Hello and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.32\00:00:18.18
I am Kelly Mowrer, and today
00:00:18.19\00:00:19.45
we are going to continue
reading together in Isaiah.
00:00:19.46\00:00:22.23
But let's pray before we start.
00:00:22.24\00:00:24.73
Dear Father in
heaven, thank you so much
00:00:24.74\00:00:26.72
for these beautiful words
that You have preserved for us
00:00:26.73\00:00:30.63
down through the centuries.
00:00:30.64\00:00:32.60
Now please send Your Holy Spirit
00:00:32.61\00:00:34.23
to bring
understanding to our hearts
00:00:34.24\00:00:36.34
as we read them today
00:00:36.35\00:00:38.20
and may they be
a light to our path
00:00:38.21\00:00:40.81
and guide us in the way
You would have us to walk.
00:00:40.82\00:00:43.02
We love you so much
00:00:43.03\00:00:44.00
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:44.01\00:00:47.43
Reading in the book
of Isaiah Chapter 10
00:00:47.44\00:00:50.42
beginning with verse 33
00:00:50.43\00:00:52.36
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:52.37\00:00:55.89
"Behold, the
Lord, the Lord of hosts,
00:00:55.90\00:00:59.57
shall lop the bough with terror,
00:00:59.58\00:01:02.48
and the high ones of
stature shall be hewn down,
00:01:02.49\00:01:05.05
and the haughty
one shall be humbled.
00:01:05.06\00:01:07.87
And he shall cut
down the thickets
00:01:07.88\00:01:09.23
of the forest with iron,
00:01:09.24\00:01:11.07
and Lebanon shall
fall by a mighty one.
00:01:11.08\00:01:15.59
We're continuing
with Isaiah Chapter 11,
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.79
this is the King James Version.
00:01:17.80\00:01:20.93
And there shall come forth a rod
00:01:20.94\00:01:23.39
out of the stem of Jesse,
00:01:23.40\00:01:25.85
and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots,
00:01:25.86\00:01:28.35
and the spirit of the
Lord shall rest upon him,
00:01:28.36\00:01:31.24
the spirit of
wisdom and understanding,
00:01:31.25\00:01:34.27
the spirit of counsel and might,
00:01:34.28\00:01:36.68
the spirit of knowledge
and of the fear of the Lord,
00:01:36.69\00:01:40.60
and shall make him
of quick understanding
00:01:40.61\00:01:43.09
in the fear of the Lord,
00:01:43.10\00:01:44.34
and he shall not judge
after the sight of his eyes,
00:01:44.35\00:01:47.62
neither reprove after
the hearing of his ears,
00:01:47.63\00:01:49.55
but with righteousness
shall he judge the poor,
00:01:49.56\00:01:52.89
and reprove with equity
for the meek of the earth,
00:01:52.90\00:01:56.79
and he shall smite the
earth with the rod of his mouth,
00:01:56.80\00:01:59.42
and with the breath of his lips
00:01:59.43\00:02:00.55
shall he slay the wicked.
00:02:00.56\00:02:02.57
And righteousness shall
be the girdle of his loins,
00:02:02.58\00:02:05.11
and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
00:02:05.12\00:02:08.37
The wolf also shall
dwell with the lamb,
00:02:08.38\00:02:11.05
and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid,
00:02:11.06\00:02:13.75
and the calf and the young lion
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.23
and the fatling together,
00:02:15.24\00:02:17.17
and a little
child shall lead them.
00:02:17.18\00:02:20.39
And the cow and
the bear shall feed,
00:02:20.40\00:02:22.90
their young ones
shall lie down together,
00:02:22.91\00:02:25.78
and the lion shall
eat straw like the ox.
00:02:25.79\00:02:29.35
And the sucking child
00:02:29.36\00:02:30.40
shall play on
the hole of the asp,
00:02:30.41\00:02:32.84
and the weaned child
00:02:32.85\00:02:33.90
shall put his hand
on the cockatrice' den.
00:02:33.91\00:02:37.00
They shall not hurt
00:02:37.01\00:02:38.30
nor destroy in
all my holy mountain,
00:02:38.31\00:02:41.68
for the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the Lord,
00:02:41.69\00:02:45.11
as the waters cover the sea.
