A wonderful book answering the question about the origin of life. This subject of the origin of life has been debated over decades between the atheists and the theists. The atheist preaches man evolved from animals and the ultimate animal being the ape. The theist preaches that man originated from a creator.<br>This debate about the origin of life is ongoing.<br><br>Today, with the revelation of blood, I want to contribute to the debate by saying this: life does not have an origin. To ask the question, "What is the origin of life?" means you do not know what life is. Life has always been. The right question to ask is not what is the origin of life, but what is the origin of death.<br>Life doesn't have an origin. It's death that has an origin. Life is God, and God is life, and life has always been, and life will always be. Life is infinite, and life is eternal. That's who God is. It is death that began in the Garden of Eden when blood fell. God told the first blood, "The day that you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall surely die." The day that the first Adam or first blood did not believe the word of God, and ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, death originated.<br><br>God is life. He has no beginning. He has no end.<br><br>Isaiah writes,<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 46:1-4 "Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. [2] They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. [3] Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: [4] And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."<br><br>Man was originally an extension of God. Man was all life, and life is eternal until man stepped away from life by going the way of death. The word of God is life, and it's life eternal. Heaven and earth shall pass away. But his word, shall never pass away. Death is simply stepping away from the word of God, not believing the word of God, or going contrary to the word of God. That's what the first Adam did. The first Adam originated death, and because everybody was a seed inside the original seed of the first Adam, when he caught the disease of death, everyone dies like him.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 46:5 "To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?"<br><br>God is life. He has no beginning, He has no end. He has no comparison. He lives outside of time. He always is and shall always be. He is the I Am It is death that has a beginning, and death also has an end. For the believer, death ended the day that you exited out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of Christ. The unbeliever remains in death by their &nbsp;choice.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 46:6-10 "They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: They fall down, yea, they worship. [7] They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. [8] Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. [9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, [10] Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"<br><br>Life declares the end from the beginning. There is none like Him.<br><br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 46:11-13 "Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. [12] Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: [13] I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."<br><br>Life called Cyrus about 150 years before he was born. Life knew his beginning from his end. If Jesus Christ was ordained before the foundation of the world, then where did Life originate? Life has no beginning, and Has no end. It is death that has a beginning and an end. The end of death is faith, for unbelief is the beginning of death, and faith is the beginning of resurrection.<br><br>Step out of death into life. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the blood of God, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Unbelief is the beginning of death, and faith is the beginning of eternal life, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Before he was blood in his mother's womb, God has called him. &nbsp;Because Cyrus, like every man or woman, was a seed in the first Adam, even before the fall of Adam.<br><br>He knew you and called you in Christ when you were in Adam before he fell. The cross of Christ was not God's emergency plan, but His eternal plan. Jesus Christ and you were crucified before the foundation of the world.<br><br>1 Peter 1:19-20 "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,"<br><br>That means we died and resurrected with Him before the foundation of the world. He manifested it many thousands of years later on the cross. We accepted it when it was revealed to us. Cyrus accepted his call when it was revealed to him.<br><br><br>Isaiah writes.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 45:1 "Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;"<br><br>God anointed Cyrus before Cyrus was in his mother's womb. If God anointed Cyrus before he was blood in his mother's womb, then where was Cyrus before he was blood in his mother's womb? Cyrus was a light, a spiritual light in the blood seed, in the loins of Adam, even before the fall. And so were you.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:2-4 "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: [3] And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. [4] For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me."<br><br>Cyrus did not know God, but God knew him before he was formed in his mother's womb. You did not know God, but God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:5-7 "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: [6] That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. [7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."<br><br>If He didn't make darkness, we wouldn't know what light looks like. He creates peace, and He also creates adversity or calamity against His unbelieving enemies.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:8-9 "Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. [9] Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?"<br><br>The unbeliever is simply striving with his Maker. There is only one word to him or her, and that word is "woe." For they remain in the blood of fallen Adam, and the end is damnation. Woe!<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:10-15 "Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? [11] Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. [12] I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. [13] I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: He shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. [14] Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. [15] Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour."<br><br>- He hid Himself when He closed the ark of Noah,<br>-He hid Himself in a burning bush.<br>- He hid Himself as a pillar of fire by night and cloud by day.<br>- He hid Himself as the Rock that followed the children of Israel in the wilderness.<br>- He hid Himself as the man Christ Jesus.<br>- He hid Himself in the disciples, and now He hides Himself in those who are one with Him. Those who have received Him by coming out of the blood of the first Adam and now in the blood of Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:16-22 "They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. [17] But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. [18] For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. [19] I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. [20] Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. [21] Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. [22] Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else."<br><br>Salvation came by them looking unto Him then. Today, salvation comes by us looking unto Him and His finished work on the cross of Christ, which was foreordained before the foundation of the world.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 45:23-25 "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. [24] Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. [25] In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory."<br><br>Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that salvation only comes through Jesus Christ, the slain Lamb of God.<br><br>Exit the blood of Adam by dying with Christ and resurrecting with Him by your simple faith. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb, in Christ!<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Israel was a seed out of Abraham. When the seed is blessed, the offspring is blessed. When the seed is cursed, the offspring is cursed.<br><br>God promises Israel, the seed of Abraham.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 44:1-4 "Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: [2] Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. [3] For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: [4] And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses."<br><br>In the blood seed of the second Adam, the believer springs up as among the grass. In the blood seed of the first Adam, the unbeliever withers away.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 44:5-7 "One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. [6] Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. [7] And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them."<br><br>The Word of God in every seed is what brings up the offspring. The Word of God is what established the universe from the very beginning and holds the universe intact even to this day.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 44:8 "Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any."<br><br>Those who have exited the blood seed of the first Adam and entered into the blood seed of the second Adam are witnesses of God. Israel was to be the witness of God. God has always had a witness. A witness of God is an individual who God gives his word to present to his world. The word of God came to Israel. He came to them first as a written word and then as a living word, a person in the name of Jesus Christ. &nbsp;Today, the word of God has come to the Gentiles as a written word and in the person of the Holy Spirit.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 44:9-20 "They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. [10] Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? [11] Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. [12] The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. [13] The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. [14] He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it. [15] Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. [16] He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: [17] And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. [18] They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. [19] And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? [20] He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?"