The Voice Who Calls Out
****Isa.40:3 The voice of one who calls out, "Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. 40:5 The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
The wisest of all Kings once said, what had been made crooked could not be made straight. Since mankind has been upon earth he has defied what God has stated as truth trying with every type of government, religion, business, and technology to make straight what has been made crooked from sin.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way that they don't know. I will lead them in paths that they don't know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
But here is God's message to Isaiah; all flesh shall see that mankind's crooked ways are as nothing before the mouth of Yahweh, nothing carefully concealed with not become known, no hidden agenda, or lying scheme will not become level, even with true justice, and what has been made low because of the oppression of mankind justice will become exalted.
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.
Philippians 2:15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
The question is for God's people whom has done this strange work among the nations? What is flesh, what is fleshes ability to make straight that which has been made crooked? Moreover, why is this the message, and instead rejoicing in what good mankind has done? Why no mention of mankind's glory before the mouth of YHWH? Here God speaks no flattery just as did all his prophets stating the truth of our ways.
Proverbs 6:24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness).
Daniel 11:32 Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
God's people thought they had known God's ways, but how had they become steeped in false religion? Why could they not make straight false religion, why could they not make a lasting name for themselves by upholding the sacred writings of God?
Psalms 51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.
Isaiah himself gives the answer and what was that? He himself was unclean, as good as dead before the glory of God, how could he speak holy, holy, holy things of the Lord by unclean lips? He gave the humble answer forgotten by most Christian's? If God's people are unclean, are we not also unclean? In other words, does not a little leaven corrupt the whole loaf?
Isaiah.6:3 One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!" 6:4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!" 6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. 6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven." 6:8 I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!"
Daniel, God's prophet prayed about his peoples sin, he included himself as needing to be washed clean with God's people. Flesh cannot be made clean by holy words, preaching to others, reading the deep prophecies of the bible, becoming a scholar of the bible, or by teachings. Holiness comes from God, not us, we are the things with sin that makes all things crooked without God's help. We elevated human nature, we give glory to all manner of things that has been created by other sinners, until truth of Spirit is lost in glory of flesh.
Isa.6:9 He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, but don't understand; and you see indeed, but don't perceive.'
6:10 Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed." 6:11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste, 6:12 And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
6:13 If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock."
Rom.1:21 Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 1:23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
1:24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,
Why has mankind complicated all ways? Why has he been filled with violence towards his brother since the start of his creation? Why does mankind never learn from his past? Why does he walk about like a blind man stumbling over the same old, same old? As a dog returning to his vomit so goes mankind in repeating badness. The desire is present to go up, but our intrinsic nature drags us down!
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Isaiah 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.
Hosea 9:7 The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.
Flesh is easily satisfied with another curve in the road being made straight but for a moment in time, flesh will honor and worship the person straightening out the bump in the road, but soon, it will be made crooked again. The message Isaiah will deliver to God's people will not comfort those loving this world, it will not bring comfort to the flesh. Instead it will cause all flesh to be silent, the message will not be of mankind thinking, or his will, but of the Spirit that no flesh can stand before without withering like a flower in the hot deserts Sun. Truth will compare truth against what flesh believes to be truth nothing not of truth will stand, it will be like white washes walls the sea drives against until they collapse and are washed away!
Ezekiel 44:13 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Isaiah 8:13 Yahweh of Armies is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
Isaiah 10:20 It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Isaiah 17:7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
No one can be clean and stand before the coming of our Lord, until God declares its so, by his Spirit of truth, he measures the boundary set the foundation and alines the top stone straight, he has a plum-line in his hand Mankind's ways are crooked, and all his actions prove it so, God will teach the nations the things of life, the beating their sword into pruning sheers, the ways of peace the nations have not known!
Isaiah 30:15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused.
Isaiah 35:8 A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called The Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
Revelation 15:4 Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed."
Revelation 16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you have judged these things.
Revelation 4:8 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy{Hodges/Farstad MT reads "holy" 9 times instead of 3.} is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!"

"What Shall I Cry?"
**** Isa.40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field. 40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
Here we must ask is this message a message of Good News? How unflattering to those thinking mankind is the center of everything, whom believe God can do nothing without consulting with religion, government, and commerce on earth!
Matt.7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. 7:14 How{TR reads "Because" instead of "How"} narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
Not some flesh is green grass, but “all” of us, all flesh is mere green grass; not the fixer of the human race, not everlasting, not gods! How long do we make a showing with all our efforts, all our loves and hates upon this earth? We wither in a short few days, like a flower nobody remembers in just in a few weeks? This is the best we have to offer? Now listen, think, how many have given all to some person, family, friends, dying in battle, but how much loving kindness did they have, all of it?
