Greetings dear ones in the name of Jesus Christ and welcome back to The Three Minute Word blog focused Monday through Thursday on the Book of Isaiah. We certainly do appreciate the friends and partners of this Ministry. You are a blessing and encouragement. Having said that I must remind you and me that the Lord, our Savior is our primary Blessing and we encourage ourselves in Him. Our blessings and encouragements come through other peoples but originate with the Lord. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible expanding the reach of this Ministry with the good news. The featured picture today is of the Connecticut State House to remind us to pray for government, those in authority. Don’t forget we are commanded to not only honor, and obey those in authority, but to also pray for them. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the wonderful Book of Isaiah. Of course, continue to read out loud.
Isaiah 14:18-23 (KJV)
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
In the preceding passage God through Isaiah seems to be talking not only about the fall of Lucifer and his outcome but that of his children as well. Remember how Jesus told the Pharisees their father was the devil. This is what is being talked about here, the sons of the devil (people) who refused the wonderful gift of salvation.
Ezekiel 28:12-19 (TLB)
12 “Son of dust, weep for the king of Tyre. Tell him, ’The Lord God says: You were the perfection of wisdom and beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; your clothing was bejeweled with every precious stone—ruby, topaz, diamond, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald—all in beautiful settings of finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created.
14 I appointed you to be the anointed Guardian Angel. You had access to the holy mountain of God. You walked among the stones of fire.
15 “’You were perfect in all you did from the day you were created until that time when wrong was found in you.
16 Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil, and you sinned. Therefore, I cast you out of the mountain of God like a common sinner. I destroyed you, O Guardian Angel, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. Therefore, I have cast you down to the ground and exposed you helpless before the curious gaze of kings.
18 You defiled your holiness with lust for gain; therefore, I brought forth fire from your own actions and let it burn you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those watching you.
19 All who know you are appalled at your fate; you are an example of horror; you are destroyed forever.’ ”
This talks about Lucifer before his fall and a third of Heavens angels with him. And we think we are too smart for the devils, think again. This created angelic being was filled with wisdom and was very beautiful. We see him clothed with precious stones of the earth which were removed when he was thrown from Heaven to earth. Lucifer had access to Heaven and the very throne of God. Verse 15 tells us clearly that he is a created being, he is not like us, he is a fallen angel and we are made in the image and likeness of God. We are in the God class, Lucifer and the fallen angels are in the angel class considerably inferior to us, to God. Love of wealth and not God was his downfall. Remember we are told in Scripture that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). The one known as Lucifer is destroyed forever just as those angel who followed him in the rebellion. Likewise, the children of evil are perished (destroyed) forever. If you are not saved, now is the day of salvation, receive Him today, receive eternal life, and enter the Kingdom of God.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