00:02:45.12\00:02:47.65
And in that day there
shall be a root of Jesse,
00:02:47.66\00:02:50.73
which shall stand for
an ensign of the people,
00:02:50.74\00:02:54.02
to it shall the Gentiles seek,
00:02:54.03\00:02:56.39
and his rest shall be glorious.
00:02:56.40\00:02:59.18
And it shall come
to pass in that day,
00:02:59.19\00:03:00.86
that the Lord shall set his hand
00:03:00.87\00:03:02.45
again the second time
00:03:02.46\00:03:04.29
to recover the
remnant of his people,
00:03:04.30\00:03:06.03
which shall be
left, from Assyria,
00:03:06.04\00:03:08.24
and from Egypt,
and from Pathros,
00:03:08.25\00:03:10.24
and from Cush, and from Elam,
00:03:10.25\00:03:11.70
and from
Shinar, and from Hamath,
00:03:11.71\00:03:13.67
and from the islands of the sea.
00:03:13.68\00:03:16.11
And he shall set up an
ensign for the nations,
00:03:16.12\00:03:17.94
and shall assemble
the outcasts of Israel,
00:03:17.95\00:03:20.87
and shall gather
together the dispersed of Judah
00:03:20.88\00:03:23.57
from the four
corners of the earth.
00:03:23.58\00:03:26.36
The envy also of
Ephraim shall depart,
00:03:26.37\00:03:29.34
and the adversaries of
Judah shall be cut off,
00:03:29.35\00:03:33.06
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
00:03:33.07\00:03:35.42
and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
00:03:35.43\00:03:38.88
But they shall
fly upon the shoulders
00:03:38.89\00:03:40.80
of the
Philistines toward the west,
00:03:40.81\00:03:42.47
they shall spoil
them of the east together,
00:03:42.48\00:03:45.12
they shall lay their
hand upon Edom and Moab,
00:03:45.13\00:03:47.41
and the children of
Ammon shall obey them.
00:03:47.42\00:03:50.30
And the Lord
shall utterly destroy
00:03:50.31\00:03:52.41
the tongue of the Egyptian sea,
00:03:52.42\00:03:54.80
and with his mighty wind
00:03:54.81\00:03:56.25
shall he shake his
hand over the river,
00:03:56.26\00:03:58.65
and shall smite it
in the seven streams,
00:03:58.66\00:04:01.05
and make men go over dryshod.
00:04:01.06\00:04:04.59
And there shall be an highway
00:04:04.60\00:04:05.99
for the remnant of his people,
00:04:06.00\00:04:07.62
which shall be
left, from Assyria,
00:04:07.63\00:04:10.14
like as it was
to Israel in the day
00:04:10.15\00:04:12.08
that he came up out
of the land of Egypt."
00:04:12.09\00:04:16.84
Continuing in
Isaiah, Chapter 12,
00:04:16.85\00:04:19.15
this is the King James Version.
00:04:19.16\00:04:22.07
"And in that day thou shalt say,
00:04:22.08\00:04:23.88
O Lord, I will praise thee,
00:04:23.89\00:04:27.17
though thou wast angry with me,
00:04:27.18\00:04:29.59
thine anger is turned
away, and thou comfortedst me.
00:04:29.60\00:04:33.90
Behold, God is my salvation,
00:04:33.91\00:04:37.40
I will trust, and not be afraid,
00:04:37.41\00:04:40.91
for the Lord Jehovah is
my strength and my song,
00:04:40.92\00:04:45.50
he also is become my salvation.
00:04:45.51\00:04:48.86
Therefore with joy
shall ye draw water
00:04:48.87\00:04:52.08
out of the wells of salvation.
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.78
And in that day shall ye say,
00:04:54.79\00:04:56.13
Praise the Lord,
call upon his name,
00:04:56.14\00:04:59.11
declare his
doings among the people,
00:04:59.12\00:05:01.97
make mention that
his name is exalted.
