Distress for the Rebellious Children Who Take Counsel of False gods |
Isaiah 30:1-33 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to the rebellious children, [a.k.a. people,] that [get advice,] but not [from] Me, [says] the Lord, & [who] [cover] [themselves,] with a covering, but not [from] My spirit, [so] that they may add sin, to sin.] |
[Isaiah 25:7 And [on] this mountain, He will destroy the [veil] that is spread over all nations, & the face covering [thrown] over all [the] people. ] |
[Those] [who] walk, to go down into Egypt, to strengthen themselves in [Pharaoh's] strength, & to trust in the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Egypt, & haven't asked [for a response from] My Mouth! [Psalm 17:8-9 Keep me [like] the apple of the eye, & hide me under the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Your wings, from the wicked [who] oppress me, & from my deadly enemies, who [surround around] me.] |
Therefore, the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, & [your] trust in the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Egypt, [shall be] your confusion. [Isaiah 31:1 Woe to [those, who] go down to Egypt for help; & [rely] on horses, & trust in chariots; & horsemen, because [there] are many, & they are very strong. But they [don't] look to the Holy One of Israel, neither [do they] seek the Lord!] |
[Hane's] ambassadors came to [him,] & his princes were [in] Zoan. They were all ashamed of a people, [who] couldn't [benefit] them, nor be [of any] help, nor profit, but [only were] a shame, & also a [disgrace.] [Isaiah 19:11 Surely, the princes of Zoan are fools. The counsel of the wise, & [Pharaoh’s counselors have] become [foolish.] How [do] you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?] |
The burden, [a.k.a. vision,] of the beasts of the South: they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young [mules,] & [carry] their treasures upon the [haunches] of camels, into the land of trouble, & anguish, from [where] the young & old [lions,] the [cobra,] & the fiery, flying serpent come to a people, [who] shall not [benefit] them. |
[2 Kings 17:6-8 [During] the 9th year of Hoshea, [a.k.a. Hosea, Assyria's] king, [captured] Samaria, & carried away Israel into Assyria, & placed them in Hallah & in Habor, by the Gozan River, & in the cities of the Medes. For it was so, that the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, [Who] had brought them up, out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king, & had feared, [a.k.a. respected,] other gods, which they had made, & walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in the [mandates] of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, & the kings of Israel.] |
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, & [be ineffective.] Therefore, I have cried [out] [about] this. Their strength is to sit still. Now, go, & write it [in front of] them in a [tablet,] & note it in a book, [so] that it may be for the time to come, forever & ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children. |
Children, [a.k.a. people, who] won't hear the Law of the Lord. [Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me, & said, Write the vision & make it plain upon [tablets, so] that he, [who reads] it may run, [a.k.a. flee.] For the vision is [still] for an appointed time, but at the end it shall [tell,] & not lie [still:] [although] it [delays,] wait for it; because it will surely [happen,] it won't [linger.] |
[Who] say to the seer, [Don't] see, & [they say] to the prophets, [Don't] prophesy to us [righteous] things. Speak to us [pleasant] things, & prophesy [what is;] [deceitful.] [2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they won't endure sound doctrine; but they [will go astray] after their own lusts, [a.k.a. desires,] & & having itching ears, [to hear something,] they [shall] heap teachers to themselves. And they shall turn their ears away from the Truth, & shall be turned to fables.] |
You, get out of the [road,] & turn, & [go astray] out of the path, & [make it so] [the message from] the Holy One of Israel [stops] from [being spoken] before us. |
[For this reason, the Holy One of Israel [says this,] Because you despise this Word, & trust in oppression, & [wickedness,] & [rely on them;] Therefore, this [sinfulness] shall be to you [like] a [crack extending in] a high wall, ready to fall, whose breaking [comes] suddenly, [in] an instant. [Isaiah 5:22-24 Woe, [a.k.a. Distress] to [those who] are mighty to drink wine, & men of strength to [mix] strong [drinks.] Who justify the wicked for reward, [a.k.a. bribes,] & take away the [rights] of the righteous away from him! [Therefore, [like] fire [devours] the stubble, & the flame [consumes] the chaff, [a.k.a. grain hulls, like this,] their root shall be [like] [its] [rotten,] & their blossom shall go up [like] dust: because they have [thrown] away the Law of the Lord of Hosts, & despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.] |
