00:15 Hello and welcome back to His Words Are Life.
00:18 I am Kelly Mowrer and today 00:19 we are going to be reading from the book of Isaiah. 00:22 But let's pray together before we start. 00:24 Dear heavenly Father, please come 00:27 and be with us right now in a special way. 00:30 Thank you for this opportunity 00:31 to hear Your word which is light in life. 00:35 Please send Your Holy Spirit to show us the message 00:39 and the meaning that You have for us personally 00:42 in what we will read today. 00:44 We love You so much and thank you 00:45 for loving us, amen. 00:48 Reading in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 15, verse 1, 00:52 this is the King James Version. 00:55 "The burden of Moab. 00:57 Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, 01:01 and brought to silence, 01:03 because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, 01:07 and brought to silence, He is gone up in Bajith, 01:11 and to Dibon, the high places, to weep, 01:14 Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba, 01:18 on all their heads shall be baldness, 01:20 and every beard cut off. 01:22 In their streets they shall gird themselves 01:24 with sackcloth, on the tops of their houses, 01:28 and in their streets, every one shall howl, 01:30 weeping abundantly. 01:32 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh, 01:35 their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz, 01:37 therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out, 01:41 his life shall be grievous unto him. 01:44 My heart shall cry out for Moab, 01:46 his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, 01:49 an heifer of three years old, 01:51 for by the mounting up of Luhith 01:53 with weeping shall they go it up, 01:57 for in the way of Horonaim 01:59 they shall raise up a cry of destruction. 02:02 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate, 02:05 for the hay is withered away, 02:06 the grass faileth, there is no green thing. 02:09 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, 02:12 and that which they have laid up, 02:14 shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 02:17 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab, 02:20 the howling thereof unto Eglaim, 02:23 and the howling thereof unto Beerelim. 02:26 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood, 02:28 for I will bring more upon Dimon, 02:31 lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, 02:34 and upon the remnant of the land." 02:36 We're continuing with Isaiah Chapter 16, 02:39 this is the King James Version. 02:43 "Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land 02:45 from Sela to the wilderness, 02:47 unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 02:50 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird 02:53 cast out of the nest, 02:54 so the daughters of Moab 02:56 shall be at the fords of Arnon. 02:59 Take counsel, execute judgment, 03:01 make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday, 03:05 hide the outcasts, bewray not him that wandereth. 03:10 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab, 03:14 be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler, 03:18 for the extortioner is at an end, 03:21 the spoiler ceaseth, 03:23 the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 03:27 And in mercy shall the throne be established, 03:29 and he shall sit upon it in truth 03:32 in the tabernacle of David, judging, 03:34 and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. 03:38 We have heard of the pride of Moab, 03:41 he is very proud, even of his haughtiness, 03:44 and his pride, and his wrath, 03:46 but his lies shall not be so. 03:50 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, 03:52 every one shall howl, 03:54 for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn, 03:58 surely they are stricken. 04:00 For the fields of Heshbon languish, 04:02 and the vine of Sibmah, 04:04 the lords of the heathen have broken down 04:06 the principal plants thereof, 04:08 they are come even unto Jazer, 04:10 they wandered through the wilderness, 04:12 her branches are stretched out, 04:14 they are gone over the sea. 04:16 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer 04:19 the vine of Sibmah, 04:21 I will water thee with my tears, 04:23 O Heshbon, and Elealeh, 04:25 for the shouting for thy summer fruits 04:27 and for thy harvest is fallen. 04:30 And gladness is taken away, 04:32 and joy out of the plentiful field, 04:35 and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, 04:37 neither shall there be shouting, 04:39 the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses, 04:43 I have made their vintage shouting to cease. 04:46 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, 04:50 and mine inward parts for Kirharesh. 04:54 And it shall come to pass, 04:55 when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, 04:59 that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray, 05:02 but he shall not prevail. 05:04 This is the word that the Lord hath spoken 05:06 concerning Moab since that time. 05:09 But now the Lord hath spoken, 05:11 saying, within three years, 05:12 as the years of an hireling, 05:14 and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, 05:16 with all that great multitude, 05:19 and the remnant shall be very small and feeble." 05:23 Continuing with Isaiah Chapter 17. 05:27 "The burden of Damascus. 05:30 Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, 05:33 and it shall be a ruinous heap. 05:36 The cities of Aroer are forsaken, 05:39 they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, 05:41 and none shall make them afraid. 05:43 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, 05:46 and the kingdom from Damascus, 05:47 and the remnant of Syria, 05:49 they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, 05:52 saith the Lord of hosts. 05:54 And in that day it shall come to pass, 05:55 that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, 05:58 and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 06:03 And it shall be as when the harvestman 06:05 gathereth the corn, 06:06 and reapeth the ears with his arm, 06:10 and it shall be as he that gathereth ears 06:12 in the valley of Rephaim. 06:15 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, 06:18 as the shaking of an olive tree, 06:20 two or three berries 06:21 in the top of the uppermost bough, 06:23 four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, 06:26 saith the Lord God of Israel. 06:29 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, 06:31 and his eyes shall have respect 06:33 to the Holy One of Israel. 06:35 And he shall not look to the altars, 06:38 the work of his hands, 06:40 neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, 06:43 either the groves, or the images. 06:46 In that day shall his strong cities 06:48 be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, 06:53 which they left because of the children of Israel, 06:55 and there shall be desolation. 06:58 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, 07:01 and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, 07:05 therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, 07:08 and shalt set it with strange slips. 07:12 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, 07:14 and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish, 07:17 but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief 07:22 and of desperate sorrow. 