A VERY interesting and informative scripture, jgr.Isaiah 65
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
Acts 11:26
And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Here it is in a modern translation:
Isaiah 65:11-15 But those who forsake the Lord, all who look to the gods of fate and destiny, I shall put you to the Sword and you will all submit to the slaughter, for when I called you did not respond and when I spoke, you did not listen. You did what was wrong in My sight and chose what displeased Me.
Therefore the Lord says: My servants will eat and drink, while you go hungry, My servants will rejoice, while you are put to shame.....
Your name will be used as a curse by My chosen ones and the Lord will slay you, but His servants, He will call by another name.
This prophecy is about Israel, specifically the Jewish people; how the Lord has appealed to them for a long time, but they still rebel and continue on in their evil ways. Isaiah 65:2-3
Now their fate is death. Isaiah 22:14, Jeremiah 10:18, Amos 2:4-5, Luke 19:27
THEN - Isaiah 65:8-10 says; there will be a remnant from Jacob, along with His chosen ones, who will possess the holy Land. Those who serve Him will live there. The Land and livestock will belong to My people, those who seek Me.
R.E.Bible, some verses abridged.
This scripture plainly states that the Lord's people, His chosen ones, are a remnant of Jacob, joined to a majority of faithful Christians, all who seek and serve Him.
This truth blows away any crazy 'rapture to heaven' nonsense, as our Christian destiny is the be the people God always wanted in His Land and we are there when the 'beast', the Anti-Christ conquers us. Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:7.
This will be the final test of faith for us and some will be taken to safety, the rest face further testing. Revelation 12:17.
