Jerusalem The Burdensome Stone Isaiah 7:3-9 More Troubles From Within

Jerusalem The Burdensome Stone

Isaiah 7:3-9

More Troubles From Within 

Psa 119:169-176 KJV  TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.  (170)  Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.  (171)  My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.  (172)  My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.  (173)  Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.  (174)  I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.  (175)  Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.  (176)  I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

Ecc 1:9-11 KJV  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.  (10)  Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.  (11)  There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

Ecc 3:14-15 KJV  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.  (15)  That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ecc 3:16 KJV  And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

Mat 24:1-2 KJV  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.  (2)  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Signs of the End of the Age

Mat 24:3-10 KJV  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  (4)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  (5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (6)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  (7)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  (8)  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  (9)  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  (10)  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Mat 24:29-31 KJV  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  (30)  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  (31)  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Mar 13:7-8 KJV  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.  (8)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

The Sign of Jonah

Mat 12:38-42 KJV  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.  (39)  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:  (40)  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.  (41)  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.  (42)  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Hello again friends. We are currently working in Isaiah 7 with our journeys exploring Jerusalem the burdensome stone. The last journey we explored the subject of standing before the enemy. We will pick back up in verse 3 as we start to explore a little further in depth the parallels between Israel then and the world and America now. 

The journey we will be undertaking here will relate more to the darker side to the passages some might say. It just depends on how you view prophecy. 

Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz

Isa 7:1-9 KJV  And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.  (2)  And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.  (3)  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;  (4)  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.  (5)  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,  (6)  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:  (7)  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.  (8)  For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.  (9)  And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

In our last journey together we stirred off slightly to a subject concerning standing before the enemy. We explored how Isaiah was to go before the king with a message directly from ABBA Father. We looked at a few instances where ABBA Father called His prophets to go before the leaders of the known world all through history. If you have not been there yet we looked at Abraham, Joseph going before Pharaoh, Daniel before Nebuchadnezzar and of course Lord Yeshua/Jesus standing before Pilate and the Jewish Sanhedrin and so forth. 

We explored some parallels to those wonderful parents who are standing before their school boards, city councils or whatever. Whether these parents realize it or not they are doing ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/Jesus’  intentions. Taking stands against racism, sexual assault cover ups when they are only being employed for Satan’s agenda. With this journey we will yet discover more parallels so let’s get started. Oh yeah one more thing we at the ministry highly encourage our readers who have not seen the chapter 3 breakdown from a few weeks back to do so and see what is happening to America in prophecy. 

Isa 7:1-3 KJV  And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.  (2)  And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.  (3)  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

We looked at the word study of Shearjashub. How its meaning says to us a remnant will return. We discovered a lot of history and prophecy within the name itself. 

H7610

שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב

she'âr yâshûb

sheh-awr' yaw-shoob'

From H7605 and H7725; a remnant will return; Shear-Jashub, the symbolical name of one of Isaiah’s sons: - Shear-jashub.

Total KJV occurrences: 1

We also explored briefly how the threat was being built up from within because of Ephraim. Ephraim was collaborating with Syria. However ABBA Father was not ready for the enemies of Jerusalem to prevail. This is how we hope ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/Jesus are looking down on America also. We are definitely starting to see signs of trouble around our nation where the Taliban gave us their flight manifests for America. Friends we have said this a lot over the years. That prophecy can be painful some times. It all is for the ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/ Jesus’ glory. This painful business revolves around the world and America doing the same things that Israel did in the past. Again things having been and things which shall be. What this boils down to friends is that we now for sure have a new kind of collaboration coming from terrorists within our great nation. Not that we did not have cells already here. We are dealing with a different set of folks altogether. 

There are very courageous men to include the gentleman who killed Bin Ladin warning us of terrible things some of us have known about for years some have not. For example a bomb in one of our schools. Things we know they have done over the years. Because we have inner peoples now who will no doubt carry out the most horrific things they can think of. This is something our so called president managed to do. Just 1 thing he united all terrorists to one standard known as Afghanistan. He is also going to be responsible for these acts committed against us. Because he let the Taliban control our passenger manifests on our military aircraft. There have already been instances of rape (yes that’s plural), child sexual assaults and so forth.  

Friends there are 3 chapters of Jesus’ words in 3 different gospels each adding their own special touch you could say. From those 3 chapters we get the following.

