Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible Part Six: Lamentations To Ezekiel: Learn About Armageddon, Golgatha, And The Four Resurrections

 

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 25 Speaks About The Book Of Lamentations

     The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books. 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah corresponds to a book of the bible. Isaiah's 66 chapters correspond to 66 books of the bible. The book of Isaiah is a miniature bible that speaks about every book of the bible. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah has at least two references to a corresponding book of the bible. This only occurs in a 1611 KJV bible that has infinite mathematical perfection to discover. Let's journey through every chapter in the book of Isaiah and a corresponding book of the bible to learn about the Word of God. 

     Isaiah chapter 25 speaks about the book of Lamentations. Isaiah chapter 25 and the book of Lamentations both speak about the battle of Armageddon where the Lord Jesus will tread and trample the devil, the beast antichrist, the false prophet, and everyone that rejected the Lord Jesus in the winepress wrath of God and give victory to the bride church, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints. 

     Isaiah 25:10 speaks about Armageddon where Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies. For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden under Him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. Lamentations 1:15 also speaks about Armageddon where Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies. The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

     Everyone has a choice to either receive Jesus and get saved or reject Jesus and be damned. Whatever anyone does with the chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus determines where they will live forever. If you get saved with Jesus, you will live forever in the peaceful kingdom of God. If you reject Jesus, you will be tormented forever in hell and the lake of fire. Ephesians 2:19 tells us that saved christians are built upon the foundation chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus Christ. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.

     Anyone that rejects the chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus will be broken, crushed, and ground to powder when Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies in the winepress wrath of God. Luke 20:17 says And He (Jesus) beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The (chief corner) stone (Jesus) which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. These broken and crushed enemies that reject the Lord Jesus will be cast into hell and the lake of fire to be tormented for ever.

     I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will get saved and escape the wrath of God and live with the Lord Jesus for ever in the peaceful kingdom of God. 1 Peter 2:6 describes what happens to anyone that gets saved and believes that the chief corner stone (Jesus) is precious. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone (the Lord Jesus), elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. 

     Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

     Note the following scriptures about christians being saved from the winepress wrath of God's judgment. Romans 5:9 says Much more then, being now justified by His (Jesus') blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 says And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 says For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. The wrath of God is reserved for the devil, beast antichrist, the false prophet, and anyone that rejects the Lord Jesus. But saved christians, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints will escape the wrath of God.

Get Saved And Escape The Winepress Wrath Of The Lord Jesus

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again 

The Lord Jesus Will Tread, Trample, And Defeat His Enemies

And Everyone That Rejected Jesus

At The Battle Of Armageddon

     Pictured above the Beast Antichrist will come to his end in Israel at the final Battle of Armageddon in the valley of Megiddo (also called the Jezreel Valley). Revelation 16:16 speaks about the final Battle of Armageddon. And he (the Lord Jesus) gathered them together (the Antichrist and his nations) into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (at the valley of Megiddo pictured above to fight Jesus).

     Today Armageddon exists and is called Tel Meggido (an archeological site with 25 layers of different civilizations). A Tel is a man made creation (not a natural mountain) that consists of layers of superimposed cities rebuilt on top of one another after battles. New rulers built new homes and buildings on top of conquered cities. When archeologists dig down into a Tel they find remains of different civilizations in different uncovered layers or strata.  Since most of the battles in the bible were fought at the Jezreel Megiddo valley, the final battle and Jesus' victory will be at Armageddon.  

     Jesus will defeat the Beast Antichrist and the false prophet at Tel Meggido and cast them alive into the lake of fire to suffer 1000 years and forever. Revelation 19:19 says And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Isaiah 14:25 speaks about the Assyrian Antichrist's defeat by Jesus saying That I (the Lord Jesus) will break the Assyrian in my land (at the valley of Megiddo in Israel), and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

     At Armageddon and during the Millennium Jesus will rule the world for 1000 years with a rod of iron. Instead of being a meek Lamb of God like the first time Jesus appeared on this earth, Jesus will be a Lion of the tribe of Judah and King of kings for 1000 years on this earth. Revelation 14:19 and Isaiah 63:1 describe what happens during the battle of Armageddon. Jesus will tread down all enemy nations in the winepress of His wrath where the blood of the slain will be the height of a horse's bridle by the space of about 200 miles. 

     Revelation 14:19 describes Armageddon saying And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs (200 miles) (1 furlong=1/8 of a mile: 1600 furlongs/8=200 miles). 

