“Keep silence before Me, O coastlands, and let the people renew their strength! Let them come near, then let them speak; Let us come near together for judgment.” Isaiah 41:1
Coastlands, in the eyes of the Spirit of the Lord, represent all the places that are spiritually more sand and rock than anything else. Those coastlands represent a place where there is not enough good soil to produce belief in God the Creator, nor to sprout with the planted seed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, nor to blossom with the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
The spiritual coastlands are to keep silence in the presence of the Lord and allow people to renew their strength by coming to Him, through Christ Jesus, in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The coastlands are to let people come near to Him by the remission of sin, and to let people speak about their born-again testimony [which is the Gospel of Christ written on our heart].
The Lord encourages the spiritual coastlands to come together with Him for judgment, to judge what is happening in this world. In that coming together, the spiritual coastlands are to determine for themselves that what is happening today is being done by His hand.
“Who raised up one from the east? Who in righteousness called him to His feet? Who gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? Who gave them as the dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow? Who pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feet?” Isaiah 41:2-3
In those verses, the Spirit of the Lord is saying that He is the one who raises up the governors of nations by the power of His righteousness. World leaders are instruments in His hand to do as He intends to do within this world. He raises up those with global power to rule over nations and gives them the authority to kill and destroy upon this earth. Our Lord God gives the global rulers of today to do what no government has ever done before, to be victorious where there are no “boots on the ground”.

We might wonder how God, in His righteousness, could allow the government of the beast to have global dominion on all seven continents and over the world’s population. The answer is very simple, because the masses of the population do not believe in God the Creator, do not feel a need for the forgiveness of unbelief through Jesus Christ, and do not want the Holy Spirit to be part of who they are. In the righteousness of our Lord, He gives governing power to the power of darkness to rule over the masses of people who are hardened against Him and willing to be governed by the power of darkness. As our lord Jesus says, “…this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:53 The global government rules over peoples and nations everywhere through the beast that has power over physiology to be able to govern by giving people what to say, do, think, and feel.
The world’s population has been turned into spiritual dust and stubble as the government of the beast pursues them by the way that no human feet has ever gone before. Conquering by the way where no feet have ever gone refers to the new territory of the beast that does not rule by conventional methods. The beast conquers, rules, and governs from within physiology, to manipulate thoughts and feelings to influence what people say and do. At no other time in history has there been the ability to rule people from within. We are living in the days of the government of the beast where the temple of God, our body, has been turned into the seat of government for beast. The beast sits within people as if 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 Click for a post on that.
Daniel also speaks of going in a way that does not include “boots on the ground”, as quoted, “And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; ” Daniel8:5 The context of that verse refers to traveling from the coast of the Unite States of America, across the ocean, to drop the bomb on Japan towards the end of World War 2. Germany and Japan were defeated. Airplanes that were capable of doing all of that weren’t created until about 1939. All of that is described in the post on Daniel 8:1-14.
Below is the text from Daniel 8:3-7;
“Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great. And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.
“Who has performed and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He.’” Isaiah 41:4
What more can be said? The Lord has been in control over the generations of world powers, and He will be with all of us who believe in Him until the end. He will be with the last of the faithful few to the very end…He is the Alpha and the Omega, “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.” Revelations 22:6
“The coastlands saw it and feared, the ends of the earth were afraid; They drew near and came. Everyone helped his neighbor, and said to his brother, “Be of good courage!” So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith; He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil, saying, “It is ready for the soldering”; Then he fastened it with pegs, that it might not totter.” Isaiah 41:5-7
The spiritual coastlands are the masses of people around the world without belief in God the Creator, who reject Christ Jesus, and do not want the Holy Spirit to be part of who they are. On all seven continents, to the ends of the earth, they fear the beast that has power over their physiology and is able to give them what to feel and think to influence what they say and do. Our Lord Jesus says, “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
Because the people of the world fear the beast, they draw near and come to serve the beast as a global culture, as quoted, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelations 13:8 They honor one another and pride themselves in the “family” culture that they create in the form of Godliness but denying the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone helps his neighbor and says to those who allow the beast to speak and live through them, “Be of good courage!” Our Lord Jesus says, “But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?” John 5:42-44
Members of the culture of the beast encourages the work that each one does for the beast. That work includes hardening the human spirit against the Gospel of Jesus, against the presence of the Holy Spirit, and against belief in God the Creator. “So the craftsman encouraged the goldsmith; He who smooths with the hammer inspired him who strikes the anvil,” The soldering that the family culture of the beast does is to mandate that people allow the beast to live within their physiology by saying and doing as the beast gives them to say, do, feel, and think. They want to be able to say that another person is ready for the soldering to be fastened with pegs so that the person does not totter in service to the culture of the beast.

“….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.”