00:05:01.98\00:05:04.66
Sing unto the Lord,
00:05:04.67\00:05:06.32
for he hath done
excellent things,
00:05:06.33\00:05:08.78
this is known in all the earth.
00:05:08.79\00:05:11.01
Cry out and shout,
thou inhabitant of Zion,
00:05:11.02\00:05:14.49
for great is the Holy One of
Israel in the midst of thee."
00:05:14.50\00:05:19.10
Continuing with
Isaiah, Chapter 13,
00:05:19.11\00:05:21.56
this is the King James Version.
00:05:21.57\00:05:24.66
"The burden of Babylon,
00:05:24.67\00:05:25.87
which Isaiah the
son of Amoz did see.
00:05:25.88\00:05:28.96
Lift ye up a banner
upon the high mountain,
00:05:28.97\00:05:31.54
exalt the voice unto
them, shake the hand,
00:05:31.55\00:05:34.35
that they may go into
the gates of the nobles.
00:05:34.36\00:05:37.33
I have commanded
my sanctified ones,
00:05:37.34\00:05:39.89
I have also called my
mighty ones for mine anger,
00:05:39.90\00:05:43.66
even them that
rejoice in my highness.
00:05:43.67\00:05:46.94
The noise of a
multitude in the mountains,
00:05:46.95\00:05:49.34
like as of a great people,
00:05:49.35\00:05:51.80
a tumultuous noise of
the kingdoms of nations
00:05:51.81\00:05:54.71
gathered together,
00:05:54.72\00:05:56.35
the Lord of hosts mustereth
the host of the battle.
00:05:56.36\00:06:00.78
They come from a far
country, from the end of heaven,
00:06:00.79\00:06:04.05
even the Lord, and the weapons
00:06:04.06\00:06:05.95
of his indignation, to
destroy the whole land.
00:06:05.96\00:06:09.80
Howl ye, for the day
of the Lord is at hand,
00:06:09.81\00:06:13.37
it shall come as a destruction
00:06:13.38\00:06:15.51
from the Almighty.
00:06:15.52\00:06:17.81
Therefore shall
all hands be faint,
00:06:17.82\00:06:20.63
and every man's
heart shall melt,
00:06:20.64\00:06:22.94
and they shall be afraid,
00:06:22.95\00:06:24.92
pangs and sorrows
shall take hold of them,
00:06:24.93\00:06:27.82
they shall be in pain
as a woman that travaileth,
00:06:27.83\00:06:30.68
they shall be
amazed one at another,
00:06:30.69\00:06:33.67
their faces shall be as flames.
00:06:33.68\00:06:36.96
Behold, the day
of the Lord cometh,
00:06:36.97\00:06:40.10
cruel both with
wrath and fierce anger,
00:06:40.11\00:06:43.44
to lay the land desolate,
00:06:43.45\00:06:44.70
and he shall destroy the sinners
00:06:44.71\00:06:46.37
thereof out of it.
00:06:46.38\00:06:49.04
For the stars of
heaven and the constellations
00:06:49.05\00:06:51.63
thereof shall
not give their light,
00:06:51.64\00:06:54.06
the sun shall be
darkened in his going forth,
00:06:54.07\00:06:56.18
and the moon shall not
cause her light to shine.
00:06:56.19\00:06:59.77
And I will punish
the world for their evil,
00:06:59.78\00:07:02.12
and the wicked
for their iniquity,
00:07:02.13\00:07:04.95
and I will cause the arrogancy
00:07:04.96\00:07:06.72
of the proud to cease,
00:07:06.73\00:07:08.89
and will lay low
00:07:08.90\00:07:09.89
the haughtiness of the terrible.
00:07:09.90\00:07:13.22
I will make a man more
precious than fine gold,
00:07:13.23\00:07:17.80
even a man than the
golden wedge of Ophir.
00:07:17.81\00:07:21.00
Therefore I will
shake the heavens,
00:07:21.01\00:07:22.64
and the earth shall
remove out of her place,
00:07:22.65\00:07:25.98
in the wrath of
the Lord of hosts,
00:07:25.99\00:07:28.01
and in the day
of his fierce anger.
