Isaiah 65:1-25 As Israelites Worship False gods, Another Nation Comes to the True God

As Israelites Worship False gods, Another Nation Comes to the True God

Isaiah 65:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

I am sought [by those, who didn’t ask] for Me. I am found, [by those who didn’t search for] Me. I said, [See,] Me, [see] Me, to a nation that wasn’t called by My Name. [Romans 9:23-26 And [so] that He might make known the [richness] of His glory [on] the vessels [by] mercy, [that] He  had [previously] prepared [for] glory, even us, whom He [has] called, not only the Jews, but also the Gentiles? [Like] He also [said] in [Hosea,] I will call them My people, [who] weren't My people, & [call] her beloved, [who] wasn't beloved. And it shall [happen,] that in the place where it was said to them, You aren't My people, they shall be called there, the children of the Living God.]

I have spread out My hands all day to a rebellious people, [who walk, a.k.a. follow,] in a [path] that wasn’t good, [but was according to] their own thoughts.  [Isaiah 1:21-24 How [has] the faithful city become [like a] harlot! It was full of judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] & righteousness [stayed] in it; but now murderers. Your silver [has] become [scum,] & your wine [is] mixed with water.

Your princes are rebellious, & companions of thieves. Everyone [loves] gifts, & [follows] after rewards, [a.k.a. bribes.] They [don't] judge the fatherless, & neither [does] the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, [says,] Ah, I will ease [Myself] of [My] adversaries, & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies.]

A people, [who provoke] Me to anger, to My face continually, & [sacrifice] in gardens, & [burn] incense upon altars of brick. [2 Kings 21:5-7 And he, [a.k.a. Manasseh,] built altars for all the host, [a.k.a. stars & constellations,] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord’s] house.

And he made his son pass through the fire, & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology,] & used enchantments, & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking to the dead,] & wizards. He [did] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger.

And he [put] in the grove a [carved image] that he had made, in the house, [a.k.a. temple,] of which the Lord said to David, & to Solomon, his son, I will put my Name in this house, & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, forever.]

[A people] [who:] remain among the graves, & lodge in the [graveyard] monuments, [who] eat swine’s [meat,] & [the] broth of [detestable] things is in their vessels, [a.k.a. kettles.] [Who] say, Stand by yourself, & [don’t come near me; for I am holier than you. These are smoke in My nose, that [burns] all day, [like] fire.

[Matthew 9:10-13 And it [happened,] in the house, as Jesus sat at meat, [a.k.a. dinner,] & [behold,] many publicans, [a.k.a. tax collectors,] & sinners [also] came & sat down with Him, & His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, Why [does] your Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] eat with publicans, & sinners? But when Jesus heard that, He said to them, [Those who are] whole [don’t] need a physician, but [those who] are sick. But you go, & learn what that [means,] I will have mercy, & not [sacrifices.] For I [have] not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.]

[See,] it is written before Me: I won’t keep [silent,] but will [repay,] even [repay] into their [own] [chest.] [Psalm 50:3-6 Our God shall come, & shall not keep [silent.] A fire shall devour before, [a.k.a. in front of,] Him, & it shall be very tempestuous [all around] Him. From above, He shall call to the heavens, & to the earth, [so] that He may judge His people.

Gather My saints together to Me, & those [who] have made a covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with Me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God, Himself, is Judge. Selah.]

The Lord [says,] Therefore, I will measure their [previous] work, [a.k.a. deeds,] into their [chest,] [for] your [sins,] & the [sins] of your [forefathers] together, [who] have burned incense upon the mountains, & blasphemed Me upon the hills.

[Ezekiel 18:5-9 but if a man [is] just, [a.k.a. honest,] & does what is lawful & right, & [hasn't] eaten upon the mountains, & [has] neither lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. Neither [has] [he] defiled his [neighbor's] wife, & neither [has] [he been intimate with] a woman [during her monthly cycle.] And [he] [hasn't] oppressed any, but [has] restored to the debtor his pledge, & [hasn't plundered any] by violence, & [has] given his bread to the hungry, & [has] covered the naked with a garment. He [who hasn't] given, [a.k.a. lent, with] usury, [a.k.a. loans with excessive interest,] neither [has] [he] taken any [excessive] [profit,] & [he] [has] withdrawn his hand from [sinfulness,] & [has carried out] true judgment between [2 men,] & [has] walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in My [mandates,] & [has] kept My judgments, to [act fairly.] He is just, & he shall surely live, [says] the Lord God.]

The Lord [says this, Like] the [grapes for the] new wine is found in the cluster, & [someone says, Don’t] destroy it; for it is a blessing. I will do so for My servant’s sakes, [so] that I may not [have] to destroy all [of] them. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, & out of Judah, an inheritor of My mountains. And My elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] shall inherit it, & [My] servants shall dwell there.

[Isaiah 11:9-10 In all My mountain, they shall not [harm,] nor destroy. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, [like] the waters cover the sea. *And [on] that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, [Who] shall stand for [a banner for] the people. The Gentiles shall seek it, & His [place of] rest shall be glorious.]

