Good morning People of God in Christ Jesus.
We give glory to God for the gift of another brand new week, we thank God for the privilege of life and for His unending mercy and grace upon us always. Praise God!
The Book of Isaiah Chapter 34.
Isaiah 34:1-2.
[1]Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
[2]For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Here again, we see Prophet Isaiah prophesying about the judgement of God. This prophecy like the previous ones are figuratively pointing to what would happen on the last days.
Particularly, he was talking about what would happen during the period of the great tribulation.
Even Jesus Christ Himself spoke about this in Matthew 24:21-24
[21]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22]And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
[23]Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
[24]For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Apostle John in the book of Revelation also gives us a picture of these horrific happenings in Revelation 6:12-17
[12]And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
[13]And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[14]And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[15]And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
[16]And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[17]For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Now, let’s see what Prophet Isaiah says in the close of Chapter 34.
๐๐๐
[16]Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
Isaiah advises us to carefully study the Scriptures to understand these things, to learn from them and be ready.
The truth is that none of these prophecies will fail; none will lack a fulfillment. For the Lord has issued His decree. It is His Spirit that has gathered them. So, let’s pay attention to them and be ready.
Let’s keep on living in the reality of who we are in Christ Jesus and let’s be prayerful, while getting prepared as the events of the end time unfold before our very eyes.
And please remember, if you are yet to be part of the family of God that God has purchased through His Love expressed in Christ’s death and resurrection, delay no further and hop in onboard by simply receiving the gift of Salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