00:07:28.02\00:07:30.81
And it shall be
as the chased roe,
00:07:30.82\00:07:33.59
and as a sheep
that no man taketh up,
00:07:33.60\00:07:36.77
they shall every man
turn to his own people,
00:07:36.78\00:07:38.77
and flee every
one into his own land.
00:07:38.78\00:07:40.96
Every one that is found
shall be thrust through,
00:07:40.97\00:07:43.36
and every one that
is joined unto them
00:07:43.37\00:07:45.85
shall fall by the sword.
00:07:45.86\00:07:48.23
Their children also
shall be dashed to pieces
00:07:48.24\00:07:51.05
before their eyes,
00:07:51.06\00:07:52.94
their houses shall be spoiled,
00:07:52.95\00:07:54.64
and their wives ravished.
00:07:54.65\00:07:56.83
Behold, I will stir up
the Medes against them,
00:07:56.84\00:08:00.23
which shall not regard silver,
00:08:00.24\00:08:02.76
and as for gold, they
shall not delight in it.
00:08:02.77\00:08:06.14
Their bows also shall
dash the young men to pieces,
00:08:06.15\00:08:09.19
and they shall have no
pity on the fruit of the womb,
00:08:09.20\00:08:11.94
their eye shall
not spare children.
00:08:11.95\00:08:14.45
And Babylon, the
glory of kingdoms,
00:08:14.46\00:08:17.73
the beauty of the
Chaldees' excellency,
00:08:17.74\00:08:19.66
shall be as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:08:19.67\00:08:24.47
It shall never be inhabited,
neither shall it be dwelt
00:08:24.48\00:08:28.11
in from
generation to generation,
00:08:28.12\00:08:31.21
neither shall the
Arabian pitch tent there,
00:08:31.22\00:08:34.21
neither shall the
shepherds make their fold there.
00:08:34.22\00:08:37.74
But wild beasts of the
desert shall lie there,
00:08:37.75\00:08:40.72
and their houses shall be full
00:08:40.73\00:08:42.38
of doleful creatures,
and owls shall dwell there,
00:08:42.39\00:08:46.53
and satyrs shall dance there.
00:08:46.54\00:08:48.86
And the wild
beasts of the islands
00:08:48.87\00:08:50.30
shall cry in
their desolate houses,
00:08:50.31\00:08:52.26
and dragons in
their pleasant palaces,
00:08:52.27\00:08:55.81
and her time is near to come,
00:08:55.82\00:08:58.72
and her days
shall not be prolonged."
00:08:58.73\00:09:02.99
Continuing with
Isaiah, Chapter 14,
00:09:03.00\00:09:05.80
this is the King James Version.
00:09:05.81\00:09:08.91
"For the Lord will
have mercy on Jacob,
00:09:08.92\00:09:11.59
and will yet choose Israel,
00:09:11.60\00:09:13.83
and set them in their own land,
00:09:13.84\00:09:16.35
and the strangers
shall be joined with them,
00:09:16.36\00:09:18.25
and they shall cleave
to the house of Jacob.
00:09:18.26\00:09:20.99
And the people shall take them,
00:09:21.00\00:09:22.04
and bring them to their place,
00:09:22.05\00:09:23.33
and the house of
Israel shall possess them
00:09:23.34\00:09:25.76
in the land of the Lord
for servants and handmaids,
00:09:25.77\00:09:28.41
and they shall
take them captives,
00:09:28.42\00:09:30.42
whose captives they were,
00:09:30.43\00:09:32.61
and they shall rule
over their oppressors.
00:09:32.62\00:09:34.84
And it shall come
to pass in the day
00:09:34.85\00:09:36.38
that the Lord shall give
thee rest from thy sorrow,
00:09:36.39\00:09:40.07
and from thy fear,
and from the hard bondage
00:09:40.08\00:09:43.41
wherein thou wast made to serve,
00:09:43.42\00:09:46.38
that thou shalt
take up this proverb
00:09:46.39\00:09:48.01
against the king of Babylon,
00:09:48.02\00:09:49.29
and say, 'How hath
the oppressor ceased!
