Isaiah

 


Isaiah Chapter 16

 

  •  Isaiah 16:1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
  • 2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
  • 3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
  • 4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

According to many bible theologians, the outcasts are the children of Israel. The extortionist is the antichrist or beast. The coming of Jesus Christ with His army from heaven defeats the oppressors. This is when the Jewish people recognize that Jesus whom their forefathers rejected was truly the Son of God, Jesus Christ. At the end of the great tribulation it will be Jesus Christ and His army form heaven and not the United States that will save Israel. Israel should start looking to God and not the United States for help. As much as I love the United States they may not always be a friend to Israel. That depends on politics and whoever is in power. As we have seen through the years that can quickly change. The only one who does not change is God and in Him we better start putting our trust.

This command is for Moab to be a covert to them that run from the spoiler. That may be the time when a remnant of Israel who were not part of the 144,000 that were sealed to escape the plagues so they had to flee from the armies of the antichrist to a place prepared by God. 

  • Revelation 12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 

Israel is the woman in Revelation 12 and not the church which was mistakenly taught in the days previous to 1948. That baby born to the woman most believe is Christ, others believe the manchild is the 144,000 of the tribe of Israel sealed through the plagues. In both senarioes though, the woman could not be the church. Jesus was born in Israel, not from the church. The same goes for the 144,000. The Gentile church is not the woman.

  • Isaiah 16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

This tells of the rule of Jesus Christ upon the earth after the false reign of the antichrist and spoiler of nations.

  • Isaiah 16: 6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
  • 7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
  • 8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
  • 9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
  • 10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.
  • 11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
  • 12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
  • 13 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

This prophecy reverts back to the days in Isaiah's time where he prophesies of the coming judgment upon Moab.

  • Isaiah 16:14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.

We see that a remnant will be saved and restored for future fulfillment of prophecy.

Although Moab was destroyed by the Assyrians still a remnant remained and that remnant has a latter day purpose. As I mentioned before, Moab will be the place in which a remnant of the Jews will flee to escape the antichrist in the latter days during the tribulation period. We don't know when this will be.
