Wonderful Things

[keras]

Isaiah 25:1-2 Lord, You are my God, I shall exult and praise You, for You have done wonderful things, long planned and sure. You have turned cities into heaps of ruin, fortifications into rubble. Buildings are swept away, never to be rebuilt. For this, many cruel nations will then respect You and treat You with awe.

Isaiah 25:4a & 9 Truly, You have been a refuge to the poor and a help to the needy in their distress, a shelter from the tempest and shade from the heat. On that Day, people will say: See this is our God – we have waited for Him and He will deliver us. This is the Lord, for whom we have waited, let us rejoice and exult in His deliverance.

Isaiah 25:4b & 11-12 For the enmity of the godless is like a storm, like the desert heat, but You silence the clamour of the foe and their noise dies away. For the hand of the Lord will come upon this mountain and the inhabitants will be trampled under Him, as straw is trodden into a dunghill. They will try to escape, but the Lord will bring down their pride, despite their clever plans. He will destroy the fortified defences, they will be brought down to dust.

Isaiah 26:4-6 Trust in the Lord forever! For He is an eternal Rock, He humbles all those high and mighty dwellers of a towering city. He levels it to the ground – lays it to the dust, so that the oppressed may tread it underfoot.
Reference: REB, NIV, KJV. Some verses abridged.


You silence the enemy – Those who hate Israel. Psalms 83:13-17, Isaiah 34:2-3

despite their clever plans – They devise a cunning plot against them. Psalms 83:2

this mountain – this refers to the holy Land. Micah 4:2

the inhabitants trampled – All of the Middle East virtually wiped out. Ezekiel 30:2-5

cities ruined – The fire storms and earthquakes of a huge CME will do this. Isaiah 17:1-3, Habakkuk 3:12-13, Revelation 6:12-17

the proud dwellers of a tall city – Babylon; all the ungodly peoples. Jeremiah 50:22-24, Revelation 18:8

fortresses and defences into rubble – All military installations, missiles, etc will be destroyed. Psalms 76:3, Amos 5:9

nations will be in awe – All false religions and gods will be discredited. Isaiah 2:17-18, Isaiah 66:17

refuge to the poor and needy – This is a metaphor for the Lord’s righteous people. Isaiah 41:17, Psalms 70:1-5

He will deliver us – those who keep the faith and trust the Lord. Psalms 72:12-14

shade from the heat – the strike on earth of a superheated Coronal Mass Ejection. Isaiah 30:26, Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 31:5, Isaiah 60:2, Zephaniah 2:3, Psalm 61:1-5

on that day – The Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, the next prophesied event. His enemies are punished, but His faithful Christian believers will be protected and will soon move into the holy Land, to fulfil their destiny.

Our Hope and our Destiny:
The Prophetic Word tells us how the Lord will save and protect His people during His terrible Day of wrath, the soon to happen Sixth Seal punishment of the ungodly peoples and the reset of our civilization.
Then those who kept strong in their faith will be gathered and will migrate into all of the holy Land. Psalms 107, Ezekiel 34:11-16 and Isaiah 66:18b-21, Isaiah 35:1-10, Romans 9:24-26, are some of the best prophesies about this.

We Christians are the Lord's people, His chosen; John 15:18, 1 Peter 2:8-10, and we are the people; the nation, who bear the proper fruit. Matthew 21:43.
We will, in the holy Land be His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10, John 15:27 and His Light to the nations. Isaiah 49:8, Acts 13:47, Ezekiel 39:27
Basically there is no need for anyone, other than the 2 Witnesses to go to heaven, Revelation 11:12, and they do not stay there, as Jesus Returns just then and they are resurrected along with all the rest of the GT martyrs. Revelation 20:4

The whole idea of a rapture removal of Christians to heaven, is not part of God's plan for His people. We are made to live on earth, God has angels in heaven.

Therefore, a body change is not necessary or logical, before the final wrap up after the Millennium and only then will all those whose names are written in the Book of Life, receive immortality and be with God for Eternity, when God and; therefore, heaven will be on the new earth. Revelation 21:1-4

This old world staggers along, from disaster to crisis, wars, earthquakes, storms, droughts, all now fairly normal occurrences. But God’s plans will soon come to fruition. The shocking and earth shattering Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster; will set the scene for a sequence of events, culminating in the Lord Jesus’ glorious Return. This event will constitute the Lord’s judgement on Judah [the current inhabitants of Israel] and all the surrounding nations. Zephaniah 2:1-5, Amos 1 & 2:1-5

THEN, the entire holy Land will be regenerated and His people, the righteous Christian Israelites of God will come to live there, in peace and security. They will rebuild the Temple and prepare for the eventual Return of Jesus

The nations:
Ezekiel 36:7 Therefore, says the Lord, the nations round about Israel will endure rebuke. Jeremiah 10:18, Romans 1:18, [the coming Day of the Lord’s wrath, resulting in the judgement of ‘the evil neighbours’. Jeremiah 12:14]

The Jews:
Jeremiah 7:20 I will pour out My anger on Judah, on man and beast, trees and crops – it will be unquenched. [The Land, virtually wiped bare] Zephaniah 1:14-18, Isaiah 29:1-4.
But the Lord says: only a short while, before He will regenerate it:

Ezekiel 36:8 But you, mountains of Israel, put forth your branches and yield fruit for My people, Israel, for their homecoming is near. [My people, all faithful Christians, gathered, judged and settled into all of the Promised Land. Ezekiel 20:34-35]

Ezekiel 16:52 It is you, Judah, that must bear the humiliation – for your sins have pleaded your sisters cause, your conduct is so much more abominable than theirs, that they appear innocent in comparison. Now you must bear your shame.