00:09:49.30\00:09:53.41
The golden city ceased!'
00:09:53.42\00:09:56.03
The Lord hath broken
the staff of the wicked,
00:09:56.04\00:09:58.28
and the sceptre of the rulers.
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.78
He who smote the people
00:10:00.79\00:10:02.24
in wrath with a
continual stroke,
00:10:02.25\00:10:05.12
he that ruled
the nations in anger,
00:10:05.13\00:10:08.17
is persecuted,
and none hindereth.
00:10:08.18\00:10:12.14
The whole earth is at rest,
00:10:12.15\00:10:13.76
and is quiet, they
break forth into singing.
00:10:13.77\00:10:16.97
Yea, the fir
trees rejoice at thee,
00:10:16.98\00:10:19.19
and the cedars of Lebanon,
00:10:19.20\00:10:20.60
saying, Since
thou art laid down,
00:10:20.61\00:10:22.92
no feller is come up against us.
00:10:22.93\00:10:26.40
Hell from
beneath is moved for thee
00:10:26.41\00:10:28.50
to meet thee at thy coming,
00:10:28.51\00:10:30.77
it stirreth up
the dead for thee,
00:10:30.78\00:10:33.44
even all the
chief ones of the earth,
00:10:33.45\00:10:35.52
it hath raised up
00:10:35.53\00:10:36.59
from their thrones all
the kings of the nations.
00:10:36.60\00:10:39.41
All they shall
speak and say unto thee,
00:10:39.42\00:10:41.98
Art thou also become weak as we?
00:10:41.99\00:10:44.82
Art thou become like unto us?
00:10:44.83\00:10:47.72
Thy pomp is
brought down to the grave,
00:10:47.73\00:10:50.57
and the noise of thy viols,
00:10:50.58\00:10:52.97
the worm is spread under thee,
00:10:52.98\00:10:54.72
and the worms cover thee.
00:10:54.73\00:10:57.13
How art thou fallen from heaven,
00:10:57.14\00:10:59.10
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
00:10:59.11\00:11:01.96
How art thou cut
down to the ground,
00:11:01.97\00:11:04.03
which didst weaken the nations!
00:11:04.04\00:11:06.77
For thou hast
said in thine heart,
00:11:06.78\00:11:09.32
I will ascend into heaven,
00:11:09.33\00:11:11.23
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God,
00:11:11.24\00:11:14.85
I will sit also
00:11:14.86\00:11:15.87
upon the mount
of the congregation,
00:11:15.88\00:11:17.43
in the sides of the north,
00:11:17.44\00:11:18.99
I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds,
00:11:19.00\00:11:22.27
I will be like the most High.
00:11:22.28\00:11:26.05
Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell,
00:11:26.06\00:11:28.75
to the sides of the pit.
00:11:28.76\00:11:31.68
They that see thee
shall narrowly look upon thee,
00:11:31.69\00:11:35.08
and consider thee, saying,
00:11:35.09\00:11:36.98
Is this the man that
made the earth to tremble,
00:11:36.99\00:11:40.37
that did shake kingdoms,
00:11:40.38\00:11:42.56
that made the
world as a wilderness,
00:11:42.57\00:11:44.05
and destroyed
the cities thereof,
00:11:44.06\00:11:45.47
that opened not the
house of his prisoners?
00:11:45.48\00:11:49.33
All the kings of the
nations, even all of them,
00:11:49.34\00:11:52.57
lie in glory, every
one in his own house.
00:11:52.58\00:11:56.33
But thou art
cast out of thy grave
00:11:56.34\00:11:59.22
like an abominable branch,
00:11:59.23\00:12:01.91
and as the raiment
of those that are slain,
00:12:01.92\00:12:04.44
thrust through with a sword,
00:12:04.45\00:12:05.63
that go down to
the stones of the pit,
00:12:05.64\00:12:07.90
as a carcase trodden under feet.
00:12:07.91\00:12:11.12
Thou shalt not be
joined with them in burial,
00:12:11.13\00:12:12.99
because thou hast
destroyed thy land,
00:12:13.00\00:12:14.87
and slain thy people,
00:12:14.88\00:12:17.11
the seed of evildoers
shall never be renowned.