<br><br>The unbeliever, the man or woman who remains in the blood of the first Adam, is blinded by sin and will worship anything, even a tree. God can only be seen and worshipped in the Spirit. They that worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. We can only enter into the Spirit by turning on our light of faith.<br><br>We continue reading.<br><br>Isaiah 44:21-22 "Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. [22] I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."<br><br>There is only one way for sins to be blotted out, and that is to be redeemed from the blood of the first Adam and be placed in the blood of the second Adam. Israel was given this promise. That promise is fulfilled in every man or woman who, by faith, has exited the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 44:23-28 "Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. [24] Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; [25] That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; [26] That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: [27] That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: [28] That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."<br><br>The Lord has redeemed you that He may glorify Himself in you as His witness to the world.<br><br>Line up yourself with the Lord as a witness to the world. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. He called you when you were a seed in the first Adam, even before the fall, in Christ<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The Word of God said, "Your first father has sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me. You have profaned my princes and sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse." <br>This curse is the curse of the first Adam in the garden. This is the curse which is upon every man or woman that remains in the blood of the first Adam.<br>When the first seed catches a disease, every subsequent seed out of the first seed is going to carry that disease. When Adam, the first Adam, was cursed with the disease of death, every seed in him also caught the disease of death. Every man or woman on earth today is a seed of the first Adam. That is why every man or woman on earth today dies. One out of one dies, 100% because of the first seed.</div><div><br>That is why God has sent the second seed, the seed not of man but of the woman.<br><br>Luke 1:34-35 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."<br><br>Meaning, He doesn't come out of the blood seed of the first Adam but by the new blood seed directly from God. Every seed bears its kind. God's blood seed bore the Son of God. Adam's blood seed bore the sons of Adam.<br><br>A very rich chapter from God to His people through the prophet Isaiah.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 43:1 "But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine."<br><br>When God formed Adam, He placed in Adam every man and woman on earth as a blood seeds . Just as when God created an orange, He placed in that orange every orange on earth as a seed. All men and women were blood seeds in the first Adam before his fall.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:2-3 "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. [3] For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee."<br><br>God entered into a covenant with Abraham, and though Abraham is dead, the covenant is kept by God. Israel was saved on credit, meaning their faith in the blood of lambs, which was pointing to the blood of the second Adam, was their means of salvation until the second Adam will become a man on earth to go to the cross, to redeem the whole world.<br><br>Today, God is with the man or woman who by faith has come out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. When this individual walks through the fire, it shall not burn them, and through the rivers they shall not be overflowed, for God is holding them with His righteous right hand.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:4-5 "Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. [5] Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west."<br><br>To understand God is to understand seeds. The promise was made to Abraham and his seed, which is Isaac, Jacob, and Israel. The curse was on Adam, the first Adam, and his seed. The blessing is in the second Adam and His seed. To study seed is to study God. To study blood seed is to get the revelation of man.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:6-7 "I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; [7] Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him."<br><br>God made man in His image, in His glory, in the first Adam. Everybody on earth today was in this first Adam as the image and glory of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:8-10 "Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. [9] Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. [10] Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me."<br><br>God stands alone. Before Him there was no one, and besides Him there is none. All things in heaven and earth come out of Him; out of His word.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:11 " I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."<br><br>He is God the Creator and God the Savior. There is no other Savior but God in the person of Jesus Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:12-16 "I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. [13] Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? [14] Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. [15] I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. [16] Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;"<br><br>He created the nation of Israel out of the seed of Abraham. He made a way for them at the Red Sea by His word given to Moses.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:17-20 "Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. [18] Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. [20] The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen."<br><br>He Gave waters in the wilderness when He followed them as a Rock. Enough water to quench the thirst of millions of Israelites; the seed of Abraham.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 43:21-24 "This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. [22] But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. [23] Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. [24] Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities."<br><br>&nbsp;The animal blood sacrifice was God's temporary means of covering their sins until the true Lamb of God, Who will go to the cross of Calvary to take away the sins of man, becomes the new bloodline for the whole world, to exit the blood of the first Adam. To give the whole world an opportunity to die out or the blood of the first Adam and resurrect in the blood of the second Adam.<br>Israel’s refusal to bring the blood sacrifice, placed them outside the protection of God. Their sins could not be covered. Today, any man or woman's refusal to place their faith in the blood of the second Adam places them outside the covering of God. They live and die in their sins.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 43:25-28 "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. [26] Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. [27] Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. [28] Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches."<br><br>God blotted out the sins of the seed of Abraham for His sake. All they had to do was bring the animal blood sacrifice. Their teachers have misled them to transgress against the simple requirement of God. Today, many teachers have transgressed their congregations with their faith in many other things by the blood of the second Adam. They love God and worship God yet remain in the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Let Him hold you with His righteous right hand, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The second Adam is the new covenant. When the first Adam broke the old covenant, he put the whole world in darkness under the dominion of Satan. The second Adam is the Light to the world. He draws men and women out from the dominion of Satan.<br><br>Isaiah writes.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 42:1 "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles."<br><br>Jesus Christ, the second Adam, is God in Spirit and man in flesh. The fullness of the Spirit of God was in Him.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:2-5 "He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. [3] A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. [5] Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"<br><br>He gives breath unto the people. It's the breath of life, the life which is in the blood. He also gives spirit to the people. This is the spiritual light. This is the image of God in man or woman.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles."<br><br>He is the new covenant. He is a replacement of the old covenant that was broken in the first Adam. The new covenant is the Light, not just to the Gentiles but to the whole world. We enter into this new covenant by placing our faith in the blood of the second Adam, the blood that was shed for the whole world on Calvary's cross.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:7 "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."<br><br>The world is imprisoned in the blood of the first Adam, blinded by Satan, captives &nbsp;of sin. The work of the cross allows man to die out of the blood of the first Adam. This is how blinded eyes are opened. This is how man escapes the prison of the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br><br>Isaiah 42:8-10 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. [10] Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."<br><br>Because of the new covenant, we can now sing unto the Lord a new song, a song of praise, a song of thanksgiving. We have been saved out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. We have been saved from the broken old covenant into the blessed new covenant.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:11-16 "Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. [12] Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. [13] The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. [14] I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. [15] I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. [16] And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."<br><br>Salvation brings the blind to a way that he or she knew not. Salvation makes darkness light. Salvation straightens out crooked paths. Salvation is of the Lord and is found in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:17-20 "They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. [18] Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. [19] Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant? [20] Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not."<br><br>Israel in blindness stood next to the Messiah, the second Adam, the Giver of the new covenant, but Israel could not see. He spoke to them, but they could not hear. We can only hear Him and see Him through our spiritual light of faith.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:21-24 "The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. [22] But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? [24] Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law."<br><br>Israel would not walk in His way. His way is the way of the new covenant, the way of the second Adam, the way of the new blood, the way of Jesus Christ.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 42:25 "Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart."<br><br>This burning fire is not just around Israel, but any man or woman who remains yet in the blood of the first Adam. The only way out is to turn on our light, our spiritual light of faith, and place it in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. The light to the world, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

