Pleasant plants are planted but the harvest will be a heap of ruins in the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

Isaiah 17:10-11

“Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold…” Isaiah 17:10a

The Spirit of the Lord is speaking about His Son, Jesus, the Christ. He is the Rock and our Stronghold. In order to be the Rock and Stronghold, He made possible our reconciliation to God. He did that when He gave His life on the Cross to forgive sin. By the remission of sin, room is made within our heart and soul for the Holy Spirit. In the Holy Spirit, Jesus becomes the Rock upon which our body is built into the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our stronghold within this world built upon atheism, as the global culture denies God, discards the need for Jesus Christ, and do not want the Holy Spirit to be part of who they are.

This world has forgotten the God of Salvation, and are not conscience of the Rock, Jesus Christ, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:28-29, 25 They choose to serve the beast that gives them what to speak, do, think, and feel. That beast gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak by speaking and living through people everywhere. By what they are given to say and do, they are groomed to the mark, name, number of the beast.

“…everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall...whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. ” Matthew 7:26-27, 24-25

“Therefore you will plant pleasant plants and set out foreign seedlings…” Isaiah 17:10b

Foreign seedlings refers to planting ideas that deny God the Creator, reject Jesus Christ, and oppose the presence of the Holy Spirit. Planting pleasant seeds refers to using righteous sounding words to convince people that salvation of the planet and humanity depends on the will of human beings, “And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’…Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” Matthew 15:9 , Colossians 2:8 The fruit of those doctrines are described in the “Sustainable Development Goals” of the United Nations, which are used to promote the salvation of the planet and humanity. The United Nations was established in 1945, immediately after World War 2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8:1-14.

To build their global culture, they use smooth words and flattering speech to deceive people to live for the beast. We see those smooth words and flattering speech used everyday in the tactics of behavior modification. Pleasant words and behaviors are used when people conform to the will of the culture of the beast, which is to welcome the beast to speak and live through them. “For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:18 Negative social responses are given to people who reject the culture of the beast.

Another aspect of modifying behavior to conform to the culture of the beast is to present something that you want, and when you respond according to their expectations then they will provide that want to you.

“How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?” John 5:44

The pleasant seeds come by people speaking cordially to others to promote the global agenda to create the global culture of the beast. “Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts…having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” Psalms 28:3, 2 Timothy 3:5

As followers of Jesus Christ, we do not serve angels. Serving angels leads to cheating us out of our eternal reward in the New Jerusalem, “Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels…” Colossians 2:18 “…when [Jesus] had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” Hebrews 1:3-4

“In the day you will make your plant to grow, and in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins in the day of grief and desperate sorrow.” Isaiah 17:11

As we see today, the “Sustainable Development Goals” of the United Nations are being planted in cities around world. The global government of the beast, which operates through the United Nations, is making their plant to grow and flourish. We especially recognize one of their major goals, and that is to combat global warming…which they will not be able to do successfully because God has sent global warming as the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9.

In the morning is the bright beginning as the undisputed one world government as the global culture of the beast grows and flourishes. However, towards the evening, things change. Their harvest will be a heap of ruins, a day of grief and desperate sorrow. Their earthly Garden of Eden will be turned to rubble. “A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness…A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them…A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness…” Joel 2:2-3

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:11-12

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
