Israel In Isaiah, 3:1-4:1, 760 B.C., Notes

Paul Wilbur – For Your Name is Holy. Video details are at the foot of this page.

The Book of Isiah is about a prophecy that was given by God to Isaiah, who was a Jewish prophet who, in turn, spoke God’s prophecy to Jewish people about Jewish circumstances and situations.

Isaiah 1:1, “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.”

The Book Of Isaiah.

Purpose of Writing: The Prophet Isaiah was primarily called to prophesy to the Kingdom of Judah. Judah was going through times of revival and times of rebellion. Judah was threatened with destruction by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared because of God’s mercy. Isaiah proclaimed a message of repentance from sin and hopeful expectation of God’s deliverance in the future. (gotquestions.org)

Translation Considerations. “The New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation was chosen for this, and other studies, because of two main reasons. First, the NASB capitalizes the first letter of pronouns that relate to God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit); not all Bible translations show that same respect for God. Second, the NASB has a history of correctness in translation.”

Introduction. Isaiah 3:1-4:1. The Lord’s indictment against, and judgment of, Jerusalem and Judah continued. (MSB)
Text, in full. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+3%3A1-4%3A1&version=NASB 

Isaiah 3:1
For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread
And the whole supply of water;

Note. 3:1. “remove.” Through Nebuchadnezzar (see 2 Kings 24:15-16). “supply and support.” Both words indicate something one leans on. (RSB)

Note. 3:1. the Lord (136) Adonay: Lord, the proper name of God. GOD (3068) Yahweh: the proper name of the God of Israel. https://biblehub.com/lexicon/isaiah/3-1.htm

Isaiah 3:2-3.
2 The mighty man and the warrior,
The judge and the prophet,
The diviner and the elder,
3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
The counselor and the expert artisan,
And the skillful enchanter.

Note. 3:1–3 “Takes away . . . expert enchanter.” God’s judgment was to include a removal of the people’s leadership. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:4-5
4 And I will make mere lads their princes,
And capricious children will rule over them,
5 And the people will be oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;
The youth will storm against the elder
And the inferior against the honorable.

Note. 3:4-5. (children . . . honorable.) Inexperience in government was to lead to degeneration and irresponsibility at every level of national life. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:6-7
6 When a man lays hold of his brother in his father’s house, saying,
“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler,
And these ruins will be under your charge,”
7 He will protest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”

Note. 3:6-7. “let these ruins . . . ruler of the people.” Conditions of anarchy were to be so bad that no one would accept a position of authority over the people. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:8
“For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen,
Because their speech and their actions are against the Lord,
To rebel against His glorious presence.”

Note. 3:8 Jerusalem . . . Judah. The fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. was only a partial fulfillment of this prophecy. The final fulfillment awaits the times just prior to Christ’s second coming. against the LORD. The root of Zion’s problem surfaces: overt rebellion against the Lord. The people sinned shamelessly; they made no effort to conceal it (3:9).(MSB)

Forward Note: 3:10–15 This oracle against Judah’s leaders is in three parts: (1) an affirmation that God repays good and evil (vv. 10, 11); (2) an accusation that Israel’s leaders were leading people astray (v. 12); (3) a divine lawsuit against the leaders for exploiting their subjects (vv. 13–15; see 1:23). (NKJV)

Isaiah 3:9-11
9 The expression of their faces bears witness against them,
And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves.
10 Say to the righteous that it will go well with them,
For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him,
For what he deserves will be done to him.

Note. 3:9. Considered a horribly sinful city (1:9), Sodom had been destroyed by God (Gen. 19). Yet Judeans were parading their defiance against God just like the Sodomites. (NKJV)

Note. 3:10. “eat the fruit.” Compare this idea with 1:19. (NKJV)

Note. 3:11. paid back for what their hands have done. Cf. Pr 26:27 and note; Gal 6:7–9 and note on 6:7.(NIV)

Isaiah 3:12
“O My people! Their oppressors are children,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.

Note. 3:12. “children . . . women.” Children and women were considered ill-suited for governmental leadership, so they figuratively depicted the incompetent rulers. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:13-15
13 The Lord arises to contend,
And stands to judge the people.
14 The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 “What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the face of the poor?”
Declares the Lord God of hosts.

Note. vs 14. “vineyard.” The spoiling of the vineyard by the leaders amounts to their inequities in ruling the nation. Isaiah gave a more detailed comparison of God’s people to a vineyard in 5:1–7. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:16-17
16 Moreover, the Lord said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud
And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs,
And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.”