And He shall break it, [like] the breaking of the potter's [hardened clay] vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare: so that there shall not be found a [sharp] shard [from][ its] bursting, to take fire from the [fireplace] hearth, [like with a scoop.] [Jeremiah 19:10-13 Then, you [shall] break the bottle in the sight of the men, [who] go with you, & [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts, [says this;] Even so, I will break this people & this city, [like someone breaks] a potter's [clay] vessel, that can't be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet, [until there's] no place [left] to bury. I will do [this] to this place, & to [its] inhabitants, & even make this city [like] Tophet, [says] the Lord. And the houses of Jerusalem, & the houses of [Judah's] kings, shall be defiled [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the incense they have burned upon the roofs of houses to all the host, [a.k.a. stars, & constellations,] of heaven, & have poured out drink offering to other gods.] |
Or to take water out of the pit [a.k.a. cistern, with it.] For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, [says this;] You shall be saved, in returning, & rest. Your strength shall be in quietness & in confidence, [but] you wouldn't [do this.] |
[Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets, & stone [those who] are sent to [warn] you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen [gathers] her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord.] |
But you said, No; for we will flee, & ride upon the swift horses. Therefore, you shall flee. Therefore, [those who] pursue you shall be swift. 1,000 shall flee at the rebuke, [a.k.a. sharp criticism,] of 1. At the [sharp criticism] of 5, you shall flee: [until] [only] you [are] left [alone,] like a beacon, [a.k.a. lamp,] on top of a mountain, [like] a [flag] on a hill. |
And therefore, the Lord will wait, [so] that He may be gracious to you. And therefore, He will be exalted, [so] that He may have mercy upon you. For the Lord is a God of judgment, [a.k.a. justice.] Blessed are all [those who] wait for Him. |
[Revelation 3:19-22 As many as I love, I [reprimand & chastise.] Therefore, be zealous, & repent. [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him [who overcomes,] to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne. He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches.] |
For the people shall dwell [at] Zion [in] Jerusalem. You [shall] no [longer] weep. [Revelation 7:16-17 They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the light [of the] sun, nor any heat [scorch] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, & shall lead them to Fountains of Living Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] |
He will be very gracious to you, at the [sound] of your [out] cry, & when He shall hear it, He will answer you. [1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, & His ears are open to their prayers. But the face of the Lord is against [those, who] do [what is:] [evil.] |
And [although] the Lord [gives] you the bread of adversity, & the water of affliction, [still,] your teachers [of faith,] shall not be removed into a corner anymore. [Jeremiah 31:33-34 *But this shall be the covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] that I will make with the house of Israel. The Lord [says,] After those days, I will put My Law [within] [them,] & write it in their hearts, & will be their God, & they shall be My people. *And every man [of] [them,] shall no [longer] teach: his [neighbor,] & his brother, saying Know the Lord. For they shall all Know Me, from the [powerless,] to the [powerful] of them, [says] the Lord. For I will forgive their [sinfulness,] & I will no [longer] remember their sin.] |
But your eyes shall see your teachers, & your ears shall hear [these] [words] behind you, saying, When you turn to the right hand [side,] or you turn to the left, This is the [path,] you, walk in it. [Joshua 1:7 You, only be strong, & very courageous, [so] that you [may obey,] & do according to all the Law, [that] Moses, My servant, commanded you. [Don't] turn from it to the right hand, or to the left, [so] that you [may] prosper [where] you [go.] |
You shall also defile the silver [coating] of your [carved] images, & the gold ornament of your [molded] images. You [shall throw] them away, [like] a [monthly cycle pad.] You [shall] say to it, You [get away from here.] [Isaiah 31:7 For [on] that day, every man shall [throw] away his: idols of silver, & idols of gold, [that] your own hands have made [for yourselves,] for a sin.] |
Then, He shall [again] give the rain [for] your seed, [so] that you [shall] sow the ground [with it;] & [for] the bread of the [increased] [produce] of the earth, & it shall be [rich & plentiful.] [On] that day, your cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] shall feed in large pastures. [Also,] the oxen &, the young [donkeys,] that [plow] the ground, shall eat clean [fodder,] which [has] been [separated] with: the fan, & the shovel. |
