Isaiah 66

The Lord Will Come With Fire

15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. 20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Isaiah 5

He Will Lift Up an Ensign

Isaiah chapter 5 is one of those passages that it is easy to look at and see nothing. Like so much of the prophets it can feel as if our eyes are passing over the words but they are not connecting with anything. It reads like a litany of complaints about the people of Israel and, surprise, surprise, what’s going to happen to them because they are too stiff-necked to repent.

Bible commentaries make a lot of connections between Isaiah 5 and other prophecies but it appears that no one makes a connection to Revelation and the plagues of the Tribulation. The connection would appear to be obvious from the context given us in v. 30: the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Let’s break it down


Isaiah 5:15-16, 26-29

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

( Isaiah 5:15-16 ) KJV

This verse clearly the 5th and 6th trumpet/vials. There is another section of this chapter which refers to this event. It is a description of an army which is coming. It is easy to suppose that this refers to an imminent situation faced by the inhabitants at that time, but it will be placed into its correct context by the last verse of the chapter.

26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

( Isaiah 5:26-29 ) KJV

And in those days shall men seek death,

Isaiah 5:24-25

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

( Isaiah 5:24-25 ) KJV

This part is rather vague and could easily be simply a reference to the present circumstances, however, the context is given later at the end of the chapter.

Isaiah 2

The Mountain of the Lord’s House

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

( Isaiah 2:1-5 ) KJV

Now that we understand that during the time of the Tribulation the whole surface of the earth will be moved around, flattened out, and Jerusalem will be lifted up as the summit of a mountain which fills the whole earth, we can understand a lot more scripture besides the prophecy in Revelation.

Stoicheia tou Kosmou

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

(Colossians 2:8) KJV

The periodic table of elements is an example of stoichiometry. Considering the use of the word stoicheia in Colossians 2:8, we can do some simple deduction based on Genesis 1:2 and resolve the Holy Trinity as a chemical formula.

Conception: καταβολῆς – katabole

Hydroxyl (OH-) and Hydrogen (H+) form an unstable plasma called water.

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

(Matthew 13:34-35) KJV

In Genesis 1:2 we have all three aspects of the Holy Trinity if you accept the premise that the deep, pure water, is God the Son who later lived as Jesus of Nazareth.

Introducing Sophia Proton

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Highest part: וְ֝רֹ֗אשׁ – rosh

before God made the earth and its fields
or even the first handful of soil.

(Proverbs 8:26) Good News Translation

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

(Proverbs 8:26) King James Version

IF Eden was at the top of a mountain that filled the whole Earth, and a river from Eden watered the surface of the whole land, THEN the concept of elevation will be found in the scriptural context.

Circle, sphere: ח֣וּג – chug

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

(Isaiah 40:22) ESV

Flat earthers claim that the use of the Hebrew word chug, for circle, in Isaiah 40:22 means that the Earth has to be a flat disk. The idea being that if the Earth was a sphere then the Hebrew word for ball should have been used.

Outer Darkness

I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(Matthew 8:11-12) ESV

Outer darkness is only referred to three times in scripture, but by using context we can establish what and where it is. The easiest thing to take for context is the gnashing of teeth, which occurs nine times in the Bible.
