Text of the page (random words):
to the valley of ben hinnom outside of jerusalem where the pagan canaanites and later some israelites sacrificed their children to idols this rendered that area unclean for anything except refuse piles and a place to pile up carcasses of defeated enemies and of dead animals what happens in refuse piles landfills in today s world maggots eat rotting things and fires are set to burn the trash it is stated by a number of scholars that the valley of ben hinnom was a landfill in jesus day and that he used this landfill as an example of a place of uncleanness and uselessness it was a place of destruction it was a place where no hope was left for the things deposited in it in that sense whether or not there is a literal burning hell we know that eternal separation from god is a place where those who have lived useless unclean lives will be consigned it is a place where there is no hope for escape although it seems as if the book of isaiah is ending on a dark note it is a very necessary note to warn everyone that we do not want to go to a place without hope and light and love posted by kim at 4 16 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday february 4 2025 the book of isaiah day 189 all nations and languages in the book of isaiah the lord has predicted the fall of the northern and southern kingdoms along with captivity in foreign lands but he has also promised a return to the land in addition to that he has promised a king to sit on the throne at jerusalem forever a forever in which no jewish or christian believers will ever fear being invaded again or taken captive again that is the time period which we are talking about today when jerusalem is built up and protected on every side and when no enemy will ever come against that city all the lord s people will rejoice when you see this your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass the hand of the lord will be made known to his servants but his fury will be shown to his foes isaiah 66 14 the lord will reward his servants and punish his enemies this theme is repeated time and time again throughout the scriptures in the era popularly known as the end times the lord will judge all wickedness and banish it from the earth forever see the lord is coming with fire and his chariots are like a whirlwind he will bring down his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire for with fire and with his sword the lord will execute judgment on all people and many will be those slain by the lord isaiah 66 15 16 all people doesn t mean that every person will be rebuked by him and judged it means that he will judge people from every nation and language this is made clear by our next verse those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs rats and other unclean things they will meet their end together with the one they follow declares the lord isaiah 66 17 this is a description of the type of idolatry that went on prior to and during the bible era and for quite sometime after that gentile nations did these things and so did the jewish people who fell into idolatry pagan idols would be set up in gardens and groves people would conduct all sorts of immoral and disgusting rituals there including the drinking of blood the eating of unclean things engaging in all manner of sexual immorality and even in some cultures performing human sacrifices in verse 17 the lord is announcing his intention to judge all idolatry the type of idolatry that existed in isaiah s day doesn t occur as much in our day but it has simply been replaced by other forms of idolatry an idol is anything or anyone that takes the place of god it involves rejecting him in favor of serving the things the flesh desires instead of serving what the holy spirit desires as the scriptures say do not be deceived god cannot be mocked a man reaps what he sows whoever sows to please their flesh from the flesh will reap destruction whoever sows to please the spirit from the spirit will reap eternal life galatians 6 7 8 as we conclude today s passage we get another glimpse of the final judgment to come in which the lord will call wicked idolaters from every nation and language to appear before his throne to have their deeds examined judged and sentenced and i because of what they have planned and done am about to come and gather the people of all nations and languages and they will come and see my glory isiah 66 18 the lord s glory includes judgment if he did not judge evil he would not be righteous if he were not righteous how would he deserve any glory everyone who has rejected him and denied his name will behold the glory of the lord and will have to admit that he exists and that he extended his offer of salvation to every nation and tongue they will have to admit they turned away his offer time and time again preferring darkness to light they will have to account for how they have hated him and for how they have hated and persecuted those who love him in the end times the lord will put down the largest and most heinous rebellion against himself and against his people that has ever been undertaken he will come with awesome fire and blazing glory at which time every knee will bow philippians 2 10 11 those who have placed their trust in him will bow in reverence and thanksgiving those who have rejected him will bow because they cannot help it this does not mean the wicked are saved by his appearing but that they will be unable to keep from falling to their knees when faced with the truth they will fall to their knees in fear and trembling but thanks be to god that those of us who have made him our lord will be overwhelmed not by fear and trembling but by joy that the kingdom of our lord has come posted by kim at 4 11 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday february 3 2025 the book of isaiah day 188 peace like a river as we concluded our last study session we found the lord promising isaiah s people that they would return to the land and that it would happen quickly and without war this is exactly how the captives were allowed to leave babylon after it was conquered by the medo persian empire not only were they allowed to return but they were even given supplies by the king who set them free the lord urges the people to trust him and not harbor any doubts just as he promised in our last study session that the nation would be born again he continues using that analogy do i bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery says the lord do i close up the womb when i bring to delivery says your god isaiah 66 9 the lord finishes what he starts he brings promises to completion he won t begin fulfilling a promise and then stop the people will rejoice over jerusalem just as parents rejoice over the birth of a dearly wanted child rejoice with jerusalem and be glad for her all you who love her rejoice greatly with her all you who mourn over her for you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance isaiah 66 10 11 they won t return to the land and starve to death the lord will provide everything they need you recall how the lord provided for the israelites when he led them out of egypt and across the wilderness how he provided for them both with natural resources and with supernatural resources he didn t lead them out into the wilderness in order to kill them though some wickedly accused