If I take all the new apple seeds of the tree and plant them, soon I'll have a whole farm of apples. If I continue to take all the seeds of the farm and plant them, soon I'll have a whole town of apples. &nbsp;If I continue sowing all the seeds in the town of Apples, we'll have a whole nation of Apples. If I continue sowing all the seeds of the nation of Apples, we'll have a whole world of Apples. That means every apple that grew from the very first seed was already in that first seed from the beginning. That very first seed is who the first Adam is, and everybody on earth was called in Adam from the very beginning.<br><br>Isaiah writes.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 41:1-3 "Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. [2] Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? He gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. [3] He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that He had not gone with his feet."<br><br>God knew Abraham before he was formed in his mother's womb and called a righteous man from the east to be his servant even before Abraham was born, he had been called.<br><br>Before Jacob and Esau were born, God said, "Jacob have I loved."<br><br>Romans 9:10-13 "And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; [11] (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) [12] It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. [13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."<br><br>God called Jacob even before he was conceived in his mother's womb. Jacob was called in the seed of Adam before the fall of Adam. Every man or woman was called in the seed of Adam before the fall of Adam.<br><br><br>We continue our reading.<br>&nbsp;<br><br>Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am He."<br><br>He called the generations from the beginning as seeds in Adam before the fall of Adam. That means if you are a male, you were a male in the loins of Adam, and if you are a female, you were a female in the loins of Adam. Your gender was not determined in your mother's womb by the selection or coming together of chromosomes. God knew you and called you before you were in the womb of your mother, before the fall of Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:5-7 "The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. [6] They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. [7] So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved."<br><br>Without the knowledge of God, Who is a first and the last, men and women turn to the work of their hands. They make idols and worship them.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:8 "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend."<br><br>God knew Jacob before he was in his mother's womb. God knew Jacob when he was a seed in the loins of his grandfather, Abraham. God knew Jacob when he was a seed in the loins of his great-grandfather, Adam, even before the fall.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:9-11 "Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. [10] Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. [11] Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish."<br><br>He knew you when you were in the loins of the first Adam before the fall. He called you, and He will uphold you with His righteous hand if you will trust Him.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:12-15 "Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. [13] For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. [14] Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. [15] Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff."<br><br>That sharp threshing instrument having teeth is the Word of God. The Word of God will defeat every mountain, every situation, every obstacle, every devil, anywhere, at any time.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:16-19 "Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. [17] When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. [18] I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. [19] I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together."<br><br>He, the Lord, hears them. He, the Lord, forsakes them. He, the Lord, opens rivers in high places. He, the Lord, makes the wilderness a pool of water and dry land springs of water. He, the Lord, plants in the wilderness the cedar, myrtle, and oil tree. He, the Lord, sets in the desert the pine tree and box tree together. It is all of the Lord and not of man.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:20-23 "That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. [21] Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. [22] Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. [23] Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together."<br><br>Without the knowledge of God, the first and the last, the beginning and the end, man has no knowledge of the past, the present, or the future.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 41:24-29 "Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. [25] I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. [26] Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. [27] The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. [28] For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word. [29] Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion."<br><br>There is no other counsellor. There is no man that has an answer for God. Man without God is molten images and confusion at best.<br><br>He called you in the loins of Adam before the fall, and &nbsp;will keep you with His righteous right hand. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. He has called the generations from the beginning, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[3] The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."<br><br>John the Baptist was commissioned to prepare the way of the Lord before His first coming. Today, the Word of God in those led by the Holy Spirit, is preparing the way of the Lord before His second coming.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br><br>Isaiah 40:4-5 "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: [5] And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."<br><br>This word of God, this revelation of the Blood, will go to all four corners of the earth to bring every mountain low and straighten out every crooked path and make plain their rough places. The glory of God shall be revealed. All flesh shall see it. The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 40:6-11 "The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: [7] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. [8] The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. [9] O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! [10] Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [11] He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."<br><br>He is coming for His bride, those who have come out of the blood of the first Adam into His blood.<br><br>We continue our reading<br><br>Isaiah 40:12-21 "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? [13] Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? [14] With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? [15] Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. [16] And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. [17] All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. [18] To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? [19] The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. [20] He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. [21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?"<br><br>The idol worshiper will learn that the problem is blood and the solution is blood. The sophisticated or the highly educated will also learn that the problem is blood and the solution is blood. The problem is the blood of the first Adam, and the solution is the blood of the second Adam. This message will go to the four corners of the earth, preparing the way for the second coming of the Lord.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 40:22-31 "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. [24] Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. [25] To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. [27] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? [28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. [29] He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. [30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: [31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."<br><br><br>It is the Lord Who will take His Word around. We're just going to be vessels used in the process.<br><br>Avail yourself as a vessel to be used by the Lord. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second blood, as we reveal him from the first blood. The word of His blood, preparing the way of the Lord, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but wisdom is with the humble.<br><br>Matthew 23:12 "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and He that shall humble himself shall be exalted."<br><br>Hezekiah exalts himself.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 39:1-2 "At that time Merodach–baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. [2] And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not."<br><br>Instead of pointing them to his God, he was pointing them to himself, exalting himself and his worldly accomplishments.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 39:3-7 "Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. [4] Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. [5] Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: [6] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. [7] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."<br><br>The righteousness of a father is a blessing to his children. Likewise, the unrighteousness of a father is a curse to his children.<br>Don't boast in yourself, but boast in the Lord. Boast in His finished work on your behalf.<br><br>Galatians 6:14 "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 39:8 "Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days."<br><br>The righteousness of David was a blessing to Solomon.

