(Post #22) New World Order - Of Anti-Christ Following



Hypothetical Rendering
Deceiving Wolves - (Men of Scorn – Secret Followers of the Anti-Christ)"Theocratic Terrorist" Biding For A New World Order
ISAIAH 28:15 “’Because you [men of scorn - figuratively, indeed, of the site where the Lord of us was killed] have said, ‘We [having taken refuge in Jehovah- are in truth the deceitful “wolves” within the midst of the deceived- - we, the deceivers] have cut a covenant with death [via the Lamb of God, who had left his soul as a “guilt offering”- allowing for our full vindication as sanctioned warriors of the divine wrath], and with Sheol [the grave] have made a [prophetic] vision [as ones having the ability to anticipate future events and developments of the will of God- to successfully user in the "New World" revealed in the vision of God], the overwhelming whip [that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday] when it passes through [when we make our final move] not it shall come to us [for as a secret underground organization our plans and deeds are hidden from the eyes of the common man whom we will forcefully rule upon], for we have made the lie [the deliberate saying of untruths] our refuge [in a conscious effort to deceive], and in falsehood [this sort of deceitful security] we have hidden [safely from detection from the sight of man and the outstretched arm of the law].’”
Verse 16 “Therefore, thus says the Lord Jehovah, ‘Behold, I lay a stone in Zion [the living testimony of the word of divine truth], a tried stone [of solid strength and security], a precious cornerstone [the crown of the whole building], a foundation founded [one of invincible security]; he who believes shall not hurry [to shed innocent blood]. And I will put justice for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and hail [the weaponry of divine judgment] shall sweep away the refuge of the lie [your deceitful refuge of impunity]; and the waters [of retributive judgment] shall overflow the hiding place [of its shelter]. And will be covered [made amends for] your covenant with death and your vision with Sheol will not arise [to irrigate your plantings of a New World Order]. When the overwhelming whip [of divine retribution] passes through, then you shall be to it for a trampling [but- wave after wave it will passing over you]. As often as it passes, it shall take you; for in the morning [is shall pass on you], in the morning it shall pass [on your offspring]. In the day and in the night [a universal hour] and it shall be only a terror to discern the message.’”

(Post #21) Armageddon


Barnes Commentary.- Deeply sensible that there is great danger of erring here, and that the above view may be viewed as mere conjecture, I cannot, however, help regarding it as the true exposition.
“And I will set among them a sign and I will send from them those who escape to the nations.” According to the interpretation suggested above, this refers to the portion of the Israelites (the posterity of Jacob) that should escape from the tokens of the Divine displeasure…a remnant would be saved. Of that remnant, God would send a portion to make His name known to those who had not heard it, and they would lead distant nations t others knowledge of His truth.

ARMAGEDDONProclamation of War on Terrorism
ISAIAH 30:25-26 “And shall be on every high mountain and on every lifted up hill, rivulets, steams of [reviving] water [of retributive measures of justice] in a day of great slaying [when human aspirations go beyond the limits of the law, in the day of great slaying] when towers fall. And the [reflected] moon light [of armed defensive combat necessitated through right and justifiable measure] shall be like the light of the sun [the law of the land in its going forth]; and the sun’s light [of divinely sanctioned retributive judgment upon the rebels- to re-establish the age old foundations] shall be sevenfold [in perfection of divine vengeance of the Almighty], as the light of seven days [when the prophecies are accomplished and has been summoned a bird of prey from a far off land to fulfill the purposes of Jehovah], in the day of Jehovah binding up the [violent] break of His people [through the forceful entry made upon them by foreign invasion], and the wound of His blow [the severe chastisement manifest in the bondage and captivity of His people He] heals.”
Henry Commentary (Paraphrased).- That some of the Israelite nation should, by the grace of God, be distinguished from the rest, and marked for salvation: I will not only set up a gathering ensign among them, to which the Gentiles shall seek, but there shall be those among them on whom I will set a differencing (distinguishing) sign; for so the word signifies. God will set apart a remnant of them, that shall be devoted to Him and employed for Him, and a mark shall be set upon them, with such certainty will God own them.
Note, those who themselves have escaped the wrath to come should do all they can to snatch others also as brands out of the burning. God chooses to send those on His errands that can deliver their message feelingly and experimentally, and warn people of their danger as those who have themselves narrowly escaped the danger.

(Post #20) A Sign



Isaiah 66:19 “And I (God) will set among them a sign and I will send from them those who escape [“from the tokens of the divine displeasure”] to the nations…”
Barnes Commentary.- A Sign. The word used here, and translated sign- means a flag, or a standard; a memorial, or any pledge, token or proof of a Divine mission, or a miracle wrought in attestation of a Divine promise or message. It was customary for miracles or prodigies (grave or serious prophetic events) to be exhibited on similar occasions.
What is its meaning here is to be determined by the connection. That would seem to me to require some such interpretation as this: That when God should come to take vengeance on His foes, and to manifest His glory, He would establish some mark or memorial; would erect some standard or give some signal, by which His true friends would escape, and that He would send them to distant nations to proclaim His truth and gather together those who had not seen His glory. What that sign should be, He does not here say. Whether a standard, a secret communication, or some intimation beforehand, by which they should know the approaching danger and make their escape, is not declared. It is by no means easy to determine with certainty on this passage; and it certainly become no one to speak dogmatically (inflexibly) or very confidently. The heavy judgments referred to may have been the impending calamities over Jerusalem.
{Study Notes} "The glory of God referred to, may have been the signal manifestation of His perfections at that period in the approaching destruction of the city, and in the wonders that attended the “manifestation” of the Messiah (the “Mighty God”)."

Barnes Commentary.- By these warnings and previous intimations they were to be preserved. The sign was “among them,” i.e., in the very midst of the nation; and the object of the intimation was, to secure their safety, and the speedy propagation (broadcast or circulation) of the true religion among them.
