Isaiah 11-13
2 Sam 7 Davidic covenant with God.
The Messiah would come from his line, and there would Forever be a remnant on the throne.
The problem with this from the perspective of the Jew.
Was that following the fall of Judah to Babylon under a King named Zedekiah in 586-587 BC, there was a break in the Davidic line of Kings was broken and remained broken for about 600 years.
SO in the eyes of the Jews, the promise was over…Isaiah is saying…this family tree only looks dead, but life will come from it.
When Jesus is born into the world.
This is a Messianic verse of the promised Messiah, Jesus, but it is also an important verse for a couple of other reasons.
One, it explains a very difficult verse in the new testament.
The book of Revelation, or the Revelation of Jesus Christ, begins with this greeting from the Trinity.
Rev 1:4-5
Ok, I understand the Father and the Son, but what is the deal with the seven Spirits, in speaking of the Holy Spirit?
Lets look at verse two again…Isa 11:2
We also see seven candles in the Jewish menorah that is designed to represent the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord, as His primary job is to testify of Jesus.
This is why there are two important ways to recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit.
He inspired the Bible, He won’t contradict Scripture.
Secondly, since He is the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Jesus, He will never violate the nature of Jesus that we see revealed to us in the Gospels.
So is this you Lord, is the Spirit leading me?
Does is contradict the Written Word of God?
If is does, it’s not the Holy Spirit.
Does it contradict the Living Word?
What we would see in Jesus?
Then it is not the Holy Spirit.
Check this out as Paul talks about the Antichrist in 2 Thes chapter 2, 2 Thessalonians 2:8
Paul gets this from the Prophet Isaiah.
Jesus will return to judge the earth and will rule and reign, and although He won’t win the popular vote, nor the electoral college, He will take power over all of the land.
And the government will be on His shoulders and listen what it will be like, for a 1,000 years.
It is important that we remember and perhaps you’re getting sick of hearing it, but often times when we are reading through Bible prophecy we need to be mindful of a number of things.
First to who was it written, what is the context in which it was given, and then to remember that often there was both a near fulfillment of the prophecy and also a far, or distant future fulfillment of the prophecy.
So as we read these prophecies given to Israel the near fulfillment would be something that they would see.
Whether good news or bad news it would remind them that God is in control.
Even these prophecies about destruction, remember the Assyrians were the world power at the time this was written and they ultimately would be basically wiped out by the Assyrians, and then later again by the Babylonians, but God is saying I’ll preserve my remnant.
This is happening right now, but you’re going to make it, repent and follow me.
Now those things that had a near fulfillment, we can look back on now that they have occurred and see, oh wow, God told them this, or warned of that.
This was obviously the fulfillment of that, why didn’t that stiff-necked people obey Him, later, why didn’t they recognize Jesus as their Messiah that they had been looking for all along?
Looking back things seem so clear, and so easy to see after it has all been revealed and we can trace that line of prophecy on through fulfillment of prophecy.
But when things are still future, the picture is not always as clear.
We know from the scriptures how it ends, that every knee will bow, and every tongue, even the politicians will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Even though currently the god of this world has blinded them.
Some of you were with us for our study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and that book lays it out for us.
We see the future destruction of Babylon, the world system of Babylon or an economic system that effects the merchants of the world, but also it appears the city of Babylon, difficult to fully understand how that will occur looking forward Cyrus the II conquered Babylon in 539 BC as he lead the Persians, Alexander the Great had plans to rebuild, but it never happened as he died in that city.
There were actually plans to rebuild the city during some of our lifetimes...Babylon today, located 55 miles (85 kilometers) south of Baghdad in Iraq, feeble attempt at recreation by Saddam Hussein in the 1970s that's been partially destroyed by decades of war.
We know though because of Biblical prophecy we will see the destruction of Babylon, we will see the Battle of Armageddon.
Well, not me, I’ll be gone in the rapture.
But then we have the second coming of Christ the Anti Christ will be destroyed and Jesus will set up His kingdom on the earth, Satan will be bound and removed for 1,000 years as Jesus rules and reigns upon the earth for the 1,000 millennium, at time of perfect peace and justice.