And upon: every high mountain, & every high hill there, shall be rivers & streams of waters [on] the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. [Luke 13:1-5 At that [time,] there were some [there, who] told Him [about] the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had [mixed] with their sacrifices. And Jesus [answered,] & said to them, [Do] you supposed these Galileans were [worse] sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
I tell you, [No;] but, [unless] you repent, you shall all [also] perish. Or those 18, upon whom the Tower in Siloam fell, & [killed] them, [do] you think that they were [worse] sinners above all men, [who] dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, [No;] but, [unless] you repent, you shall all likewise perish.] |
[Additionally,] the light of the moon shall be [like] the light of the sun. [Revelation 21:22-24 *And I saw no Temple [in there.] For the Lord God Almighty, & the Lamb are the Temple of it. *And the city had no need of the sun, & neither of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God did [enlighten] it, & the Lamb is the Light [of it.] And [those] nations [who] are saved, shall walk in the Light of it. And the kings of the earth, [bring] their glory & [honor] into it.] |
And the light of the sun shall be [7 times as much,] as the light of 7 days, [on] the day that the Lord [binds, a.k.a. bandages,] up the [bruise] of His people, & [heals] the [blow] of their wound.] [Isaiah 53:3-5 *He is despised & rejected [by] men. A Man of sorrows, & acquainted with grief. And we hid, [like] it were our faces, from Him. He was despised, & we [didn't respect] Him. *Surely, He [has] borne our griefs, & carried our sorrows. Yet, we [didn't respect] Him, [struck,] & smitten of God, & afflicted. *But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, [a.k.a. whip marks,] we are healed.] |
[Watch,] the Name of the Lord [comes] from far, burning with His anger, & [its] burden is heavy. His lips are full of indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice,] & His tongue, [is] [like] a devouring fire. |
[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. not watered down,] into the cup of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb.] |
And His breath, [like] an overflowing stream, shall reach to the [middle] of the neck, to sift the nations with the [strainer] of vanity. [Isaiah 11:4 But He shall judge the poor with righteousness, & [repay] the meek of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod [from] His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.] |
And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err, [a.k.a. go a different way,] [than they intended.] [Isaiah 37:29 Because of your rage against Me, & your [violent commotion, has] come up into [My] ears, therefore, I will put My hook in your nose, & My bridle in your lips, & I will turn you back by the [road,] by which you [came.] |
You shall have a song, [like on] the night when a holy [solemn feast] is kept; & gladness of heart, [like] when [someone] goes into the mountain of the Lord, with a [flute] to the Mighty One of Israel. [Isaiah 2:3 *And many people shall go & say, You, come, & let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us [about] His ways, & we will walk, [a.k.a. follow,] in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, & the Word of the Lord, from Jerusalem.] |
And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, & [with] His arm, shall [sling] the lightning [bolts] down, with the indignation of His anger, & with the flame of a devouring fire, & with tempest, & with scattering, hailstones. [Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, & there was seen in His temple, the Ark of His [Covenant,] & there was [lightning,] voices, [thundering,] an earthquake, & great hail.] |
For through the [Lord's] voice, the Assyrian, [who struck] with a rod, shall be beaten down. And there shall be [tambourines,] & harps, in every place where the staff [of correction] shall pass, [that] the Lord shall lay upon him. He will fight with [the Assyrians] in battles [with much trembling.] [Jeremiah 51:20 You [are] My battle ax, & weapons of war. For I will break in pieces the nations with you, & destroy kingdoms.] |
For Tophet, [a.k.a. The Valley of Hinnom, also Topheth,] is ordained, [a.k.a. appointed,] of old. [Yes,] [its] prepared for the king. He [has] made the pile [of it,] deep, & large, & much wood, & fire. The breath of the Lord, [kindles, a.k.a. Ignites,] it, like a stream of brimstone.] |
[2 Kings 23:10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Hinnom, [so] that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:
Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning.
For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.
The Table Format:
The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.
