AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH
Wednesday – December 21, 2022, Kislev 27, 5783
YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE THE BARBARIANS
Greetings precious brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are not a brother or sister in Christ you can be in just a few moments.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
If you prayed this prayer and were translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His (the Fathers’) dear Son (saved), send us a note about the good news. You will not regret this decision especially on the day your body dies. Everybody in this life chooses either Heaven or Hell, God does not choose, we choose. If you think you know what opposites are, you are at a new unimaginable level when comparing Heaven and Hell. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. The featured picture this week except for Thursday will be depicting the Prophet Isaiah prophesying. Moving forward, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text continuing to read out loud.
Isaiah 33:17-20 (HCSB)
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; you will see a vast land.
18 Your mind will meditate on the ⌊past⌋ terror: “Where is the accountant? Where is the tribute collector? Where is the one who spied out our defenses?”
19 You will no longer see the barbarians, a people whose speech is difficult to comprehend— who stammer in a language that is not understood.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our festival times. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up nor will any of its cords be loosened.
We are all, I hope, looking forward to seeing the King in all His beauty and that vast land known as Heaven. As we enter this latter part of chapter thirty-three it seems clear to me that we are being given a view into the time of the Messiahs’ reign from Jerusalem. This is what is commonly referred to as the Millennial or 1000-year reign of Christ before the new Heaven and new earth. Here is perhaps another glimpse.
Isaiah 11:6-9 (HCSB)
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together, and a child will lead them.
7 The cow and the bear will graze, their young ones will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit, and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
9 None will harm or destroy ⌊another⌋ on My entire holy mountain, for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is filled with water.
Perhaps this would better describe the new Heaven and the new earth where there is no more curse (Revelation 22:3).
Revelation 21:1-5 (KJV)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Notice the phrase, “I make all things new”. As we look at these passages, we see again the creation of Genesis chapters one and two.
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.