[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:"<br><br><br>Boast only in your salvation. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. God exalts the humble, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

When sin is removed, death is also removed. Hezekiah said, "Lord, you have cast all my sins behind your back."<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 38:1-3 "In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. [2] Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, [3] And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore."<br><br>Hezekiah knew the Lord. He believed the Lord could change his circumstance. He wept sore, not just with his eyes but with his heart. He repented.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 38:4-5 "Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, [5] Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years."<br><br>Death is swallowed up in life. Because of his repentant heart, turning to the way of God, Hezekiah lived 15 more years, just as God promised. Indicating God is the author of death and life. &nbsp;He is the author of death in the first Adam and life in the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 38:6-8 "And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. [7] And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; [8] Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."<br><br><br>Today, God has given the world the ultimate sign, and that sign is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the second Adam. That anyone who believes in His life, death, and resurrection, shall be removed from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of God. Shall be removed from the curse of the first Adam to the blessing of the second Adam, from damnation to eternal resurrected. life.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 38:9-17 "The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness: [10] I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years. [11] I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. [12] Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. [13] I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. [14] Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. [15] What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. [16] O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. [17] Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."<br><br>Hezekiah knew the answer to sin, which is the blood of Jesus Christ. The one who was chastised for our iniquities, bore the sins of the world. Hezekiah knew this truth. He pled this truth, and God recognized his pleading. God will recognize anyone who pleads the blood of Jesus Christ.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 38:18-22 "For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. [19] The living, the living, He shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. [20] The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. [21] For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. [22] Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"<br><br>The lamp of figs was placed on his boil, and he was healed. There was no healing properties in the lamp of figs but the Spirit of God. It was what healed him, and the lamp of figs was only a point of contact. At the pool of Bethesda, the sick would jump in the water when it was troubled, and they get healed. There was no healing in the water itself, but the Spirit of God that moved the water is what brought the healing. The water was only a point of contact. Today we have one point of contact, and that is the finished work of Jesus Christ. Our faith in that finished work allows the Spirit of God to bring healing to our bodies. Including the ultimate healing, which is our resurrection from death.<br><br>Turn your heart to the Lord in repentance. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. God hears the prayer of a repented heart, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Hezekiah rent his clothes and rightfully went into the house of the Lord.<br><br>Isaiah 37:2 "And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz."<br><br>When trouble arises, the borderline believer knows exactly where to go. They went straight to Isaiah, the man who had the Word of God, the man who was in tune with the&nbsp;Spirit of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 37:3-4 "And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. [4] It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left."<br><br>There is no maybe with the Lord. He hears everything. He is Righteous. As long as we have our faith placed in Him, through death and resurrection, have exited the blood of the first Adam into the Blood that He has provided, no devil can shoot an arrow at that man or woman who is encapsulated by the Blood of Jesus Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 37:5-6 "So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. [6] And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me."<br><br>Be not afraid of any threat from the devil, as long as your faith is placed in the blood of the second Adam. You've died with Him and resurrected with Him, in oneness. Satan cannot harm you, just like he cannot harm Him. <br><br>Revelation 1:10-18 "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. [12] And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; [13] And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. [14] His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. [16] And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. [17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."<br><br>He is the one that dwells in the believer. He is the one that dwells in the man or woman who has become one with Him through death and resurrection.<br>If He dwells in you, then where is fear? Then where is disease? Then where is death? Then where is Satan? They have to flee.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 37:7-29 "Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. [8] So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. [9] And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, [10] Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. [11] Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? [12] Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar? [13] Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? [14] And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. [15] And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, [16] O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. [17] Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God. [18] Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, [19] And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. [20] Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. [21] Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria: [22] This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. [23] Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. [24] By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel. [25] I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. [26] Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. [27] Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up. [28] But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. [29] Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest."<br><br>The Lord will always raise a standard against the enemy. No matter which way he comes against a believer, the Lord will turn the enemy the same way he came. If it is a disease, the Lord will bring healing. If it is death, the Lord will bring resurrection.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 37:30-33 "And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof. [31] And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward: [32] For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. [33] Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it."<br><br>Those are the same words from the Lord to Satan today. He shall not come into your body nor shoot an arrow or cast a bank against you, for the Lord has met him where he is 2,000 years ago, when He made an open shame of him on the cross. If you will place your faith in that finished work and live there in oneness with God through Christ, Satan is already defeated, and you don't ever have to worry about him.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 37:34-38 "By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. [35] For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. [36] Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. [37] So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. [38] And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead."<br><br>The Lord cannot lose a battle. Rest in him. He has defeated every enemy:<br>- the enemy of sin<br>- the enemy of disease<br>- the enemy of death<br>- and the enemy Satan himself is already defeated<br><br>Yoke yourself with the Lord in oneness. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. All enemies defeated, in Christ!<br>&nbsp;<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field. [3] Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.

