Looking to God the Creator, reverence for His Son Jesus Christ, and turning away from the beast.

Isaiah 17:7-8

“In that day a man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 17:7

“In that day” refers to the destruction of the government of the beast and its global culture, which is described in the previous posts on Isaiah 17:1-3 and Isaiah 17:4-6. During that lawless and chaotic time, those who look to the Creator and has respect for the Holy One of Israel will will be repentant of their sin and come to live for Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Holy One of Israel. After the Battle of Armageddon, there is a remnant of the Jewish people who acknowledge Jesus as the Christ and Son of God, as described in the post on Ezekiel 39.

Anyone on this earth, anytime, anywhere can look to God with respect for His Holy Son, Jesus Christ, “…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

“He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands; He will not respect what his fingers have made, nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.” Isaiah 17:8

The altars, work of hands, what the fingers made, the wooden images, and incense altars will not be looked to. Those things form a false god. Those things represent serving something that is not able to give life in the Holy Spirit, is placed above the Living God the Creator, and causes the rejection of the Christ, Jesus.

Today, the false god is the beast that has power over physiology to give people what to speak, do, think, and feel. That beast cannot function in the presence of the Holy Spirit because what it gives people to say and do opposes and blasphemes the Spirit. That beast rejects Jesus Christ because Jesus offers people forgiveness of sin, the grace for repentance, and gives the Holy Spirit to us. The beast sets itself up as God, within the temple of God [our body] as if it is God and is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in that verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

When we look to God as our Creator, and respect His Son as the Christ and our Lord, we do not look to the beast that empowers people through physiology. In the days during the Battle of Armageddon, no one will be able to look to the beast. That’s because the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11. The Battle of Armageddon comes after that in the Sixth Plague of Revelations 16:12-16. Global warming [Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9] is instrumental in bringing the collapse of the power center of the beast.

Whenever people are no longer “hearing”, no longer empowered by the beast with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, uncanny authority over others, extraordinary skills and talents, then the Battle of Armageddon is the next major event to happen on this earth.
