Isaiah 33:1-6<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 33:1-24 is a continuation from chapter 32, where dependence upon Egypt (worldly power, wealth, weapons, etc) for relief from Assyrian attack leads to disaster. Again, we are reminded how the only One on whom we should trust in the Lord! The commentaries state that the most likely historical context for this chapter is between the time when the tribute was paid to Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:13\u201316) and when the final attack upon Jerusalem had begun. So what is happening here, the people try to buy off the invading army and it does not succeed, Egypt is no help, and Hezekiah is leading the people to repentance and turning from their idols but he still has some issues related to not completely trusting in the Lord according to 2 Kings 18:13-16. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Kings 18:13\u201316  <\/b>
18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 18:14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 18:15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king\u2019s house. 18:16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. (KJV)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So here we see a tragedy where Hezekiah desecrated the temple of God in order to find peace, Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord removed and given to the king of Assyria. This is what happens when one does not fully trust in the Lord. Sin leads to the destruction of the temple of God. We notice the parallels here to the NT text and what Paul writes in the book of Romans if we consider to be true that our bodies are the Temple of God. Remember how our bodies are the place in which God\u2019s Holy Spirit dwells, for those who believe. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significance of these things is related to the importance of God\u2019s Word in our lives, that we listen and choose to live our lives for Him. The Word of God is supposed to perform or do something in our lives. The point is that when we receive the Word of God, we accept it and believe and trust, etc. There is a process: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The reason Paul writes what he does is because he understands that we are not animals (brute beasts) we are created in the image of God, and so we are able to communicate with God and He with us. This communication through His Word (\u05d4\u05ea\u05e0\u2019\u05db\u05d9\u05ea) is supposed to lead to spiritual change and life in a man. It is for this reason that God is deeply concerned with how well we listen because our bodies are the dwelling place of God! Paul goes on saying the following to describe what happens when a man chooses or refuses to listen. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.

    Paul goes on speaking of holding the truth in unrighteousness and that the wrath of God is revealed in them who have heard the word of God and rejected it. These truths that we find in Devarim \/ Deuteronomy 28:14-68 are being revealed in them by His wrath. We note how the Lord is working to reveal His truth regardless of who we are, whether we are a people of faith or not. The wrath of God is designed to demonstrate the truth of God in His Word! Here we are told that when one rejects God\u2019s word, if they profess to be wise, they are become fools, and when they change the glory of God to an idol, He gives them over to uncleanness and defilement of God\u2019s temple, to the extent of dishonoring their own bodies through their lusts. Paul then explains further what happens when one does not trust in the Lord, there is a danger of losing one\u2019s mind and mental faculties. Losing the ability to discern the truth, to discern between right and wrong, and to become completely given over to confusion truly believing the error of their ways as truth. Paul describes these things in the following way:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Romans 1:26\u201332  <\/b>
    1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

    Here Paul describes the battle for the mind, the error of confusion calling this \u201cvile affections\u201d<\/em><\/span> that go against nature. Men burning in their lust for men, and women for women. Paul states explicitly that \u201cGod gave them over to a reprobate mind\u201d<\/em><\/span> illustrating how the battle is in the mind. It is a spiritual battle where we wage war. The mind is the source of \u201call unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful.\u201d<\/span><\/em> (Romans 1:29-31) We note that all of these things are connected to a mind that is given over to error simply because one refuses to listen to the Lord and take heed to seek forgiveness, to repent, and to turn from sin. In addition, this also draws in king Hezekiah who desecrated the Temple of God, taking the gold off of the doors and such in order to save himself. Notice how when one chooses to save themselves as opposed to trusting in the Lord to save them, the end result is desecration of the Temple of God. These things speak of the former way of thinking for those who believe in Yeshua, who trust in our Father in heaven, and seek to walk in His ways. Isaiah says that when God is called King and treated as a King in our lives, the outcome is deliverance, salvation, and a sound mind! It is important to remember that growing in the Lord, and waiting upon Him takes time and effort. We must put in our own effort and wait on God\u2019s timing. This is what was so difficult for Judah and Jerusalem in Isaiah\u2019s day, their unrepentant sins compounded their lack of trust and lack of hope in the Lord. As a result, the Nation could not wait for the God of Israel and so they took actions into their own hands in order to ensure their own security by making an alliance with Egypt. Just as Paul wrote, because of these things the wrath of God is made manifest in them, and the destroyer will come upon them. Here in the first 7 verses of Isaiah 33:1-7, Isaiah speaks of the destroyer but does not identify who the destroyer is. The reason is that God works out his wrath in a number of ways, for the purpose of what Paul wrote the wrath of God is \u201crevealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Destruction comes in a multitude of ways to illustrate the truth of the Torah. The Lord God keeps the gate to repentance open, so when we truly repent believing in Yeshua the Messiah and seeking our Father in heaven for the forgiveness of sins, he will forgive our sins! Isaiah 33 comes as a response to the people\u2019s response to Hezekiah\u2019s leadership, repentance and seeking the God in heaven. Similarly, our faith in Yeshua coupled to the grace and mercy of God should lead to what Paul is saying here, \u201cwe have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name.\u201d<\/em><\/span> (Romans 1:5) Grace leads to obedience! Can we see how Paul is teaching Torah here in Romans chapter 1? The book of Isaiah, the Tanach, the Torah, all of these ancient texts are consistent with what we know to be true according to the NT text!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Isaiah speaks of a destroyer, one who takes pride in their ability to destroy. The application today may be found in the one who takes pleasure in causing trouble for others. Take for example, are you a manager for a company who enjoys causing employees hardship? Such as in a restaurant when waitresses want the night off because all of the tables are full, do you open a section so she \u201chas\u201d<\/em><\/span> to work causing her to be upset, etc? Doing things like this are synonymous to what we are reading here, dealing treacherously and being a destroyer! Note since this is mentioned in the biblical text, this is a very serious matter! I know of people who do these things and worse and think nothing of it. The Dead Sea Scrolls we find  1QH fragment 5:6 hof: \u05e8\u05d5\u05d7\u05d5\u05ea \u05e2\u05d5\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05e9\u05e8 \u05d9\u05d5\u05e9\u05d3\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d0\u05d1\u05dc \u201cthe spirits of injustice who are devastated and mourn\u201d<\/em><\/span> we can see how this is a serious spiritual issue! From the context of Isaiah, he is speaking of the Assyrians. The Assyrian kingdom, archeology has unearthed their royal annals, their records, and the records indicate how Assyria took great pride in their ability to destroy others, and they had no problem breaking agreements or treaties that they had made if the treaty was no longer to their advantage. We read of the truly wicked nation here that does these things. In the parallel fashion, those who cause hardship and troubles for others, this comes from a truly wicked heart!