And for My people, [who] have sought Me, Sharon shall be a [sheep pen for] flocks, & the Valley of Achor, a place for the herds to lie down in. [Isaiah 11:6 The wolf shall also dwell with the lamb, & the leopard shall lie down with the kid [goat.] And a little Child shall lead them: the calf, the young lion, & the [fattened animal] together.]

But you are [those who abandon] the Lord, & [who] forget My holy mountain, &  prepare a table for that troop, & furnish the drink offering to that number.   [Isaiah 41:28-29 For I [saw,] & there was no man, even among them, & there was no [counselor] that could answer a word, when I asked them. [See,] they are all vanity, [a.k.a. worthless,] & their works are nothing. Their [molded] images, [a.k.a. idols,] are wind & confusion.]

Therefore, I will [count] you [to be delivered] to the sword, & you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I [spoke,] you didn’t [listen;] but [you] did evil [in front of My] eyes, & [chose, what] I [didn’t delight] [in.] [Jeremiah 7:7-11 Then, I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your [forefathers,] forever & ever.

[Look,] you [who] trust in lying words, that can’t [benefit.] Will you: steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, & burn incense to Baal, & walk, [a.k.a. follow,] after other gods, [that] you [didn’t] know, & come, & stand before Me in this house, [that] is called by My Name, & say, We are [called] to do all these abominations? In your eyes, [has] this house, which is called by My Name, become a den of robbers? [Look,] I have even seen it, [says] the Lord.]

Therefore, the Lord God [says this, Look,] My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry. [Look,] My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty. [Look,] My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed. [Look,] My servants shall sing [with] [joyful hearts,] but you shall cry [out with] [sorrowful hearts,] & shall howl [with] [troubled spirits.] [Isaiah 55:6-7 You seek the Lord while He may be found, & you, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] his [ways,] & the unrighteous man [abandon] his thoughts. And let him return to the Lord, & He will have mercy upon him, & [return] to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.]

And [for] My chosen, you shall leave your name for a curse; & for the Lord God shall slay you. [Jeremiah 29:23 Because they have committed [wickedness,] in Israel, & have committed adultery with their [neighbor's] wives, & have spoken lying words in My Name, [that] I haven't commanded them. Even, I know, & Am a witness, [says] the Lord.]

And [the Lord God shall] call His servants by another name. [Revelation 2:17 He, [who has] an ear, let him hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches. To him [who overcomes,] I will give to eat of the hidden manna, & will give him a white stone. And [on] the stone a new name written, [that] no man [knows, except] he [who receives] it.]

[So] that, he, who [blesses] himself [on] earth, shall bless himself in the God of Truth. And he, [who swears, on] the earth, shall swear by the God of Truth, because: the [previous] troubles are forgotten, & they are [hidden] from [My] eyes. [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.]

*For, [look,] I create new heavens, & a new earth, & the [previous] shall not be remembered, nor come [to] mind. But you be glad & rejoice forever in [what] I create. For, [look,] I create Jerusalem, for rejoicing & a joy [for] her people. [Revelation 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. For the first heaven & the first earth [had] passed away; & there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them & they shall be His people, & God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God.]

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, & [have] joy in My people. And the [sound] of weeping shall no [longer] be heard in her, nor the voice of crying. [Revelation 7:15-18 Therefore, they are before the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who sits] on the throne shall dwell among them. *They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither thirst any more. Neither shall the [sunlight,] 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.]

There shall be no more [infants] [who only live for a few number] of days, nor an old man, [who] hasn’t [fulfilled] his days. For the child shall die [at] 100 years old.

But the sinner being 100 years old, shall be [cursed.] [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands, & they have committed adultery with their idols, & also have [made] their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them for [their idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They  defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day, & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day, into My sanctuary to [desecrate] it. And [look] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]

And they shall build houses, & [live in] them. And they shall plant vineyards, & eat the fruit of them. They shall not build [houses,] & another [lives in them.] They shall not plant, & another [eats] [it.] For [like] the days of a tree, are the days of My people, & My elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] shall enjoy the work of their hands [a] long [time.] [Isaiah 62:8-9 The Lord [has] sworn by His right hand, & by the arm of His strength, Surely, I will no [longer] give your corn to be [food] for your enemies. And the sons of the strangers, [a.k.a. foreigners,] shall not drink your wine, for which you have [labored.] But [those, who] have gathered it, shall eat it, & praise the Lord. And [those, who] have brought it, [a.k.a. grapes to make wine,] together, shall drink it in the [courtyards] of My Holiness.]

They shall not [labor] in vain, nor [produce] [what causes] trouble. For they are the seed, [a.k.a. descendants] of the [Lord's] blessed, & their offspring with them. [Isaiah 61:9 And their seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] shall be known among the Gentiles, & their offspring among the people. All, [who] see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed [that] the Lord [has] blessed.]

And it shall [happen,] that I will answer,before they call. And while they are [still] speaking, I will hear. The wolf & the lamb shall [graze] together, & the lion shall eat straw like the [young bull.] And dust shall be the [snake’s food.] They shall not [harm,] nor destroy in all My holy mountain, [says] the Lord.
