CHAPTER 26
Song of the Millennial Kingdom
A song of Celebration of the things done by the return of Christ.
|
Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 1a |
|
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah;
|
“In that day…” – the Millennium, is the period being talking about in the coming verses.
Judah will sing this song of triumph.
|
Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 1b-6 |
|
We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
|
The city is now strong and the righteous of the world come to visit.
He brought down all the wicked, even those that thought of themselves as mighty.
“…the lofty city…” can refer to End Times mighty Babylon, that has been brought down.
|
Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 7-18 |
|
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
|
All those with dominion over them have been destroyed and ONLY God is left.
The RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
|
Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 19 |
|
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
|
Isaiah taught the Resurrection of ALL the dead.
TRIBULATION REASSURANCE
|
Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 20-21 |
|
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
|
“…enter into thy chambers…hide…for a little moment…”
Referring to the flight of the Jews from the Anti-christ. Revelation 12 – the sun clothed woman.
“…until the indignation be overpast”
At the halfway point of the Tribulation, the Anti-christ will defile the Temple and begin to kill the Jews. They will escape to Moab and Edom until the return of Christ at His Second Coming which ends the Tribulation.
The Lord will come “out of His place” (Heaven) and punish sin and the planet will not be able to hide those that have been killed.