07:24 Woe to the multitude of many people, 07:26 which make a noise like the noise of the seas, 07:29 and to the rushing of nations, 07:31 that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 07:35 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters, 07:38 but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, 07:41 and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains 07:44 before the wind, and like a rolling thing 07:46 before the whirlwind. 07:48 And behold at eveningtide trouble, 07:51 and before the morning he is not. 07:54 This is the portion of them that spoil us, 07:58 and the lot of them that rob us." 08:01 Continuing to read from the Book of Isaiah, 08:03 Chapter 18, and this is the King James Version. 08:08 "Woe to the land shadowing with wings, 08:11 which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, 08:14 that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, 08:16 even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, 08:20 'Go, ye swift messengers, 08:21 to a nation scattered and peeled, 08:24 to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto, 08:27 a nation meted out and trodden down, 08:29 whose land the rivers have spoiled!' 08:33 All ye inhabitants of the world, 08:35 and dwellers on the earth, see ye, 08:38 when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains, 08:40 and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 08:43 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, 08:47 and I will consider in my dwelling place 08:49 like a clear heat upon herbs, 08:52 and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 08:55 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, 08:58 and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, 09:02 he shall both cut off the sprigs 09:04 with pruning hooks, and take away 09:06 and cut down the branches. 09:09 They shall be left together 09:10 unto the fowls of the mountains, 09:12 and to the beasts of the earth, 09:13 and the fowls shall summer upon them, 09:16 and all the beasts of the earth 09:17 shall winter upon them. 09:20 In that time shall the present 09:22 be brought unto the Lord of hosts 09:24 of a people scattered and peeled, 09:27 and from a people terrible 09:29 from their beginning hitherto, 09:31 a nation meted out and trodden under foot, 09:35 whose land the rivers have spoiled, 09:38 to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, 09:40 the mount Zion." 09:43 Continuing to read Isaiah Chapter 19, 09:45 this is the King James Version. 09:48 "The burden of Egypt. 09:51 Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, 09:53 and shall come into Egypt, 09:55 and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, 09:58 and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 10:01 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians, 10:05 and they shall fight every one against his brother, 10:07 and every one against his neighbour, 10:09 city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 10:14 And the spirit of Egypt 10:15 shall fail in the midst thereof, 10:16 and I will destroy the counsel thereof, 10:18 and they shall seek to the idols, 10:21 and to the charmers, 10:22 and to them that have familiar spirits, 10:25 and to the wizards. 10:26 And the Egyptians will I give over 10:28 into the hand of a cruel Lord, 10:30 and a fierce king shall rule over them, 10:32 saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts. 10:35 And the waters shall fail from the sea, 10:37 and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 10:40 And they shall turn the rivers far away, 10:43 and the brooks of defence 10:45 shall be emptied and dried up, 10:47 the reeds and flags shall wither. 10:50 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, 10:53 and every thing sown by the brooks, 10:55 shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. 10:59 The fishers also shall mourn, 11:01 and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, 11:06 and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 11:11 Moreover they that work in fine flax, 11:14 and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. 11:18 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, 11:22 all that make sluices and ponds for fish. 11:26 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, 11:29 the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh 11:31 is become brutish, how say ye unto Pharaoh, 11:36 I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 11:39 Where are they? Where are thy wise men? 11:43 And let them tell thee now, 11:44 and let them know what the Lord of hosts 11:46 hath purposed upon Egypt. 11:50 The princes of Zoan are become fools, 11:52 the princes of Noph are deceived, 11:55 they have also seduced Egypt, 11:57 even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. 12:01 The Lord hath mingled 12:02 a perverse spirit in the midst thereof, 12:04 and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, 12:08 as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 12:12 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, 12:14 which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. 12:19 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women, 12:21 and it shall be afraid and fear 12:23 because of the shaking of the hand 12:25 of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 12:28 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, 12:31 every one that maketh mention thereof 12:33 shall be afraid in himself, 12:35 because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, 12:38 which he hath determined against it. 12:41 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt 12:44 speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts, 12:48 one shall be called, the city of destruction. 12:52 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord 12:54 in the midst of the land of Egypt, 12:55 and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. 12:59 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness 13:01 unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt, 13:04 for they shall cry unto the Lord 13:06 because of the oppressors, 13:07 and he shall send them a Saviour, 13:09 and a great one, and he shall deliver them. 13:13 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, 13:15 and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, 13:18 and shall do sacrifice and oblation, 13:21 yea, they shall vow a vow 13:23 unto the Lord, and perform it. 13:26 And the Lord shall smite Egypt, he shall smite and heal it, 13:31 and they shall return even to the Lord, 13:33 and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. 13:37 In that day shall there be a highway 13:39 out of Egypt to Assyria, 13:41 and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, 13:44 and the Egyptian into Assyria, 13:46 and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 13:50 In that day shall Israel be the third 13:52 with Egypt and with Assyria, 13:53 even a blessing in the midst of the land, 13:56 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, 13:58 'Blessed be Egypt my people, 14:00 and Assyria the work of my hands, 14:03 and Israel mine inheritance.'" 14:06 Continuing with Isaiah Chapter 20. 14:09 "In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, 14:12 when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, 14:14 and fought against Ashdod, and took it. 14:17 At the same time spake the Lord 14:19 by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, 14:20 'Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, 14:24 and put off thy shoe from thy foot.' 14:27 And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 14:30 And the Lord said, 'Like as my servant 14:33 Isaiah hath walked naked 14:34 and barefoot three years for a sign 14:37 and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia.'" |
