Judgment Against the Nations - Isaiah 34

Hello again!  As you can see I am once again reading through the book of Isaiah, today it's Chapter 34.  There is a total of 66 chapters in Isaiah and it is the 3rd largest book in the Bible.  Isaiah was one of the Lord's most trusted prophets.  He was a poet and well educated.  The Lord trusted that he would speak the Word of God with Truth.  

The Prophet Isaiah was primarily called to prophesy to the Kingdom of Judah. Judah was going through times of revival and times of rebellion. Judah was threatened with destruction by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared because of God’s mercy. Isaiah proclaimed a message of repentance from sin and hopeful expectation of God’s deliverance in the future. 

While these are words of the past events, these events have come full circle several times and are once again upon us.  The difference is that one of the Nations now included here is the United States.  The United States has lost it's way from God.  We see it being exposed everyday.  From human trafficking, greed, porn, gossip, judgement of others, and all the other filth happening.  It relies on corrupt leaders (this includes global religious leaders and foreign leaders) to control it and they have different ideas than God's people.  

Isaiah calls for repentance from sin and  hopeful expectation of God’s deliverance in the future.  This will be the only way to save this country.  As I said before, we are in the days of Noah and if we choose not to repent and come back to the Lord we will face the Wrath of God.  God knows where our hearts are, each and every one of us.

While you may not be believers, you should consider it very seriously and change your ways.  

For myself, I repent everyday, as we are sinners and I find it necessary to protect  myself.  Sometimes we sin just because we live in this world and are around others who may influence your thoughts. I don't live in the past but I do repent for my words, my thoughts, and my deeds. Daily. I read the bible daily and pray for the restoration of family and country.

Messiah warned them: I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear. Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has the power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him (Luke 12:4-5).

We are watching the destruction of the World, whether you see it or not is up to you. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear. 

 Israel will fall and it will happen fast, in one day says the bible. and everyone will see it. Prophesy is happening before our eyes, everyday!

 If the United States falls, the world will also fall.  Just my understanding. 

Isaiah used these two nations, Edom and Bozrah as examples, however his words are meant for ALL nations.

Judgment Against the Nations

1 Come here and listen, O nations of the earth. Let the world and everything in it hear my words.

2 For the LORD is enraged against the nations. His fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them, dooming them to slaughter.

3 Their dead will be left unburied, and the stench of rotting bodies will fill the land. The mountains will flow with their blood.

4 The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled-up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky like withered leaves from a grapevine, or shriveled figs from a fig tree.

5 And when my sword has finished its work in the heavens, it will fall upon Edom, the nation I have marked for destruction.

6 The sword of the LORD is drenched with blood and covered with fat— with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice. Yes, the LORD will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah. He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.

7 Even men as strong as wild oxen will die— the young men alongside the veterans. The land will be soaked with blood and the soil enriched with fat.

8 For it is the day of the LORD ’s revenge, the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.

9 The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch, and the ground will be covered with fire.

10 This judgment on Edom will never end; the smoke of its burning will rise forever. The land will lie deserted from generation to generation. No one will live there anymore.

11 It will be haunted by the desert owl and the screech owl, the great owl and the raven. For God will measure that land carefully; he will measure it for chaos and destruction.

12 It will be called the Land of Nothing, and all its nobles will soon be gone.

13 Thorns will overrun its palaces; nettles and thistles will grow in its forts. The ruins will become a haunt for jackals and a home for owls.

14 Desert animals will mingle there with hyenas, their howls filling the night. Wild goats will bleat at one another among the ruins, and night creatures will come there to rest.

15 There the owl will make her nest and lay her eggs. She will hatch her young and cover them with her wings. And the buzzards will come, each one with its mate.

16 Search the book of the LORD, and see what he will do. Not one of these birds and animals will be missing, and none will lack a mate, for the LORD has promised this. His Spirit will make it all come true.

17 He has surveyed and divided the land and deeded it over to those creatures. They will possess it forever, from generation to generation.

If you have never read this book of Isaiah you should.