Mat_24:19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Mar_13:17  But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Luk_21:23  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

These warnings can range from nuclear warfare to our vaccine situation here in America or around the world. We recently did a study called are we getting it yet? It revolved around Revelation 13. Don’t buy or sell that type of thing. Jesus’ warnings above are for mother as well as child. He intends for them to be taken seriously folks. A lot of things terrible leaders are trying to coax us into doing to ourselves while not protecting us appropriately (for lack of better words). Again we are going to mention this. 

When it comes to murdering a child of ABBA Father  it seems someone screams that’s a choice. When it comes to injecting stuff many consider poison into themselves it seems there isn’t. Just remember everyone one that this world is demanding take a shot right now was not aborted. WOW! What a thought. It seems as though our governments want us to be aborted in our older lives for a change. That is any one who does not agree with their political aspirations. Sorry we got so far off topic here friends this stuff flows sometimes as ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/ Jesus send it in. Thanks be to them and the word. Amen!

Isa 7:3-4 KJV  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;  (4)  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

The next subject we would like to develop is the fuller’s field. 

Isa 7:3 KJV  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller'sH3526field;

We can determine this much that the meeting was taking place at a water source for the city of Jerusalem. Some may say a reservoir. The fuller’s field was known as a place for washing. We will do a word study and look at Albert Barnes’ notes on the Bible briefly. 

H3526

כָּבַס

kâbas

kaw-bas'

A primitive root; to trample; hence to wash (properly by stamping with the feet), whether literally (including the fulling process) or figuratively: - fuller, wash (-ing).

Total KJV occurrences: 51

In the highway of the fuller’s field - In the place occupied as a situation on which to spread, or suspend cloth that was bleached, or dyed. This situation would be chosen because much water was needed in bleaching or dyeing cloth. The name ‘highway’ denotes the public path, or road that led to this field. Probably, on one side of this highway was the aqueduct, and on the other the fuller’s field. Of the fuller’s field, Eusebius and Jerome merely say that it was shown in their day in the suburbs of the city. - “Onom.” art. “Ager Fullonis.”

Isa 7:4-9 KJV  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.  (5)  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,  (6)  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:  (7)  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.  (8)  For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.  (9)  And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

Here in this passage verses 8 and 9 correspond to the descriptions of the enemies in verse 4. This entire passage comes as a culmination of the events we see in 2nd Kings 15. 

Pekah Reigns in Israel

2Ki 15:27-31 KJV  In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.  (28)  And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.  (29)  In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.  (30)  And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.  (31)  And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Jotham Reigns in Judah

2Ki 15:32-38 KJV  In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.  (33)  Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.  (34)  And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.  (35)  Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.  (36)  Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?  (37)  In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.  (38)  And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

We would like to state that this is America in prophetic pattern. Friends we all like to say we are Christians. Those who call themselves believers. However it seems on the grand stage it always comes down to being ecumenical some times. Friends our belief in ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/Jesus should stand out to the world just as our belief in our great nation. Actually so much more with Lord Yeshua/Jesus. Amen!

This would be a map of the Judah and Israelite territory during the time frame we are exploring today. Again as we stated earlier we are grateful that ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/Jesus have not decided as of yet to give us completely over to the enemies of our ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua/Jesus. 

The following map tells us a little more detail about the spiritual and natural warfare taking place here. Friends we are making the exact same mistakes then as now. Like we mentioned above many of us perhaps 10’s of millions here in America do not mind professing our Lord and Savior Yeshua/Jesus as supreme in this universe that He helped create. We are not necessarily to wipe out false religions as in the OT. We are to wage the war by winning souls either of or in many cases back from false religions. 

It seems like most of the time now if we preach against false religions such as Islam we are now called Islam phobic. Islam, as we have stated over the years and will continue to til the rapture or my sleep which ever comes first, denies the divinity of our Lord and Savior Yeshua/Jesus.  Amen! Thank You Lord Yeshua/Jesus. 

As we have stated over the years and will continue to until my slumber or the rapture which ever come first our Lord and Savior Yeshua/Jesus is the only begotten Son of ABBA Father. He helped create the entire world and most importantly for you and I our very existence. 