1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Zechariah 13:2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.
Micah 1:7 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
Ezekiel 37:23 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Like a mere lowly flower when compared to YHWH glory. Here than is the ultimate question is this the Good News we teach and embrace? What controversy does God have with all flesh, can we answer that question? Is it to glorify mankind works, to hold them in awe their technological advancement? To enshrine their greatest works in literature and science for generation to generation, for eternity?
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
1 John 2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
No! None of it, none of it brings mankind to being a god worthy of eternal life, nothing within mankind loving kindness enshrines him like Jehovah as god. This is the message God speaks, the truth, of mankind existence is totally dependent upon the source of life, God, nothing outside of God, nothing created outside of God is life. God is the conception of life, the creator of life, he alone gives life to those loving God.
Psalms 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 1:10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
James 1:11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
1 Peter 1:24 For, "All flesh is like grass, and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
Mankind has struggled in sin, and the consequence of sin trying to come up with away to get around the truth, lying, dying and teaching the wisdom of man only to go back to the dust from which they came. Vanishing, into dust not an exulted position, but a lowly degraded position. Not exult into the heaven as they have dreamed by building towers into the heaven, still their bones are found to be in the dust.
Job 40:12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
Isaiah 11:4 but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
Isaiah 13:11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
This is the message all nation are headed to hear, it not going to be as so many teach, man bring on the end of the world, and causing the heavens to hiss, no! It will be by Spirit, and how Spirit comes into controversy with those building in their flesh, how truth stands forever, because God is truth, the truth that create all things, it cannot fail. Man will have a chance to show how much loving kindness they have for each others. Gone will be their noble justifications in saving the world, no more white washed walls, the truth is the human race will never turn to God they will continue to promote their system of things no matter how degraded they become.
Romans 9:29 As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Armies{Greek: Sabaoth (for Hebrew: Tze'va'ot)} had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."{Isaiah 1:9}
Mark 13:20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.
Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?" 7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
humans will steal God's words and use them to justify their love for this world and its ways Soon God will speak, all flesh will see that there is no place one can hid before the truth of God's Spirit, everything not of truth will vanish, everything not truth and Spirit will perish. Is that our Good News, to we worship in truth and Spirit? Or our we still in the primary doctrines of Christ constantly convincing others that we have great loving kindness, we are so concern with their spiritual well being that we take the place of Spirit and truth, the Christ?
1Cor.3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building. 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it. 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. 3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire

Yahweh Will Come as a Mighty God
Isa.40:9 You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up. Don't be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, "Behold, your God!" 40:10 Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.
When society is so corrupted by its own values that evil become right, and good becomes hated as evil who is to blame? So goes the nature of mankind to blame others, greater division ensues until wrath is the order of the day! Human think greater knowledge increase more unity, but the quest of greater truth and knowledge ends up with more pain, why pain and lack of trust?
Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Simply put, human finding nothing is sacred worthy of looking up to, they discover in every facet of human life people are the same, they will say and do anything to promote their agendas. Their idols crumble in government, science, technology, religion, and commerce none are without corruption. Their mountain raised up in past generation are made low, and their lofty ideas are exposed as false, corrupted by manipulating the facts.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.
Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Still false religion, government, and commerce will not give up control and power, they simple run to some good they have done, promote it, preach it, teach its, to justify the evil. This standard is the standard of all Satan system of things gladly upheld by the human race. The myth is, the great mystery which is taught by all humans when a nation or people reach rock bottom morally they will come up. But sadly they do not, they find yet another way to justify their evil actions, because that is the tool used to put themselves in decline in the first place, its call a lie! This was the condition of God's own people at Isaiah time, nothing was straight, yet, God's people accepted their unrighteous condition than complained about their lot in life. They could not fix all the problems among each other, but still they stubbornly held on to their ways.
Rom.3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 3:12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."{Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20}
3:13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit."{Psalm 5:9} "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"{Psalm 140:3} 3:14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."{Psalm 10:7} 3:15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways. 3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8} 3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."{Psalm 36:1}
None had loving kindness enough to make straight what had been made crooked, but they continual in hoping in idols of men. However, as the judgment of God Spirit continued their loving kindness vanished like grass on a roof when the hot summer Sun scorch it, writhing its life in minutes. Here the point missed by them and many of us, God is in control, he never gave up Kingship over man that is a lie, a lie told, and sold by Satan the Devil. These were God's people under his discipline carrying his name, their ways were not his ways!