After the 1,000 years Satan will be let out for a short time, due to free will people will get to chose who they want to follow, Satan will deceive many, and then the final judgement will come.
The heavens and the earth will come to an end, and will melt away and be gone, and then a new Heaven and a new Earth.
So some of these prophecies are talking about things of the past now, that have already occurred and some are still future for those living in our day as we have not yet seen them come to pass.
Have we seen this prophecy fulfilled?
I mean we have the rule of law in the U.S. right?
Hiking bear, Grizzly man, shark week...Was out there today with my pup and friend.
Unfortunately, had to turn around at the left of the sign for the Catherine Mountain trail.
We got to the left of the intersection (10 yards up) and the dog was in front of me, saw bear scat, but then encountered extremely intense growling.
My friend thought I was going nuts, so he went back and he too was growled at.
We are thinking there is a den to the right of that trail.
We are very careful, in fact in almost a dozen years as a church, we have never let cobra’s loose in the children’s ministry area.
No matter where you are on the earth, all the people will have a knowledge of Him and will be talking about Jesus.
Isa 11:10-13
There will once again be complete unity in Israel.
Isa 11:14-16
God will miraculously make a way for them to return.
Chapter 12 is just a song of praise that was sung at the return and will still be sung in the future fulfillment.
Isa 12 Also will be sung on the day Jesus is reigning.
Chapter 13 begins a section that goes on for about 10 chapters where God specifically addresses the nations around Israel.
verse 1 Isa 13:1
This is interesting, because I’m not sure that a scribe ever delivered a copy of the prophecy of Isaiah to the city of Babylon, so why would God address these other nations?
If it wasn’t like a Jonah situation, I want you to go and tell the city of Nineveh to repent or they would be destroyed, why address the nations if it wasn’t a warning to them?
I think it was all for His people Israel and in a sense for us today.
Remember, the Assyrians, the Babylonians are quite literally kicking their butts.
I think the first reason is to show Israel that God is not just sovereign over them, but over all things including the nations that don’t follow Him.
They may have been being used as a tool against Israel, but they are still under the control of God.
When He says come they will come, but when He says stop, it will be finished.
There is something also reassuring, about your big brother, or in this case, their Heavenly Father showing up when a bully is kicking their butt, and God is essentially saying, I got this, and Babylon is going to get theirs, check out what I’m going to do to them.
I think it is for us as well as a reminder that no matter what our world looks like today.
Thirty years ago we were concerned about Russia, we were concerned about Iran.
Today, it’s China, it’s still Russia, North Korea…Oh wait those are U.S. conflicts.
As Christians in the U.S., in Ukraine, in Russia, in China, or the middle east, we need to be reminded and see that although we have a real enemy that wants to kill, destroy, and steal.
An enemy that wants to divide us, and enemy that wants to break apart our marriages, an enemy that wants to steal our hope, God is sovereign and is in control.
Isa 13:2-5
Should remind you of Revelation 17 & 18 the fall of Babylon.
When the prophecy was given the Assyrians were the world power.
The Babylonians paled by far in comparison.
They were a growing force, but they would not have been a threat.
Remember the ministry of Isaiah ended about a hundred years before the fall of Judah to the Babylonians.
Now in verse 9 we see that transition were it appears that the prophecy is once again speaking of a far, far still yet future fulfillment.
Isa 13:9-12
Verse 17 goes back to the near fulfillment.
Isa 13:17
The Meade's that joined with the Persians were nothing at the time of this writing.
We can look back now and see, but looking ahead to them, it must have sounded confusing.
But looking back in the days of Daniel and King Belshazzar it was the Mead's and the Persians that overtook Babylon.
It is interesting because in the 1970’s when Saddam Hussein build his place and made his failed attempt to rebuild Babylon, his goal was to make himself like a modern day Nebuchadnezzar and unite the Arab's, and that didn’t happen.
With Babylon being Israel's enemy, their destruction is a form of God showing His mercy on Israel which is where chapter 14 picks up.
