“…from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them…”

Isaiah 48:3-5

“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,” Isaiah 48:3-4

In the post on Isaiah 45:1-7, the Lord spoke of the coming of Cyrus, whom He called by name, before he was even born. The Lord raised up Cyrus to conquer the Babylonian Empire and to release the Israelites from their captivity to the Babylonians. Also, in the post on Isaiah 41:25-29 there is a lot of information about Cyrus.

The Lord God is explaining why He shares with us the things that are to happen before they even happen. He shares prophecy with us, within the Holy Bible, because we wouldn’t believe any other way. If our Lord Jesus Christ would have just showed up, unannounced, who would believe His own word that He was the Christ and Son of God and was able to give the Holy Spirit by forgiving sin? We all have inherited sin that makes it very difficult to believe what God has for us without some type of proof that He is a Living God. We are stubborn, we have a stiff neck that refuses to turn our head towards Him, and a forehead that is like bronze and nothing sinks in.

That is why the Old Testament is filled with the prophecy of the coming of our Lord Jesus, thousands of years before His birth. That is known as the “scarlet cord” that runs through the entire Old Testament to point to Jesus as the Christ, Son of God, and Savior of the world. A vivid description of Jesus Christ is given in the posts on Isaiah 53:1-3, and Isaiah 53:4-6, and Isaiah 53:7-9, and Isaiah 53:10-12.

Even as a description of Christ Jesus is given in Isaiah 53, a prophecy of the arrival of the beast is given with a description, as described in the post on Revelations 13. The prophecy of the beast was given a couple thousand years ago and is in the world today, exactly as described in the word of God. There is a presence in the world today that has power over physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. The beast gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak by speaking and living through people. By what people are given to say and do, they are conformed to the mark, number, name of the beast.

The word of God also says that the beast sits within the temple of God as if is God, and we are the temple of God…the temple of the Holy Spirit. The beast sits within people by giving what to feel, think, say, and do 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.

Also, we have been warned about global warming through the prophecies given by the Lord God. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9.

God expects us to repent of our unbelief and to live for Him by faith, faith in Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. How can we know if we have the Holy Spirit? If we do not speak against Jesus and say that He is Lord, then we have the Holy Spirit, “Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

“Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came 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.’” Isaiah 48:5

Today, we see the various signs of fulfilled prophecy upon us, which the idol, or god, of this world is not able to speak about and certainly not able to forecast. That false god empowers people with uncanny knowledge and heightened intuition so that they seem to know everything. They even boast, “I see!”, or “I know!”, or “I can be!” and even goes as far as to boast in their attitude and behavior, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelations 13:4 They serve the idol that gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. They welcome the empowerment of the image of the beast that is given breath/life to speak by speaking and living through them.

Because God has already declared the events that will happen in this world, it is not possible for the culture of the beast, which is global, to say that all of what is happening in this world is because their idol has caused it to be that way. If they did try to claim the prophecies of the Bible in their benefit, they wouldn’t be able to. They are not able to admit there is a presence in this world that has power over physiology to give people what to say and do. They are not able to say that the global government is the government of the beast, and they are not able to say that they are indeed the culture of the beast.

The United Nations was formed in 1945, immediately after World War 2, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in the post on Daniel 8:1-14 and also the post on Revelations 17.

Because God has already declared to us what is happening in the world today, today’s culture is progressing in their intent to drive the Holy Bible into extinction, to drive the way of Christ into extinction, and to drive the whole of Christianity into extinction. That is described in the post on Revelations 12.

The word of God will not fade away, “…because “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25 [quoted from Isaiah 40:8] Every Bible could be removed from the face of the earth, but the word that God has spoken will not fade away. For example, God has already said that He has sent global warming as the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9. If nobody was able to read that from the pages of the Bible anymore, the word of God would still stand, and global warming would continue to increase in intensity as time progresses forward.

“Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar.” Romans 3:4

The government of the beast tries to spin the narrative of Bible prophecy to fit the mold of their agenda. The global population is deceived by smooth words and flattering speeches as they live in ignorance of the word of God, “…and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple…having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” Romans 16:18, 2 Timothy 3:5

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’

Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
