CHAPTER 14
SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 14, VS 1-3
1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 14,VS 1-3
v. 1– We are the strangers who will cleave to the house of Jacob.
We have more of a kinship with the Jewish people than most of us realize. When their eyes are opened at the end of the Age of Gentiles, we will all share the house of Abraham. v. 2– The people who will “take them and bring them to their place” are the Gentiles whom the Lord will work through to open the eyes of the Jewish people. The word for “possess” means also to give an inheritance–thus the Jewish people and the Gentiles who are chosen by God will share the inheritance of Abraham and Jacob, and will all, together, be servants and handmaids of the Lord. We all will “take them captives, whose captives we were”—When Jesus comes again, He will finish the Great Plan of Salvation and throw Satan in the Pit forever.
v. 3– And the Lord will give us rest from all the things that come from Satan and his bondage that he holds the world in. In the End, we will live forever with Jesus on the New Earth.
SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 14 VS 4-15—
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 14: VS 4-15
This shows the total defeat of satan at Calvary, and the visible showing of it at the end of time.
