Hello and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.43\00:00:18.37
I am Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:18.38\00:00:19.84
we are going to be
reading from the book of Isaiah.
00:00:19.85\00:00:22.07
But let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.08\00:00:24.92
Dear heavenly
Father, please come
00:00:24.93\00:00:27.12
and be with us right
now in a special way.
00:00:27.13\00:00:30.14
Thank you for this opportunity
00:00:30.15\00:00:31.66
to hear Your word
which is light in life.
00:00:31.67\00:00:35.00
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to show us the message
00:00:35.01\00:00:38.99
and the meaning that
You have for us personally
00:00:39.00\00:00:42.29
in what we will read today.
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.07
We love You so
much and thank you
00:00:44.08\00:00:45.38
for loving us, amen.
00:00:45.39\00:00:48.45
Reading in the Book of
Isaiah Chapter 15, verse 1,
00:00:48.46\00:00:52.52
this is the King James Version.
00:00:52.53\00:00:55.13
"The burden of Moab.
00:00:55.14\00:00:57.78
Because in the night
Ar of Moab is laid waste,
00:00:57.79\00:01:01.89
and brought to silence,
00:01:01.90\00:01:03.91
because in the night
Kir of Moab is laid waste,
00:01:03.92\00:01:07.45
and brought to silence,
He is gone up in Bajith,
00:01:07.46\00:01:10.97
and to Dibon, the
high places, to weep,
00:01:10.98\00:01:14.31
Moab shall howl over
Nebo, and over Medeba,
00:01:14.32\00:01:18.26
on all their
heads shall be baldness,
00:01:18.27\00:01:20.21
and every beard cut off.
00:01:20.22\00:01:22.72
In their streets
they shall gird themselves
00:01:22.73\00:01:24.89
with sackcloth, on
the tops of their houses,
00:01:24.90\00:01:28.40
and in their
streets, every one shall howl,
00:01:28.41\00:01:30.70
weeping abundantly.
00:01:30.71\00:01:32.59
And Heshbon
shall cry, and Elealeh,
00:01:32.60\00:01:35.61
their voice shall be
heard even unto Jahaz,
00:01:35.62\00:01:37.62
therefore the armed
soldiers of Moab shall cry out,
00:01:37.63\00:01:41.41
his life shall be
grievous unto him.
00:01:41.42\00:01:44.10
My heart shall cry out for Moab,
00:01:44.11\00:01:46.32
his fugitives
shall flee unto Zoar,
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.41
an heifer of three years old,
00:01:49.42\00:01:51.69
for by the mounting up of Luhith
00:01:51.70\00:01:53.61
with weeping
shall they go it up,
00:01:53.62\00:01:57.05
for in the way of Horonaim
00:01:57.06\00:01:59.55
they shall raise up
a cry of destruction.
00:01:59.56\00:02:02.69
For the waters of
Nimrim shall be desolate,
00:02:02.70\00:02:05.60
for the hay is withered away,
00:02:05.61\00:02:06.76
the grass faileth,
there is no green thing.
00:02:06.77\00:02:09.94
Therefore the
abundance they have gotten,
00:02:09.95\00:02:12.47
and that which
they have laid up,
00:02:12.48\00:02:14.12
shall they carry away to
the brook of the willows.
00:02:14.13\00:02:17.32
For the cry is gone round
about the borders of Moab,
00:02:17.33\00:02:20.14
the howling thereof unto Eglaim,
00:02:20.15\00:02:23.19
and the howling
thereof unto Beerelim.
00:02:23.20\00:02:26.03
For the waters of
Dimon shall be full of blood,
00:02:26.04\00:02:28.86
for I will
bring more upon Dimon,
00:02:28.87\00:02:31.37
lions upon him
that escapeth of Moab,
00:02:31.38\00:02:34.19
and upon the
remnant of the land."
00:02:34.20\00:02:36.96
We're continuing
with Isaiah Chapter 16,
00:02:36.97\00:02:39.75
this is the King James Version.
00:02:39.76\00:02:43.04
"Send ye the lamb to
the ruler of the land
00:02:43.05\00:02:45.75
from Sela to the wilderness,
00:02:45.76\00:02:47.48
unto the mount of
the daughter of Zion.