00:12:17.12\00:12:20.83
Prepare
slaughter for his children
00:12:20.84\00:12:22.61
for the iniquity
of their fathers,
00:12:22.62\00:12:24.78
that they do not
rise, nor possess the land,
00:12:24.79\00:12:26.94
nor fill the face of
the world with cities.
00:12:26.95\00:12:29.88
For I will rise up against them,
00:12:29.89\00:12:31.51
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:12:31.52\00:12:33.33
and cut off from
Babylon the name,
00:12:33.34\00:12:36.50
and remnant, and son,
00:12:36.51\00:12:38.73
and nephew, saith the Lord.
00:12:38.74\00:12:42.00
I will also make it a
possession for the bittern,
00:12:42.01\00:12:44.06
and pools of water,
00:12:44.07\00:12:45.82
and I will sweep it with
the besom of destruction,
00:12:45.83\00:12:48.15
saith the Lord of hosts.
00:12:48.16\00:12:50.17
The Lord of hosts
hath sworn, saying,
00:12:50.18\00:12:51.72
Surely as I have thought,
so shall it come to pass,
00:12:51.73\00:12:56.84
and as I have
purposed, so shall it stand,
00:12:56.85\00:13:01.24
that I will break
the Assyrian in my land,
00:13:01.25\00:13:03.78
and upon my
mountains tread him under foot,
00:13:03.79\00:13:06.04
then shall his yoke
depart from off them,
00:13:06.05\00:13:08.21
and his burden depart
from off their shoulders.
00:13:08.22\00:13:11.55
This is the purpose
00:13:11.56\00:13:12.58
that is purposed
upon the whole earth,
00:13:12.59\00:13:15.13
and this is the hand
00:13:15.14\00:13:16.11
that is stretched
out upon all the nations.
00:13:16.12\00:13:18.76
For the Lord of
hosts hath purposed,
00:13:18.77\00:13:20.56
and who shall disannul it?
00:13:20.57\00:13:22.89
And his hand is stretched out,
00:13:22.90\00:13:24.15
and who shall turn it back?
00:13:24.16\00:13:27.03
In the year that king
Ahaz died was this burden.
00:13:27.04\00:13:31.72
Rejoice not
thou, whole Palestina,
00:13:31.73\00:13:34.99
because the rod of him
that smote thee is broken,
00:13:35.00\00:13:37.88
for out of the serpent's root
00:13:37.89\00:13:39.26
shall come forth a cockatrice,
00:13:39.27\00:13:40.86
and his fruit shall be
a fiery flying serpent.
00:13:40.87\00:13:44.35
And the firstborn
of the poor shall feed,
00:13:44.36\00:13:46.44
and the needy
shall lie down in safety,
00:13:46.45\00:13:48.35
and I will kill
thy root with famine,
00:13:48.36\00:13:51.25
and he shall slay thy remnant.
00:13:51.26\00:13:53.77
Howl, O gate, cry, O city, thou,
00:13:53.78\00:13:58.83
whole Palestina, art dissolved,
00:13:58.84\00:14:01.81
for there shall come
from the north a smoke,
00:14:01.82\00:14:04.87
and none shall be
alone in his appointed times.
00:14:04.88\00:14:08.58
What shall one then answer
the messengers of the nation?
00:14:08.59\00:14:12.22
That the Lord hath founded Zion,
00:14:12.23\00:14:14.55
and the poor of his
people shall trust in it."
00:14:14.56\00:14:19.16
Thank you for
joining with me today
00:14:19.17\00:14:21.00
to read the word of God together
00:14:21.01\00:14:23.89
and as we think about
the captivity of the people
00:14:23.90\00:14:26.92
in those days
and how they needed
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.08
the Lord of
hosts to set them free.
00:14:29.09\00:14:31.36
May we also
realize again the freedom
00:14:31.37\00:14:33.47
that Jesus
purchased for each of us
00:14:33.48\00:14:35.59
and that we always need
in our lives today. Good bye.
00:14:38.48\00:14:39.65
