:2, FOR IT SHALL BE AS A WANDERING BIRD THROWN OUT OF THE NEST; …
Isaiah compared Moab to a helpless little bird confused, weak and vulnerable. So are many Christians who wonder from church to church; Spurgeon called them “GIPSY-CHRISTIANS”!
Pro 27:8, Like a bird that wanders from its nest Is a man who wanders from his place.
Isa 16:4 NLT, LET OUR REFUGEES STAY AMONG YOU. HIDE THEM FROM OUR ENEMIES UNTIL THE TERROR IS PAST.” WHEN OPPRESSION AND DESTRUCTION HAVE ENDED AND ENEMY RAIDERS HAVE DISAPPEARED,
Isiah changes focus from Moab to the tribulation time when the remnant of Israel will hide in Petra (Sela) in Moab (Jordan).
Mat 24:15-16, “Therefore when you see the ‘ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “THEN LET THOSE WHO ARE IN JUDEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Isa 16:5, IN MERCY THE THRONE WILL BE ESTABLISHED; AND ONE WILL SIT ON IT IN TRUTH, IN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, JUDGING AND SEEKING JUSTICE AND HASTENING RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
An Isaiah sees even further to the time in which the MESSIAH WILL REIGN ON THE THRONE OF DAVID. And, those that ran for their lives will be gathered again in Israel!
Mic 4:6-7, “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted; I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; SO THE LORD WILL REIGN OVER THEM IN MOUNT ZION FROM NOW ON, EVEN FOREVER.
JESUS, the MESSIAH will reign as KING of the earth! HIS throne will be forever and ever! Be ready, the KING is coming!
Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.
