Isaiah 24, The DAY OF THE LORD!

Isa 24:1, BEHOLD, THE LORD MAKES THE EARTH EMPTY AND MAKES IT WASTE, DISTORTS ITS SURFACE AND SCATTERS ABROAD ITS INHABITANTS. 

Isaiah now sees the great tribulation, the day of the LORD; which will hit the entire world!

Isa 24:2, And it shall be: As with THE PEOPLE, so with THE PRIEST; As with THE SERVANT, so with HIS MASTER; As with THE MAID, so with HER MISTRESS…. Buyer, seller, lender, etc.

No one will escape this wrath, their money will be useless, their influence gone; whether rich or poor judgement has come to all!

Isa 24:3, THE LAND SHALL BE ENTIRELY EMPTIED AND UTTERLY PLUNDERED, FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN THIS WORD. 

There shall be areas completely wipe out, but according to scripture one third will be killed!

Rev 9:15, SO THE FOUR ANGELS, WHO HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR THE HOUR AND DAY AND MONTH AND YEAR, WERE RELEASED TO KILL A THIRD OF MANKIND. 

Isa 24:5-6, The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE LAWS, CHANGED THE ORDINANCE, BROKEN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT. THEREFORE THE CURSE HAS DEVOURED THE EARTH, AND THOSE WHO DWELL IN IT ARE DESOLATE. THEREFORE THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE BURNED, AND FEW MEN ARE LEFT.

Man have defiled themselves and the earth with his sin and wickedness. So, judgement comes! The whole chapter describes the people mourning, the earth split opened, and great fear, but after they will see the coming KING!

Mar 13:26, THEN THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY. 

Isa 24:23, THEN THE MOON WILL BE DISGRACED AND THE SUN ASHAMED; FOR THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL REIGN ON MOUNT ZION AND IN JERUSALEM AND BEFORE HIS ELDERS, GLORIOUSLY. 

HIS shekinah glory shall be seen upon the earth, and HIS light will be greater than any light ever seen! THE KING IS COMING, ALL BOW DOWN, THE KING IS NEAR BE READY!

Rev 21:23, The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ILLUMINATED IT. THE LAMB IS ITS LIGHT.

Isaiah 9, The coming KING!

Isa 9:2, THE PEOPLE WHO WALKED IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. 

Because of the wrath of GOD in the land of Israel there was great darkness, but now Isaiah sees a future event; THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH THE LORD JESUS! But, this applies to the us as well! For we were once in darkness, but now we see!

Joh 8:12, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.”

Isa 9:4, FOR YOU HAVE BROKEN THE YOKE OF HIS BURDEN AND THE STAFF OF HIS SHOULDER, THE ROD OF HIS OPPRESSOR, AS IN THE DAY OF MIDIAN.

This is the work of the MESSIAH; for HE has broken the chains that bound us to sin, and the rod of him who oppressed us, satan!

Col 2:13-14, And you, BEING DEAD IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND THE UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR FLESH, He has made alive together with Him, HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSES, …, HAVING NAILED IT TO THE CROSS.

Isa 9:6, FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN; AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER. AND HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE. 

This is the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 prophecy, “The virgin shall conceive”. For HE is the light of the world, and through HIM we have life!

Joh 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 DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.

Isa 9:7, OF THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE WILL BE NO END, UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID AND OVER HIS KINGDOM, TO ORDER IT AND ESTABLISH IT WITH JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE FROM THAT TIME FORWARD, EVEN FOREVER. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS. 

Isaiah sees further in the future to the second coming of CHRIST JESUS! For HE first came as a lamb among wolves to pay the price of our captivity, but HE is coming again to rule as the KING of all the earth!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

He fulfilled HIS first coming, and will fulfill HIS second coming! For HE is not a man that HE should lie, BE READY, THE KING IS COMING!

Psalm 132, HIS spiritual house!

Psa 132:1-5, LORD, remember David And all his afflictions; HOW HE SWORE TO THE LORD, AND VOWED TO THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB: “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids, UNTIL I FIND A PLACE FOR THE LORD, A DWELLING PLACE FOR THE MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB.”

Because David was a man of war and shed a lot of blood, the LORD didn’t allow him to build HIM a house! But this pleased the LORD so much that HE promised that his offspring would build HIM a house/temple!

2Sa 7:12-13, “When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I WILL SET UP YOUR SEED AFTER YOU, WHO WILL COME FROM YOUR BODY, and I will establish his kingdom. HE SHALL BUILD A HOUSE FOR MY NAME, AND I WILL ESTABLISH THE THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM FOREVER.

1Co 3:16, DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU? 

David’s descendant, JESUS, is building the temple of GOD with believers in HIM! WE, THE CHURCH ARE THE FULFILMENT OF THIS PROMISE!

Eph 2:20-21, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, GROWS INTO A HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD,

Psa 132:11, THE LORD HAS SWORN IN TRUTH TO DAVID; HE WILL NOT TURN FROM IT: “I WILL SET UPON YOUR THRONE THE FRUIT OF YOUR BODY. 

David’s descendant, CHRIST JESUS, will be KING over this temple!

Act 2:30, …THAT OF THE FRUIT OF HIS BODY, ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, HE WOULD RAISE UP THE CHRIST TO SIT ON HIS THRONE, 

Psa 132:17, There I will make THE HORN OF DAVID GROW; I WILL PREPARE A LAMP FOR MY ANOINTED.