00:02:47.49\00:02:50.27
For it shall be,
that, as a wandering bird
00:02:50.28\00:02:53.15
cast out of the nest,
00:02:53.16\00:02:54.65
so the daughters of Moab
00:02:54.66\00:02:56.09
shall be at the fords of Arnon.
00:02:56.10\00:02:59.07
Take counsel, execute judgment,
00:02:59.08\00:03:01.91
make thy shadow as the night
in the midst of the noonday,
00:03:01.92\00:03:05.66
hide the outcasts,
bewray not him that wandereth.
00:03:05.67\00:03:10.59
Let mine outcasts
dwell with thee, Moab,
00:03:10.60\00:03:14.12
be thou a covert to them
from the face of the spoiler,
00:03:14.13\00:03:18.56
for the
extortioner is at an end,
00:03:18.57\00:03:21.21
the spoiler ceaseth,
00:03:21.22\00:03:23.02
the oppressors are
consumed out of the land.
00:03:23.03\00:03:27.63
And in mercy shall
the throne be established,
00:03:27.64\00:03:29.92
and he shall
sit upon it in truth
00:03:29.93\00:03:32.23
in the tabernacle
of David, judging,
00:03:32.24\00:03:34.42
and seeking judgment,
and hasting righteousness.
00:03:34.43\00:03:38.68
We have heard of
the pride of Moab,
00:03:38.69\00:03:41.19
he is very proud,
even of his haughtiness,
00:03:41.20\00:03:44.34
and his pride, and his wrath,
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.91
but his lies shall not be so.
00:03:46.92\00:03:50.11
Therefore shall
Moab howl for Moab,
00:03:50.12\00:03:52.74
every one shall howl,
00:03:52.75\00:03:54.65
for the foundations of
Kirhareseth shall ye mourn,
00:03:54.66\00:03:58.43
surely they are stricken.
00:03:58.44\00:04:00.54
For the fields
of Heshbon languish,
00:04:00.55\00:04:02.30
and the vine of Sibmah,
00:04:02.31\00:04:04.60
the lords of the
heathen have broken down
00:04:04.61\00:04:06.74
the principal plants thereof,
00:04:06.75\00:04:08.68
they are come even unto Jazer,
00:04:08.69\00:04:10.42
they wandered
through the wilderness,
00:04:10.43\00:04:12.18
her branches are stretched out,
00:04:12.19\00:04:14.07
they are gone over the sea.
00:04:14.08\00:04:16.42
Therefore I will bewail
with the weeping of Jazer
00:04:16.43\00:04:19.84
the vine of Sibmah,
00:04:19.85\00:04:21.68
I will water thee with my tears,
00:04:21.69\00:04:23.43
O Heshbon, and Elealeh,
00:04:23.44\00:04:25.73
for the shouting
for thy summer fruits
00:04:25.74\00:04:27.60
and for thy harvest is fallen.
00:04:27.61\00:04:30.21
And gladness is taken away,
00:04:30.22\00:04:32.16
and joy out of
the plentiful field,
00:04:32.17\00:04:35.28
and in the vineyards
there shall be no singing,
00:04:35.29\00:04:37.32
neither shall there be shouting,
00:04:37.33\00:04:39.39
the treaders shall tread
out no wine in their presses,
00:04:39.40\00:04:43.49
I have made their
vintage shouting to cease.
00:04:43.50\00:04:46.91
Wherefore my bowels shall
sound like an harp for Moab,
00:04:46.92\00:04:50.07
and mine inward
parts for Kirharesh.
00:04:50.08\00:04:54.15
And it shall come to pass,
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.29
when it is seen that Moab
is weary on the high place,
00:04:55.30\00:04:59.02
that he shall come to
his sanctuary to pray,
00:04:59.03\00:05:01.99
but he shall not prevail.
00:05:02.00\00:05:04.24
This is the word
that the Lord hath spoken
00:05:04.25\00:05:06.41
concerning Moab since that time.
