EXPLICIT BIBLE TRUTH
Jesus
Who is he
What is he
Why is he
John 5:21 “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.
John 5:22 “For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,
John 5:23 in order that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him, Matthew 16:16-17.
Believers in Christ!
John 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death (eternal death) into life (eternal),
Old Testament and tribulation Believers!
John 5:25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, (1st resurrection) when the dead (Corpses) shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live, (Daniel 12:1-2, N.A.S.B).
John 5:26 “For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;
John 5:27 and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
Resurrection of the balance of mankind!
John 5:28 “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice,
John 5:29 and shall come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment, (Revelation 20:6,12).
Satan’s Error!
The Book of Isaiah was probably written around 700 B.C before the book of Jeremiah and before the Book of Daniel as Daniel made a reference to the book of Jeremiah, Daniel 9:2.
This is a prophecy concerning the restoration of Jacob and Israel to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob which will be expanded from its present borders to include western Saudi Arabia, and Iraq to the Euphrates river, 2/3rds of Syria and all of Lebanon, and Egypt to the Nile river and part of Turkey. It will be extremely fertile, a very great bread basket.
Post, After Armageddon!
Isaiah 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land (Israel): and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Strangers here are living gentile survivors from the areas, locations of the dispersions having survived Armageddon with this particular time being the dispersion of Judah, the southern kingdom from the split union of Israel and Judah, to Babylon.
House of Jacob will be the entire remnant of the 12 tribes.
Jacob here is the sons and offspring of the 12 tribes of Jacob also called the 12 tribes of Israel as the name of Jacob was changed to Israel after his encounter with God, Genesis 32:28-30.
Choose Israel is a reference to the chosen of Jacob who are called Israel in the context of Romans 9:6-8 and Romans chapter 11 for clarification on this issue!
Zechariah 8:20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
Zechariah 8:21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
Zechariah 8:22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Isaiah 14:2 And the people (gentiles) shall take them (the dispersed of Israel), and bring them to their place (Israel): and the house of Israel shall possess them (gentiles) in the land of the LORD (Israel) for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Isaiah 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee (the house of Israel) rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Isaiah 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Satan in prison, post, after Armageddon!
Revelation 20:1-3!
Isaiah 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
It is important to understand here that much of Satan’s dirty work is done by the âSons of Disobedienceâ who are men and women who do their work under the influence of the spirit of the prince of darkness whose spirit their spirit is patterned after. Many of these people are in high places and have much influence in world affairs! After the Rapture of the Church the Holy Spirit and the âSons of Lightâ will have no influence in world affairs and things will go from very bad to much worse in a 7 year period of time.
Ephesians 2:1 And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
Ephesians 2:2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
KJV
Isaiah 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers (plural form).
Isaiah 14:6 He (he is a singular pronoun, Satan) who smote the people (Israel) in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations (gentiles) in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
He here is probably correct as in the LXX which is a singular masculine pronoun (he that ruled the nations)
NASB
Isaiah 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
Isaiah 14:6 Which used to strike the peoples (Israel) in fury with unceasing strokes, Which subdued the nations (gentiles) in anger with unrestrained persecution.
The Kingdom of Heaven!
Isaiah 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
This will be after Armageddon with the majority of the earth population being dead but with lots of available housing and impoverished inhabitants with new home building, industry and palaces not being required. These people will have the means to survive and even rejoice.
Isaiah 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Isaiah 14:9 Hell (Hell here should be Sheol, Hades, the abyss Rev. 20:1-3, Satan’s 1000 year prison) from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
The kings mentioned here are probably the heads of the beast of Revelation 17:3, please read Rev context for clarification.
From beneath here is the lower parts of the Earth called Hades, Tartarus, the Abyss, Sheol which are prisons for the unredeemed dead. Their final destination will be the âGreat White Throneâ judgment and then Hell, the âLake of Fireâ.
Isaiah 14:10 All they shall (future tense) speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
This is all preliminary beginning with human servants of Satan called âSons of Disobedienceâ and leading us to Isaiah 14:12 who was Lucifer and is now Satan.
In this prophecy Lucifer has become like the humans he ruled over which is powerless and in the grave, Prison, Isaiah 14:14.
Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols (Harps): the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
This is not Hell, the lake of fire but the lower parts of planet earth which are specifically called Tartarus, Hades, the Abyss. Satan will not be cast into Hell, the âLake of Fireâ until Revelation 20:10.
Lucifer!
Isaiah 14:12 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!
God made Lucifer meaning the light bearer, the anointed Cherub that covers, Son of the Morning.
Lucifer made Satin meaning the enemy when he was self corrupted, blind sided by his own beauty, he trampled on his wisdom meaning his ego overrode his common sense, Ezekiel 28:12-19.
His beauty probably includes his enormous talents such as âPrince of the powers of the Airâ.
If we use a campfire to stay warm that is good but if we use that same campfire to light a forest on fire that is evil. God gave Lucifer these talents for good but Satan lit the forest on fire, so to speak.
Lucifer had volition and intellect just like mankind, he was not a Robot. He was completely aware of what he was doing though possibly not completely informed meaning you cannot get there from here. Lucifer’s action appears to be a grievous miscalculation. Had he followed righteousness and not self indulgence this could all have been avoided. We do not have to understand the consequences of disobedience to righteousness as obedience makes us compliant but now we are learning both.
Computers are Robots. They have operating systems like Microsoft or Apple or IBM etc.; with programs that work inside the operating system and enable those computers to respond to certain instructions, commands to retrieve or write data from or to memory or output devises such as a printer or from input devises such as keyboards. Computers do not have volition, self will and they only follow programming making it impossible for them to sin. In Sci-fi even bad computers do as they are instructed. Generally, computers suffer from malicious software through no fault of their own with their malfunctions coming from bad instructions. We don’t blame the computer but merely repair it and move on.
This event is a prophecy and will probably not occur until Revelations 12:10 beginning the âGreat Tribulationâ lasting 3.5 years when Satan and his Angels are cast out of the Presence of God by Michael one of the Great Princes who is an Arch Angel who confines Satan and his evil Angels to Planet Earth.
This is post Rapture and in effect the Church, the âBody of Christâ will be changing places with Satan and his angels in compliance with and bringing a foreknown predetermined plan of God to completion.
Arch Angels are probably the highest in rank which is possibly 8th and perhaps the most powerful of the âHost of Heavenâ. The Angel of the Lord is probably the most powerful of all and always has a very dramatic effect on those He makes contact with. The Arch Angles are of the 2/3rds of the Host of Heaven, Angels loyal to God also called Elect Angels.
Cherubs, of which Satan is one with others being loyal to God are awesome creatures in stature and power and are not fat little decorations at weddings.
Seraphs have six wings and yes, they do fly and no, I have never seen one. Many of the Host of Heaven are identified as men in Scripture having no wings. The focus of Scripture is not on the attributes of Angels but on the prophecy and advents of the Lord Jesus Christ together with the settings, epics of God’s Elect and assorted ethnic peoples.
Tinker bell is a figment of someones imagination. The 1/3rd of the Angels not loyal to God will be judged by the redeemed of mankind who are their replacements but are not Angels and cast them into Hell, the Lake of Fire.
Isaiah 14:13 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 also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Stars of God in this context are Elect angels of God as he, Satan already rules over the evil Angels.
Some teach that Satan here is projecting himself as the replacement for God the Father.
I believe that he, Satan is actually trying to take the place of Jesus Christ gaining authority over Planet Earth and the Heavenlies with God’s blessing which he has already usurped and is now arguing his case before the Throne of God in the 3rd heaven.
Apparently Satan’s argument here is that God’s plan of Grace is not working as redeemed mankind are still sinning and that he, Satan has a substitute plan such as Sharia Law.
In the âKingdom of Heavenâ there will be sinners and they will be under the penalty of death for sinning as measured by the ten commandments. During the âKingdom of Heavenâ both new and old testament saints will be in resurrected body’s and will be 100% righteous with sinners coming from those being born from natural Adamic process who are survivors of the separation of the âSheep and Goatâ judgment and are 100% human, Matthew 25:31-32 see context.
As you know while believers are in the flesh from Adam that we struggle and sometimes fail to keep God’s commandments but He, God has provided for us 1John 1:8-10 for forgiveness and cleansing returning us to walking with the Lord making us useful vessels in the house of the Lord, 2Timothy 2:20-22, getting us a well done and making us fit for responsible positions in eternity future which is a Grace provision under the blood of âThe Lamb of Godâ with those not covered by the âBlood of the Lambâ having no protection.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for (Satan) the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Satan chooses himself!
