THE BOOK OF THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION

ISAIAH CHAPTER 62:1-12

MEDIA REFERENCE NUMBER WNX727 FEBRUARY 13, 2019

THE TITLE OF THE MESSAGE: “Arriving” Discovering the Salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Prophecies of Isaiah

By “Arriving” I mean “succession” or “waves” of events and fulfillments of Prophecy that make up over ¼ (27%) of the Bible’s content.

Isaiah chapters 60 and 61 we saw that they revealed to us a chronology that is divinely ordered.

According to the Bible, Time and Eternity Belong to God’s Sovereign Preview.

And in those 2 chapters we learned (1) That there would be a coming glory to (while under occupation) of her promised Messiah into the world and by so doing, fulfilled many of the ancient prophecies in the Bible. (2) Also, in perfect chronological order – we saw the opening arguments regarding the 7 year tribulation period that was promised to Israel. (3) We saw the great and terrible judgment and wrath coming at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to earth in power. (4) His Kingdom Reign His Governance will be established on earth, in Israel, from .

Now from chapter 62 to chapter 66, we look to the ultimate fulfillment of the kingdom age and all of its benefits. We will also see what God has in store for the promised land and for the Jew.

The Bible Says – God is not Finished with the Jews or the Land of Israel ( this is true – no matter what your teacher says, what your professor says, what the UN says, or what your Muslim friends have to say about Israel )

1 “The Jews constitute but one percent of the human race, properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but the Jew remains. What is the secret of the Jews immortality?” Mark Twain

Name an Empire – Any Empire And put them up against the longevity of the Jew (Israel)

Arriving 1.) Is God’s ultimate fulfillment regarding vs. 1

1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

Arriving 2.) Is God’s long awaited purpose for Israel vs. 2-3

2 The Gentiles (Nations) shall see your (Israel’s) righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name. 3 You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

To no other people group, no other nation, and no other ethnicity does the Bible address as God does the Jews Deuteronomy 28

Arriving 3.) Is God’s idea of border security vs. 4

4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called , (City of God’s Delight) and your land Beulah; (Bride of God) for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. 2

The LORD in Creation. His love for His Land – The Land of Promise.

Why is it called “The Real Promised Land?” ( something that non-believers cannot believe )

Arriving 4.) Is God’s delight over His Jewish people vs. 5

5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you (Jerusalem-Israel); and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

Romans 11:1,25-27 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of , of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew, :25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from ; 27 For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

The Jews Culture Regarding Marriage. The arrangement / The engagement / The preparation / The announcement / The coming / The marriage / The reception / The Yihud (seclusion) which also includes a 7-day retreat from the crowd and the noise of the celebration.

Isaiah 26:20-21 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. 21 For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;

3 Arriving 5.) Is God’s witnesses to the truth vs. 6-10

6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, 7 and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

The Watchmen are God’s Ministers. Note their behavior;

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem They are in position, on the wall. meaning that they are preoccupied with the will of God they shall never hold their peace day or night. They can’t keep quiet. They are alert, meaning that they have a keen sense of what is right and wrong.

Verse 8-9 8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength: “Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored. 9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; those who have brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.”

Verse 10 10 Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples!

The Israel of Today, By and Large, is in a state of unbelief. If we understand the Ezekiel correctly, Israel’s present-day economic wealth and intellectual advancements will ultimately fall into the hands of the Antichrist.

4 Arriving 6.) Is God’s faithfulness to His word vs. 11-12

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’ ” 12 And they shall call them The Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.

This is God’s word against the words of man.