00:05:06.42\00:05:09.77
But now the Lord hath spoken,
00:05:09.78\00:05:10.99
saying, within three years,
00:05:11.00\00:05:12.92
as the years of an hireling,
00:05:12.93\00:05:14.26
and the glory of
Moab shall be contemned,
00:05:14.27\00:05:16.70
with all that great multitude,
00:05:16.71\00:05:19.00
and the remnant shall
be very small and feeble."
00:05:19.01\00:05:23.64
Continuing with
Isaiah Chapter 17.
00:05:23.65\00:05:27.27
"The burden of Damascus.
00:05:27.28\00:05:30.03
Behold, Damascus is
taken away from being a city,
00:05:30.04\00:05:33.28
and it shall be a ruinous heap.
00:05:33.29\00:05:36.93
The cities of
Aroer are forsaken,
00:05:36.94\00:05:39.63
they shall be for
flocks, which shall lie down,
00:05:39.64\00:05:41.50
and none shall make them afraid.
00:05:41.51\00:05:43.90
The fortress also
shall cease from Ephraim,
00:05:43.91\00:05:46.23
and the kingdom from Damascus,
00:05:46.24\00:05:47.87
and the remnant of Syria,
00:05:47.88\00:05:49.76
they shall be as the
glory of the children of Israel,
00:05:49.77\00:05:52.07
saith the Lord of hosts.
00:05:52.08\00:05:54.15
And in that day it
shall come to pass,
00:05:54.16\00:05:55.90
that the glory of
Jacob shall be made thin,
00:05:55.91\00:05:58.69
and the fatness of
his flesh shall wax lean.
00:05:58.70\00:06:03.30
And it shall be as
when the harvestman
00:06:03.31\00:06:05.56
gathereth the corn,
00:06:05.57\00:06:06.83
and reapeth the
ears with his arm,
00:06:06.84\00:06:10.04
and it shall be as
he that gathereth ears
00:06:10.05\00:06:12.85
in the valley of Rephaim.
00:06:12.86\00:06:14.97
Yet gleaning grapes
shall be left in it,
00:06:14.98\00:06:18.25
as the shaking of an olive tree,
00:06:18.26\00:06:20.22
two or three berries
00:06:20.23\00:06:21.74
in the top of
the uppermost bough,
00:06:21.75\00:06:23.44
four or five in the outmost
fruitful branches thereof,
00:06:23.45\00:06:26.65
saith the Lord God of Israel.
00:06:26.66\00:06:29.03
At that day shall a
man look to his Maker,
00:06:29.04\00:06:31.65
and his eyes shall have respect
00:06:31.66\00:06:33.74
to the Holy One of Israel.
00:06:33.75\00:06:35.67
And he shall not
look to the altars,
00:06:35.68\00:06:38.09
the work of his hands,
00:06:38.10\00:06:40.26
neither shall respect that
which his fingers have made,
00:06:40.27\00:06:43.28
either the
groves, or the images.
00:06:43.29\00:06:46.33
In that day
shall his strong cities
00:06:46.34\00:06:48.86
be as a forsaken bough,
and an uppermost branch,
00:06:48.87\00:06:52.97
which they left because
of the children of Israel,
00:06:52.98\00:06:55.82
and there shall be desolation.
00:06:55.83\00:06:58.25
Because thou hast forgotten
the God of thy salvation,
00:06:58.26\00:07:01.87
and hast not been mindful
of the rock of thy strength,
00:07:01.88\00:07:05.90
therefore shalt thou
plant pleasant plants,
00:07:05.91\00:07:08.80
and shalt set it
with strange slips.
00:07:08.81\00:07:12.69
In the day shalt thou
make thy plant to grow,
00:07:12.70\00:07:14.80
and in the morning shalt
thou make thy seed to flourish,
00:07:14.81\00:07:17.96
but the harvest shall be
a heap in the day of grief
00:07:17.97\00:07:22.15
and of desperate sorrow.
00:07:22.16\00:07:24.53
Woe to the
multitude of many people,
00:07:24.54\00:07:26.85
which make a noise
like the noise of the seas,
00:07:26.86\00:07:29.92
and to the rushing of nations,
00:07:29.93\00:07:31.82
that make a rushing like
the rushing of mighty waters!