     Isaiah 63:1 also describes Armageddon saying Who is this (Jesus) that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah (defined as sheepfold)?  Before Jesus returns to earth, Jesus will have his angels gather the tribulation saints that endured to the end (sheep from the sheepfold) from the city of Bozrah in Edom, Jordan at Petra and anywhere else on earth that escaped the Beast Antichrist to join the bride church army in heaven. When Jesus returns to this earth, Jesus will first split the Mount of Olives with His feet (Zechariah 14:4) and go through the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem followed by His army (the bride church, old testament saints, and tribulation saints). 

     Finally Jesus and all his saved army saints will go to Armageddon to fight, defeat, and cast the Beast Antichrist and the false prophet alive into the lake of fire. Note that Jesus' garments will be dyed with the blood of the defeated sinners trodden down by the winepress wrath of Jesus. Isaiah 63:1 describes the Lord Jesus in His glory saying this that is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

     Isaiah 63:2 goes on to say Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like Him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. Finally Isaiah 63:6 describes the winepress wrath of God during Armageddon saying And I (Jesus) will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.  

     Notice Goliath of Gath pictured above mocking little David who challenged Goliath to a battle. David took a stone, slang it at Goliath, and smote Goliath in his forehead and slew Goliath. Then David took Goliath's sword and cut off Goliath's head. Then David took Goliath's head and drug it past King Saul. But David did not stop there. David drug Goliath's head all the way to Jerusalem. This is stated at 1 Samuel 17:54 that says And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

     You might say Why is it so important to remember that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem? The answer to this question is one of the most incredible revelations Jesus ever revealed to Brother Bob. I pray in Jesus name that when you read this revelation, joy, peace, and strength will bless every area of your lives. Put on you seat belts and prepare to shout for victory while you view the picture below and the true meaning of Golgatha and the place where our Lord Jesus was crucified.

     Pictured above is Golgatha that the bible says is the place where Jesus was crucified. Golgatha exists today in Israel and is called the place of a skull. John 19:17 says And He (Jesus) bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha (also called Golgatha): Where they crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

     Now remember that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem and left Goliath's head at a place called Golgatha. I wanted to shout a victory praise all day when Jesus showed Brother Bob that Golgatha really means Gol-Goliath Gath of Gath a. You see friend if you look closely at the picture of what Golgatha looks like today, notice the big giant skull of Goliath in the middle of the rocks. Look closely at the above picture to see Goliath's forehead, two eyes, nose, mustache, teeth that are laughing, and a chin. Goliath was a large giant with a big head. Just think how big Goliath's body was when you look above at how big Goliath's head was.

     Now you might say Brother Bob Why is it so blessed to remember that Jesus was crucified over the skull of the giant Goliath? The answer is that when Jesus died for his saints on the cross at Golgatha, Jesus destroyed any giant problems for all saved saints, and Jesus wants us to remember that Goliath's head now is just a skull and the giant Goliath no longer exists. Golgatha is just Goliath's skull with no Goliath. In the picture above, Jesus was crucified over the skull of Goliath and truly destroyed and bruised satan under His feet. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.

     For my final thought on this subject, lets look at the Hebrew definitions of David, Goliath, and Gath. David (beloved) represents the beloved church. Goliath (splendour) represents the glamorous world that fades away. And Gath (winepress) represents Jesus trampling over the devil's head in victory. Now remember that the bible says that Jesus treadeth, tramples, and crushes the devil in the great winepress of the wrath of God (Revelation 14:19). Along with Jesus, I claim in Jesus name that my friends (the beloved church) tread, trample, and crush all their giant problems under their feet. In Jesus name, to anyone reading this, the devil and all your problems past, present, and future are under your feet and have disappeared.  

Isaiah Chapter 26 Speaks About The Book Of Ezekiel

     Isaiah chapter 26 speaks about the book of Ezekiel. Isaiah chapter 26 and the book of Ezekiel both speak about the resurrection of the old testament saints. Note that there are four different resurrections of 144000 preselected Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, tribulation saints with the rest of the old testament saints, and millennial saints that when finished are called the first resurrection. 

