Isaiah 25
Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 25:1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
truth.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of
strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
nations shall fear thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the
terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even
the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be
brought low.
6 And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of
fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines
on the lees well refined.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all
people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all
the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad
and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be
trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth
spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together
with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low,
and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
