Lessons Not Learned – Isaiah 5:25-31
Lessons Not Learned – Isaiah 5:25-31
The people have turned away and Isaiah sees about what is going to happen. He sees the banners of distance nations. They have been summoned and they come swift and speedily. They have a mission. And a goal. They will not stumble, slip, slumber, or sleep. On the journey not a belt is loosed from the waist and or strap on the sandal is broke. They have sharp arrow and bows that are already strung and ready to be loosed. Their horses’ hoofs are like flint that means no terrain is going to stop them. They have chariots that are fast and powerful.
They are like lions that no one can resist. There will no one to rescue the people. They shall over run the land like a roaring sea. They will take the people into captivity. It will seem that even the land will be darkened. The sun will be darkened y the clouds. Isaiah sees for Judah the Babylonian conquest of the land and the exile of the people. The reason for all this is the people have rejected God and gone after idols. It seems tragic that history seems to repeat itself over and over because mankind does not seem to learn it.

March 21 – The Realm of the Undead - Isaiah 14:15-21
March 21 – The Realm of the Undead - Isaiah 14:15-21
This is where the thought that satan rules in the realm of the undead. The undead look at him and say is this the one who shook the nations and made kingdom tremble. This individual who overthrew cities, made the world a wilderness and sent captive’s home. The kings have a place to dwell but satan does not. He is like Cain a vagabond. Ob starts with satan going about to and fro through out the earth.
Next Isaiah sees that satan is about destruction, slaughter, and revenge. This is also a direct prophecy again to Babylon as well because they have been instruments of the enemy. Jesus revealed in John 10:10 the MO of the enemy and that was to rob kill and destroy.

March 19 – All the Same - Isaiah 14:5-11
March 19 – All the Same - Isaiah 14:5-11
The Lord has broken the rod and scepters of the wicked and their rulers. He has struck down and subdued the aggression of the nations and people. In that day the lands will be at peace and rest. There will be singing and even creation with trees shall be at rest.
There will be a time where all the inhabitants of the realm of the dead will meet the people of Baylon and remind them despite their pomp and ceremony they were just like them, and their end is the same as all. A little lesson all people end up the same place unless they have a divine intervention.

March 15 – More Coming – Isaiah 13:6-13
March 15 – More Coming – Isaiah 13:6-13
The outcry against Babylon is great because of the day of the Lord. This destruction is from the hand of the Almighty. Heart will be filled with fear and hands will go limp. There will be no strength for defense. They will be filled with pain and anguish. It will pain equal to a woman in labor. They will look at each other and their faces will show what is going on in their heart and life.
This is a warning the day of the Lord is coming. It will be cruel, full of wrath and fierce anger. The land will be desolate and all sinners within the boundaries of this kingdom will be destroyed. The heavenlies will be affected. The Lord is punishing the world for its evil, wickedness, and sins. The arrogance of the haughty and the pride of the ruthless will be humbled.
Isaiah uses the example of how rare the gold of Ophir was and so will be the people. There will earth shaking events. They will face the wrath and anger of the Lord. Isaiah is laying out the reason for judgment. This has not happened, but it will.

March 14 – Babylon Judged – Isaiah 13:1-5
March 14 – Babylon Judged – Isaiah 13:1-5
The prophet sees over one hundred years in the future. Prophecy has both a short and long view. He sees the Babylonian empire being destroyed. When God is finished using a pagan people, he judges them for what they do to others. The city is going to become a bare hilltop. The gates where the nobles gather will be destroyed.
Warrior have been summoned for battle to carry out he Lord’s wrath and they will rejoice in their triumph. The once mighty Babylon is being humbled. The noise of the army will shake the mountains. There will be an uproar as the nations gather. The Lord almighty is mustering an army for war. They come from lands far away and from the ends of heaven. The Lord is judging Babylon and his intent is to destroy the whole country. Babylon is paying back for the many sins they committed against Israel and Judah.