For God So Loved the World

Joh 3:16-21 KJV  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (17)  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  (18)  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  (19)  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  (20)  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  (21)  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Prophecy and Parables

Mat 13:34-35 KJV  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:  (35)  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Mat 25:31-36 KJV  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  (32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  (33)  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  (34)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  (35)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:  (36)  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Gen 1:26-31 KJV  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (27)  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  (28)  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  (29)  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  (30)  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.  (31)  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Joh 17:24-26 KJV  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.  (25)  O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.  (26)  And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Eph 1:3-12 KJV  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  (4)  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  (5)  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,  (6)  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.  (7)  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;  (8)  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  (9)  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  (10)  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  (11)  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  (12)  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

Heb 9:11-17 KJV  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;  (12)  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.  (13)  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:  (14)  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  (15)  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.  (16)  For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.  (17)  For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Heb 9:18-28 KJV  Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.  (19)  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,  (20)  Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.  (21)  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.  (22)  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.  (23)  It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  (24)  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:  (25)  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;  (26)  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  (27)  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  (28)  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Called to Be Holy

1Pe 1:13-21 KJV  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;  (14)  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  (15)  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  (16)  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.  (17)  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:  (18)  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  (19)  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  (20)  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,  (21)  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Rev 13:8-10 KJV  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  (9)  If any man have an ear, let him hear.  (10)  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Why is all this important to the first half of Isaiah 7? Well the patterns and parallels we are exploring here again. What this is leading up to friends as Lord Yeshua/Jesus tells us

Signs of the End of the Age

Mat 24:3-8 KJV  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  (4)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  (5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  (6)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  (7)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  (8)  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Lord Yeshua/Jesus tells us that we will be experiencing some things taking place not too far from His glorious return. We have explored all these in some form or fashion too many times to mention between this part of the ministry and the other things we do. We are at pestilences friends. This means something like covid, influenza, polio and we’ll say cancer for now. 

Another thing that Lord Yeshua warns us of are famines. Here in America we have a transportation secretary who is calling our roads and bridges racists. He should be getting on the business of getting our goods too our people. There are 2 million new people running around in our streets at night and not enough food and goods for hard working Americans of all races and nationalities. 

Paul Addresses the Areopagus

Act 17:22-27 KJV  Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.  (23)  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.  (24)  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;  (25)  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;  (26)  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;  (27)  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Act 17:28-34 KJV  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.  (29)  Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.  (30)  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:  (31)  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.  (32)  And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.  (33)  So Paul departed from among them.  (34)  Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

Rom 5:12-21 KJV  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  (13)  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  (14)  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.  (15)  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.  (16)  And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.  (17)  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)  (18)  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  (19)  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.  (20)  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:  (21)  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Isa 7:5-7 KJV  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,  (6)  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:  (7)  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

Friends this should be our prayer for America. We would highly encourage the rest of the world to pray about it also. We have been exploring those patterns and parallels for a while in all this. We are at the ethnicity verses ethnicity phase among others right now. We are at the pestilence phase right now. Friends if our transportation secretary’s main priority are racist roads and bridges instead of our shopping shelves then we are heading for a famine. 

When our main priorities for these people running this stuff are what sexual genders they are then we are heading for a famine. In this case however a famine on the word. One such as Amos describes to us. 

The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning

Amo 8:1-6 KJV  Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.  (2)  And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.  (3)  And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.  (4)  Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,  (5)  Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?  (6)  That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

Amo 8:7-14 KJV  The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.  (8)  Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.  (9)  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:  (10)  And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.  (11)  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  (12)  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.  (13)  In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.  (14)  They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Friends as we bring this journey to a conclusion. We want to send the message out that Christians of all denominations or no denominations like us here who believe in scripture need to start banding together. The Islamic terrorists that will be coming for our children, ourselves, our leaders and way of life are probably within our shores now. We need Lord Yeshua/Jesus and ABBA Father desperately now more than ever. 

We need to be praying for His soon return. All the patterns and parallels are there for America that were there for Israel. They culminate with things like the glorification of Lord Yeshua and His salvation. This particular chapter Isaiah 7 now starts to take on a new subject. That being the sign for Immanuel. 

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luk 21:25-28 KJV  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  (26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  (27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  (28)  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Eph 1:3-6 KJV  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:  (4)  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  (5)  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,  (6)  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Eph 1:7-14 KJV  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;  (8)  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  (9)  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  (10)  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  (11)  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  (12)  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  (13)  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,  (14)  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

As always thanks for sharing a word

God Bless