Note. “daughters of Zion.” When women cultivate beauty for beauty’s sake, they thereby reflect the moral decay of the nations and detract from the glory of God. Rather than emphasizing outward apparel and activities (vv. 16–24), ladies should cultivate the beauty of the inner person (1 Tim. 2:9, 10; 1 Pet. 3:3, 4). mincing as they go. Ornamental chains about the ankles necessitated shorter steps and produced tinkling sounds to attract attention. (MSB)

Isaiah 3:18-23, “18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, 19 dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, 20 headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, 21 finger rings, nose rings, 22 festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses, 23 hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.

Note. vs 18, “in that day.” The Day of the Lord. (See note on Isaiah 2:12). (RSB)

Isaiah 3:24-26
24 Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction;
Instead of a belt, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp;
Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men will fall by the sword
And your mighty ones in battle.
26 And her gates will lament and mourn,
And deserted she will sit on the ground.

Note. 16-26. The fashionable women, seeking to lure other women’s husbands with their imported luxurious dress, would soon be destitute (cf. 1 Peter 3:3-4). (RSB)

Isaiah 4:1, For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!” 

Note. 4:1. “seven women . . . one man.” In the day of the Lord (see note on 2:12), He will judge wicked women indirectly by allowing a slaughtering of males, thereby producing a shortage of husbands. (MSB)

End Times 22, Revelation 13:1-10, The Antichrist

Video Title. Nicolae Carpathia

Article Title. End Times 22, Revelation 13:1-10, The Antichrist

I. In the above video we see people who have been left behind from the Rapture. The key figure is the Antichrist, as he is taking control of the world by creating ten global regions of nations that will come under his heavy-handed control (Revelation 13:1). This Left Behind movie, and others, came as a result of the Left Behind series of books that were written under the leadership of Dr. Tim LaHaye, whose credentials can be found in my “About Sources” page. The Left Behind books and movies tell of the upcoming time in our world when those whom are left behind from the rapture of the church have to deal with the persecution of the Antichrist, even more so if they come to saving faith in Christ. The Left Behind movies and books are very much in sync with the scriptures of the Bible that tell of the end of times event that we are studying, and relate heavily to the time of the Tribulation. Video details can be seen at the bottom of this page.

II. Text. Revelation 13:1-10. The Beast From The Sea.

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

III. Translation Considerations. “The New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation was chosen for this, and other studies, because of two main reasons. First, the NASB capitalizes the first letter of pronouns that relate to God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit); not all Bible translations show that same respect for God. Second, the NASB has a history of correctness in translation.”

V. Comments. Revelation Chapter 13:1-10.

A. 13:1. “a beast.” The Antichrist. Many emperors of Rome defiled themselves, but Antichrist will far outstrip all of his predecessors in his blasphemous ways. “ten horns.” The 10 kings that gave their power and authority to the Antichrist (17:12-13) (RSB). The fact that the beast rises out of the sea is taken by many to indicate that he comes from the great mass of humanity, namely the Gentile powers of the world. Others take it as a reference to the Mediterranean, namely, that the beast will arise from the Mediterranean area. Probably both are true in that the beast is a Gentile and does come from the Mediterranean scene (WRC). Since Daniel identified this beast as arising from the world’s fourth great empire (Rome), this is understood by many to refer to a revived Roman empire (MBC). Daniel 7:7-8, “a fourth beast.” Rome. The 10 horns are explained in vs 24, and the little horn (Antichrist) in vs 24-25 (RSB).

B. 13:2. “the dragon gives him power.” Satan gives his power. (RSB)

C. 13:3-4. “One of his heads” may stand for a specific ruler, but more likely it stands for an empire. The unbelieving “world” is enticed (12:9) by Satan to follow and worship the beast. Those who “worshiped” the beast also unwittingly worshiped the devil, “who gave authority to the beast.” Any false worship or idolatry is ultimately demonic and satanic (see 1 Cor. 10:20–22). The beast is worshiped because the world is convinced that no one is “like” him and that no one can successfully “make war” against him. (MSB)