[5] I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? [6] Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him. [7] But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? [8] Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. [9] How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? [10] And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it."<br><br><br>Satan may even present himself as if he is from God, to come and torment you. Many get sick, and they accept the sickness because they assume it’s from God. as a means to humble them or to teach them some kind of lesson. Sickness is never from God. Sickness is always from Satan just as sin is never from God. &nbsp;In unbelief and sin, God allows sickness, but in faith, God wants every believer healed in all areas of their life; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Like Satan, Sennacherib threatens Judah in the name of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 36:11-21 "Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall. [12] But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? [13] Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. [14] Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you. [15] Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. [16] Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern; [17] Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. [18] Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? [19] Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? [20] Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? [21] But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not."<br><br>When Satan comes to threaten, the child of God should just hold their peace and look to the hills of Calvary, where comes our help.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 36:22 "Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh."<br><br>Satan is a dog on a leash. He can bark, he can threaten. That's the best he can do. The child of God who has exited the blood of Adam into the blood of Christ is safe. He is in the Refuge which withstands every storm He or she is on the Rock, the unshakable Rock.<br><br>Hold your peace in satanic threats. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. No power of hell or scheme of man can pluck you out, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[2] It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God."<br><br>The reigning of Jesus Christ on earth brings us back to the very beginning when God was in covenant with the first Adam.

There shall not be any sadness. There shall be a lot of singing, joy, and gladness. A place for the ransomed of the Lord, those who have departed the blood of Adam into the blood of Christ.<br><br>Depart the blood of the first Adam.

[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."<br><br>All nations here point to the people who remain in the blood of the first Adam through unbelief. The indignation of the Lord is towards unbelief. It was the same indignation that sent Adam and Eve out of the garden. Through faith in the blood of the second Adam, every man or woman, boy or girl, can return to the Father, and be at peace with Him. The unbeliever, the man or woman who rejects the blood of the second Adam, awaits this indignation.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 34:3-5 "Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. [4] And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. [5] For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment."<br><br>The curse was in the Garden of Eden, and any man or woman who remains in that curse through unbelief shall face the sword of God. He has made a way for men and women to exit this cursed blood, but unbelief has blinded many.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 34:6-10 "The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. [7] And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. [8] For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. [9] And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. [10] It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever."<br><br>One thing the Lord cannot work with is unbelief. The unbeliever shall be cast out in a smoke or fire from generation to generation, forever and ever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 34:11-16 "But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness. [12] They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. [13] And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls. [14] The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. [15] There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate. [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."<br><br>It's one thing for the Lord to give us His Word. It's another thing for Him to stress that none of these warnings shall fail.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 34:17 "And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein."<br><br>The end of the unbeliever is a place which was prepared for Satan and his followers. Men and women end up in this place, which was not prepared for them, because they fail to simply believe the word of God.<br><br>Exit the nations into the kingdom of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Salvation is coming out of the nation of the first Adam's blood into the kingdom of the second Adam, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

But those who have become one with God, one in word, one in spirit, one in blood, cannot be deceived.<br><br>Isaiah writes, "Our salvation in times of trouble."<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 33:1-2 "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. [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."<br><br>Saved from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. This is how we escape the coming troubled days.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 33:3-6 "At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. [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. [5] The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: He hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. [6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure."<br><br>Wisdom and knowledge is the Spirit of God in a man or woman. This is the source of stability. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of this wisdom and knowledge. The fear of the Lord brings men and women unto salvation. This Spirit of God. Is accessible to the believer when they have been saved from the first Adam into the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 33:7-15 "Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. [8] The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. [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. [10] Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. [11] Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. [12] And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. [13] Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. [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."<br><br>The righteous are the only ones that would escape. They that have walked righteously and speak uprightly. They that have been led by His Spirit, they that have inherited His seed. They that are born of God.<br><br>1 John 3:9 "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."<br><br>&nbsp;They that are born of God have received the seed, the blood seed of God. Every seed bears its kind. A tomato seed will bear tomatoes and pepper seeds will bear peppers. Adam's blood seed, will bear Adam, and God's blood seed will bear God in man.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 33:16-22 "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. [17] Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. [18] Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is He that counted the towers? [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. [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. [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. [22] For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us."<br><br>The Lord Jesus Christ is our judge. He's our Lord, our Lawgiver, our King, and our Savior from the blood of the first Adam into His blood.<br><br>&nbsp;We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 33:23-24 "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. [24] And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."<br><br>&nbsp;And He is the forgiver of sins. When sin is removed, sickness is removed. &nbsp;The inhabitants shall no longer say they are sick because they have been removed from the cursed blood of the first Adam to the blessed blood of the second Adam.<br><br>Enter into the blood of God. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed him from the first Adam. He is the answer to the coming troubled days, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[4] The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly."<br><br>The word of God shall be plain. The sincere heart will find the true word of God. A clear line will be drawn between the believer and the unbeliever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 32:5-7 "The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. [6] For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and He will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. [7] The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right."<br><br>The believer will be softened in their faith. The unbeliever or vile person will be hardened even more.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 32:8-15 "But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. [9] Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. [10] Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. [11] Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. [12] They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. [13] Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: [14] Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; [15] Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest."<br><br>Just like the day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God will be poured upon the people, and the joy of the Lord shall cover the earth.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 32:16-18 "Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

