739. Bible Study: Isaiah 52 continued · Faith by annm2705

  So I went to start where I left off and because I I don't know
• 0:05
  anyway, we were reading more scriptures.
• 0:07
  So I want to go back to what Jesus said in well, actually now
• 0:15
  let's go to what his follower said in Acts chapter 2, verse
• 0:20
  17. It says, and this is a repeat of
• 0:27
  prior prophets, but it says in the last days, God says I will
• 0:31
  pour out my spirit on all people.
• 0:34
  Your sons and daughters will prophecy, your young men will
• 0:38
  see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
• 0:42
  This is something that really seems like it's happening right
• 0:45
  now. There are so many people.
• 0:47
  Search dreams online and you will see like people all over
• 0:53
  the world are having dreams about Jesus.
• 0:57
  And I myself started having dreams about with the name of
• 1:02
  Jesus in it in my dreams and spiritual things in my dreams
• 1:08
  the very night of my baptism in 2021.
• 1:11
  And those dreams continue to this day.
• 1:14
  And I noticed over time, I could never understand why they were
• 1:19
  happening or what was causing them to happen because I never
• 1:22
  dreamed about Jesus or spiritual things before.
• 1:25
  And I had been reading the Bible, Bible prior to that, you
• 1:28
  know, regularly. So 9, you know, in 19/20/21.
• 1:34
  So I was reading all those times and I didn't ever have any
• 1:38
  dreams. But the night of my baptism I
• 1:40
  had a dream. And then it's continued.
• 1:43
  And I've had over 70, probably over 75 dreams so far.
• 1:47
  And I noticed that they all seem to happen close to like, Jewish
• 1:52
  feast days. It's really interesting because
• 1:55
  it was so random at first to me. I was like, why?
• 1:58
  How can I go like this? You know, the span, like over
• 2:01
  the summer, I don't have a whole bunch of them.
• 2:03
  But then you get around September, you get around the
• 2:05
  springtime, and then I start having a bunch of dreams.
• 2:09
  And so this has gone on for several years now because we're
• 2:12
  2025 and the dreams keep coming. And they started in 21 when I
• 2:17
  finally fully surrendered to God and said, OK, I am not going to
• 2:21
  be a hypocrite. I'm going to take to heart the
• 2:25
  things that you say in the Word and try to live my life that
• 2:28
  way, obviously with the help of the Holy Spirit.
• 2:31
  But that is when things changed for me.
• 2:34
  It never changed before then until that point.
• 2:37
  And, and I do wonder, like in the last days, God says I will
• 2:41
  pour out my spirit on all people.
• 2:43
  Your sons and daughters will prophecy.
• 2:45
  Your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
• 2:49
  Well, yeah, I've had dreams about that.
• 2:51
  And and also when it gets into the prophecy thing, I, I'm not
• 2:55
  claiming to be a prophet by any means, but what I can say is
• 2:58
  that in my dreams, I've seen things that actually appeared in
• 3:02
  my life later. So it was like it was revealed
• 3:05
  to me, something was revealed to me and then it actually happened
• 3:09
  in my life. So very interesting.
• 3:12
  But these things I don't, I don't know.
• 3:15
  I mean, don't discount just because maybe you haven't had
• 3:19
  dreams. Now, there are some people that
• 3:22
  are talking about their dreams to get an audience, but I think
• 3:27
  some of these people are truly sincere and it seems like they
• 3:31
  very much have the same message that Isaiah had was like repent,
• 3:36
  turn to God, get close to God. It doesn't seem like it's for
• 3:40
  their own purpose. It seems like it's it's a
• 3:43
  warning. And I do believe that God is
• 3:46
  warning us. I do believe that times are
• 3:50
  getting very close. I just don't.
• 3:53
  I don't know how close I have. I suspect super close but I
• 4:00
  could be wrong and and I don't know.
• 4:04
  But the point is, don't be lukewarm in your faith because I
• 4:10
  think this time is very important and I do think God is
• 4:13
  warning. God is so gracious and kind and
• 4:16
  merciful that He's warning people like this is coming soon.
• 4:20
  You better get ready. You better get ready.
• 4:24
  So it says let's see rather as it is written.
• 4:31
  Those were not told about Him. We'll see.
• 4:34
  And those who have not heard will understand.
• 4:42
  Let's see. And then in the Book of
• 4:43
  Revelation it says, look, He is coming with the clouds, and
• 4:49
  every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all
• 4:55
  the peoples on earth will mourn because of him.
• 5:00
  So it shall be. Amen.
• 5:03
  And then in Revelation chapter 22 verse 4, they will see His
• 5:07
  face and His name will be on their foreheads.
• 5:12
  So the Angel actually in the Book of Revelation, it talks
• 5:15
  about the Angel going out and sealing the heads of 144,000.
• 5:22
  They were 12,000 people from the tribes of Judah.