Isaiah 14:13 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 also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
God’s Choice!
Hebrews 1:1 In many ways and in various ways of old, God spoke to the fathers in the prophets;
Hebrews 1:2 in these last days He spoke to us in the Son, whom He appointed heir of all; through whom He indeed made the ages;
Hebrews 1:3 who being the shining splendor of His glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, having made purification of our sins through Himself, He sat down on the right of the Majesty on high, (position of authority) Psalm 110:1
Hebrews 1:4 having become so much better than the angels, He has inherited a name more excellent than they.
Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, “You are My Son; today I have begotten You”? And again, “I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me.” Psalm 2:7
Isaiah 14:13 For thou (Satan) hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Like the Most High!
Philippians 2:5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Philippians 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
Philippians 2:8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;
Philippians 2:10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,
This will occur after Jesus Christ as the âWord of Godâ takes possession of planet Earth and He is sitting on the throne of the world in Jerusalem as the âSon of Davidâ when the very mention of His name âJesusâ will cause such responses as all will know Him and what that name means.
Things under the earth which are in Hades, Sheol, will probably bend the knee at the “Great White Throne” judgment.
Philippians 2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Isaiah 14:15 Yet thou (Satan) shalt be brought down to hell (not Hell but the abyss, prison), to the sides of the pit.
Hades is also a prison for the unredeemed dead who will be released for judgment at the âGreat White Throne judgmentâ and then cast into Hell, the âLake of Fireâ.
Isaiah 14:16 They that see thee shall (future tense) narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Man here is probably the Head of the Beast of the âRevived Roman Empireâ who is a human equivalent of Satan and even Satan himself who takes over his body after his deadly head wound, Revelation 13:2-4.
Isaiah 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Isaiah 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Isaiah 14:19 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.
An abominable branch is probably the False Prophet who is called a branch because he is a Jew and is of the line of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Israel will receive him as their Messiah and in the middle of the 70th week he will turn on them trying to force them to worship the Beast of the âRevived Roman Empireâ as God, Matthew 24:14-16.
In the resultant conflict 2/3rds of the Jews in the land of Israel will be slaughtered, Zachariah 13:8-9.
Isaiah 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, Revelation 19:20, 20:10, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers (Sons of Disobedience) shall never be renowned (not remembered).
Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter (Armageddon, the final War) for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land (Israel), nor fill the face of the world with cities (the stated plan, objective of Islam).
The objective of the ungodly here is earth dominion and the major powers will meet at Armageddon to decide who will have World dominion. It is at this time that Christ will attack with His armies and there will be blood to the horses bridle in the valley of decision. There will probably be survivors here as the wise will opt to retreat and hide, Revelation 6:14-17.
Isaiah 14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern (Hedgehog), and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom (broom) of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Isaiah 14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them (Israel), and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Isaiah 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Isaiah 14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Isaiah 14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
KJV
Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken (Israel): for out of the serpent’s root (probably Satan) shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
ASV
Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken (Israel); for out of the serpent’s root (probably Satan) shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
Philistia is a reference to the Philistines who were defeated and displaced by the armies of Israel.
Fiery flying serpent is most probably a reference to Revelation chapter 9. The symbolism here probably represents very lethal, deadly machines with possible germ, chemical, pyrotechnic, and military ordinance with atomic weapons.
Adder, possibly European is a very poisonous snake and is probably a reference to the Beast, the head of the âRevived Roman Empireâ whose mentor, progenitor, councilor, teacher is Satan, Revelation 13:3.
Isaiah 14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety(Israeli’s): and I will kill thy root with famine, and he (Christ) shall slay thy remnant, (Armageddon).
Isaiah 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north (Probably Rome) a smoke, and none shall be alone (all nations) in his appointed times.
Isaiah 14:32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation (Israel)? That the LORD hath founded Zion (Jerusalem), and the poor, afflicted of his people shall trust, seek refuge in it.
Messengers here are Jewish messengers, prophets such as Isaiash, to the dispersed of Israel who are living in foreign lands.
