EPISODE 2
We continue to show you the principles of Reciprocity, Redistribution, and Vertical Control (how the Spiritual Power that comes from God works in the material world).
ISAI'AH 8:9 ...BE BROKEN, you PEOPLES, and BE DISMAYED; GIVE EAR all you FAR COUNTRIES; GIRD yourselves and BE DISMAYED. Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, but IT WILL BE THWARTED; propose YOUR PLAN, but IT WILL NOT STAND, for GOD IS WITH US (only God's plans and purposes will last).
For the LORD SPOKE thus TO ME with his STRONG HAND UPON ME, and WARNED me NOT TO WALK in THE WAY OF THIS PEOPLE, saying: " DO NOT CALL CONSPIRACY ALL THAT THIS PEOPLE CALL CONSPIRACY, and DO NOT FEAR WHAT THEY FEAR, and DO NOT DREAD IT. But the LORD of HOSTS, HIM YOU SHALL REGARD AS HOLY;
LET HIM BE YOUR FEAR, and LET HIM BE YOUR DREAD. And HE WILL BECOME A SANCTUARY, and A STONE OF OFFENCE, and A ROCK OF STUMBLING TO BOTH HOUSES OF ISRAEL, a TRAP and a SNARE to the INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM. And many shall stumble thereon; they shall FALL and BE BROKEN; they shall be SNARED and TAKEN."
BIND UP the TESTIMONY and SEAL UP the LAW among MY DISCIPLES. I will WAIT for the LORD, who is HIDING his FACE FROM the house of JACOB and I will HOPE IN HIM.
Behold, I AND the CHILDREN whom the LORD HAS GIVEN ME ARE SIGNS AND PORTENTS IN ISRAEL FROM the LORD OF HOSTS, WHO DWELLS ON MOUNT ZION.
And when MEN tell you, "CONSULT the MEDIUMS and the WIZARDS who chirp (whisper) and mutter," SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE INQUIRE OF THEIR GOD? SHOULD THEY CONSULT the DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING? To the LAW (teaching) and to the TESTIMONY!
Surely for THIS WORD WHICH THEY SPEAK THERE IS NO DAWN. THEY will PASS through THE LAND, greatly DISTRESSED and HUNGRY; and when they are hungry, they will be ENRAGED and WILL CURSE their king and THEIR GOD, and TURN their FACES UPWARD; and they WILL LOOK to the EARTH, but behold, DISTRESS and DARKNESS, the gloom of ANGUISH; and THEY WILL BE THRUST IN THICK DARKNESS.
Isaiah9...But THERE WILL BE NO GLOOM FOR HER (The Spiritual Israel, the People of God) THAT WAS IN ANGUISH (for those who were in distress). In the FORMER TIME HE BROUGHT into CONTEMPT the land of ZEBULUM (the sixth son of Jacob's wife Leah. Being the less-loved wife, she was especially pleased about the birth of the boy. The name she gave him reflected the hope that her standing with Jacob would be enhanced) AND the land of NAPH'TALI (the second son born to Jacob by Rachel's maidservant Bilhah in Paddan-Aram. Since Bilhah had substituted for her mistress Rachel, Naph'tali, like his older full brother Dan, was considered by barren Rachel as her own son. Rachel was elated over her success in getting a second son through Bilhah and exclaimed: "With strenuous wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister. I have also come off winner." the name given to his son, "Naph'tali"(my wrestlings) espressed Rachel's feelings at the time of his birth), BUT IN THE LATTER TIME HE WILL MAKE GLORIOUS THE WAY OF THE SEA, the LAND BEYOND the JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE NATIONS (Galilee of the Gentiles).
The PEOPLE who walked IN DARKNESS have SEEN A GREAT LIGHT; THOSE who dwelt IN A LAND OF DEEP DARKNESS in the land of the shadow of death) ON THEM HAS LIGHT SHINED. YOU have MULTIPLIED the NATION (Spiritual Israel), YOU have INCREASED its JOY; they REJOICE BEFORE YOU as WITH JOY AT the HARVEST, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For the YOKE OF HIS BURDEN, and the STAFF FOR HIS SHOULDER, the ROD OF HIS OPPRESSOR, YOU HAVE BROKEN AS ON THE DAY OF MID'IAN.
For EVERY BOOT of the TRAMPING WARRIOR in battle TUMULT and EVERY GARMENT rolled in blood WILL BE BURNED AS FUEL FOR THE FIRE.
For TO US A CHILD IS BORN, TO US A SON IS GIVEN; AND the GOVERNMENT WILL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER, AND HIS NAME will be called "WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE." Isaiah 9: 1-6.
