“…Thirty such types show how history repeats itself at the end of the world.”
“…the apostasy of
God’s people—that is, of those who profess to be God’s covenant people in that
day. … the world’s end-time scenario is set in motion
by the apostasy of God’s people in that day—they are its catalyst.
….The people’s biggest problem, ancient and end-time, is their idolatry—their
infatuation with the things of this world: ……..
This prophetic pattern of God’s judgments coming upon his people and upon the
ancient world at the hands of an invading power from the North as a consequence
of his people’s apostasy accords with the apostasy of God’s end-time people
similarly being the catalyst of a world conquest and destruction by an invading
power from the North, except that this time it heralds the end of the world.
…. God gives his
people “a pure language so that all may all call on the name of Jehovah and
serve him with one accord” (Zephaniah 3:9).
Meanwhile, the earth’s wayward inhabitants—those who follow the vain
imaginations of their hearts in the modern world—God destroys in his Day of
Judgment: …
….
As an end-time event, involving those who claim to be God’s people in that day,
the new “Babylonian Captivity” resembles the old except that this time it isn’t
limited to the ancient Near East but encompasses the entire world. Although it
comes as a covenant curse on the heels of the apostasy of God’s people just as
it does in the past, this coercive new world order impacts not only them but
nations and peoples everywhere.
…. God commands
Abraham to leave: “Jehovah said to Abram, … only
persons who are righteous as Abraham was righteous heed Jehovah’s call: …
……
In the end-time version of these events, when wickedness peaks to the degree it
did in Sodom and Gomorrah, God again rescues his elect while many others of his
people perish for corrupting their lives: … “The righteous disappear, and no
man gives it a thought; the godly are gathered out, but no one perceives that
from impending calamity the righteous are withdrawn. They who walk uprightly
shall attain peace, and rest in their beds” (Isaiah 57:1–2).
Just as Abraham acted as a proxy savior to Lot when God destroyed the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah, so God’s end-time servants act as proxy saviors to those
whom God delivers from an end-time Sodom and Gomorrah type of destruction: …
…..Because such
wickedness by God’s end-time people is the catalyst of a worldwide
……
“The Day of Jehovah shall come as a cruel outburst of anger and wrath to make
the earth a desolation, that sinners may be
annihilated from it. The stars and constellations of the heavens will not
shine. When the sun rises, it shall be obscured; nor
will the moon give its light. . . . I will cause disturbance in the heavens
when the earth is jolted out of place by the anger of Jehovah of Hosts in the
day of his blazing wrath”…..Isaiah’s end-time version of cosmic disturbance
thus coincides with God’s Day of Judgment coming upon the earth’s unrepentant
inhabitants, including those of his own people.
……The chaotic
condition of the earth during its formation from cosmic debris in the beginning
is nevertheless repeated in the end as its inhabitants’ wickedness leads to a
similar dissolution of elements into a disorganized state. ……
… transforms the entire Book of Isaiah into an apocalyptic
prophecy, ancient
…
Passing himself off as the god of this world, the archtyrant’s
self-exaltation finally leads to his utter humiliation: …
…
The new Flood that Isaiah predicts, on the other hand, although similarly
destructive of men and beasts, is manmade. Using flood imagery to depict
….The end-time
Assyrian alliance acts much the same as its ancient counterpart when Jehovah
summons it to invade his people’s lands…
…..Although the
end-time versions of ancient events are much briefer in duration—all being
compressed into a period of just a few years—their reality matches what
occurred in the past….Those of his people who repent, on the other hand, God
releases from bondage after the curse serves its purpose of restoring them to a
covenant relationship with him….