D. 13:5. “was given.” The sovereign God will establish the limits within which Antichrist will be allowed to speak and operate. God will allow him to utter his blasphemies, to bring the rage of Satan to its culmination on earth for 3 1/2 years (v. 5; 11:2, 3; 12:6, 13, 14). “forty-two months.” The final 3 1/2 years—1,260 days—of the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7) and Daniel’s 70th week (Dan. 9:24–27), known as the Great Tribulation (see notes on 11:2; 12:6; cf. Dan. 7:25). This last half is launched by the abomination of desolations (see note on Matt. 24:15). (MSB)

E. 13:6. “His name.” This identifies God and summarizes all His attributes (cf. Ex. 3:13, 14). “His tabernacle.” This is symbolic of heaven (cf. Heb. 9:23, 24). “those who dwell in heaven.” The angels and glorified saints who are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night. (MSB)

F. 13:6. “His tabernacle.” God’s dwelling place in Heaven. (RSB)

G. 13:6. “those who dwell in heaven.” These are they of the raptured and resurrected Church. End Times 4, Comment 4:4, following link:
https://equippingblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/19/end-times-4-revelation-41-4-john-caught-up-to-heaven/

H. 13:7. “make war with the saints.” The Antichrist will be allowed to massacre those who are God’s children (cf. 6:9–11; 11:7; 12:17; 17:6; Dan. 7:23–25; 8:25; 9:27; 11:38; 12:10; Matt. 24:16–22). See note on 17:6. (MSB)

I. 13:8. Just as the entire world is under the political domination of the beast, so all the world except the saints will worship him. All who are not saved will worship the beast; those who are saved will not worship him. These who worship the beast are described as not having their names written in the book of life, a book frequently mentioned in the Revelation (3:5; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27; 22:19; cf. Luke 10:20; Phil. 4:3). Those worshiping the beast are the unsaved of both Jews and Gentiles in contrast to saved Jews and Gentiles whose names are written in the book of life. (WRC). The book of life is a book of the names of those whom are saved (RSB. Rev 3:5).

J. 13:9. Cf. 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22. This phrase omits “what the Spirit says to the churches” as in the 7 letters to the churches, perhaps because they have been raptured. (MSB)

K. 13:10. Assurance that God will punish evidoers sustains the faith of those who are persecuted during these days. (RSB)

VI. The Antichrist is described in Revelation 6:1-2, where he is given authority by the Lamb, “the resurrected Christ,” to deceive and conquer the nations. These two verses constitute the first of seven seal judgments of the Tribulation. Following the Seal judgments will be seven trumpet judgments, which will be followed by seven bowl judgments.

Paul Wilbur – Shalom Jerusalem – See video details at the foot of this page.

The Book Of Isaiah.

Purpose of Writing: The Prophet Isaiah was primarily called to prophesy to the Kingdom of Judah. Judah was going through times of revival and times of rebellion. Judah was threatened with destruction by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared because of God’s mercy. Isaiah proclaimed a message of repentance from sin and hopeful expectation of God’s deliverance in the future. (gotquestions.org)

MacArthur Note. This section pictures conditions during the future day of the Lord. The tribulation period before Christ’s return will be the time for these judgmental horrors.  

Israel In Isaiah, 2:10-22, 760 B.C.

Dates come from the Scofield Study Bible (1909).

Full text. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+2%3A10-22&version=NASB   

2:12. For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.

Ryrie Note. “a day of reckoning.” The Day of the Lord. A time of God’s judgment, referring to Babylon’s coming conquest of Judah, and similar to events before the second coming of Christ.

2:19. Men will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the ground
Before the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.

Ryrie Note. See Revelation 6:15, which vividly describes the desperate actions of people in the coming tribulation days:

6:15. Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

6:16. and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

Ryrie Note. 6:16. When the Tribulation comes, men will act as if they believe the end of the world is at hand, not simply talk as it were.

Ryrie Note. This Tribulation judgment is part of the Sixth seal: physical disturbances. Revelation 6:12-17.

6:12. These cosmic disturbances are predicted elsewhere in Scripture (Isaiah 34:4; Joel 2:20-31; Matthew 24:29).

God in Isaiah 2:12-22.

“LORD” (all capital letters). 2:12, 2:17, 2:21.

LORD. (Yahweh) 3068: the proper name of the God of Israel. https://biblehub.com/lexicon/isaiah/2-12.htm

Yeshua Ha Mashiach by Paul Wilbur. See video notes below.

The Book Of Isaiah.

Purpose of Writing: The Prophet Isaiah was primarily called to prophesy to the Kingdom of Judah. Judah was going through times of revival and times of rebellion. Judah was threatened with destruction by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared because of God’s mercy.