Ezekiel 16:53 I shall restore the fortunes of your sisters, Sodom and Samaria, [the 10 northern tribes of Israel] and yours [the House of Judah] too at the same time.

Ezekiel 16:55 When your sisters become what they were of old, then your daughters will be restored likewise.

Ezekiel 16:63 You [Judah] will remember your conduct and be so ashamed and humiliated that you will never open your mouth again, once I have pardoned you.
Isaiah 40:1-5 Comfort My people, their term of bondage served – penalty paid.
Clear a road through the desert for the Lord, level the ground. Isaiah 40:31 Those who look to the Lord, will gain new strength…

Isaiah 43:19 I am about to do something new. Through the wilderness I will make a way.

Micah 2:12-13 I shall assemble you, the whole House of Israel [all 12 tribes, plus those grafted in] herded like sheep. Now; every faithful Christian person.
Micah 4:6 I shall gather and restore the lost as a remnant, turned into a mighty nation.

Hosea 2:14-23 But now, I shall woo My people and lead them into the wilderness. I shall speak words of encouragement to them. I shall betroth you to Myself forever. Israel, [the Israelites of God, Galatians 6:16] will be My new sowing in the Land. I say- you are My people and they will say- you are our God. Romans 9:24-26

Isaiah 32:14-18 Houses are forsaken and streets deserted – the Land a waste to the delight of the donkeys and flocks.

Until the Spirit from on High is poured upon us, and then the wilderness will become garden land.

Justice and righteousness will prevail throughout the Land. My people will live peacefully, in secure homes.

Isaiah 32:19-20 Despite damage to vegetation and buildings, you will be blessed with ample water, crops and grazing land.

Isaiah 35:1-10 Let the wilderness be glad, the desert rejoice and flower. The Land will again show the glory of Lebanon, Carmel and Sharon, these will see the glory of the Lord.

Strengthen yourselves, say to those with fearful hearts- be strong. For your God comes to save you, with His vengeance and retribution. [Against your enemies]
Then the blind will see, the deaf hear, all disabilities cured. Water will flow in the desert, where jackals once roamed.

A highway will appear – called the way of Holiness. No unclean person will pass on it. Wicked fools cannot trespass on it. No dangerous beast will come there. But, by that way the Lords redeemed will return.

The Lords people, set free will come back and enter the Land with shouts of joy and triumph. Gladness and joy will come upon them –
All suffering and sorrow will flee away.

Isaiah 43:10 refers to Jesus:

10 “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,

And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.

Isaiah 43:1-12, is all unfulfilled Prophecy; for the end times.

Isaiah 43:1-12, is all unfulfilled Prophecy; for the end times.

And most of all of the OT and the Gospels are all and speak of Israel and the 14 books that Paul wrote are for the Body

of Christ and Isa 42 the. Lord is speaking to Israel !!

When we honestly examine the biblical record, it becomes clear that the so-called “lost” tribes of Israel are not really lost at all. Rather, it is their identity as Israel that has been lost. Thus, as we search for the “lost” tribes, we should not look for a Sabbath-keeping people who call themselves Israel. Indeed, as the exiled northern ten tribes wandered from the Middle East, they were known by other names; such as Cimmerians, Scythians, Celts, Saxons, etc. names historians and researchers have not linked to ancient Israel, mostly because it doesn’t fit with their beliefs. They say the Western peoples are Caucasians and either ignore how they got to the Caucasus region, or tout fanciful stories of Neanderthals and fossils.

When Jesus sent the twelve out to preach the Gospel, He said: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans [Gentiles who displaced the northern tribes]; but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:5-6
Jesus and His disciples knew the whereabouts of the “lost” northern tribes—and that they, in fact, were the “house of Israel.” Why do we hear almost nothing of the original apostles after about 60 AD? After preaching the Gospel to the Jews and being rejected by them, the apostles took the Gospel to the northern tribes where they had become re-established in new lands. During the years immediately preceding the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, we hear nothing of Peter and James? Why? They went, as Christ instructed, to the “lost” tribes of Israel and the Gospel was accepted by them; now the Christianized Western nations. Jesus’ Mission WAS successful!

Prior to the House of Israel going into captivity, the prophet Amos 9:8-10, quoted God as saying: Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful [Israelite] kingdom, and I will erase it from the face of the earth [it would disappear as a kingdom]; except that I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob [Israel],’ says the

LORD. ‘For lo, I will command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes with a sieve, yet not a grain shall fall to the earth.
That is, the Israelites as a people would not be utterly lost or destroyed. Amos 9:8-9

As a nation, the northern kingdom vanished in captivity and was later “sifted” among numerous countries. But it was not utterly subsumed by them. This truth shows how amazing God’s plan is; His chosen people hidden amongst the nations, who will fulfil the prayer of Solomon: 2 Chronicles 6:36-39

Writing during the Jews’ captivity in Babylon, (135 years after the fall of Samaria) Daniel refers as well to those Israelites who were afar off, scattered throughout many nations, Daniel 9:7, but not lost to God.
After suffering decades of harsh punishment in captivity, significant numbers of Israelites would migrate toward the northwest, re-establishing themselves in various areas. Over time they would re-emerge as Christians, from every tribe, race nation and language, yet ignorant of their own true identity!
Contrary to misinformed scholars and those with another agenda, the ancient House of Israel was not “irretrievably lost”—for God has decreed that they would remain His people. In fact, their modern descendants are the majority in several of today’s nations. Moreover, the House of Israel is yet to be reunited with the House of Judah in the latter days in the, as the unfulfilled prophecy of Ezekiel 37:16-22 describes.