00:07:31.83\00:07:35.28
The nations shall rush
like the rushing of many waters,
00:07:35.29\00:07:38.01
but God shall rebuke them,
and they shall flee far off,
00:07:38.02\00:07:41.28
and shall be chased as
the chaff of the mountains
00:07:41.29\00:07:44.13
before the wind,
and like a rolling thing
00:07:44.14\00:07:46.69
before the whirlwind.
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.36
And behold at
eveningtide trouble,
00:07:48.37\00:07:51.57
and before the
morning he is not.
00:07:51.58\00:07:54.64
This is the portion
of them that spoil us,
00:07:54.65\00:07:58.08
and the lot of
them that rob us."
00:07:58.09\00:08:01.54
Continuing to read
from the Book of Isaiah,
00:08:01.55\00:08:03.94
Chapter 18, and this
is the King James Version.
00:08:03.95\00:08:08.30
"Woe to the land
shadowing with wings,
00:08:08.31\00:08:11.12
which is beyond
the rivers of Ethiopia,
00:08:11.13\00:08:14.08
that sendeth
ambassadors by the sea,
00:08:14.09\00:08:16.73
even in vessels of bulrushes
upon the waters, saying,
00:08:16.74\00:08:20.02
'Go, ye swift messengers,
00:08:20.03\00:08:21.61
to a nation
scattered and peeled,
00:08:21.62\00:08:24.14
to a people terrible
from their beginning hitherto,
00:08:24.15\00:08:27.65
a nation meted
out and trodden down,
00:08:27.66\00:08:29.81
whose land the
rivers have spoiled!'
00:08:29.82\00:08:33.14
All ye inhabitants of the world,
00:08:33.15\00:08:35.05
and dwellers on
the earth, see ye,
00:08:35.06\00:08:38.07
when he lifteth up an
ensign on the mountains,
00:08:38.08\00:08:40.53
and when he
bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
00:08:40.54\00:08:43.32
For so the Lord said
unto me, I will take my rest,
00:08:43.33\00:08:47.67
and I will consider
in my dwelling place
00:08:47.68\00:08:49.77
like a clear heat upon herbs,
00:08:49.78\00:08:52.18
and like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.
00:08:52.19\00:08:55.74
For afore the harvest,
when the bud is perfect,
00:08:55.75\00:08:58.95
and the sour grape is
ripening in the flower,
00:08:58.96\00:09:02.12
he shall both cut off the sprigs
00:09:02.13\00:09:03.99
with pruning
hooks, and take away
00:09:04.00\00:09:06.49
and cut down the branches.
00:09:06.50\00:09:09.18
They shall be left together
00:09:09.19\00:09:10.87
unto the fowls of the mountains,
00:09:10.88\00:09:12.53
and to the beasts of the earth,
00:09:12.54\00:09:13.63
and the fowls
shall summer upon them,
00:09:13.64\00:09:16.55
and all the beasts of the earth
00:09:16.56\00:09:17.88
shall winter upon them.
00:09:17.89\00:09:20.53
In that time shall the present
00:09:20.54\00:09:22.29
be brought unto
the Lord of hosts
00:09:22.30\00:09:24.68
of a people
scattered and peeled,
00:09:24.69\00:09:27.67
and from a people terrible
00:09:27.68\00:09:29.57
from their beginning hitherto,
00:09:29.58\00:09:31.79
a nation meted out
and trodden under foot,
00:09:31.80\00:09:35.22
whose land the
rivers have spoiled,
00:09:35.23\00:09:38.04
to the place of the
name of the Lord of hosts,
00:09:38.05\00:09:40.92
the mount Zion."
00:09:40.93\00:09:43.09
Continuing to
read Isaiah Chapter 19,
00:09:43.10\00:09:45.28
this is the King James Version.
00:09:45.29\00:09:48.46
"The burden of Egypt.
00:09:48.47\00:09:51.08
Behold, the Lord
rideth upon a swift cloud,
00:09:51.09\00:09:53.67
and shall come into Egypt,
00:09:53.68\00:09:55.24
and the idols of Egypt
shall be moved at his presence,
00:09:55.25\00:09:58.86
and the heart of Egypt
shall melt in the midst of it.
