OUR FATHER WHO WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON HIS PEOPLE

The book of Isaiah chapter 14 verses 1 - 3 foretells of the day that the Lord will have compassion on Israel and at that moment, the state of affairs will undergo an inversion. The passage reads like this;

The Lord will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land.

Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob.

Nations will take them and bring them to their own place.

And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.

They will make captives of their captors  and rule over their oppressors.

On the day the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you, You will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon.

Israel will have foreign nations join and support them even as the kingdom of darkness tries gain permanent  control the Lord's people.

The nations that oppressed God's people will be brought under the ownership of Israel.

On this day, Israel (and the spiritual kingdom of Israel),  freed by the Lord from the dominance of the kingdom of darkness, will take up a taunt against her oppressor that is recorded in Isaiah chapter 14 verses  5 - 20.

The taunt will tell of the sudden fall of the kingdom of darkness where the king of Babylon will be exposed for what he actually is.

The whole of  creation will wonder why they feared him when they see him under the judgement of the Lord.

Amen.
