"The Visions Of Isaiah"
Reference: Isaiah Chapter 1
God is like the mother eagle. He takes His child up, up, up in the sky, deep into the heavens, that He could I allow him to see things that are to come thousands of years later .
Isaiah was taken up with God way up in the heavens that he could see the crucifixion of Jesus Christ about a 800 years before it happened Isaiah brought the perspective of God to the people.
Let's read:
Isaiah 1:1-2 "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. [2] Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. "
God made a promise to Abraham in the covenant to bring his seed to the promised land.
Genesis 15:13,18 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [18] In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: "
This covenant was reinstated when God revealed himself to Moses.
Exodus 2:24-25 "And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. [25] And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them."
Yet, because they walked in the blood of fallen Adam, they had no means of walking according to the law of God. With the corrupt five physical senses of man that come through the blood of the first Adam, the natural man walks contrary to the word of God no matter how hard they try.
Romans 7:17-21 "Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. "
This problem plagues the natural man and even the believer, unless they understand to live above their five physical senses through their sixth sense of faith in their blood of the second Adam.
We continue our reading.:
Isaiah 1:3-4 "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. [4] Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward."
They were in the blood seed of fallen Adam, with their five physical senses corrupted due to the cursed blood of the first Adam. This is the condition of all men and women until they learn how to escape the blood of the first Adam.
We continue our reading:
Isaiah 1:5-9 "Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. [6] From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. [7] Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. [8] And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. [9] Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."
It was the condition of man in Sodom and Gomorrah. It was a condition of man at the time of Isaiah. It's the condition of man in our world today. Man stuck in the blood seed of fallen Adam.
We continue our reading.:
Isaiah 1:10-15 "Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. [11] To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [12] When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? [13] Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [14] Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. [15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."
The animal blood sacrifices were to bring them to the ultimate blood sacrifice of the Lamb of God, the second Adam, on the cross of Calvary. The blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin. It could only cover their sins. The people therefore lived constantly in sin until the true Lamb of God hung on the cross, with His blood shed to take away every sin and to be the escape route for every believer to exit the blood of the first Adam and to live bearing fruit unto God, through the seed of the word.
We continue our reading:
Isaiah 1:16-27 "Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; [17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. [18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. [19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: [20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. [21] How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. [22] Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: [23] Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. [24] Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: [25] And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: [26] And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. [27] Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness."
The true redemption came about 800 years later, when the Redeemer hung on a cross to redeem not just Israel but the whole world back to God. To restore the broken covenant in the Garden of Eden with a new covenant, which began in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Today, the believer is heading into a new garden, a new heaven and a new earth, to live permanently with the Father.
We conclude our reading:
Isaiah 1:28-31 "And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. [29] For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. [30] For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. [31] And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."
The choice is always clear: eternal life with God through faith in the blood of the second Adam, or eternal damnation in hell through unbelief in the blood of the first Adam.
Make your choice today. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The problem is the first blood, and the solution is the second blood in Christ!