(TgJ)<\/em><\/span> We note here that the idea is that those who do these things, who live as a destroyer of others, this very same thing will be returned to them! This will come by divine judgment and this is what Isaiah has said before in Isaiah 10:12\u201319, 10:24\u201325, 14:24\u201327, 30:30\u201333, and 31:8\u20139, that that day is not far distant when destruction and treachery will come back upon Assyria with vengeance. We note what history bears out, Assyria, Babylon, Rome, Germany, Russia, even the United States. There is no eternal absolute power, eventually human power diminishes, and these countries are overcome, it is inevitable! The only One who is eternal is the Lord God of Israel! The wise nation establishes her power in such a way as to trust in the Lord, to make God\u2019s Word his or her foundation! By doing this one will stand strong and not be moved!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the idealistic approach. History bears out though that the people chose to seek Egyptian help believing that if they did not take matters into their own hands they would die. In order to be delivered, one must turn to the Lord (Isaiah 30:18\u201319, 32:14\u201315) and in this passage, there are some that have turned to the Lord seeking His mercy and grace. Note how the people seek the \u201cgrace\u201d<\/em><\/span> \u05d7\u05b8\u05e0\u05bc\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc of God. This illustrates another point, that all of the Scriptures, from the beginning to the end, speak to God\u2019s mercy and grace, and salvation by faith! There is no concept of man earning his salvation under the Law, everything, including the NT text, speaks to the context of being faithful to God by how we live our lives. The reason is that our actions demonstrate the truthfulness of our faith and beliefs. This may be the attitude of the people to Isaiah, as needing to turn to the Lord, and Isaiah proclaiming, this is how you should seek the Lord, humble yourself and ask for his grace! This kind of attitude is the outcome of when one recognizes the lordship of God over our lives. Once one realizes this one is led to Teshuvah. When we study the Torah, the five books of Moshe, we quickly see the Lordship of the Lord over all of creation. This is the significance of reading God\u2019s Word, for the purpose of our learning who God is, and recognizing His kingship! This is why we read Paul saying that the Torah leads us to the Messiah of God in Galatians 3:24. The point is that the Torah leads us to Teshuvah, Restoration, and Reconstruction. This means that we Repent, we Return to the Lord, and our lives change! These are the basic NT concepts that we find by faith in the Yeshua the Messiah. This phrase \u05d4\u05b1\u05d9\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d6\u05b0\u05e8\u05b9\u05e2\u05b8\u05dd \u05dc\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b8\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u201cbe their arm in the mornings\u201d<\/em><\/span> speaks of continual renewal, that each day the Lord will be our strength, and our strength which is renewed each day! This is the glory and power of God in our lives who renews us and empowers us each day! This is paralleled to our salvation in times of distress. This is also paralleled to our receiving <\/span>
    <\/span>His peace that surpasses all understanding! (Philippians 4:7) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
