Isaiah 15, Judgement has come to MOAB!

Isa 15:1, THE BURDEN AGAINST MOAB. BECAUSE IN THE NIGHT Ar of MOAB IS LAID WASTE AND DESTROYED, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, 

The wrath of GOD has come to MOAB, which is modern day Jordan, South East of Israel. While everyone was sleeping destruction came!

Isa 15:2-3, He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, TO THE HIGH PLACES TO WEEP. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off. In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; … EVERYONE WILL WAIL, WEEPING BITTERLY.

Jer 48:42, AND MOAB SHALL BE DESTROYED AS A PEOPLE, BECAUSE HE EXALTED HIMSELF AGAINST THE LORD. 

No man no country can exalt themselves before GOD and live! When judgement comes the only thing people can do is cry.

Heb 10:31, IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. 

Isa 15:6-7, FOR THE WATERS OF NIMRIM WILL BE DESOLATE, FOR THE GREEN GRASS HAS WITHERED AWAY; THE GRASS FAILS, THERE IS NOTHING GREEN. THEREFORE THE ABUNDANCE THEY HAVE GAINED, AND WHAT THEY HAVE LAID UP, THEY WILL CARRY AWAY TO THE BROOK OF THE WILLOWS.

There is nothing left for MOAB, No water, no vegetation everything has withered away! THOSE WHO SURVIVE shall carry away what little they have left and flee away!

Isa 15:9, FOR THE WATERS OF DIMON WILL BE FULL OF BLOOD; BECAUSE I WILL BRING MORE UPON DIMON, LIONS UPON HIM WHO ESCAPES FROM MOAB, AND ON THE REMNANT OF THE LAND.”

The refugees who survive the initial attack will be killed! Complete and utter destruction! As Judgement came to Moab, so it must come here as well! The day of the LORD comes, and there is only one way to escape!

1Th 5:9, FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

Remember GOD is love, but HE is also JUST! HE has given every sinner a way of salvation through HIS SON who died for us!

Rom 5:8-9, BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. MUCH MORE THEN, HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM.

Get right with the LORD for HE is coming!

Proverbs 30, Do you know HIS name?

Proverb 30 is not associated with Solomon, these are the words of Agur who is not mentioned in any other part of scripture!

Pro 30:2-3, Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

It takes humility to know GOD, Agur compared himself to a beast in his knowledge of GOD! What he knows about GOD is very minimal; not just for him but for All of us! As Job has said, “THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS”

Job 26:14, INDEED THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM! BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?” 

Pro 30:4, WHO HAS ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, OR DESCENDED? WHO HAS GATHERED THE WIND IN HIS FISTS? WHO HAS BOUND THE WATERS IN A GARMENT? WHO HAS ESTABLISHED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW? 

The only answer for these five questions is GOD HIMSELF! For HE is the only ONE capable of doing this! But the last question shows that this humble man knew that GOD has a SON; “WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW”?  DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME? HIS NAME IS JESUS, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD!

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.

Pro 30:7-8, TWO THINGS I REQUEST OF YOU (DEPRIVE ME NOT BEFORE I DIE): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;

Agur just wanted two things from the LORD while he lived on the earth! He didn’t want any lies in his life; he just wanted to know the truth. Also, he didn’t want riches nor poverty.

Pro 30:9, LEST I BE FULL AND DENY YOU, AND SAY, “WHO IS THE LORD?” OR LEST I BE POOR AND STEAL, AND PROFANE THE NAME OF MY GOD. 

People with great wealth are often dependent on it, but wealth can never protect you from death! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM THE LORD? Remember when GOD asked Solomon this question (1Kings 3:1-15)! Solomon replied

1Ki 3:9, THEREFORE GIVE TO YOUR SERVANT AN UNDERSTANDING HEART TO JUDGE YOUR PEOPLE, THAT I MAY DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. FOR WHO IS ABLE TO JUDGE THIS GREAT PEOPLE OF YOURS?”
