ISAIAH 48:18-19:
1.) IF YOU HAD HEARKENED TO MY COMMANDMENTS, THEN YOUR PEACE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS A RIVER
2.) THEN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WOULD HAVE BEEN AS THE WAVES OF THE SEA
3.) THEN YOUR SEED WOULD HAVE BEEN AS THE SAND OF THE SEA
4.) THEN THE OFFSPRING OF YOUR BOWELS WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE GRAVEL IN THE SEA
5.) THEN YOUR NAME AS A NATION WOULD NOT OF BEEN CUT OFF OR DESTROYED AS A KINGDOM BEFORE ME
NOW HERE IS WHAT ISAIAH SAID AS PROPHESY YET UNFULFILLED; ISAIAH 47:1-15:
"COME DOWN, AND SIT IN THE DUST, O VIRGIN DAUGHTER OF BABYLON, SIT ON THE GROUND:
THERE IS NO THRONE, O DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS: FOR THOU SHALT NO MORE BE CALLED TENDER AND DELICATE....THY NAKEDNESS SHALL BE UNCOVERED...ISAIAH 47:1-15..."
ISAIAH 43:10&13
"'YOU ARE MY WITNESSES,' SAYS THE LORD, 'AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, THAT YOU MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE, ME', AND 'UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE, BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NOR SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD, And besides me there is no SAVIOR.'"
"THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN DELIVER OUT OF MY HAND; I WORK, AND WHO WILL REVERSE IT."
ISAIAH 48:1-22;
"HEAR THIS;...WHO ARE CALLED BY THE NAME OF ISRAEL...
I HAVE DECLARED THE FORMER THINGS FROM THE BEGINNING; THEY WENT FORTH FROM MY MOUTH, AND I CAUSED THEM TO HEAR IT. SUDDENLY I DID THEM, AND THEY CAME TO PASS; BECAUSE I KNEW THAT YOU WERE OBSTINATE, AND YOUR NECK WAS AN IRON SINEW, AND YOUR BROW BRONZE, EVEN FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE DECLARED IT TO YOU BEFORE ITCAME TO PASS I PROCLAIMED IT TO YOU, LEST YOU SHOULD SAY, 'MY IDOL HAS DONE THEM, AND MY CARVED IMAGE AND MY MOLDED IMAGE HAVE COMMANDED THEM."
HERE WE FIND THAT BABYLON'S DESTRUCTION WILL COME IN THE LAST DAYS BY ISRAEL AS PROPHECIED IN ISAIAH 47. IN ISAIAH 48:1-22; THE LORD TELLS ISAIAH THE REASON WHY HE WANTED IT PROPHECIED AHEAD OF TIME SO AS THEY CAN'T SAY IT WAS THEIR IDOLS AND THEIR CARVED IMAGES THAT DID IT...ISAIAH 48:5.
SO WE ARE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTIME NOW THE LORD GOD HIMSELF WILL BRING TO PASS, FAST, WHAT HE SPOKE THROUGH ISAIAH 48:3; AS HE SAID IN VERSE 4, BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW THEIR NECKS WERE LIKE IRON, AND THEIR BROWS LIKE BRONZE. WE CAN EXPECT THIS TO BE FULFILLED IN OUR DAYS...