him of having those intentions he took them out of egypt in order to bless them and make them into a great nation if he could provide water where there was no natural water and if he could provide food where there was no natural food he can certainly provide for them when they return to the promised land these promises for the nation of israel were not only for the time period after they were released from captivity but also for the millennial reign of christ and for the eternal reign of christ when jerusalem will be the capitol city of the whole world in those days the nation of israel will have no enemies the descendants of jacob will have peace on every side the gentile believers of the eternal kingdom will rejoice over jerusalem as the seat of the king of kings and lord of lords and they will bring the wealth of the nations into it as we see below for this is what the lord says i will extend peace to her like a river and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream you will burse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees as a mother comforts her child so will i comfort you and you will be comforted over jerusalem isaiah 66 12 13 jerusalem has been attacked and largely destroyed a number of times in history but a day is coming when no one will ever fear that happening again in the eternal kingdom when the population of the entire world is comprised only of believers everyone will live at peace with one another no one will attack no one will destroy the lord is faithful to his promises we go through tribulations and trials under the current world system but the current world system won t last forever the lord s eternal kingdom will posted by kim at 4 08 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday january 29 2025 the book of isaiah day 187 the one who brings back to life as we mentioned in yesterday s study the lord s message through isaiah was primarily to isaiah s people the israelites today s text has to do with the deliverance of jerusalem from her enemies however gentile believers can be comforted by isaiah s words in our text for jerusalem will someday be the capitol city of the whole world her restoration success and endurance is going to be important to all gentile believers as well as to all jewish believers when we concluded yesterday s text the lord made a reference to the city meaning jerusalem that is where we pick up today the reference to she is to be understood as a reference to jerusalem and also to israel as a whole before she goes into labor she gives birth before the pains come upon her she delivers a son who has ever heard of such things who has ever seen things like this can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment yet no sooner is zion in labor than she gives birth to her children isaiah 66 7 8 nations are not normally born without labor war revolution clearing of land building dwellings building infrastructure and setting up laws constitutions are usually involved but the giving birth of zion and the restoration of jerusalem will be the lord s work the release of the captives from babylon was done quickly and peacefully so they could return to their land and rebuild the captivity and release were approximately 130 years in the future in isaiah s day but just as he has predicted the coming captivity so also he predicts freedom and rebuilding i am sure that the other world powers of that era thought that israel was finished the northern kingdom was conquered by assyria and the southern kingdom was conquered by babylon all but the poorest and least skilled were removed from the land and the land was resettled with conquered people from other nations but the lord accomplished exactly what he said he was going to accomplish no one thought it was possible except those israelites who kept the faith and this is why the lord says who has ever heard of such things who has ever seen things like this most nations that have been conquered and destroyed or nearly destroyed do not rise from the ashes at all the ones that do don t accomplish it without a fight but the lord fights for israel and he accomplished the return to the land without them having to lift a sword indeed he accomplished the return by having them sent home with building materials given to them by the king who set them free they did not return empty handed the lord never breaks a promise the one who is able to resurrect from the dead can certainly resurrect nations he can also resurrect broken relationships and bring them back to life he can rebuild he can heal hearts and bring hope back to life there is nothing too difficult for him whatever needs you may have today take them to him he is the source of all our help posted by kim at 4 15 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday january 28 2025 the book of isaiah day 186 the lord repays his enemies and ours in yesterday s study we found the lord warning of judgment against those who rejected his pleas to repent of their wickedness today he speaks words of comfort to those who have been persecuted by the wicked as we read these verses we need to keep in mind that the message the lord gave to isaiah was primarily intended for isaiah s people the israelites this is why the lord speaks so many times of jerusalem often referenced as the city in our previous chapter and in this chapter but gentile believers can claim the lord s promises as well he will avenge us too the lord sees every wrong done to his children and he will not ignore harm done to his children although many of isaiah s people had rejected the lord entirely or had blended idolatry with their worship of the lord there were still people who trusted in his name just as though there are still people on earth today who trust in his name to those people the lord says hear the word of the lord you who tremble at his word your own people who hate you and exclude you because of my name have said let the lord be glorified that we may see your joy yet they will be put to shame hear that uproar from the city hear that noise from the temple it is the sound of the lord repaying his enemies all they deserve isaiah 66 5 6 the people of isaiah s day who were living wrong hated the people who were living right they hated the lord s prophets and they hated the citizens who remained faithful to him they didn t give them equal opportunities they shunned them publicly and even plotted to kill some of them and in some cases were successful the lord s faithful ones were mocked and treated like outcasts while mistreating the lord s people they d say let s see you glorify him now prove to us he is with you if he is with you wouldn t he strike us down the enemies of christ said the same type of things to him when they struck him they shouted prophesy to us and when he hung on the cross they mocked him saying let the lord rescue him if he is pleased with him ah but the lord will avenge those who are his he will judge those who have hated his son and he will judge those who have hated those who are his children through faith our enemies are his enemies that is why he says in verse 6 above that he will repay his enemies all they deserve a day is coming in which the lord will right every wrong a day is coming in which his enemies must stand before him to answer the charges against them jews and christians have been persecuted ...