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.
They may have hated their God, they may have completely rejected him and all his ways, but who was their creator, who's name were they really slandering by their corrupt ways? Now they would find out the real truth, the truth of Spirit, not by lying and dying flesh. YHWH would speak to each person raised up in their pride not by many words justifying and lying about themselves, God would speak by the very Spirit which created all things, each person heart would be humbled, truth would be known, not a digging up evil of mankind corrupt ways thinking God holds such truth sacred as unlocking something that will help him.
Rom.2:16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
The truth the world hates is about themselves, not their brother, father, or mothers, not even about religion, nor some truth about institutional corruption or the great conspires people love and search day and night to uncover, no! Truth of their own sins, truth of all that's in their hearts thinking its OK, justified by good emotion, good feeling, reading their bibles, pointing out others sins, this is the truth God exposes in each one of us where sin started and will end.
Matthew 12:36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
John 3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
YHWH will not put such judgment in mankind's hands he takes personal control of feeding, and disciplining each human being on earth, they will know when Christ God's appointed king comes, not in physical sight, but in each person contact with God's judgment by Spirit. It will not be a little light show, a game, a religious extreme idea of God's wrath, it will be truth and Spirit that no human can escape from even in death. None will stand in this judgment in their flesh, none will doubt or open their mouth, none will worry about their neighbor conduct good or bad. It will be them alone standing before the thorn of the Son of Man.
Romans 14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:13 Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling.
Romans 14:22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.
1 Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
Here than is the truth, the Spirit that creates a clean heart, and gives us faith, here is the truth of being born again not by man's will but God's, here is the truth of every anointed son of God, created in Christ not by human hands, but the Spirit of their Father Jehovah God. The discipline of God for his children is not physical but spiritual discipline unseen by human eyes. No human being will get past that judgment upon God's temple class which started thousand's years ago. However, when that is done all flesh must under go the discipline of God's holy, holy, holy Spirit, who can stand? What flesh will be saved, none!
Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Ezekiel 21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Ezekiel 21:5 and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
Think, God's children are the pattern, the first fruits, they are put to death in the flesh that cannot stand with God, God is making all things new; that new is created by his Spirit not the will of our old flesh. Any being saved must under go the disciple of the Spirit, it must be put to death, accounted dead, if those days are not cut short no flesh will be saved!
Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
Revelation 17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Rev.7:13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?" 7:14 I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. 7:16 They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;
7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Who Has Directed The Spirit of Yahweh?
****Isa.40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor?
The human heart bubbles up like a foul spring good and evil something impossible in God's creation. The heart is treacherous like shadows of light under the a great tree of mankind always changing as the Sun moves across the sky, from light into shades of gray and then complete darkness.
Nehemiah 9:12 Moreover in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
Psalms 36:9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
Here we are told by Isaiah God's prophet under the power of Holy Spirit all mankind's loving kindness is but a flower having beauty, but dying under the breathe of He whom created all that is everlasting in mankind's world. God makes the demarcation Himself, the line drawn in the sand; “Come up here measure your goodness, your greatness against my creation”!
Isaiah 5:14 Therefore Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.} has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.
Isaiah 65:7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Yahweh, who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
Jeremiah 46:28 Don't be afraid you, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished
In every way Israel ran to man, they looked to everything human to fix and save them, their system of things the way they lived and function in society with all the intrigues, scheme, and conspires which they loved, and practiced had failed them, it did not work, it did not make a better world for them, it did exactly what human society always does decline into more and more corruption. One bad apple unchecked causes one more apple to rot and so it goes until an entire nation is rotten.
Jeremiah 24:8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says Yahweh, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,
Jeremiah 29:17 thus says Yahweh of Armies; Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that can't be eaten, they are so bad.
Mark.11:13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
11:14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.
Here the prophets, priest, kings ran to teach God's ways they would evoke the names of the great one, Moses, David, Noah, Daniel, but they had no power within their own loving kindness to change their own corruption. The level of deception is the same throughout the history of mankind, drop a name, aggrandize it, then interpret what the person did and said while they were alive so the person can make what they say powerful. This is the godship mankind accepts? A pile of dung, bloody rages not washed clean as god, putting faith in those empty words, how corrupt is that? How corrupt to turn the glory of God into four foot creatures, into human's that will do every form of corruption to gain and stay in power? This nation was in crises, and the message God had for them was not a band-aid on a mortal wound.