• 5:26
  So God is very faithful in sparing A remnant from the
• 5:32
  people of Israel, and that is actually talked about in the
• 5:36
  Book of Revelation as well. So there will be some and those
• 5:40
  later on will be seen on Mount Zion singing a song with Jesus
• 5:45
  that no one but them knows. So it's it's all been foretold.
• 5:51
  We're just waiting to see when it happens.
• 5:52
  So anyway, let's go back to Isaiah chapter 52, verse 11.
• 5:57
  Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing,
• 6:02
  come out from it and be pure. You who carry the articles of
• 6:06
  the Lord's house, but you will not leave in haste or go in
• 6:10
  flight, for the Lord will go before you that Jesus, the God
• 6:17
  of Israel will be your rear guard.
• 6:20
  Is that just a repetition or is it saying like the Father is
• 6:23
  protecting, you know, like Jesus will go ahead and the Father
• 6:26
  will protect? I don't know.
• 6:28
  I mean, I just wondered those things.
• 6:30
  See, my servant will act wisely. He will be raised and lifted up
• 6:35
  and highly exalted. This is Jesus, He will be the
• 6:39
  king that rules the earth. All these people who don't
• 6:43
  believe he's the Son of God. He's going to surprise everybody
• 6:47
  and show everybody that he is the Son of God and he will rule
• 6:49
  the world just as there were many who were appalled at him.
• 6:54
  Now see, this is when his appearance was so disfigured
• 6:59
  beyond that of any human being. And that's the truth about
• 7:03
  flogging. There's more and more
• 7:06
  documentaries that a friend had told me about like the Shroud of
• 7:10
  Turin. And it talks about like how
• 7:14
  badly Jesus had been beaten and that perhaps like he had his eye
• 7:21
  was like blinded in the one of his eyes because of flogging.
• 7:25
  Like that is such a brutal feeding to someone.
• 7:29
  And his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any
• 7:34
  human being. So this is Jesus and his form
• 7:38
  marred beyond human likeness. This is he was flogging.
• 7:42
  So he will sprinkle many nations.
• 7:46
  His blood will cover, just like the you have to know about the
• 7:51
  Old Testament. And when the sacrifices were
• 7:54
  made, they sprinkled the altar. So it's either he was.
• 7:59
  Yeah, I guess. I think that's what it probably
• 8:01
  means, is that his blood will be covered.
• 8:04
  His blood is is shed for all people everywhere.
• 8:10
  And so you can understand, if we don't believe that and if we
• 8:14
  don't take that to heart, why should we benefit from it?
• 8:19
  I mean, God's telling us right now all the kings will shut
• 8:23
  their mouths because of him for what they were not told they
• 8:28
  will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
• 8:32
  So when this happens, people will gasp.
• 8:36
  It says that it prophecies that. It says this is what's going to
• 8:39
  happen. People will just be shocked and
• 8:43
  amazed. Some of them will be fearful and
• 8:46
  want the rocks to fall over because they know that judgment
• 8:48
  is coming. And then others will rejoice
• 8:53
  when Jesus comes because they know that finally God's Kingdom
• 8:58
  is come. So which one will you be?
• 9:02
  Which one Are you ready? Are you ready for this?
• 9:04
  Because I have a feeling it's going to happen in our lifetime.
• 9:08
  I really truly do. And that's why I'm doing these
• 9:11
  podcasts because I hope people will get ready for that day and
• 9:17
  quit thinking about, not quit, but put in second place
• 9:22
  everything else about this world.
• 9:23
  Put God #1 in your life and really focus on what does He
• 9:28
  want you to be doing right now? Like, how can you serve God?
• 9:32
  How can you serve other people? Or what do you need to do if
• 9:36
  you, if you aren't there yet, you know, like what do you need
• 9:38
  to do in your own life to prepare when you meet Jesus?
• 9:42
  Because we can be prepared in advance of meeting Jesus to be
• 9:47
  able to come into the presence of the Lord in confidence,
• 9:51
  knowing that we did all that we could and that we had the Holy
• 9:54
  Spirit, that that the Holy Spirit is the one who changes
• 9:59
  us. We're not doing it on our own.
• 10:00
  We're relying 100% on God to make this transformation in our
• 10:05
  life from a sinful person into a person that is more holy like
• 10:12
  God. Because God says be holy,
• 10:15
  because I am holy, his kingdom's going to be holy.
• 10:18
  And we're going to be thankful for that.
• 10:19
  We're there's nothing bad that's going to be in his Kingdom and
• 10:23
  it's going to be this, you know, God's trying to prepare us.
• 10:26
  He's given us this prophecy so that we can know what's coming,
• 10:30
  but we can't just ignore it. We have to pay attention, keep
• 10:35
  watch of what's going on today and come back and stay in this
• 10:40
  podcast, especially these prophetic books, which are
• 10:42
  really interesting. So I hope you join again and
• 10:45
  listen to more chapters. Chapter 53 is coming up next.
