 *JUL 15 - ISAIAH 34-35 - FINAL WRATH: ZION RESTORED*


 *1. 34:1 ARMAGEDDON: NATIONS MOBILIZED. “Draw near, O nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.” *Your Kingdom Father, comes
following judgment! Your Kingdom is like the stone of Daniel 2:34-35! Jesus
and Your Church - is that Stone! May it fill the earth. *Hallowed be your
:name!*


 *2. 34:4 (34:2-8) ARMAGEDDON: NATIONS DESTROYED. “And all the host of
heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host
shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig
tree.” *Father, shall not the kingdoms of this world become Yours and Your
Christ’s? Shall not all principalities and powers and Satan himself fall at
that day? Is it not at hand? *Your :kingdom come!*


 *3. 34:16-17 (34:9-17) ARMAGEDDON: LAND FOREVER DESOLATE. “Seek and read
from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be
without her mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his Spirit
has gathered them. 17 He has cast the lot for them with the line; they
shall possess it forever; from generation to generation they shall dwell in
it.” *Just as You mate animals and birds Father, so You *mate
Scriptures*! *Your
:will be done, As in heaven, so on earth.*


 *4. 35:2 (35:1-2) RESTORATION: DESERT AND GARDEN. “It shall bloom
abundantly and rejoice with singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given
it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD,
the majesty of our God.” *After judgment Father, You bring restoration to
Your people. As in the book of Judges, 7 times You did this! *Our :daily
:bread Give us this day.*


 *5. 35:3-4 (35:3-6) RESTORATION: PEOPLE HEALED. “Strengthen the weak
hands, and make firm the feeble knees. 4 Say to those who have an anxious
heart, ‘Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.’” *Yes Father, our
hearts are established and heartened by Your Word! *And forgive us our
:debts, As we also have forgiven our :debtors.*


 *6. 35:7 RESTORATION: LAND HEALED. “The burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where
they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes.” *Father, we need
healing of *our land*! Show us like Daniel (chapter 9) how to pray for its
healing. Fulfill 2 Chronicles 7:14! *And bring us not into temptation!*


 *7. 35:8 (35:8-10) RESTORATION: WAY OF HOLINESS. “And a highway shall be
there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not
pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they
are fools, they shall not go astray.” *It comes, O Father, the fulfillment
and restoration of all Your faithful prophecies! We join in declaring Your
faithful decrees! *But deliver us from the evil one!*


 *NOTE**: 35:10 (35:8-10) RESTORATION OF WORSHIP AND JOY! **“And the
ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and
joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. *Yes, what You O Father
decree, *that* shall certainly come to pass. Following judgment comes
restoration!


 *Our Psalm for the day: 15:1; 5c (15) WHO SHALL DWELL ON YOUR HOLY HILL? “O
LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell in your holy
hill (11identifying marks)? 15c
He who does these things shall never be moved.” *See 2 Peter 1:5-15.
Father, we desire above all else to sojourn in Your *Holy Hill*, in Zion.
We desire to be fruitful 100-fold for Your sake. We are debtor to You
Father for Calvary, for sending Your Son!


 This Psalm of David bears no dedicatory title at all indicative of the
occasion upon which it was written, but it is exceeding probable that,
together with the Twenty-Fourth Psalm, to which it bears a striking
resemblance, its composition was in some way connected with removal of the
ark to the holy hill of Zion. We shall call the Psalm, “The Question and
Answer.” The first verse asks the question; the rest of the verses answer
it.


 15:2 *He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the
truth in his heart. *Observe the accepted man’s *walk, work, *and
*word. *Walking
is far more important than talking. He only is right who is upright in walk
and downright in honesty. His faith shows itself by good works, and
therefore is no dead faith. God’s house is a hive for workers, not a nest
for drones.


 15:3 *He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his
neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor. *All slanderers are
the devil’s bellows to blow up contention, but those are the worst which
blow at the back of the fire. Trapp says that “the tale-bearer carries the
devil in his tongue, and the tale-hearer carries the devil in his ear.”
“Show that man out!” we should say of a drunkard, yet it is very
questionable if his unmannerly behavior will do us so much mischief as the
tale-bearer’s insinuating story. “Call for a policeman!” we say if we see a
thief at his business; ought we to feel no indignation when we hear a
gossip at her work? “Mad dog! Mad dog!” is a terrible hue and cry, but
there are few curs whose bite is so dangerous as a busybody’s tongue.
“Fire! fire!” is an alarming note, but the tale-bearer’s tongue is set on
fire of hell, and those who indulge it had better mend their manners or
they may find that there is a fire in hell for unbridled tongues!


 15:4 *In whose eyes a vile person is condemned; but he honors them that
fear the Lord.* A sinner in a golden chain and silken robes is not more to
be compared with a saint in rags that a rushlight in a silver candlestick
with the sun behind a cloud.


 15:5 *Who does not put out his money at interest. *The Puritanic divines
are almost all of them against the taking of any interest upon money and go
the length of saying that one penny per cent per annum will shut a man out
of heaven if persisted in. The demanding of excessive and grinding interest
is a sin to be detested; the taking of the usual and current interest in a
commercial country is not contrary to the law of love. *(The above notes
are taken from “The Treasury of David” by C. H. Spurgeon, abridged by David
Otis Fuller).*