Ezekiel 3:6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
Ezekiel 33:32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don't do them.
2 Peter 2:3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn't linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
Ezekiel 14:14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezekiel 14:20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Look up, who created all these things, measure your power against the creator of the stars, who numbers each one, who measures where no man has gone before with a span of his hand. Mankind can drop God's names he can boast in speaking for God, but can he take God's Holy Spirit, can he make other clean, can he redeem his brother by his grand words stolen from the bible? Can he make a new creation, can he make straight what sin has made crooked, can he humble a whole nation in a minute?
Isaiah 40:27 Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, "My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?"
Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn't say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Jeremiah 9:5 They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Ezekiel 12:25 For I am Yahweh; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yahweh.
Who could imagine an invisible person on a spec of dust moving through the universe of billions of billions of stars could exult themselves so much, what is wrong with us as humans, really? Who would take power over others as a god, judging, destroying, and controlling the thinking of others? Why would a person think so highly of their human abilities when the history of mankind pages drip with blood of war, there has been no peace for the wicked, ever!
Isaiah 57:21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.
God does not deal with the proud, can we imagine how unbecoming such proudness is to the creator of all things? Those having the Spirit of God hid their face in the present of Jehovah God the ancient of days, but the flesh is proud, boastful and full of death dealing treachery. Israel God's people chosen because of the faith and humility of Abraham were totally fleshly, corrupted by their own ways and teaching. But teaching them as God's ways. They created a sea of wickedness making all Israel unclean, but they blamed everything but themselves.
Levitius 10:10 and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
Jeremiah 13:27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! you will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
They prayed to support their ways to continue long in them, to do more of their ways, not changing their ways. They took God's words and used his word to support their life. Now they were in a state of confusion what are God's ways, they are too high up, to far off, who could get them? Man creates the mystery because he hates the truth, he loves the truth to destroy his enemies, but hates the truth of his own heart. However, God had a message for his people, none would stand, none would boast, none would blurt out consul to God, flesh would quickly wear out, when God's dynamic power comes in contact with mere flesh, who would stand, all would see and listen, every mouth will be shut before his righteousness.
Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Ezekiel 36:25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34}
Rom.10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'{Deuteronomy 30:12} (that is, to bring Christ down);
10:7 or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'{Deuteronomy 30:13} (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;"{Deuteronomy 30:14} that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10:10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."{Isaiah 28:16} 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."{Joel 2:32}

Idol Worship:
****Isa.40:18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him? 40:19 A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it. 40:20 He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up an engraved image for him that will not be moved.
Idolatry started with the first sin where Eve thought she was a god, where she imputed evil into God's motives for the human race, where she listen by attaching herself to another head, making herself a slave to sin. Idol worship the effort to make the unknown real, to impute human reasoning into an object so a person gives reverence to the object.
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
Isaiah 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed."
Ezekiel 11:21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
With sin mankind lost personal contact with God's Spirit, they could think of God, talk about God from each person understanding of God, but they did not live in God as Adam and Eve lived in God making him real, knowing his heart and mind on all matters. When a person dies, their memoir fades quickly, headstones are put over them remainders are kept so the person remains real to us. Here Israel had contact with God through various prophets, kings and judges in its history. God mandated that certain things be built, and certain clothes be worn, laws were given, and sacrifice were done on certain dates for the nation to remain holy before God as his people.
But as a whole the nation of Israel was fleshly, where objects, things, dates, past prophets, the law, all became an idol, the worship of things by sight became more important then loving God, worshiping God. However, as than, as today those worshiping idols refuse to see the truth of their devotion to a false substitute gods.
Isaiah 29:9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Yahweh's servant?
Isaiah 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.
Isaiah 66:3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, [as he who offers] pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
1 Corinthians 8:4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
The flesh imputes into things, animals, pictures, people, building, trees, creation their personality, their feelings, with each other, but why? Unwittingly, they are saying they are a god, and what they think, feel, all should feel and think the same. If they own a pet, the pet has their feelings. God is no different, they read their bibles and take examples of old and self-identify with the person assuming their thoughts and feelings are the same. But God does not feel the affects of sin, or idol worship, he does not think like us human having lust of the flesh that causes unrighteous thoughts and feelings. Those loving this world, are entice by the many gods found in every facet of life of human history. In the things they built, created governments, going to war, amazing work in technology, art, and entertainment. People even worship sports hero's projecting pride of their feeling into players, we are literally saturated with idolatry.
