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!

Isaiah 8, At HIS wrath the world trembles!

Isa 8:5-7, The LORD also spoke to me again, saying: “INASMUCH AS THESE PEOPLE REFUSED THE WATERS OF SHILOAH THAT FLOW SOFTLY, AND REJOICE IN REZIN AND IN REMALIAH’S SON; Now therefore, behold, the LORD brings up over them The waters of the River, strong and mighty—THE KING OF ASSYRIA AND ALL HIS GLORY; HE WILL GO UP OVER ALL HIS CHANNELS AND GO OVER ALL HIS BANKS. 

GOD’s provision is described as a soft flowing river, yet Israel rejected it! Now in judgement GOD brings Assyria described as a strong and mighty river which overflows their land!

Isa 8:8, He will pass through Judah, He will overflow and pass over, HE WILL REACH UP TO THE NECK; And the stretching out of his wings Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.

Assyria consumed the 10 tribes of Israel and almost consumed Judah; that raging river, Assyria, flowed up to their necks!  THIS IS THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD OVER HIS PEOPLE, YET JUDAH WAS SPARED BUT AT A GREAT COST!

2Ki 18:13-14, And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, SENNACHERIB KING OF ASSYRIA CAME UP AGAINST ALL THE FORTIFIED CITIES OF JUDAH AND TOOK THEM. Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; turn away from me; WHATEVER YOU IMPOSE ON ME I WILL PAY… SO HEZEKIAH GAVE HIM ALL THE SILVER THAT WAS FOUND IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

They stripped the house of the LORD of all it’s gold and silver to pay for their freedom!

Isa 8:19, And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE SEEK THEIR GOD? SHOULD THEY SEEK THE DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING? 

Israel had fallen so much that instead of seeking their GOD, they sought mediums and wizards? The same is true today, rather than seeking the Living GOD, they seek after the dead; FOR THE DEAD HAVE NO GOD!

Luk 9:60, JESUS said to him, “LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR OWN DEAD, BUT YOU GO AND PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” 

There are many spiritually dead people walking this earth today, but as Christians we much preach the WORD to this dead world! FOR ONLY HIS WORD CAN BRING LIFE TO THE DEAD! SEEK HIM AND LIVE!

Jer 10:10, BUT THE LORD IS THE TRUE GOD; HE IS THE LIVING GOD AND THE EVERLASTING KING. AT HIS WRATH THE EARTH WILL TREMBLE, AND THE NATIONS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENDURE HIS INDIGNATION.

Psalm 46, HE is our refuge!

Psa 46:1, …God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

JESUS is our refuge in times of trouble! HE is a fortress to those seeking shelter!

Psa 18:2, The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 

Psa 46:2-3, THEREFORE WE WILL NOT FEAR, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. SELAH

The Psalmist considered the scariest situation and thought, “THE LORD IS STILL GREATER THAN MY WORST FEARS, WHY BE AFRAID”!

Psa 46:4, THERE IS A RIVER WHOSE STREAMS SHALL MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY PLACE OF THE TABERNACLE OF THE MOST HIGH. 

The city of GOD is a desert, but in the future, there will be a life-giving river flowing from the throne of GOD!

Rev 22:1, And he showed me A PURE RIVER OF WATER OF LIFE, CLEAR AS CRYSTAL, PROCEEDING FROM THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB.

Isa 44:3, FOR I WILL POUR WATER ON HIM WHO IS THIRSTY, AND FLOODS ON THE DRY GROUND; I WILL POUR MY SPIRIT ON YOUR DESCENDANTS, AND MY BLESSING ON YOUR OFFSPRING; 

GOD wants to pour HIS Spirit on us, not just a few drops of blessing but a river from the throne of GOD!

Joh 7:37-38, On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “IF ANYONE THIRSTS, LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, OUT OF HIS HEART WILL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.”

Psa 46:10, BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 

Be anxious for nothing for our hope is in GOD and if HE is with us then WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? SEEK THE LORD, TRUST IN HIM AND HIS STRENGTH!