     Isaiah 26:19 says Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.  Ezekiel said that the old testament saints who are in a valley of dry bones will resurrect and come to life. Ezekiel 37:3 says And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 

     Ezekiel 37:11 says Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

Four Resurrections That When Finished Are Called The First Resurrection

1) Firstfruits-Resurrection of 144000 Jewish Old Testament Saints

2) Harvest-Resurrection Of The Bride Church

3) Gleanings-Resurrection Of Old Testament And Tribulation Saints

4) Millennial Saints Receive Their Glorified Bodies At The Millennium's End

     Four resurrections are noted in the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 describes these four resurrections: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ (Jesus is the first to be resurrected), the firstfruits (144000 preselected Jewish old testament saints that got resurrected after Jesus died on the cross of Calvary who will return to earth from heaven during the tribulation). Revelation 14:4 says These 144000 Jewish old testament saints were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 

     After Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, Matthew 27:52 says And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints (only the firstfruits who are the144000 Jewish saints who are many but not all of the old testament saints) which slept arose, And (the 144000 Jewish old testament saints) came out of the graves after His (Jesus') resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 1 Corinthians 15:23 continues to say afterward they that are Christ's at His coming (the resurrected harvest or bride church at the rapture). Then cometh the end (the resurrection of the rest of the old testament saints and the tribulation saints called the gleanings), when He (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 

     The phrase "Come up hither" appears three times in the bible describing the above noted three resurrections. God's Word tells us about three "Come up hithers" that describe the resurrections of the 144000 Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, the old testament saints, and the tribulation saints. The first "Come up hither" describing the 144000 Jewish old testament saints resurrecting first is at Proverbs 25:7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

     The second "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the bride church occurs at Revelation 4:1. The disciple John said After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. The disciple John was called the beloved disciple whom Jesus loved and represents the bride church that the bridegroom Jesus loves (John 21:20, 24).    

     The third "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints represented by the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) occurs at Revelation 11:12. And they (Moses and Elijah) heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. The rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints by the reaper angels like wheat gathered into a barn separated from the tares is described at the following two scriptures. Matthew 24:31 says And He (Jesus) shall send His angels (the reapers) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect (old testament and tribulation saints) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 13:30 says Let both grow together (wheat and tares) until the harvest (rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints): and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers (angels), Gather ye together first the tares (people that rejected Jesus), and bind them in bundles to burn them (in the lake of fire): but gather the wheat (old testament and tribulation saints) into my barn (storehouse in heaven).

     Revelation 14:14-16 also describes the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints that is different from the earlier rapture of the bride church. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man (Jesus), having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And He that sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. When Jesus thrusts in His sickle, the reaper angels will gather the old testament and tribulation saints up to heaven to join the bride church army of God.

     Revelation 14:17-20 says And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

     To summarize Revelation 14:14-20, after the first rapture of the bride church that gets caught up to the clouds to meet Jesus, before Jesus touches the Mount of Olives on this earth, Jesus will again appear upon a cloud with a golden crown using a sharp sickle for a second rapture by angels who gather the old testament and tribulation saints to join the bride church army in heaven. Next two other angels will reap the tares (bind all those that rejected Jesus and took the mark of the beast antichrist into bundles and use fire to burn them in the lake of fire). 

     At the battle of Armageddon Jesus will return to earth after touching the Mount of Olives with his army (the bride church, old testament saints, and the tribulation saints) to cast the beast antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire alive. Jesus will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to rule and reign with a rod of iron on this earth for 1000 years, trampling those that rejected Jesus like a winepress where the blood will be unto the horse bridles for 200 miles that is 1600 furlongs.

     Daniel 12:1-2 describes the resurrection of the old testament saints (separate and after the bride church's earlier resurrection at the rapture) that occurs with the tribulation saints' resurrection at the end of the tribulation. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time (the great 7 year tribulation): and at that time thy people (old testament and tribulation saints) shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

     The resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium is described at Revelation 20:4-5 that says And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years (resurrected tribulation saints). But the rest of the dead (millennial saints) lived not again until the thousand years were finished (resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium). This is the first resurrection (old testament, church, tribulation, and millennial saints).  

     Revelation 20:6 goes on to say Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Hallelujah, saved saints in the church are kings and priests with Jesus that will rule and reign with Jesus over cities during the millennium and forever in the kingdom of God. Revelation 1:6 tells us that Jesus has made christians in the church kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  

Job And Hosea Spoke About The Resurrection Of The Old Testament Saints

     Job and Hosea spoke about the resurrection of the old testament saints. Job 19:25 says For I know that my redeemer (Jesus) liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Hosea 13:14 says I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

     Like the old testament saints, saved christians in the bride church will also be resurrected to eternal life. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. John 5:28 says Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

     1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

Blessed Sayings About The Rapture

I'm not looking for the undertaker, I'm looking for the uppertaker (Jesus Christ)

I'm not looking for a hole in the ground, I'm looking for a hole in the sky

I'm not looking for a sign, I'm listening for a sound

According To 1 Corinthians 15:55 Christians Who Are Alive During The Rapture

Will Say O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

And The Dead In Christ Will Say O Grave, Where Is Thy Victory?

