Isaiah 23, HE brings dishonor to all prideful nations!

Isa 23:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST TYRE. WAIL, YOU SHIPS OF TARSHISH! FOR IT IS LAID WASTE, SO THAT THERE IS NO HOUSE, NO HARBOR; …

The people of Tyre were known as Phoenicians who had many ships. It was the commercial capital of the world bringing in good and material from all over the known world! 

Isa 23:9, THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS PURPOSED IT, TO BRING TO DISHONOR THE PRIDE OF ALL GLORY, TO BRING INTO CONTEMPT ALL THE HONORABLE OF THE EARTH. 

Because of it’s great success as a shipping harbor Tyre became proud of it’s accomplishments! PRIDE is an abomination to the LORD, and to think that our country celebrates PRIDE with it’s own month! JUDGEMENT IS COMING!

Pro 16:5, EVERYONE PROUD IN HEART IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD; Though they join forces, NONE WILL GO UNPUNISHED. 

Isa 23:13, Behold, the land of the Chaldeans, This people which was not; Assyria founded it for wild beasts of the desert. THEY SET UP ITS TOWERS, THEY RAISED UP ITS PALACES, AND BROUGHT IT TO RUIN. 

The main land of Tyre was indeed defeated by both the Assyrians and Babylonians. The people Tyre moved out to a small island off it’s shores to get away from Alexander the Great!

Eze 26:12, They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; THEY WILL LAY YOUR STONES, YOUR TIMBER, AND YOUR SOIL IN THE MIDST OF THE WATER.

In order to reach Tyre who were on the island, Alexander had to make a land bridge from the ruins of Tyre. Strange prophecy, but it fulfilled by Alexander the Great!

The destruction of these nations will continue, but there is one kingdom which will never end!

Dan 7:13-14, “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. THEN TO HIM WAS GIVEN DOMINION AND GLORY AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL PEOPLES, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES SHOULD SERVE HIM. HIS DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM THE ONE WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED.

The kingdom of the COMING KING, JESUS is from everlasting to everlasting! And HE Shall reign forever! The pride of nations and people will come to an end! Be Ready HE is COMING!

Isaiah 18, The LORD doesn’t need help!

Isa 18:1-2, Woe to the land shadowed with buzzing wings, WHICH IS BEYOND THE RIVERS OF ETHIOPIA, Which sends ambassadors by sea, Even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying, “GO, SWIFT MESSENGERS, TO A NATION TALL AND SMOOTH OF SKIN, To a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, WHOSE LAND THE RIVERS DIVIDE.” 

The nation of Ethiopia wanted to form a confederacy with Israel against Assyria; Yet, Isaiah points out that GOD will protect Israel and HE has a message to all the world!

Isa 18:3, NLT, ALL YOU PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, EVERYONE WHO LIVES ON THE EARTH—WHEN I RAISE MY BATTLE FLAG ON THE MOUNTAIN, LOOK! WHEN I BLOW THE RAM’S HORN, LISTEN!

When GOD is working look and listen for no man is able to stand before the living GOD! HE doesn’t need an alliance of men to destroy Assyria; for HE is in full control of everything!

Exo 14:14, THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YOU SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE.” 

Isa 18:4, NLT, For the LORD has told me this: “I WILL WATCH QUIETLY FROM MY DWELLING PLACE…. EVEN BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR ATTACK, WHILE YOUR PLANS ARE RIPENING LIKE GRAPES, THE LORD WILL CUT OFF YOUR NEW GROWTH WITH PRUNING SHEARS. HE WILL SNIP OFF AND DISCARD YOUR SPREADING BRANCHES

HE, The LORD sees everything for HE is never sleeping nor resting; HE is always working! HE knows what HE’s doing and has a perfect plan!

Psa 121:3-5, He will not allow your foot to be moved; HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER. BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP. THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

Isa 18:6, THEY WILL BE LEFT TOGETHER FOR THE MOUNTAIN BIRDS OF PREY AND FOR THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH; THE BIRDS OF PREY WILL SUMMER ON THEM, AND ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH WILL WINTER ON THEM. 

The bodies of those that came up against HIS people will be left as food for the wild animals!

Nah 1:6-7, WHO CAN STAND BEFORE HIS INDIGNATION? AND WHO CAN ENDURE THE FIERCENESS OF HIS ANGER? HIS FURY IS POURED OUT LIKE FIRE, AND THE ROCKS ARE THROWN DOWN BY HIM. The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.

DO YOU TRUST IN HIM? HE DOESN’T NEED HELP FROM ANYONE FOR HE TREADS THE WINEPRESS ALONE!

Isaiah 16, After the wrath the KING comes!

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.

Isaiah 12, Come drink from the fountain of life!