00:09:58.87\00:10:01.87
And I will set the
Egyptians against the Egyptians,
00:10:01.88\00:10:05.05
and they shall fight
every one against his brother,
00:10:05.06\00:10:07.62
and every one
against his neighbour,
00:10:07.63\00:10:09.31
city against city, and
kingdom against kingdom.
00:10:09.32\00:10:14.21
And the spirit of Egypt
00:10:14.22\00:10:15.19
shall fail in the midst thereof,
00:10:15.20\00:10:16.82
and I will destroy
the counsel thereof,
00:10:16.83\00:10:18.86
and they shall
seek to the idols,
00:10:18.87\00:10:20.97
and to the charmers,
00:10:20.98\00:10:22.04
and to them that
have familiar spirits,
00:10:22.05\00:10:25.01
and to the wizards.
00:10:25.02\00:10:26.85
And the
Egyptians will I give over
00:10:26.86\00:10:28.78
into the hand of a cruel Lord,
00:10:28.79\00:10:30.83
and a fierce king
shall rule over them,
00:10:30.84\00:10:32.42
saith the Lord,
the Lord of hosts.
00:10:32.43\00:10:35.32
And the waters
shall fail from the sea,
00:10:35.33\00:10:37.29
and the river shall
be wasted and dried up.
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.76
And they shall turn
the rivers far away,
00:10:40.77\00:10:43.56
and the brooks of defence
00:10:43.57\00:10:45.09
shall be emptied and dried up,
00:10:45.10\00:10:47.13
the reeds and
flags shall wither.
00:10:47.14\00:10:50.00
The paper reeds by the brooks,
by the mouth of the brooks,
00:10:50.01\00:10:53.63
and every thing
sown by the brooks,
00:10:53.64\00:10:55.41
shall wither, be
driven away, and be no more.
00:10:55.42\00:10:59.42
The fishers also shall mourn,
00:10:59.43\00:11:01.77
and all they that cast angle
into the brooks shall lament,
00:11:01.78\00:11:06.17
and they that spread nets
upon the waters shall languish.
00:11:06.18\00:11:11.13
Moreover they
that work in fine flax,
00:11:11.14\00:11:14.44
and they that weave
networks, shall be confounded.
00:11:14.45\00:11:18.84
And they shall be
broken in the purposes thereof,
00:11:18.85\00:11:22.08
all that make
sluices and ponds for fish.
00:11:22.09\00:11:26.40
Surely the
princes of Zoan are fools,
00:11:26.41\00:11:29.40
the counsel of the
wise counsellors of Pharaoh
00:11:29.41\00:11:31.85
is become brutish,
how say ye unto Pharaoh,
00:11:31.86\00:11:36.02
I am the son of the
wise, the son of ancient kings?
00:11:36.03\00:11:39.56
Where are they?
Where are thy wise men?
00:11:39.57\00:11:43.14
And let them tell thee now,
00:11:43.15\00:11:44.35
and let them know
what the Lord of hosts
00:11:44.36\00:11:46.90
hath purposed upon Egypt.
00:11:46.91\00:11:49.97
The princes of
Zoan are become fools,
00:11:49.98\00:11:52.54
the princes of
Noph are deceived,
00:11:52.55\00:11:55.01
they have also seduced Egypt,
00:11:55.02\00:11:57.24
even they that are the
stay of the tribes thereof.
00:11:57.25\00:12:00.99
The Lord hath mingled
00:12:01.00\00:12:02.15
a perverse spirit
in the midst thereof,
00:12:02.16\00:12:04.52
and they have caused Egypt
to err in every work thereof,
00:12:04.53\00:12:08.27
as a drunken man
staggereth in his vomit.
00:12:08.28\00:12:12.81
Neither shall there
be any work for Egypt,
00:12:12.82\00:12:14.63
which the head or
tail, branch or rush, may do.
00:12:14.64\00:12:19.31
In that day shall
Egypt be like unto women,
00:12:19.32\00:12:21.70
and it shall be afraid and fear
00:12:21.71\00:12:23.46
because of the
shaking of the hand
00:12:23.47\00:12:25.05
of the Lord of hosts,
which he shaketh over it.