We're Getting Out Of Here Like Superman

And Coming Back Like The Lone Ranger

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible Part Five: Ecclesiastes To Jeremiah: Learn About The Whirlwind, The Dance Of Mahanaim, And The Devil's Death Sentence

 

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 21 Speaks About The Book Of Ecclesiastes

     The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books. 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah corresponds to a book of the bible. Isaiah's 66 chapters correspond to 66 books of the bible. The book of Isaiah is a miniature bible that speaks about every book of the bible. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah has at least two references to a corresponding book of the bible. This only occurs in a 1611 KJV bible that has infinite mathematical perfection to discover. Let's journey through every chapter in the book of Isaiah and a corresponding book of the bible to learn about the Word of God. 

     Isaiah chapter 21 speaks about the book of Ecclesiastes. Isaiah chapter 21 and the book of Ecclesiastes both speak about how the Lord Jesus is mighty and powerful in the whirlwind and yet merciful to humble christians that reverence and worship His magnificent holiness. Isaiah 21:1 says The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. Ecclesiastes 1:6 says The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. Notice how the number 1 at Isaiah 21:1 corresponds to the 1st chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes at Ecclesiastes 1:6. Both of these scriptures speak about the Lord Jesus who is mighty, powerful, and yet merciful in the whirlwind.

The Lord Jesus Can Make The Whirlwind Cease Or Make The Whirlwind Blow

     The Lord Jesus has the power to make the whirlwind cease or make the whirlwind blow. Even when men can't control or stop stormy winds that rush forth with an irresistable force, Jesus has power over the wind to make it cease or blow again. Jesus made the wind cease during a storm on a boat with his disciples. Mark 4:39 says And He (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? The Lord Jesus made the raging waves lay down like sleeping dogs at His feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sleep. And the Lord Jesus can also make the wind blow. Psalm 147:18 says He sendeth out His Word, and melteth them: He (Jesus) causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

     Note the incredible power of the Lord Jesus while you say Proverbs 30:4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou cast tell? Proverbs 30:4 tells us that the Lord Jesus hath gathered the wind in His fists. In other words Jesus can hold the wind fast in His fists or let the wind loose by just opening His fists. What a powerful God the Lord Jesus is who can stop a tornado or cyclone by just gathering the wind in his fists. 

The Lord Jesus Walks On The Wings Of The Wind

Among 20000 Chariots With Innumerable Angels On The Clouds Of Heaven

      Note the power and majesty of the Lord Jesus stated at Psalm 104:1 that says Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind. Psalm 68:17 says The chariots (angels riding on horses) of God are 20000 (note that the Hebrew definition for 20000 is myriad or infinite chariots with innumerable angels), even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

     Even though the Lord Jesus is mighty and powerful in the whirlwind, the Lord Jesus is merciful and slow to anger, blessing christians that reverence His magnificent holiness. Nahum 1:3 says The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; the Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. Isaiah 57:15 says For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. After Elijah experienced a rushing mighty whirlwind, an earthquake, and a fire in a cave, the Lord Jesus spoke to Elijah with a peaceful still small voice (1 Kings 19:11-15).

     The disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost after they experienced the presence of the Lord Jesus in a rushing mighty whirlwind. Acts 2:1 says And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

     The Lord Jesus who is the Holy Spirit is a rushing mighty whirlwind that can't be seen but can be felt. After anyone gets saved with Jesus, like the wind, they can feel God's presence even though they can't see God. Jesus said at John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 

     In other words faith in the Lord Jesus is required to be saved. Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus): for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Even though you can't see the Lord Jesus or the wind, get saved and receive the Lord Jesus by faith. After salvation with the Lord Jesus, you will feel the peaceful presence of God like a peaceful ocean breeze on a seashore.

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning, 

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

Isaiah Chapter 22 Speaks About The Book Of Song Of Solomon

      Isaiah chapter 22 speaks about the book of Song of Solomon. Isaiah chapter 22 and the book of Song of Solomon both speak about what happens when the Shulamite bride church meets the bridegroom who is the Lord Jesus. After the bride church gets rejected by the world, the Lord Jesus tells the bride church to return to God and receive joy, peace, and strength. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have ovecome the world.

     Isaiah 22:4 speaks about the bride church's sorrow in this world. Only the Lord Jesus can deliver anyone from the sorrow of this world. Isaiah 22:4 says Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. Song of Solomon 1:6 also speaks about the bride church's sorrow in this world. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. 