The word of God comes to warn them: that trusting in Egypt and their horses, is like trusting man and flesh instead of trusting God and His Spirit.<br><br>Isaiah writes, "The Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit."<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 31:1 "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!"<br><br>Looking to anything or anyone other than the Holy One of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Blood of God, the Second Adam is death. Man fell through the first blood. Man can only be restored through the second blood.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 31:2-3 "Yet He also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity. [3] Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out His hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together."<br><br>Nothing can stand in the way of the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is the power that raised Jesus from the dead, the power that brings down and lifts up nations. The power to take life and to give life. There is no power that can stand in the way of the Holy Spirit. No satanic or demonic power. God is all power, the power of His Spirit.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 31:4-5 "For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. [5] As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it."<br><br><br>Just like He did to defend Jerusalem, He fights and defends the believer by His Spirit.<br><br>2 Kings 6:15-17 "And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? [16] And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. [17] And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."<br><br>If your eyes will be open today, you will see that you are covered by horses and chariots of fire, and no demon, no power, no evil can get close to you. This chariot of fire is the Holy Spirit who dwells in the blood of God, the blood of Jesus Christ that is surrounding the believer today.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 31:6-9 "Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. [7] For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin. [8] Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. [9] And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem."<br><br>That Ensign of God is Jesus Christ, Who is God in the Spirit. The first time that Name came out of mortal lips, it made a fetus in the womb of his mother leap for joy.<br><br>Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost."<br><br>His fire is in Zion, and His furnace is in Jerusalem. This fire and furnace is what's surrounding the believer today.<br><br>Be surrounded by the fire and the furnace of the Spirit of God. Believe and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. He is a chariot of fire about me, in Christ!<br><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Trusting in anything man can offer is a shadow.<br><br>Trust in God and His shed blood on your behalf. This is the substance.<br><br>Isaiah writes that they covered with coverings, but not of the Spirit of God.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 30:1 "Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:"<br><br>The covering of God is the blood that was shed for the whole world. When the children of Israel were in Egypt, God told them to put their blood on their doorposts, and the angel of death had to pass them over. The blood was their covering. Jesus is not just any blood, but &nbsp;God's blood. The Spirit of God is in His blood. That is why we overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb. There is power in the Blood. That power is the Holy Spirit in the Blood. The power is a sinlessness in the Blood.<br><br>Trusting in anything else on that night in Egypt to keep the angel of death away will only be a shadow. It will bring death to the firstborn of the household. It's only the household that placed the blood on their doorpost survived the angel of death.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:2-3 "That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! [3] Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion."<br><br>Trusting in anything else other than the blood of Jesus Christ results in shame and confusion at the least. It ultimately leads to eternal damnation.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:4-12 "For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. [5] They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. [6] The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. [7] For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. [8] Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: [9] That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: [10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: [11] Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. [12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:"<br><br>They were trusting in shadows instead of the word of God, which is Jesus Christ, God's blood. Trusting in anything else leads to oppression and perverseness.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:13-17 "Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. [14] And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. [15] For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. [16] But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. [17] One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill."<br><br><br>The Lord shall not spare the unbeliever, the one who is rejected, the only substance, the blood of Jesus Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:18-22 "And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. [19] For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. [20] And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: [21] And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. [22] Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence."<br><br>In repentance, Israel shall cast out all the shadows that they were trusting in. The Lord will therefore become their cover.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:23-28 "Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. [24] The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. [25] And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. [26] Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. [27] Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: [28] And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err."<br><br>The Lord shall become the covering of Israel from all her enemies, and will fight Israel's battles against the enemy nations. Israel at this time will no longer be trusting in shadows but the blood of Jesus Christ. This is the only way any Individual, nation, or group become one with God.<br><br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 30:29-33 "Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. [30] And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. [31] For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. [32] And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. [33] For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it."<br><br>The breath of the Lord will be their fire that destroys, just as the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.<br><br>Trust not in shadows. Believe and confess Jesus Christ, the blood of God, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. The blood of Jesus Christ is the covering of God over the believer, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The unbeliever will read but not understand. The word of God will be a sealed book to them because of their unbelief.<br>It is a problem in our world today. It is only faith in the Lamb that was slain that unseals this Book, the Word of God, the Scriptures, to the believer.<br><br>Isaiah writes:<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 29:1-6 "Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. [2] Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. [3] And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. [4] And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. [5] Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. [6] Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire."<br><br>The Lord will shake Jerusalem to bring them to repentance. This string runs through the whole Word of God. He seeks individuals to bring them to repentance. He shakes nations to bring them to repentance, and if they refuse to repent, He destroys them, like the flood of Noah, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. If the nation repents, He receives them and transforms them like Nineveh when they responded to the words of Jonah.<br><br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 29:7-8 "And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. [8] It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, He eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion."<br><br>When Jerusalem repents and is received by the Lord, then the enemies of Jerusalem will become the enemies of God. When we become one with God by exhibiting our faith in the blood of the second Adam, our enemies become the enemies of God, and our friends become the friends of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 29:9-12 "Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. [10] For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. [11] And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: [12] And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."<br><br>The Lord fights the battles for the believers. He brings confusion to the enemy's camp. The believer need not fight his or her own battles, but remain faithful to the Lord and allow Him to fight our battles.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 29:13 "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"<br><br>The Lord doesn't look at our words but at our hearts. He doesn't want our words. He wants our hearts in unity with Him. So that His heart beat becomes our heart beat. We become His hands and feet on earth;&nbsp;one with God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 29:14-22 "Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. [15] Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? [16] Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? [17] Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? [18] And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. [19] The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. [20] For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: [21] That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. [22] Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale."<br><br>He made a covenant with Abraham, and He kept that covenant throughout the generations: Isaac, Jacob; Israel.<br>He has established a new covenant in Christ and will keep that covenant with anyone who has entered this new covenant by expressing faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, the second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 29:23-24 "But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. [24] They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine."<br><br>When Israel has repented and turned to God by expressing faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Then those who erred in spirit shall God bring understanding. They shall see the word of God through Jesus Christ, the son of God. The doctrine of the blood of God shall be understood.<br><br>Turn your heart to the Blood of God. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed him from the first Adam. He looks not to our words, but our hearts, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Yet many will not come and rest in Him.<br><br>On the day of Pentecost, the promised Holy Spirit came, to dwell in the people. This is the rest and the refreshing. Yet many people will not hear to receive the Holy Spirit baptism.<br><br>God bypasses the hardened heart of religious men, and women and gives His word to children.<br><br>Isaiah writes:<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 28:1-5 "Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! [2] Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. [3] The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: [4] And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when He that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in His hand he eateth it up. [5] In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,"<br><br>The religious hierarchy will not heed the word of God. Alcohol has become their god. The true believer does not drink alcohol. The true believer is filled, not with wine, but with the Holy Spirit.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:6-8 "And for a spirit of judgment to Him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. [7] But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. [8] For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."<br><br>Today, the unbelieving church is full of wine. Beginning with the so-called priest to the least in the congregation, because they will not go the way of God, which is the way: the baptism with the Holy Spirit.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:9 "Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."<br><br>He gives His word to the prudent and humble, those with childlike faith In His word.