Isaiah 14                                                          Book of Isaiah    

 

Isaiah 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

• Jacob, All Tribes of Israel
• Everyone will be blessed by God
• Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

• To teach, to lead, to share

3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

• Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

• God will put a stop to Satan

5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

• The Lord has taken over, all the earth
• Man has always wanted to take the place of God

6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

• No one is going to stop God, God's plan will happen

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

• Same as Thanksgiving, The earth is at peace, Christ is our Sabbath
• Sabbath = rest = Put your rest in Christ
• The lord is with us

8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

• The Assyrian, Satan was a cedar in Lebanon, (Box cedar)
• Ezekiel 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
  4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
  5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
  6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
  7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
  8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
  9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
  10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
  11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
• Satan think he was better than anyone

9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

• The dead for thee = Jude 1-6 False angels

10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

• He thinks he is so powerful, but he's a man

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

• Outside Jerusalem, He's covered with worms, in the grave = he's dead

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

• The fall of Satan
• Lucifer, son of the morning, he's a copycat, he wanted to be God
• Son of the morning means morning star, in a sense.
• Do not be confused by this
• Christ is the morning star.
• Satan is the imposter.
• Who weakens the nations?
• The king of Babylon, Satan
• He's the anti-christ
• Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
  19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

• Mount Zion, The dwelling place of God.
• Satan will arise in Jerusalem saying, I am God
• Do you see the impostor?
• Satan boasted he would take the place of God.

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

• Satan's saying, I will be like God, The Most High
• 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

• God is speaking, I will bring you down to hell, the sides of the pit.
• Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
  3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

• The people will be saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble and the kingdoms to shake.

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

• Satan's did not give anyone a change

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

• Or, they rest in their own place or grave.

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

 

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

• Cain was a city builder

22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.

• God is saying, I'm going to cut off confusion
• Babylon means confusion

23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

• Besom, OT:4292 a broom, "to dust"
• I will sweep it with the broom (to dust) of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

• My Plan, My word, this is how it's going to be
• God knows how things are going to end
• I'm going to destroy Satan

25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

• The Assyrian, another name for Satan
• Daniel 7, more of Satan's names
• I'm going to destroy Satan

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

• The Lord is in control, God's hand, Is going to be on,  All the earth
• They will know, My hand, that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

• The Lord is in control, Who shall disannul it?
• Nobody, can turn His hand back

28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

• When God speaks, It's time to listen

• He offer his own son up to Moab and burn him alive, in the name of Religion.

29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestine, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

• This is the rod, I will use to correct Babylon, It's God that does this

30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

• The firstborn, God's Elect
• Wickedness, they are not going to be around

31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestine, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

• Whose on the North Side? Satan
• Verse 13, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north

32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

• Those that were the first fruits, God's Elect
