ISAIAH, CHAPTER 25, VS 6-12

SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 25, VS 6-12

“6.And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.”

 

APPLICATION: CHAPTER 25, VS 6-9

This is the Second Coming of Christ…..— When Jesus will put His feet down on Mount Zion, the destruction of the earth and judgment of the evil ones who built the world system that corrupted it, will take place in the “twinkling of a eye”, when “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

  1. He will take the veil off the eyes of all people. All people will see Him in His powerful glory—-His people will recognize Him and feel His Great Love, and the evil ones will fear Him and feel His great wrath!  His Chosen People, the Jews, will see Him as their Messiah, and as their God, and His Great Plan will come full circle…..the blinding of His Chosen Nation (by which we, as Gentiles were saved) will be over, and they will see HIM!!!
  2. 1 Cor. 15:54…”So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. “ The last enemy, Death, shall be conquored, after Satan and his minions.”
  3. —-12..and He will bring down all the evil ones with one sweep of His hands!

PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD!

ISAIAH, CHAPTER 25, V 1-5

ISAIAH, CHAPTER 25, VS 1-5

SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 25, VS 1-4

1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

APPLICATION: CHAPTER 25, VS 1-4

 1-2– “A palace of strangers”–These are people who are not fully devoted to the Lord in spirit….ranging from those working against Him, those in power in the world order, those who are indifferent to Him, and those who claim to be worshiping Him, but are only doing so in their minds, and not in Spirit. John 4:23-24 says we must worship Him in Spirit and Truth. All these are strangers to Him in their spirits. Another meaning of the original word translated strangers is adulterers.

Their defense is of themselves, and it will not hold when God’s judgment falls.

v. 3-4– But those who are His people in every way, denouncing the things of this world, are strong in Jesus Christ. He is their strength in everything. Again He brings up about the wall. We must always keep our wall up by staying in the Word, and keeping our minds on Him.

SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 25, VS 5

 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

APPLICATION: CHAPTER 25, VS 5

v. 5– Those who worship with rituals and empty words make a useless noise in God’s ears, and it adds to destruction as heat adds to the dryness of a dry place, because they think they’re doing o.k. and seek no further relationship with Him, and the shadow of the cloud of Spiritual death hangs over them. This is a very powerful verse, and encompasses many people who call themselves “Christian” and many “christian” denominations who rely on rituals and self-vindication to try to impress God. It is interesting that God’s Word puts them in the same group as the evil ones who are working against the Lord. Mt 7:14 “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