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:10-12 "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: [11] For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people. [12] To whom He said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear."<br><br><br>The Holy Spirit baptism brings to the believer stammering lips with a new tongue. This is the rest and the refreshing for the weary. Yet the unbelieving church would not hear. They've rather turned to alcohol to be their rest and refreshing. Alcohol will never bring rest and will never refresh. Alcohol doesn't bring life but death.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:13-16 "But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. [14] Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. [15] Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: [16] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."<br><br>That foundation is Jesus Christ, the Tried Stone, the Precious Cornerstone, the Second Adam. He that believes in Him escapes the cursed blood of the first Adam into His blessed blood.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:17-20 "Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. [18] And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. [19] From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. [20] For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."<br><br>There is no place of comfort in the blood of the first Adam. The solution is to believe, and place that light of faith in the blood of the second Adam, the Sure Foundation.<br><br>&nbsp;We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:21-22 "For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. [22] Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth."<br><br>Like the time of Noah, Isaiah prophesies judgment not just against Israel or Judah, but against the whole world. By one man's sin, the sin of the first Adam, the whole world has fallen. By One Man's righteousness, the whole world&nbsp;is redeemed. A rejection of the second Adam is condemnation of the individual.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 28:23-29 "Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. [24] Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth He open and break the clods of his ground? [25] When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth He not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? [26] For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. [27] For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. [28] Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with His horsemen. [29] This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."<br><br>As the Husbandman or the Vinedresser, He prunes the believer to be more bountiful. He cuts off the unbeliever.<br><br>John 15:2 "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."<br><br>Every branch in Christ that bears no fruit is cut off. We exit the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam, not just to occupy space but to bear fruit. The scripture makes it clear: every branch in the blood of the second Adam that bears no fruit is taken away. When our faith is properly placed in the blood of the second Adam, He will bear the fruit of His Spirit, with signs and wonders following us. These are fruits of the Spirit in the believer.<br><br>Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"<br><br>The&nbsp;signs do not follow us because of our unbelief.<br><br>BELIEVE to be pruned by our Heavenly Father. Confess Christ the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. &nbsp;The rest and the refreshing, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."<br><br>Israel will bring the word of God to the world like they were supposed to.<br><br>Isaiah writes<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 27:1-3 "In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. [2] In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. [3] I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day."<br><br>Israel, like the believer today, is protected by God, pruned to bear more fruit unto righteousness.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 27:4-6 "Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. [5] Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. [6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit."<br><br>Just like the believer today, Israel shall take root. It shall blossom and bud and bear fruit over the face of the world. They shall bring the word of peace, the word of God, to the rest of the world.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 27:7-9 "Hath He smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is He slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? [8] In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: He stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. [9] By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when He maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up."<br><br>Just like the believer, the sins of Israel shall be purged because they have come out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of Jesus Christ, the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 27:10-12 "Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. [11] When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. [12] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel."<br><br>The Lord shall gather Israel one by one from the neighboring nations, as the hen gathers her chicks. This is exactly what Jesus Christ wanted to do for Israel in his first coming.<br><br>Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"<br><br>He will be able to gather Israel at the Great Tribulation.<br><br><br>We conclude our reading<br><br>Isaiah 27:13 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem."<br><br>We shall come from all nations to worship the Lord in the holy mountain of Jerusalem. At the sound of the Jubilee trumpet.<br><br>Become a branch of the Vine. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, the Vine, as we revealed Him from the first Adam.

We cannot exhaust the Love of God. Israel will see the salvation of the Lord and will provoke a song in them.<br><br>Isaiah writes:<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 26:1-4 "In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. [2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. [3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. [4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:"<br><br>We trust Him by trusting His word. Three great words: "At your word", Lord.<br>Trusting in his word is the ultimate protection. Jesus Christ is this Word of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 26:5-6 "For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. [6] The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy."<br><br>The lofty and prideful ones are those who trusted Him not, who remained in unbelief. He will bring them to dust and a pit of darkness.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 26:7-10 "The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. [8] Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. [9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. [10] Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD."<br><br>Righteousness cannot be taught. Righteousness must be believed. You can teach someone to sing. You can teach them to dance, but you can't teach one to believe. It is a free will that God has given every man. They have to activate that faith at their own will. They say you can bring the horse to the river, but you cannot make the horse drink. The thirst begins in the horse. The desire to believe must begin in the heart of the individual. The wicked can never learn righteousness until they believe to be righteous. They must believe in the blood of Jesus Christ to be moved out of the blood of our first father, to become one with the Righteous One.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 26:11-16 "LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. [12] LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. [13] O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. [14] They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. [15] Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. [16] LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them."<br><br>The Lord chastened them. He brought them to their knees. They responded in repentance, and He restored them. So will he restore anyone who would heed his chastening.<br><br>Hebrews 12:6-7,11 "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."<br><br>He chastened Judah out of love, and that chastenng brought out a fruit of righteousness.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 26:17-18 "Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. [18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen."<br><br>The pregnant woman in nine months, in pain, will bring forth a child. This is the believer. The unbeliever will go through birth pains but bring forth wind. Empty! No fruit unto righteousness.<br>The unbeliever, in the end, has nothing to show forth. Because everything in the blood of the first Adam is already destroyed. Life is only in the blood of the second Adam, Jesus Christ.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 26:19-21 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. [20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. [21] For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."<br><br>He gave us His life beyond the grave. The believer is guaranteed the first resurrection. For Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life. Not so for the wicked. The wicked remain separated from God. They remain as slaves to Satan. The wicked go where Satan goes, and that's the pit of hell.<br><br>Only BELIEVE. Place your faith in Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Unbelief is the ultimate sin, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

His Word is faithful and true. His Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 25:2-4 "For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. [3] Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. [4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."<br><br>Every man or woman in the loins of Adam was a captive of Satan. Deliverance came when Love went to the cross to shed His blood for the believer to exit the loins of the first Adam into the loins of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 25:5-7 "Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. [6] And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. [7] And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations."<br><br>Today, the United Nations is an arm of Satan, Soon, all nations shall be cut off and brought to judgment. The only people that will stand are those that have found refuge by exhibiting their faith in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 25:8-9 "He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. [9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."<br><br>Death in the blood of the first Adam is swallowed up in victory in the blood of the second Adam. Hallelujah!<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 25:10-12 "For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. [11] And He shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as He that swimmeth spreadeth forth His hands to swim: and He shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. [12] And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust."<br><br>Nations who think they are hiding behind the fortresses of high walls, high fortified walls, shall be exposed. They shall be brought low, even to dust. No nation will stand, no kingdom shall prevail. There will be only one kingdom, one king. The Lamb of God, the Blood of God, the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ.<br><br>Exit the loins of the first Adam into the loins of the second Adam.