Isa 12:1, AND IN THAT DAY YOU WILL SAY: “O LORD, I will praise You; THOUGH YOU WERE ANGRY WITH ME, YOUR ANGER IS TURNED AWAY, AND YOU COMFORT ME. 

The day is coming when ISRAEL SHALL MOURN at the coming of the KING their MESSIAH; for they will look at HIM whom they rejected and pierced on the cross! WE CRUCIFIED OUR OWN MESSIAH? WE REJECTED HIM AND TORTURED OUR OWN KING? FORGIVE US LORD!

Zec 12:10, “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; THEN THEY WILL LOOK ON ME WHOM THEY PIERCED. YES, THEY WILL MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND GRIEVE FOR HIM AS ONE GRIEVES FOR A FIRSTBORN. 

Isa 12:2, Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ ” 

Our good deed our good thoughts or our money doesn’t save us; only in GOD do we find salvation! Only in HIM do we find life!

Isa 12:3, THEREFORE WITH JOY YOU WILL DRAW WATER FROM THE WELLS OF SALVATION. 

With this water HE will fill us with the HOLY SPIRIT, and we shall rejoice in the KING!

Joh 4:14, BUT WHOEVER DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL NEVER THIRST. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A FOUNTAIN OF WATER SPRINGING UP INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.” 

Isa 12:4-5, AND IN THAT DAY YOU WILL SAY: “PRAISE THE LORD, CALL UPON HIS NAME; DECLARE HIS DEEDS AMONG THE PEOPLES, MAKE MENTION THAT HIS NAME IS EXALTED.  SING TO THE LORD, FOR HE HAS DONE EXCELLENT THINGS; THIS IS KNOWN IN ALL THE EARTH.

The worship of HIM the KING shall fill the earth for HE reigns in Jerusalem, and all the world shall see HIM!

Isa 12:6, Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, FOR GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN YOUR MIDST!” 

HE WILL REIGN AS KING OF ALL THE EARTH IN OUR VERY PRESENCE. NO MORE ATHIEST, NO MORE CRIME FOR HE SHALL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON! THE KING IS COMING! BE READY!

Psalm 114, We have no excuse!

Psa 114:1, When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language

After 400 years in a foreign land, Israel was taken out by the strength of GOD! THIS IS A FORESHADOWING OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON THE CROSS. THIS IS NOT OUR HOME

Php 3:20, FOR OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN, from which WE ALSO EAGERLY WAIT FOR THE SAVIOR, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

Psa 114:2, JUDAH BECAME HIS SANCTUARY, AND ISRAEL HIS DOMINION. 

Judah represents all of Israel, but it hints at the LION of the tribe of Judah which is JESUS! GOD is with Israel even today, as HE is with us! WE BECAME HIS SANCTUARY FOR HE DWELLS WITH US, HE IS ALWAYS WITH US!

2Co 6:16, …. FOR YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. As God has said: “I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM. I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.” 

Psa 114:3, 5, THE SEA SAW IT AND FLED; JORDAN TURNED BACK…. WHAT AILS YOU, O SEA, THAT YOU FLED? O JORDAN, THAT YOU TURNED BACK? 

Even the water and it’s tremendous waves obeyed the LORD! They were afraid of the LORD and moved out of HIS way!

Psa 77:16, The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled. 

Nature recognized HIS presence how much more should we recognize the LORD!

Mat 8:27, So the men marveled, saying, “WHO CAN THIS BE, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM?” 

HE IS THE LORD, OUR GOD, OBEY HIM AND TRUST IN HIM!

Psalm 110, HE SHALL REIGN!

Psa 110:1, THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,”SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL.”

The Pharisees gathered together, JESUS asked them “What do you think about the CHRIST? Whose SON is HE”? They replied the SON of David! Then JESUS said

Mat 22:43-45, HE said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call HIM ‘LORD,’ saying: ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL” ‘? If David then calls Him ‘LORD,’ HOW IS HE HIS SON?”

They couldn’t answer but we can! JESUS is in the lineage of David, YET HE is LORD the SON of the living GOD! Also, David being king shows that at least two others are greater than he!

Heb 1:3, who being the brightness of His glory and the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when HE HAD BY HIMSELF PURGED OUR SINS, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH,

JESUS is co-equal to GOD the expressed image of the FATHER!

Heb 1:8-9, But to the SON HE says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU….

Psa 110:1b, … SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL.” 

Paul wrote that HE will reign until the last of HIS enemies are destroyed including death! Then HE hands everything over to the FATHER!

1Co 15:24-26, THEN COMES THE END, WHEN HE DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO GOD THE FATHER, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power FOR HE MUST REIGN TILL HE HAS PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET. THE LAST ENEMY THAT WILL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.

The Father is working through HIS word until all things are under HIS SON’s control!

Isa 55:11, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. 

This is an amazing Psalm and I only focused on one verse! There is so much here! GOD be praised!