…..In the same way
Jehovah intervenes in his people’s affairs when he raises up Moses and empowers
him to deliver Israel from bondage anciently, so he intervenes again when he
raises up and empowers his end-time servant—his mighty arm—to deliver his
people at the end of the world. …
…….Although the
end-time sequel of
Isaiah predicts that God appoints his end-time servant to lead the new exodus
and new wandering in the wilderness just as Moses does in antiquity…
The new wandering in the wilderness has a way of leveling the playing field for
God’s end-time people as they anticipate Jehovah’s coming to reign on the
earth…
…. patterned after
God provided
divine protection for Israel when it came out of the land of Egypt by placing
his cloud of glory over them to shield them from the elements and to separate
them from their enemies: …Jehovah accompanies their end-time travels: “Jehovah
will go before you, the God of Israel behind you” (Isaiah 52:12).
….Just as King
Hezekiah performs the spiritual role of a proxy savior to his people, so does
God’s servant in the end-time sequel to these events. …
.. commanded the
Israelites to observe the Passover “throughout your generations” (Exodus 12:14,
42) was to foreshadow what he would do at the end of time … end-time Passover
in which those who rely of Jehovah’s proxy salvation escape his wrath upon a
wicked world..
……
Jehovah’s appearance to the elders of his people on
……
As the earth was “baptized” with water in the days of Noah, so it is “baptized”
with fire at the end of the world …
……
As the millennial age dawns, God’s people spread throughout the earth: ..
…
Isaiah predicts similar such miraculous victories over an Assyrian alliance
that threatens God’s end-time ….
… a composite figure. That figure—God’s end-time
servant—resembles Cyrus, Moses, David, Abraham, and others in the various roles
he performs. His universal mission is “for the sake of my servant Jacob and
…..
The end-time context of Isaiah’s prophecy as a whole that Isaiah’s Seven-Part
Structure establishes nevertheless determines that the servant’s mission is an
end-time mission, one that exhibits two distinct phases: (1) a conditional or
descent phase, in which the servant answers to Israel’s God for the
disloyalties of his people under the terms of the Davidic Covenant in order to
obtain their divine protection when enemies threaten; and (2) an unconditional
or ascent phase, in which the servant is crowned king as was King David by
Israel’s tribes. The first emphasizes the servant’s “servant” phase, in which
he fulfills the spiritual role of a proxy savior to God’s people in the pattern
of King Hezekiah. The second emphasizes his “son” phase, in which he fulfills
the physical role of reconquering the world from the
Assyrian alliance in the pattern of King David’s conquest of the ancient Near
East and of Cyrus the Persian’s conquest of the Babylonian Empire.
…Sadly, as entire messianic constructs built up in people’s minds on faulty
interpretive foundations inherited from the Dark Ages of apostasy mislead the
masses even to this day, it seems apparent that God’s end-time servant and
those servants of God who act of proxy saviors under the terms of the Davidic
Covenant in restoring his end-time people and preparing them to meet
Jehovah/Jesus at his coming must experience their descent phases of trials and
afflictions at the hands of those very same misled masses who refuse to invest
their time in analyzing Isaiah’s and other messianic prophecies to determine
for themselves what they actually say, but who instead are content to parrot
back what they are led to believe they say. Such is the paradox of God’s
people’s interpersonal relationships: that those who are most “vigilant for his
word” (Isaiah 66:5)—as evidenced by their searching the scriptures to see
“whether those things are so” (Acts 17:11)—should suffer most at the hands of
ecclesiastical brethren who, to their own condemnation, hold fast to popular
but scripturally unsupported “precepts of men” (Isaiah 29:13; 51:7; 61:7;
65:13–15; 66:5).
.. God’s end-time servant
likewise announces the rebuilding of the temple in
…
At the time he restores end-time
…
As God endowed his priests and Levites anciently with his holy
Spirit, so he does his end-time elect…
…
Many others at that time also ascend to exalted spiritual levels, fulfilling
the ultimate purpose of God’s creation: …
…
Zion’s beauty surpasses previous experience as the earth’s millennial
inhabitants partake of the spiritual and temporal salvation God promises those
who prove loyal to him through the evil time: …