HIS ANOINTED is CHRIST JESUS WHO IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

Luk 2:30-32, For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A LIGHT TO BRING REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, AND THE GLORY OF YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL.”

JESUS IS KING, HE IS LORD, HE IS OUR SALVATION AND HE HAS REDEEMED US WITH HIS BLOOD! PRAISE AND HONOR BE UNTO HIM WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psalm 112, Trust in the LORD!

Psa 112:1, Praise the LORD! BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO FEARS THE LORD, WHO DELIGHTS GREATLY IN HIS COMMANDMENTS.

It doesn’t say, blessed is the man who is scared of the LORD, that would be common sense! Blessed in the man who reveres the LORD and does what HE commands to do!

Luk 1:50, And HIS MERCY IS ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM From generation to generation. 

Psa 112:2-3, His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.

The man who reveres the LORD his family will be blessed! Wealth and riches will be in his house, BECAUSE THEIR FATHER, THE LORD, OWNS EVERYTHING, AND SUPPLIES HIS OWN!

Psa 37:25, I have been young, and now am old; YET I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, NOR HIS DESCENDANTS BEGGING BREAD. 

Psa 112:4, Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

In times of great uncertainty, and darkness, those that revere the LORD will still rejoice knowing their FATHER is in full control! HE IS OUR LIGHT, HE IS OUR HOPE, HE IS OUR STRENGTH, AND SAVIOR!  JESUS SAID..

Joh 12:46, I HAVE COME AS A LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME SHOULD NOT ABIDE IN DARKNESS. 

Psa 112:7, He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

The upright will not be afraid of bad news (evil tidings) for his hearth is set on the ROCK, and shall not be moved!

Psa 62:5-6, My soul, wait silently for God alone, FOR MY EXPECTATION IS FROM HIM. HE ONLY IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION; HE IS MY DEFENSE; I SHALL NOT BE MOVED.

This is not about us it’s about the LORD and what HE has done for us! We are righteous because HE has removed our filthy garments and replaced them with HIS own! Put your trust in the LORD!

Isa 61:10, I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, …

Psalm 97, useless idols!

Psa 97:1, THE LORD REIGNS; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad! 

The LORD REIGNS, there is no contender to the throne; HE made the earth and rules it! The day is coming where HE will be called “THE KING OF ALL THE EARTH”!  REJOICE!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

Psa 97:2-4, CLOUDS AND DARKNESS SURROUND HIM; … A FIRE GOES BEFORE HIM, And burns up His enemies round about. HIS LIGHTNINGS LIGHT THE WORLD; THE EARTH SEES AND TREMBLES.

The Psalmist is describing the day when the LORD of all came down on the mountain of GOD! HIS AWESOME PRESENCE!

Exo 19:16, 18, … THUNDERINGS AND LIGHTNINGS, AND A THICK CLOUD ON THE MOUNTAIN; and the SOUND OF THE TRUMPET WAS VERY LOUD, so that all the people who were in the camp TREMBLED…Now Mount Sinai WAS COMPLETELY IN SMOKE, BECAUSE THE LORD DESCENDED UPON IT IN FIRE. …, THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN QUAKED GREATLY. 

The LORD used Dark clouds to surround HIM, because HIS presence would have been too much for anyone to bear!

1Ti 6:16, …, DWELLING IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE, …

Psa 97:6, THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THE PEOPLES SEE HIS GLORY.  

My father came to faith just by looking at everything around him! THE HEAVENS SHOUT THE EXISTENCE OF HIM WHO MADE IT! THERE IS NO EXCUSE!

Rom 1:20, …HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE, 

Psa 97:7, Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, Who boast of idols. WORSHIP HIM, all you gods.

YET, fools worship their so-called gods made by men’s hands! Don’t trip, you may break to pieces the god you bow down to! WORSHIP THE LORD ALL YOU MEN OF THE EARTH FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!

Psalm 27, The light of the world!

Psa 27:1, …THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? 

IF YOU HAVE COME TO FAITH IN HIM, THEN WHY FEAR? IF HE IS YOUR DAILY SOURCE OF STRENGTH THEN WHY BE AFRAID? Before coming to CHRIST we walked in darkness, but now as we follow the LIGHT OF THE WORLD we can clearly see the path!

Joh 8:12, Then JESUS spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” 

Psa 27:3, Though an army may encamp against me, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR; Though war may rise against me, IN THIS I WILL BE CONFIDENT. 

DAVID KNOWS HIS GOD DO YOU? HE IS NOT MOVED BY THE PRESENCE OF AN ENEMY FOR HE PUTS HIS COMPLETE TRUST IN THE LORD! WHEN HE OPENS OUR EYES THEN WE CAN CLEARLY SEE GOD’S ARMY PROTECTING US!

2Ki 6:17, And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I PRAY, OPEN HIS EYES THAT HE MAY SEE.” THEN THE LORD OPENED THE EYES OF THE YOUNG MAN, AND HE SAW. AND BEHOLD, THE MOUNTAIN WAS FULL OF HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE ALL AROUND ELISHA. 

Not that Christians wont die, but that if and when we do, we know that HE is always there!

2Cor 5:7-8, For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Psa 27:4, One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: THAT I MAY DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO BEHOLD THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD, AND TO INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE. 

David desired more than anything to dwell in the house of the LORD; THIS IS OUR HOPE AS WELL! SOON OUR BLESSED HOPE WILL APPEAR AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD!  BLESSED BE HIS NAME!

Joh 14:3, And if I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO.
