Isaiah 32
Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and
princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a
covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as
the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears
of them that hear shall hearken.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the
tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl
said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will
work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against
the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will
cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked
devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the
needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things
shall he stand.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless
daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women:
for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless
ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your
loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for
the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;
yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
-
Thorns and briers = wicked
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the
city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for
ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the
wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be
counted for a forest.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and
righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect
of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in
sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
-
You can have that peace of mind today, If you're
doing things God's ways
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city
shall be low in a low place.

Matthew 24:Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed
from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him
the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall
not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and
what shall be the
sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world?
20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth
thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
• 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)