     The bridegroom who is the Lord Jesus tells the Shulamite bride church to return to God who will remove the sorrow of the world. The Lord Jesus says at Song of Solomon 6:13 Return, return, O Shulamite (the perfect and peaceful bride church because Jesus washed away christians' sins with His own precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary); return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company (dance) of two armies (called the Mahanaim).

What Is The Dance Of Two Armies Or The Dance Of Mahanaim

After Salvation By The Bride Church With The Bridegroom Jesus

     After the Lord Jesus told the Shulamite bride church to return to God, He said that when anyone looks upon the Shulamite bride church, they will see a dance of two armies called the dance of Mahanaim. Mahanaim called two camps or two armies was mentioned by Jacob when he met the angels of God. Genesis 32:1 says And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host (armies of angels): and he called the name of that place Mahanaim (two camps or two armies). Saved christians in the bride church are as the angels of God in heaven and experience the dance of Mahanaim with the bridegroom Jesus. Matthew 22:30 says For in the resurrection they (saved christians) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

     The dance of Mahanaim or the dance of two armies represents the perfect union between the bride church and the Lord Jesus where christians learn to dance in step harmoniously with Jesus. Christians step into unlimited spiritual authority and purpose by letting the Lord Jesus lead them in both natural and spiritual realms. Christians are encouraged to learn the Mahanaim dance by aligning their steps, hearts, and movements with God's divine purpose while they are guided by Jesus' presence. 

     After salvation with the Lord Jesus, christians should experience the dance of Mahanaim by becoming more and more like the Lord Jesus every day. 1 John 2:6 says He that saith he abideth in Him (Jesus) ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says But we all, with open face beholding, as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 1 John 4:17 says Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

     1 Peter 2:21 explains how to follow the steps of Jesus while you get blessed with the dance of Mahanaim. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. In other words let go and let God when you feel overwhelmed by this world. Remember Brother Bob's motto for success. Avoid angry people, forgive forever, and always love your enemies.

     After the marriage celebration in heaven between the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus, there will be a blessed marriage supper during the millennium on this earth where the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus will enjoy the dance of Mahanaim. After the blessed wedding in heaven between the church and Jesus, there will be a blessed dance of Mahanaim where christians, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints will rejoice and dance at the marriage supper during the millennium with the Lord Jesus because of eternal victory over the devil and this troubled world. 

Isaiah Chapter 23 Speaks About The Book Of Isaiah

     Isaiah chapter 23 speaks about the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 23 and the book of Isaiah speak about the destruction of the devil (king of Tyre or Tyrus) and mystery Babylon that is Rome, Italy and the Vatican Catholic church where Israel will be the strongest nation on this earth during the thousand year millennium. Everything will be brought low and only the Lord Jesus will be exalted during the millennium. Isaiah 23:1 says 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 (all the islands and every nation on this earth except Israel) it is revealed to them. 

     The king of Tyre or Tyrus speaks about the devil. The Hebrew definition for Tyre or Tyrus is a little r rock that describes the devil. A capital R Rock describes the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. The devil is nothing but a powerless fake imitation of the Lord Jesus. Deuteronomy 32:30 says How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock (the devil) is not as our Rock (the Lord Jesus), even our enemies themselves being judges.

     Note what God thinks of all the nations on this earth except Israel. Isaiah 40:15 says 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. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. God considers every nation nothing and less than nothing (a 0 with the ring taken out) except Israel who is not reckoned (numbered) among the nations. 

     Numbers 23:9 says For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people (Israel) shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned (numbered) among the nations. In other words look for the nation of Israel to soon be removed from the United Nations. Israel will be the strongest nation where Jesus and the saved church, old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints will rule and reign on this earth for 1000 years with King Jesus. Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 

     Amos tells us that after the Jews were restored to the land of Israel on May 14, 1948, no one will be able to pull up the Jews out of the land of Israel. Amos 9:14 says And I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. No nation will be able to remove the Jews from Israel. 

     When any nation fights against Jerusalem, that nation fights against God and will be destroyed. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Remember what God told Balaam about the Jews and Israel. God said you can't curse what I have blessed. Numbers 22:12 says And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people (the Jews and Israel): for they are blessed.

     Isaiah 2:12 says For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

The Prophets Isaiah And Ezekiel Speak About The Devil's Death Sentence

     Isaiah 14:12 says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (devil), son of the morning. how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (note that the devil will be powerless and falling by the sides of a bottomless pit with no bottom for 1000 years). Tell the devil you're going to be on the chain gang for 1000 years chained with a great chain where you will be falling continuously with no bottom in a sealed bottomless pit. 