Rom.1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 1:19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
1:21 Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
None should be surprise when stepping into a raging river that the power of the flow sweeps us down stream. None should be surprise that we be swept away into idolatry because of our fallen flesh in humanizing God. The projection of making God more like us, his feeling his thoughts, his actions when the flesh is an idol worshiper, and must be put to death by God's power in Christ.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.
Roman 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be. 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Those idols are lies, they are not real, religion, corporation, governments, sport, cars, whatever? They are not real they do not give us life, they do not teach us of God's mind. They are substitutes for not facing the truth. They are white wash graves, they are white washed walls that indeed appear beautiful, but are full of justifications for human weakness in sin.
Matthew 23:27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
With all the substitute smoking mirror human work for; fight for, and die for still we all go back from which we came, into the earth, we cannot save ourselves by the finest art, the greatest religion, the smartest mind, we have God's truth right before us each day in life, from birth into death. What is our loving kindness? Truth Isaiah spoke thousand's of years ago, think! Think of all the things man has tried and created since he spoke these words? We are a flower having beauty but for a moment, fading into something people hid in the ground from which we came. A horror to human sight, and feared, death.
1 Corinthians 15:21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Where is the hope for all those that have died, is it in some great person? Is it in something we can selfishly obtain too so people will look up to us for but a moment of time on earth? Where is mankind's gods, where is Eve? Where are those men and woman who lusted for some greatest taking and destroying the lives of others to have a fading moment of glory on earth? How myopic are we? How foolish are we? How sad is the lot of our human race? What can saving this life give us? What can fighting and lusting for something really bring us in the end of it?
Ezekiel 37:23 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Job 14:2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue.
God says to us, look up! Stop the nonsense, stop the lust for recognition, stop imputing our thoughts as my thoughts, stop, and be still, be silence. Even dumb animals know the times and season, know their master, but my people, having not know God. One cannot teach God, pick up your bibles educated God with your religion, tell him how to act, because you firmly believe you have the truth, pray to God tell him what he thinks and feels as you repeat words from your own heart.
Isaiah 30:15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused.
Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. 17:11 As the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
God is the creator, we cannot teach him anything no matter the depth of our feelings. Let us move away from idolatry putting it all away and put faith in Spirit and truth. God has declared the glorious Good News from heaven if we have ears of faith, he has never left his people, he has never cheated, or been like a turning of some shadow changing from light into darkness. He is the Rock, solid in every word spoken, he cannot hand us a evil serpent when asking to know Him. Let us stop making him a man because we have such strong feeling in some area of our life, let him speak truth, he will not hid, or lie to us.
Acts 17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Rom.10:3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."{Leviticus 18:5} 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'{Deuteronomy 30:12} (that is, to bring Christ down); 10:7 or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'{Deuteronomy 30:13} (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;"{Deuteronomy 30:14} that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10:10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."{Isaiah 28:16} 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."{Joel 2:32}

They Are Sown Scarcely
****Isa.40:21 Haven't you known? Haven't you heard, yet? Haven't you been told from the beginning? Haven't you understood from the foundations of the earth? 40:22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in; 40:23 who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth like meaningless. 40:24 They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
40:25 "To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
Why are we in consternation that is the question from God too us? It is because our world is fleshly all that effects the spirit of flesh in this world effects us, causing turmoil, fear and wrath! No person can save themselves they can take every precaution, do everything according to book by the wisdom of all the world and yet they are effected by the events happening in this world, the fearful things coming upon this earth daily. One strings connects all of us, the enter system of things is interwoven.
Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
The question is one of faith, such a faith that one willingly gives up this life for the next daily, they live in faith, they live in a different spirit than the one pervading our world, a spirit not attached to flesh and blood, but to a kingdom that cannot be inherited by flesh and blood. The nation of Israel was in consternation because they had put faith in the arm of flesh corrupting their nation into the bloody rages of woman menstruation unclean in everyway before Jehovah God.
Isa.6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!" 6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. 6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."
Here Israel put faith in words of flesh, they came to believe strong words coming from the flesh were planted forever still not understanding the truth. Fleshes power is only from words that what builds and strengthen the flesh. Now they thought that is what builds and strengthen the Almighty YHWH, words, words that change like a shadow under a massive tree as the Sun cross overhead. God to them was a man, like them with many words, changing from light into darkness just like the religion and the system of things fleshly minded people build.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
1 Corinthians 6:16 Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, "The two," says he, "will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}
One word could change an entire nation, it could cause a war, or change their government to oppress them in a heart beat life was about politic justifying, convincing, arguing, fighting for their rights they essentially became their own salvation, they made themselves gods, idols. Not one of them could save a brother, let alone change their thinking, not one could humble one person, but yet they insisted in their ways. But their ways in truth was; they had not been planted, their root was nonexistent to God, they were but a mere breathe, an mist, but for moment, yet, in their blindness they thought they could control forever!