Hell was never meant for men and women. God has prepared heaven for man and woman in His image, but unbelief is what keeps us &nbsp;from heaven. Unbelief of the word of God.<br><br>God makes everything new.<br><br>Isaiah writes,<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 24:1-3 "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. [2] And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. [3] The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word."<br><br>&nbsp;The earth will be emptied. God will take the believer, the one who has placed their faith in His word, and the unbeliever will remain with Satan, bound for the darkness of hell.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 24:4-5 "The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. [5] The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant."<br><br>The first blood covenant with Adam was broken in the Garden of Eden. God established a second covenant, an everlasting covenant, through the second Adam, but men and women refuse to enter into this covenant. They refuse&nbsp;to heed the word of God. They remain in unbelief. This is what has defiled the earth. This is why the earth needs a makeover.<br><br>At the time of Noah, the same unbelief reigned on the earth, and God had to destroy and start it all over.<br><br>Genesis 6:5-8 "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. [8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.."<br><br>Those who place their faith in the Word of God, Jesus Christ, the second Adam, will find grace in the eyes of the Lord.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 24:6-18 "Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. [7] The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. [8] The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. [9] They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. [10] The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. [11] There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. [12] In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. [13] When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. [14] They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. [15] Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. [16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. [17] Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. [18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake."<br><br>Thunderings and earthquakes. There would be no place to hide, just like the time of Noah's flood. There was no place for men to hide, but in the ark, they looked for the ark, and it was too late.<br><br>Today, the ark is the blood of the second Adam, becoming one with Christ in His life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and now His presence, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, dwelling in you. This is the escape route that God has provided. We enter the Ark by turning on our light off faith.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 24:19-23 "The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. [20] The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. [21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. [22] And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. [23] Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously."<br><br>The sun shall be ashamed to give its light. The moon will have no light to reflect. A day of darkness, a day of separation, based on one thing: the word of God. The believer is separated unto God.

He Shook The Kingdoms"<br><br>Reference: Isaiah Chapter 23<br><br>Let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. His kingdom has come. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the entry point to this kingdom. God is not destroying kingdoms for the sake of destroying, but to point them to the true kingdom, the one kingdom. The kingdom that was coming then and has now come when Jesus brought that kingdom of God to earth. The first kingdom began in the first Adam. He was the head of the kingdom, and when he broke his covenant with God, his kingdom fell apart. So did every seed of blood that was in him. The first Adam forfeited the kingdom to Satan. Satan is the head of all the kingdoms of the world. The second Adam had to come and take the kingdom, not from the first Adam but from the hands of Satan. Many men and women have tried to build kingdoms under the power of Satan, but those kingdoms could not stand. The kingdom of Satan has now become the kingdom of our God in Christ.<br><br>Revelation 11:15 "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."<br><br>The new kingdom has come, established in the blood of the second Adam, for men to exit the first kingdom into this new kingdom by faith in the finished work of the second Adam on the cross of Christ.<br><br>The destruction of the kingdom of Tyre.<br><br>Isaiah writes, let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 23:1-5 "The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. [2] Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. [3] And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. [4] Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. [5] As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre."<br><br>Just like the destruction of Egypt, so shall Tyre be captured by the Babylonians. The warning was clear, and the word of God was fulfilled. The gospel warning is clear today, and the word of God shall be fulfilled. It's only one kingdom that will stand. It is the Kingdom established in the blood of the second Adam. No religion, culture, ethnicity, nation, or continent shall stand outside the blood of the second Adam. God is gathering His people into His blood.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 23:6-9 "Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. [7] Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. [8] Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? [9] The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth."<br><br>Religion is the pride of man. Worshipping something outside the one true God. Worshipping things made with their hands. God is making it clear: the problem of man is blood, the corrupted blood of Adam, the first Adam, of whom every man ot woman is a seed. The solution is the shed blood of the second Adam. Man and woman in pride resist to exit the blood of the first Adam into the blood the second Adam, hence their ultimate destruction.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 23:10-11 "Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. [11] He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof."<br><br>He shook the kingdoms then and will be shaking the kingdoms now. Every nation shall hear about the blood of the second Adam, and it will be a clear warning to exit the blood of the first Adam. Those who remain in the blood of the first Adam will be to their destruction.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 23:12-15 "And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. [13] Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. [14] Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. [15] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot."<br><br>Seventy years of Babylonian captivity, but in the coming great tribulation, there will not be a restoration of any kingdom, just like the time of Noah. The only people that lived were those in the ship. Everybody else drowned in hell, so shall it be in the great tribulation: only those in the blood of the second Adam shall find refuge. Everybody else will enter into hell's darkness.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 23:16-18 "Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. [17] And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. [18] And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing."<br><br>Those who turn and hear the word of God and exit the blood of the first Adam shall be holiness unto the Lord. They shall be called the people of God.<br><br>Turn to the word of God, BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. Two kingdoms: the kingdom of the first Adam and the kingdom of the second Adam. Only one kingdom stands, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>