     They that see thee (devil) shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Remember that with the Lord Jesus, christians always have the victory over the devil who is trodden under our feet. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace (the Lord Jesus) shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

     Ezekiel 28:12 speaks about the king of Tyrus or Tyre who is the devil that was in the garden of Eden and the devil's death sentence forever in the lake of fire. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

     The devil was the 5th cherub and king over the reptiles who was cast out of heaven. Note that the other four cherubims that remain continuously praising the Lord Jesus in heaven are the lion, king of the wild beasts, the ox or calf, king of the domesticated animals, the eagle, king of the fowls (birds), and man, king of the people. Ezekiel 28:14 describes the devil and says Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

     By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Revelation 18:8 says that the devil and the merchandise of Babylon Rome, Italy and the Vatican Catholic church with it's billions of dollars will be utterly destroyed in one day when they are cast into the lake of fire forever. Therefore shall her (the devil with the beast antichrist Roman Catholic church) plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God (Jesus) who judgeth her. 

     Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick: therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee, All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Rejoice because soon the devil, the beast antichrist, and the false prophet will become ashes in the lake of fire forever and never shalt they be anymore. Revelation 20:10 says And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

     Rejoice because there will be five downs for the devil because of the devil's five proud I wills at Isaiah 14:12-14. The first down from the third heaven to the second heaven is noted at Isaiah 14:12 that says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning. how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations. The second down from the second heaven to the first heaven is noted at Luke 10:18 that says I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. The third down from the first heaven to the earth is noted at Revelation 12:9 that says And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 

     The fourth down from the earth to the bottomless pit is noted at Revelation 20:1-3: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And finally the fifth down for the devil from the bottomless pit to the lake of fire is noted at Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Hallelujah five downs for the devil who will be on the chain gang for 1000 years and be defeated forever. Remember when the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. Tell the devil you're going to be on the chain gang for 1000 years chained with a great chain where you will be falling constantly with no bottom in a sealed bottomless pit.

Isaiah Chapter 24 Speaks About The Book Of Jeremiah

     Isaiah chapter 24 speaks about the book of Jeremiah. Isaiah chapter 24 and the book of Jeremiah both speak about the Lord Jesus burning up this present fading heavens and earth with fire and creating new heavens and a new earth. Isaiah 24:4 says The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. Jeremiah 4:28 says For thus shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. Notice how the number 4 at Isaiah 24:4 corresponds to the 4th chapter of Jeremiah at Jeremiah 4:28.

     2 Peter 3:12 describes how God will destroy the present heavens and earth by fire saying Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. When God destroys this present fading heavens and earth with fire, saved saints will not be harmed by the fire. This is because Isaiah 43:2 says  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.

     Even though  the Lord Jesus is all powerful and will destroy the present heavens and earth with fire, Jesus will be merciful and preserve His saved saints. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. 

     The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. There will be no bad thoughts, no bad memories, and best of all no devil in the kingdom of God. Revelation 21:4 says And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. When the Lord Jesus just looks at the present heavens and earth, they will dissolve and disappear by fire. Revelation 20:11 says And I saw a great white throne, and Him (Jesus) that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 

     After the Lord Jesus burns up the present heavens and earth, the Lord Jesus will create new heavens and a new earth where the saved saints will live in peace forever in the new Jerusalem. John said at Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. It won't be boring in the kingdom of God because Jesus will create many heavens to explore. Isaiah 66:22 says For as the new heavens (many heavens) and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.  

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.

Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name. 

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible Part Four: Esther To Proverbs: Learn About Casting Pur, Urim And Thummim, The Catholic Nicolaitan Deception, And Egypt, Assyria, And Israel In The Millennium

 

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 17 Speaks About The Book Of Esther

     The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books. 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah corresponds to a book of the bible. Isaiah's 66 chapters correspond to 66 books of the bible. The book of Isaiah is a miniature bible that speaks about every book of the bible. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah has at least two references to a corresponding book of the bible. This only occurs in a 1611 KJV bible that has infinite mathematical perfection to discover. Let's journey through every chapter in the book of Isaiah and a corresponding book of the bible to learn about the Word of God. 

     Isaiah chapter 17 speaks about the book of Esther. Isaiah chapter 17 and the book of Esther both speak about Haman casting Pur or lots to determine a day to destroy the Jews. Pictured above Haman cast the dice called Pur or lots on a calendar that landed on the thirteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar. Then Haman made a law to destroy the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar (March 14, 2026 on the English calendar). Esther 3:13 says And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. 

