Salvation for those who trust in God. Isaiah 33 and verse 1 reads.
Isa.33:1] Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
To those that spoil Judah and Jerusalem, Satan and his squad in the end times, shall be spoiled themselves when the seventh trump sounds and Jesus returns.
Isa.33:2] O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Jesus is our Salvation in these end times. Written here as “Time of trouble” referring to the days of Jacob’s trouble. Waited here is specifically for us waiting for the seventh trump, and not worshipping the first Jesus, the antichrist. Let’s go to Rev.11 and verse 14 reads.
Rev.11:14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
[15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 3 reads.
Isa.33:3] At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
The “Thyself” is the LORD. Remember Isa.10 and verse 33 reads.
Isa.10:33] Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
This prophecy without a doubt will happen at the coming of the LORD, at the seventh trump. Back to Isa.33 and verse 4 reads.
Isa.33:4] And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
Bringing the Locust army into the conversation. Let’s go to Joel 1 and verse 3 reads.
Joel 1:3] Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
[4] That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
The Locust armies are the spoilers. These are the children of Ishmael in these end times. Look around, they are spoiling the children of God as we speak. Notice that the caterpillars are for the end. Back to Isa.33 and verse 5 reads.
Isa.33:5] The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
The LORD will make everything right again. Let’s go to Psalms 97 and verse 8 reads.
Psa.97:8] Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
[9] For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
[10] Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
He shall deliver us from them, stay strong in the LORD and he will protect you. Back to Isa.33 and verse 6 reads.
Isa.33:6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Wisdom and knowledge will be our stability in these end times. First understand that “Fear” of the LORD is reverence or love. Let’s go to Proverbs 1 and never forget verse 7 and it reads.
Prov.1:7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
And to finish verse 6 of Isaiah it read and strength of Salvation, which is Jesus Christ, but let’s look at this treasure. Jesus would teach us in Matthew 6 and verse 19 reads.
Mat.6:19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 7 reads.
Isa.33:7] Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
Notice it’s talking about their valiant ones. They cannot stand against the LORD for his wrath is mighty.
Isa.33:8] The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
Speaking of the king of Assyria, which is Satan in these end times.
Isa.33:9] The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Lebanon H3844 and means; white or whiteness. Can be a mountain when pertaining to snowcapped. But here it is said for God’s children. Backing up to the last verse when he mentioned breaking the covenant. Sharon is H8289 and means; a plain. But here has become a wilderness. Bashan and Carmel both mean fruitful, but we see here they have no fruit. Watchmen think of these end times when you read prophecies.
Isa.33:10] Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
Isaiah told us how it would be at his coming in chapter 2 and verse 19 reads.
Isa.2:19] And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
And in Eze.38 verse 19 reads.
Eze.38:19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Back to Isa.33 and verse 11 reads.
Isa.33:11] Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
At the seventh trump God’s wrath shall be poured out on the world. But his children need not fear, but to rejoice for our LORD has returned. The word conceive brings to mind James 1 and verse 14 reads.
James 1:14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
[15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
In the end times many will not repent, but burn as chaff. We on the other hand have the power of Salvation through repentance. Back to Isa.33 and verse 12 reads.
Isa.33:12] And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
I want you to memorize Hebrews 12:29 and it reads.
Heb.12:29] For our God is a consuming fire.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 13 reads.
Isa.33:13] Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
They will surely know that He is God. Let’s go to Psa.48 and verse 9 reads.
Psa.48:9] We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
[10] According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 14 reads.
Isa.33:14] The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
[15] He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Let’s go to Psalms and read all of Psa.26 and it reads.
Psa.26:1] Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
[2] Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
[3] For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
[4] I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
[5] I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
[6] I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
[7] That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
[8] LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
[9] Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
[10] In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
[11] But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
[12] My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
In his fury his wrath will be upon those who are not righteous, and those who refuse to repent. But to those of us who repent and love the LORD will be his children and he will be our God. Back to Isa.33 and verse 16 reads.
Isa.33:16] He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Christ dwells within us, he is our Rock. He is our Daily Bread and he is our Living Water.
Isa.33:17] Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Now let’s go back to Psalms, Psa.27 and verse 2 reads.
Psa.27:2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
[3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
[4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
[5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
What a glorious day that will be. Back to Isa.33 and verse 18 reads.
Isa.33:18] Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Who? Let’s go to 1Cor.1 and verse 18 reads.
1Cor.1:18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
[19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
[20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
[21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
[22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
[23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Never forget that last verse, many will not understand. Teach Christ crucified. Salvation depends on it.
1Cor.1:24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Notice many other than those who are Christian are called.
1Cor.1:25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 19 reads.
Isa.33:19] Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
The false teachers and the evil (Kenites) will not be around after the millennium.
Isa.33:20] Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
The city of our solemnities is Passover. Christ became our Passover. 1Cor.5:6-8. Let’s go to Psa.48 and verse 11 reads.
Psa.48:11] Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
[13] Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
[14] For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Back to Isa.33 and verse 21 reads.
Isa.33:21] But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
No war machines, plenty of Living Water. We have begun a new dispensation, the last dispensation. Forever with the LORD.
Isa.33:22] For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
The LORD is our Father, he is our everything. Let’s go to Psa.89 and verse 18 reads.
Psa.89:18] For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
Now let’s go to James 4 and verse 11 reads.
James 4:11] Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
[12] There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Back to Isa.33 and verse 23 reads.
Isa.33:23] Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Speaking to those who are deceived, they will not have a chance, lest they repent. Remember many will not repent in these end times because they are Kenites, they are the serpent’s seed.
Isa.33:24] And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Let’s go to Micah 7 and verse 17 reads.
Mic.7:17] They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.
[18] Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
[19] He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Now let’s go to Rev.2, speaking to the church of Thyatira. This church fell because they believed and taught the rapture doctrine. And verse 18 reads.
Rev.2:18] And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
[19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
They did a lot of good works and had much faith. But something is wrong.
Rev.2:20] Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
This Jezebel is the rapture doctrine.
Rev.2:21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
[22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Because they worshipped the first Christ thinking he was Christ, but was not and is the antichrist.
Rev.2:23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
They become spiritually dead, and will need the millennium to be saved. Great chapter let’s go to his throne.
Father, we thank you for your word and ask that you bless all that love you in Jesus’s precious name, Amen.
