Isaiah 56
Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my
salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it;
that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any
evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord,
speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let
the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the
things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a
name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name,
that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him,
and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the
Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to My Holy Mountain, and make them joyful in my house
of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon
mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather
others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they
cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds
that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain,
from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong
drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
• 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)