     To cast Pur means to throw lots or dice to decide a matter, believed by many in the ancient world to reveal divine will or to determine fate. Casting Pur symbolizes a moment when an individual uses a random method, such as casting lots or throwing dice to make a decision or determine an outcome, often with unforeseen spiritual consequences. After Haman cast Pur (lots or dice) and decided to destroy the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar, Esther and Mordecai learned about Haman's evil plot. When Esther told King Ahasuerus about Haman's evil plot, the king had Haman killed on the gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai the Jew. Then King Ahasuerus allowed the Jews to make a law where they could defend themselves on the thirteenth day of Adar. The Jews survived and won a great victory over Haman and their enemies.

     The casting of Pur was meant for evil, but God turned the outcome around, leading to the salvation of the Jewish people and the establishment of the festival of Purim. The Jewish festival of Purim is named Purim (meaning lots) to remember the lots that Haman cast and the subsequent victory when the Jews defeated their enemies.  

     Note the following scriptures in Isaiah and Esther that both speak about Haman casting Pur or lots. Isaiah 17:14 says And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he (Haman) is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us (Haman got killed on his own gallows built for Mordecai after he cast Pur or lots to destroy the Jews). 

     Esther 9:24 says Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy, them; But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year.

God's Blessed Way Of Using Urim And Thummim To Make Decisions

Instead Of Casting Pur Used By The Devil And Haman To Make Decisions

      The Urim and Thummim, a pair of sacred stones worn by the ancient Israelite high priest on his breastplate, are believed to have been used to determine God's will through a form of divination or casting lots, with the word Urim meaning lights and Thummim meaning perfections or truth. The Urim and Thummim were used to obtain divine guidance for national decisions before the first temple's destruction, after which they disappear from the biblical narrative. 

     The Urim and Thummim enabled the high priest to receive answers from God, especially for major decisions concerning the nation. Some traditions suggest that when consulted, certain letters on the stones would light up or protrude, forming an answer for the high priest to read. Other traditions suggest that the Urim and Thummim functioned like lots, with one being chosen or cast to give a yes or no answer to a question. The Urim and Thummim were kept in a pouch or pocket within the breastplate of the high priest's ephod, resting over his heart. The use of Urim and Thummim ceased after the Babylonian exile, and there is no record of their use after the time of King David. Revelation through prophets and other means replaced the use of the Urim and Thummim. 

     The Urim and Thummim are first mentioned in the description of the high priest's breastplate of judgment. Exodus 28:30 says And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually. 

     Joshua was instructed to receive answers through the high priest Eleazar by the Urim and Thummim when needing divine guidance for the movements of the Israelite army. Numbers 27:21 says And he (Joshua) shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. 

     Today christians are saved by grace and not subject to the letter where they have to confess their sins and get answers from a Catholic earthly priest like the ancient priests who consulted Urim and Thummim. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. The Catholics remain under the letter and request everyone to confess their sins and receive instruction from an earthly priest called a father or the pope. 

     Catholics worship Mary and call priests and the pope father. Brother Bob is not a Catholic. Brother Bob is a Christian who only worships the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 23:9 says And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. I don't have to confess my sins through a knothole to a Latin speaking, bead counting, robe wearing priest that calls himself a father, and the bird ain't even married, and to top it off he dresses like mama. 

     1 Timothy 2:5 says For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a pope or any Catholic priest). You don't have to confess your sins to a priest at a drive in Catholic confessional that says Toot and tell don't go to hell. Confess your sins to the Lord Jesus and the blood of Jesus will remove your sins. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, He (the Lord Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

     The pope and the Catholic leaders represent the Nicolaitans of modern times. Jesus hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitans and the modern traditions of the Catholic church. Throughout history the leaders of the Catholic church and the pope did not allow the common people and the farmers have access to the bible. The pope and the leaders of the Catholic church were the Nicolaitans that Jesus hated. I don't hate Catholics. I believe many Catholics today are saved and are good people but I hate the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Most Catholics are ignorant of the doctrines taught by the Catholic leaders. 

     John Wycliffe rebelled against the pope and wrote the first English bible for the common people. During a period when access to the bible was restricted by Catholic leaders, those caught reading it faced severe penalties, potentially even the forfeiture of their property. It is said that the price some people paid for the privilege of renting a Wycliffe bible for an hour of daily reading was a bale of hay (a significant payment for a farmer living near subsistence levels). After John Wycliffe died, the pope burned his bones and cast them into the river. 