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
The flesh is proud, but it can be broken easily, going from pride of greatness into shame and humility in a moment, bipolar is the ways of flesh, proud to broken in a twinkling of eye. God is not controlled by any desire of our flesh, he is not a man that his mind changes through anger and emotions. He has set the foundation of our earth, planted the everlasting heavens above us, he can humble an entire nation with word no one can check his hand. He is not a politician selling us life, he is not comparing his ways against our ways, we human's are doing that as fools.
Psalms 56:4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Isaiah 31:3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
God is not in competition as some teach for lives, or control of this earth that he has to struggle with kings for control using intrigue and deception. Everything belongs to God, every person born, every atom, every hair of our head. God touches nothing unclean, his tree does not have corrupt fruit upon it where He like politician's of religion, government, and commerce has to convince us the fruit is good, like flesh teaches without them we don't have life to the fullest, and/or life. Suffering is terrifying, it is a lost of freedom and life, its not natural, but shouldn't we suffer in faith? We have a choice each day do we set our eyes on everlasting though we don't feel worthy, or do we set our eyes upon that which will perish? Do we rest in God's love, honestly think about that statements? God is love, not us don't confuse human love with God's love. If we all fall short of God's glory and love than none of us are worthy. But because God is love, and his son is worthy than let us first start with not putting faith in ourselves, which next goes into men. Let stop putting faith in flesh at all and put faith in the only thing that can save us completely!
Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
John 12:47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Luke 9:24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

My Ways is Hidden From Yahweh
****Isa.40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, Not one is lacking. 40:27 Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, "My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?" 40:28 Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn't faint. He isn't weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
The question is, does God YHWH answer to man? If one listen to mankind one would think God is a slave to their every need, a projection of their own hearts. God is there to answer every whim of our heart, if an injustices is done, the person prays for vengeance, and if not answered God then no longer exist. Here was the polite of Israel, justice the way they thought God should act, and perhaps were taught didn't happen?
Isaiah 28:15 "Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.'"
Isaiah 28:17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
Today many Christian's experience the same thing, they have been taught God is their hand maid, he waits upon them hand and foot only later to find out they had been deceived, not by God, but their own teachings. They have put faith in some date, some new conspiracy, some new coming, only to lose all faith in God or if he exist at all? In other words, God didn't do as they wished and hoped for.
James.1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 1:4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
Has God spoken to them personally, or have they been taught to piece meal scriptures together then claim that it is God's message to the human race, why would a person do that? It is because of the condition of all humans on earth, and what is that? Self importance, thinking they are the first the best generation that all must be done in their life times God must act, if not then we didn't get the date right because its going to happen in my lifetime. God does not lie! Now let say that one more time, God does not lie. That leaves us one option, and that is we and mankind then lies if what we teach does not come true!
Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;
Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;
Is a little leaven of falsehood better than the truth? Is it justified to keep things exciting as some reason, to keep them awake? Do we really understand the point of Isaiah chapter forty? Flesh is always sleeping when it come to God Spirit, all of its loving kindness is a mist, a mere flower appearing for but a moment in time, from glory to ugly within days. Is God a flower so he should fix every little flower fading because they want it done in their time table?
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
James 1:11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
1 Peter 1:24 For, "All flesh is like grass, and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
Look up, now look up, things are not on our time table, do we get it? Those gas balls we call stars do not fade in our life time or go away, they have exist from time indefinite, and will be there long after our glory as humans fade away! Who then must we humble ourselves before, man or God? Who must we put faith in, ourselves, our religion, some person, some government, our own strengthen? Can a God that creates an everlasting star be forced into a human time tables, or not care, not set all issues right in his almighty justice?
saiah 64:8 But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
Look up, does God fade, is his loving kindness like ours, get it done now or it won't happen when we are gone, run, fight, worry, do what ever it takes so a person can make a name on earth, it that God's time table and his righteousness? Where is the greatest king to have every lived, the greatest person, where are they in few short years? What truth is hidden, what truth is so important that God does not know about it? What injustice has gone that will not be corrected? Who are we that we should speak back to our master our creator does not the potter have authority over the clay?