Isaiah 2:1-4, 760 B.C., The Glory Of The Future Kingdom.

1 The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Now it will come about that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established as the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.
3 And many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us concerning His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the law will go forth from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And He will judge between the nations,
And will render decisions for many peoples;
And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war.

2:4. “…and they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks…” (The Millennium).

Ryrie note. 2:2-4. As in Micah 4:1-5, a description of the millennial kingdom. God’s government will be established over all of this world; Gentiles (nations) and Jews (peoples) will do the will of God; justice, and peace will reign.

Ryrie note. 2:4 plowshares. The iron tips of plows. See Joel 3:10 for the reverse.

Joel 3:10, 800 B.C., “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears;…” The Tribulation.

Context: Joel 3:9-17.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joel+3%3A9-17&version=NASB

Ryrie note. 3:9-17. A description of the campaign of Armageddon (Rev 16:14). Mic 4:3, the reverse of verse 10, can not be fulfilled until Armageddon. “Your mighty ones” (v 11). The Lord’s armies (Rev 19:14). The wicked are a “harvest…ripe” (v 13) for judgment (cf. Rev 14:18-19).

Consummation: Joel 3:18.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joel+3%3A18&version=NASB

Ryrie note. 3:18. “in that day.” The day of Messiah’s reign in His earthly millennial kingdom.

Micah 4:1-5, 710 B.C., The Glories Of The Kingdom.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah+4%3A1-5&version=NASB

Micah 4:3, “…Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks;…” (The Millennium)

Ryrie note. 4:1-3. Almost identical to Isa 2:2-4, this passage describes the glories of the millennial Kingdom. “the mountain of the house of the Lord.” Jerusalem and the Temple on Mount Zion, which will be the center of the government of the kingdom. “as the chief.” Lit., at the head (of lesser governmental divisions). “render decisions.” Arbitrate.

Ryrie note. 4:4. “sit under his vine…fig tree.” Evidence of peace and security in the kingdom age.

Judah was threatened with destruction by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared because of God’s mercy. Isaiah proclaimed a message of repentance from sin and hopeful expectation of God’s deliverance in the future. (gotquestions.org)

Dates come from Scofield Study Bible (1909).

Israel In Isaiah, 1:1, 760 B.C. “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.”

Note. The book of Isaiah was written by a Jewish prophet, to Jewish people, about Jewish things, many of them relating to the end times. When citing verses from Isaiah, it is important to remember their Jewish context.

Isaiah In Israel:1:2-9, 760 B.C. “They have despised the Holy One of Israel”

Note. (v 4).Ryrie note. “God’s Sons (Israel) have turned against the Lord.”https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1%3A2-9&version=NASB  

Israel in Isaiah, 1:9, 760 B.C. “Unless the Lord of hosts, Had left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah. ” 

Note. Paul cited this verse in Rom 9:29. The verse relates to the Tribulation, Romans 9:27, 11:26. [Moody Bible Commentary, “God was keeping His promises to Israel, and was doing so … through the remnant of Israel, meaning God was selecting some, but not all, of the physical descendants of Abraham to be in a right covenantal standing with Him, including salvation.]

Israel In Isaiah, 1:10-15. 760 B.C. vs 14 “I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.” 

Note. v 11 Israel’ sacrifices, vs 13-14 religious festivals,  v 15 prayers were shams. God was not repudiating the sacrificial system (which He had established) but was condemning religious pretense. See Lev 23 for the feasts of God (Yahweh). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1%3A10-15&version=NASB  

Israel In Isaiah, 1:16-23, 760 B.C. v 18, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow;”

Note. God continues His indictment of Israel.” [Re:scarlet ; crimson: The two colors speak of the guilt of those whose hands were “full of blood” (v 15). Fullness of blood speaks of extreme iniquity and perversity.. white as snow ;as wool. Snow and wool are substances that are naturally white, and therefore portray what is clean, the blood-guilt (v 15) having been removed. Forgiveness is not unconditional. It comes through repentance as v 19 indicates.]
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1%3A16-23&version=NASB

Israel In Isaiah, 1:24-31, 760 BC. V26 “After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city.

Note. V27  Zion will be redeemed with justice.” Ryrie note. These prophecies will be fulfilled in the millennial kingdom.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1%3A23-31&version=NASB