00:12:25.06\00:12:28.64
And the land of Judah
shall be a terror unto Egypt,
00:12:28.65\00:12:31.71
every one that
maketh mention thereof
00:12:31.72\00:12:33.62
shall be afraid in himself,
00:12:33.63\00:12:35.90
because of the
counsel of the Lord of hosts,
00:12:35.91\00:12:38.77
which he hath
determined against it.
00:12:38.78\00:12:41.40
In that day shall five
cities in the land of Egypt
00:12:41.41\00:12:44.44
speak the language of Canaan,
and swear to the Lord of hosts,
00:12:44.45\00:12:48.51
one shall be called,
the city of destruction.
00:12:48.52\00:12:52.11
In that day shall
there be an altar to the Lord
00:12:52.12\00:12:54.24
in the midst of
the land of Egypt,
00:12:54.25\00:12:55.68
and a pillar at the
border thereof to the Lord.
00:12:55.69\00:12:59.36
And it shall be for a
sign and for a witness
00:12:59.37\00:13:01.79
unto the Lord of
hosts in the land of Egypt,
00:13:01.80\00:13:04.40
for they shall cry unto the Lord
00:13:04.41\00:13:06.10
because of the oppressors,
00:13:06.11\00:13:07.86
and he shall
send them a Saviour,
00:13:07.87\00:13:09.62
and a great one, and
he shall deliver them.
00:13:09.63\00:13:13.09
And the Lord
shall be known to Egypt,
00:13:13.10\00:13:15.45
and the Egyptians shall
know the Lord in that day,
00:13:15.46\00:13:18.27
and shall do
sacrifice and oblation,
00:13:18.28\00:13:21.07
yea, they shall vow a vow
00:13:21.08\00:13:22.99
unto the Lord, and perform it.
00:13:23.00\00:13:26.41
And the Lord shall smite Egypt,
he shall smite and heal it,
00:13:26.42\00:13:31.59
and they shall
return even to the Lord,
00:13:31.60\00:13:33.31
and he shall be intreated
of them, and shall heal them.
00:13:33.32\00:13:37.19
In that day shall
there be a highway
00:13:37.20\00:13:39.08
out of Egypt to Assyria,
00:13:39.09\00:13:41.41
and the Assyrian
shall come into Egypt,
00:13:41.42\00:13:44.00
and the Egyptian into Assyria,
00:13:44.01\00:13:46.44
and the Egyptians shall
serve with the Assyrians.
00:13:46.45\00:13:50.46
In that day shall
Israel be the third
00:13:50.47\00:13:52.32
with Egypt and with Assyria,
00:13:52.33\00:13:53.59
even a blessing in
the midst of the land,
00:13:53.60\00:13:56.59
Whom the Lord of
hosts shall bless, saying,
00:13:56.60\00:13:58.58
'Blessed be Egypt my people,
00:13:58.59\00:14:00.71
and Assyria the
work of my hands,
00:14:00.72\00:14:03.20
and Israel mine inheritance.'"
00:14:03.21\00:14:06.27
Continuing with
Isaiah Chapter 20.
00:14:06.28\00:14:09.39
"In the year that
Tartan came unto Ashdod,
00:14:09.40\00:14:12.09
when Sargon the
king of Assyria sent him,
00:14:12.10\00:14:14.64
and fought against
Ashdod, and took it.
00:14:14.65\00:14:17.29
At the same time spake the Lord
00:14:17.30\00:14:19.03
by Isaiah the
son of Amoz, saying,
00:14:19.04\00:14:20.96
'Go and loose the
sackcloth from off thy loins,
00:14:20.97\00:14:24.51
and put off thy
shoe from thy foot.'
00:14:24.52\00:14:27.30
And he did so,
walking naked and barefoot.
00:14:27.31\00:14:30.86
And the Lord said,
'Like as my servant
00:14:30.87\00:14:33.10
Isaiah hath walked naked
00:14:33.11\00:14:34.48
and barefoot
three years for a sign
00:14:34.49\00:14:37.25
and wonder upon
Egypt and upon Ethiopia.'"
00:14:37.26\00:14:40.59