Rom..9:18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. 9:19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" 9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"{Isaiah 29:16; 45:9} 9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Do we understand it is in resting in God's strength that we live as Christian's, do we put faith in him as everlasting, or do we demand things to happen now, in our days, on earth? How does a man have power over his spirit, how does he know the end afterward, how can he plan even one day with God like authority? No life is not easy its is a daily struggle but let us not be foolish enough to think God is struggling wring his hand with us as humans, not one thing is missing, not one hair of our head is not accounted for, not one person to have ever existed God does not have complete control of their existence, really look up, really stop and rest, come back in resting in Christ and you will find peace.
Isaiah 28:12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place. Give rest to weary;" and "This is the refreshing;" yet they would not hear.
Jeremiah 50:6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.

****Isa.40:29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. 40:30 Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; 40:31 But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
Here we have the summation of the whole of chapter forty of Isaiah the conclusion of the flesh of mankind meeting the power of God's kingdom, the Spirit! Many have applied the above statements to the flesh only to end up in disappointment and death. They have not mount up like wings of an eagle, and not grown weary, they have found flesh does not stand at all with Jehovah God the Spirit.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
James 3:5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
1 Timothy 6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
Instead as Isaiah himself experienced when in the present of God the weakness of the sinful flesh unto death, a fearful dread of unworthiness, until the Spirit made him stand. So to Christian's after Christian's have found their flesh does not mount up because God is not reforming our flesh, he is renewing what is everlasting the spirit in us, by the power of Christ life in us. This is the truth, the wasting away of the outer man daily to the renewing of the spirit, so we can do battle not with the flesh, or its will, but in Spirit and truth, do you understand that statement? It not a preacher yelling in a righteous voice pounding the pulpit, no! Man anger is not God righteousness, the Spirit and truth is Christ Jesus himself. Christ is God's temple, he has the resting place of the Spirit of God, and Christ is also the truth, for us Christian's.
2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
Ephesians 5:9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
Ephesians 4:24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Romans 2:2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.{Psalm 119:142}
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Pounding the bible is not truth, it is fleshly angry at unrighteousness, but it not the truth that renews us into eternal life from the death of flesh when it acts through lust killing the Spirit and truth in our mortal bodies. It is Christ the resurrection and life that bring us back from the slaughter of death, experience the life and death of Christ daily in us, like sheep being brought to the slaughter. It is the shedding of the flesh that will bring us fully into the power of God's kingdom Spirit.
Rom.8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gal. 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Now in context this is the judgment on all flesh, this is the controversy God will bring into plan light by the Spirit and the truth of his Son Christ Jesus. No one will have to run to a TV set to see Christ coming, how foolish! God is a Spirit and he created us by Spirit and His ability to communicate with us as a Spirit person with flesh should be obvious, how small minded, look up! Who is the creator of light and invisible waves; for us to make it all about the flesh seeing, and hearing, is deny the witness of creation itself! The veil will be lifted, the flesh will no longer hid behind a self-imposed, self-denied lie that there is no spirit principality ruling this world denying the human race is part of and connected too them.
Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
1 Corinthians 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
God's Spirit and the body of Christ are all one, connect, which will bring to nothing the kingdom of evil spirit sons, their kingdom is connected by what? Flesh, the truth will be known in each person heart as the fire of a laundryman lye is ignited, a hissing with anger will occur, a melting of the flesh and every rule, law, institution will fall into drunken foolishness as worthless. What shall Isaiah cry out? The truth, all flesh is like green grass, it fades, it withers, when? When the breathe of YHWH blows upon it. All the loving kindness of man's rule upon earth is like as mere flower, dying, in a few days, going from a moment of beauty created by God out of love, into an ugly death rejected and discard by humans as of no value at all!
Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yahweh; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
Ezekiel 31:14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.
Amos 5:8 seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name.
John 8:51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."
2 Corinthians 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh. 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
But wait, look up, note God is the creator, we are the flowers, not the self-sustaining life human boast in, God words stand forever, now compare your life against those stars, the earth. Who creates such power, certainly not the great men human worship, no not religion that enshrine themselves as powerful leaders and gods over mankind, where is the power when Spirit and truth comes?
Psalms 90:11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Psalms 145:11 They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power.
Isaiah 37:27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
Isaiah 50:2 Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Is God going to lie, is he going to take the yeast pie and make it pretty and better so men can boast some more about their greatness? We have no doubt, God has not hid the truth about the coming of Christ, He has given in vivid detail regarding our condition in this flesh, be wise, kiss the Son.
Jeremiah 27:5 I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you.