     Then William Tyndale became a blessed missionary and gave Wycliffe's English bible to thousands of common people in Europe. The pope tracked down William Tyndale and burned Tyndale at the stake. The last words of William Tyndale were "Lord open the king of England's eyes." Within a year afterwards, a bible was placed in every parish church by the king's command. The Catholic leaders wanted the common people to be ignorant about the bible in order to control the people and their money. This happened during the church of Thyatira where there was continual sacrifice to the pope and Mary by the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages that lasted for 1000 years from 500 AD to 1500 AD.

Isaiah Chapter 18 Speaks About The Book Of Job

      Isaiah chapter 18 speaks about the book of Job. Isaiah chapter 18 and the book of Job both speak about how the Lord Jesus has power over everything in nature. The Lord Jesus causes the flowers to bud, the herbs to heal, and the dew to refresh the earth every morning. Isaiah 18:4 says For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. 

     Job 38:25 says Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

The Lord Jesus Has Power Over Everything In Nature

Jesus Said Peace, Be Still And Calmed The Storms And The Winds

      Mark 4:35 says And the same day, when the even was come, He (Jesus) saith unto them (the disciples), Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was in the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 

     And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto Him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

     After Jesus said Peace be still to the storm, the raging waves laid down like sleeping dogs at Jesus' feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sleep. Also the dark clouds rolled back and curled away like a scroll in the sky, the birds began to sing, and the trees were waving Hallelujah on both sides of the banks of the Sea of Galilee.

     Proverbs 30:4 says Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou cast tell? Proverbs 30:4 tells us that the Lord Jesus hath gathered the wind in His fists. In other words Jesus can hold the wind fast in His fists or let the wind loose by just opening His fists. What a powerful God the Lord Jesus is who can stop a tornado or cyclone by just gathering the wind in his fists. 

Get Saved And Receive The Peace Of Jesus 

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning, 

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again 

Isaiah Chapter 19 Speaks About The Book Of Psalms

      Isaiah chapter 19 speaks about the book of Psalms. Isaiah chapter 19 and the book of Psalms both speak about peace during the millennium in the nations of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel after the Lord Jesus defeats the Assyrian beast antichrist at Armageddon. During the thousand year millennium after Jesus defeats the Assyrian beast Antichrist, wars on this earth will end and Egypt, Assyria, Israel, and all nations will be blessed with peace for 1000 years. 

     Isaiah 19:21-25 describes this blessing. And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. And the Lord shall smite Egypt: He shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and He shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. In that day shall there be a highway (of holiness) out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

     King Jesus will bring peace to this earth for 1000 years. Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will be at peace. The prophecy at Isaiah 2:4 will occur. And He (the Lord Jesus) shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

     When the Lord Jesus is King of this earth during the millennium, every nation will have to keep the feast of tabernacles from year to year. If a nation does not come up to Jerusalem at Mount Zion once every year to worship King Jesus, that nation will be plagued with no rain and the Lord Jesus will smite these heathens.

     Zechariah 14:16 says And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem (unsaved sinners that survived the tribulation who lived off the grid without taking the mark of the beast and went into the millennium) shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts (Jesus), and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

     Psalm 116:8 speaks about how Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will have peace during the millennium if they keep the feast of tabernacles every year and worship the Lord Jesus at Jerusalem. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. Psalm 116:14 says I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Psalm 116:17 says I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.   

Isaiah Chapter 20 Speaks About The Book Of Proverbs

     Isaiah chapter 20 speaks about the book of Proverbs. Isaiah chapter 20 and the book of Proverbs explain the difference between trusting in man and trusting in the Lord Jesus. God told Isaiah to walk naked and barefoot for three years as a sign of impending judgment and shame for Israel because the Jews trusted in earthly help from Egypt and Ethiopia instead of trusting in the Lord. 

     Isaiah 20:2 says At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia: So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape? 

     The book of Proverbs tells us to trust in the Lord Jesus instead of the worldly help of man in Egypt and Ethiopia. Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel (calm your nerves), and marrow to thy bones (like a refreshing cup of cold water). Proverbs 3:23 says Then shalt thou walk in the way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

     It's better to trust in the Lord Jesus than any earthly help from man. The very center verse of the KJV Bible is Psalm 118:8 that says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It's amazing that only in a King James bible will you discover that the two middle words of the bible at Psalm 118:8 are the Lord. Also there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. 594+594=1188-118:8 is the middle verse of the bible.
