Jesus, the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53
I think when read in its entirety, it is difficult (if not impossible) to assign the identity of the servant picture in the text to the nation of Israel. It simply doesn’t fit because of numerous problems. I view this section as applying to the Messiah and the Messiah is Jesus. These verses leading up to chapter 53 strikes a contrasting note in just several verses.
One Official Watches Over Another Official, and There Are Higher Officials Over Them
In our society today, I see many people who are doing as much as they can to gain as much wealth as possible. Many of these individuals are on the left. They talk a good talk about “sharing the wealth” and meeting the needs of the oppressed. However, they are concerned about themselves and they are building their little kingdoms off the backs of hard-working individuals throughout the world. They wish to live in splendor and ease while the rest of the world slaves away.
Seven Heads, Ten Horns, and the Revived Roman Empire, Pt 2
It is reasonable to conclude then, that the beast that comes out of the sea – with seven heads and four horns – essentially comes from all the previous empires that existed. Here is Revelation 13:1b. “Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.” These seven heads really represent the previous four kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman. Why seven heads?
The Very Interesting Thing About the Last Beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13
But what I find most interesting is that there definitely appears to be a group of individuals deep in the shadows who have been controlling many events worldwide for decades. If true, then in essence, they are actually ruling the world now in spite of the fact that it appears that presidents and leaders of countries throughout the world are actually leading nations.
Are We in the Final Stages Before the New World Order Becomes Reality?
We need to remember that God’s plans must come to fruition. Part of His plans allow Satan to rule over the world through his spiritual son (just prior to the return of Jesus), the Antichrist. If you stop to consider it, this will be the fulfillment (or at least the last attempt) of Satan to bring his own promises of eons ago to pass when he said he would “raise [his] throne above the stars of God, And [would] sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north,” (Isaiah 14:13). “Stars of God” is most likely a reference to the angelic realm, as also used in the book of Job.
Wisdom Does Not Mean Always Making the Correct Decision
We know that knowledge is the acquiring of information or learning. Wisdom is knowing how to apply that knowledge. Knowledge helps someone to understand that electricity runs through a light socket. Wisdom tells the person not to put their finger in that light socket. Better use of wisdom causes a person to put a light bulb in that light socket so that the light it gives off is beneficial to those around.
America’s Decline is Evidenced in the Demise of the Culture
The demise of American culture began decades ago, with people like President Woodrow Wilson and his chief of staff, who was very fond of Marxism. Much of it was underground and behind the scenes until it bubbled over onto the surface of America during the 1960s when the so-called cultural revolution hit society. From that point onward, America changed and it is still changing. Here’s what one author writes about that period of time.
Islam Makes Itself Continually Harder to Respect and Appreciate
But I guess this does not apply to Muslims. They are allowed to pretty much do whatever they want to do and the federal government says it’s fine. The notice from the TSA was issued July 2nd. It’s almost as if the government is saying that this is what we may well see while traveling and we’d better not interfere.
Cowering Under Islam’s Presence is Becoming the Norm
The real tragedy is what Islam continues to do to freedom in society. The idea that people who have committed no crime (except the perceived crime of telling the truth) can be kept out of a country is abysmally evil. It is profoundly wicked. It is bowing to Islam.
An Open Letter to Sen. Chuck Schumer: Your Hypocrisy is Astounding
Now you want to force your immigration bill onto society for one purpose and one purpose only: it’s to get instant Democrats who will be able to legally vote (as opposed to illegally voting as many of them have done in the past). This will virtually guarantee that Democrats win elections when push comes to shove, won’t it Senator? You know these illegal aliens turned instant citizens are not going to vote GOP. An unintended (but “necessary”) issue means unemployment will also go up instantly along with Welfare rolls.