Nahum 1:3 Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Hebrews 7:16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
Revelation 15:8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

****Isa.40:1 "Comfort, comfort my people," says your God.
40:2 "Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh's hand double for all her sins."
Israel was a land of torment and trouble no comfort was found for them in the flesh, none! Yes, no one could stop the trouble not one leader, not anyone thinking lets add more religion and judge harder those that are sinner could stop the agitation of the people, why?
Because they were in captivity God had brought them into captivity for what?
Exodus 20:24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
2 Chronicles 15:5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
Psalms 29:11 Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
Their sins against God the sacrifice for sins could not pay the price for their rebellious disobedience against God so trouble and unkindness was found everywhere in their lives with each other with other nations there was no peace. Yes, they had thought peace came from them, but they were learning the hard way, or would learn that God had brought them divine peace from heaven, which caused the nation and each other to live in harmony with the God of peace.
Isaiah 66:12 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck [of it]; you shall be borne on the side, and shall be dandled on the knees.
Jeremiah 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good came; [and] for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
Jeremiah 12:12 Destroyers are come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Jeremiah 23:17 They say continually to those who despise me, Yahweh has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.
Captivity would teach them the truth as it had the nation before them that God is the almighty and it is His arm they must live by and not their own arm of flesh which brings all flesh, humans, into captivity one way or another. The flesh offers freedom, but it cannot give freedom without enslaving others; someone will suffer for the freedom of our flesh. This lesson is the lesson from the Garden of God with Adam and Eve, Spirit ruled there, and there was freedom and peace in everything Adam and Eve did, until flesh, was born from sin into our world!
Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
Ezekiel 7:25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
Ezekiel 34:25 I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Amos 5:22 Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
Zechariah 8:10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
Man cannot live by bread alone without bring himself into captivity to sin and its corruption, no mountain of mankind left up will not decline into corruption when it is created by the will of our flesh. The complaints and cries for God's help failed his people in captivity, the righteous and the unrighteous all suffer the same loss of peace causing great turmoil among God's people from all sides they were under siege from within and without; sin is wicked causing lack of peace with God, but interpreter wrongly by flesh as an attacks from other flesh, when there is no comfort from God for the flesh it becomes ruthless with each other causing no peace for the wicked.
Zechariah 8:12 "For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
Luke 1:79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men."
Romans 3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8}
Romans 5:1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
Revelation 6:4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
Those of the flesh could not remember long, like the Spirit, they remember only one minute, one day at a time forgetting God is long and he does not feel regret when he set a time and a place he will not alter his judgment for the complaints of those found in captivity for payment of sins.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Haggai 1:6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
Ezekiel 29:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Jeremiah 25:11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
This is the story of Isaiah chapter forty where flesh Vs. God the Spirit, the nation that walked after the flesh, and forgot the God of dynmatic power their forefather worship and served. They had forgot the captivity of former generations the deliverance from Egypt, the wandering in the wilderness, why? They had become a nation of flesh looking to flesh to save them, honoring the powerful among them, thinking Moses had delivered them instead of God raising up Moses as His deliver at his appointed times.
Genesis 9:11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
2 Chronicles 32:8 with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Yahweh our God to help us, and to fight our battles. The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Psalms 56:4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Isaiah 9:20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Isaiah 66:23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says Yahweh.
Revelation 17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
Yes, like all flesh does, it can come no higher than looking to other flesh for deliverance, looking to the physical, looking to the wisdom of this world, looking to men of knowledge, but descending into more and more corruption until the entire nation becomes corrupt with people having no peace, but instead works of the flesh as they chose to act, anyway they so determine to act, like gods, having no respect for anything good, morally upright showing they are not gods, but beast with fleshly desires that must be fulfilled at the cost of hurting others.
Romans 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Ephesians 2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
Ephesians 4:19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
James 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
Soon God will speak, not the message of the flesh, but the message of Spirit and truth, all flesh will see it, and all flesh will know how much loving kindness it actually has, and what mankind loving kindness has cost the human race? All controversy will end when Israel meets the God of Spirit and truth the hardest cases unresolved for centuries among the flesh will be made as nothing before the power of the King Jehovah, like a leveled mountain. But the question remains will the message of Spirit and truth bring comfort or turmoil to our flesh?
Psalms 65:7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
Genesis 22:14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide{or, Yahweh-Jireh, or, Yahweh-Seeing}. As it is said to this day, "On Yahweh's mountain, it will be provided."
Isaiah 2:2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
Isaiah 11:9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 16:1 Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Isaiah 65:11 But you who forsake Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
Revelation 6:14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation 8:8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood.
