“I have made you hear new things from this time, even hidden things,”

Isaiah 48:6-8

 “You have heard; See all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.” Isaiah 48:6

The Lord God was speaking of the new thing that He was about to do for the Israelites who were in captivity to the Babylonians. Instead of placing their faith in the old miracles of the past, as if God was dead and no longer working in the present and future, they had heard about the new things that He was going to do to free them. The new things were hidden things that no one could have known about, and the Israelites did not hear of those things from wooden idols. Then would the Israelites declare their belief in the word of God?

The new thing that God was going to do was to call Cyrus by name, long before he was born, as the one who would conquer the Babylonian Empire and free the Israelites from their captivity to the Babylonians. Cyrus is described in the post on Isaiah 45:1-7 and also the post on Isaiah 41:25-29. That was a hidden thing because no military commander would have revealed those top-secret plans, not to anyone whatsoever, especially not to the Israelites. That was a new revelation that God gave to them, apart from the old miracles of the Red Sea crossing, sending the Ten Plagues upon Egypt, etc. They had never heard of any new thing, so fresh, so relevant, and so desired. The Israelites did not know those new things from the Scriptures because they weren’t recorded in the Bible, yet.

Today, we have heard that Jesus Christ brings the forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and the Holy Spirit. John3:16 is a verse known worldwide that was written about 2000 years ago and says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”. The work of God did not end 2000 years with the death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus. He continues to do new things to fulfill His word within this world. For example, what are the chances of global warming and the global government coming together at the exact moment in time? That is by the hand of God…He is doing a new thing in this world today!

Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9 and is sent as judgment against the government of the beast and its global culture. 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 in the post on Revelations 17. The more powerful the United Nations become as the undisputed one world government the more intense the effects of global warming becomes.

The Lord God has even revealed the new hidden things to us and warns the generation of today against living by Satan’s deep secrets, “….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.” Revelations 2:24-25. What are Satan’s deep secrets? They are something that the majority of the world, living by the power of darkness, are keeping silent about but every follower of Jesus Christ is aware of. Those secrets involve not speaking about the presence in this world that has power over physiology and is able to give people what to say, do, think, and feel. Today’s culture, which is global, welcomes the image of the beast that is given breath/life to speak by speaking and living through them. They are being conformed to the mark, name, number of the beast. The Lord has indeed reveled to us even the hidden things!

The most wondrous new and hidden thing revealed to every believer is the internal presence of the Holy Spirit living within us. How can we know that we have the Holy Spirit? If we do not speak against Jesus and say that He is Lord, 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

“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.” Colossians 1:24-29

“They are created now and not from the beginning; And before this day you have not heard them, lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’ Surely you did not hear, surely you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.” Isaiah 48:7-8

The prophecy about Cyrus wasn’t in any Old Testament Scriptures but created new from the mouth of Isaiah by the Spirit of the Lord. The Israelites weren’t able to say they had already heard about it because it was something brand new, never before spoken.

The specific prophecies of the Bible that are happening in our day could not have been experienced by any generation before ours. Noone can say that what is happening today was present in the world from the beginning of time, although they would say in some way, “Of course I knew them.” Those of the culture of the beast desires to downplay the prophecies of the Bible and to normalize the presence of the beast that is in the world today.

Satan’s beast has his reign on this earth for “42 months“, and the beginning of the beast’s reign began in 1945, when the United Nations was formed and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in the post on Daniel 8:1-14. The end of the beast’s reign happens when the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11.

The world we live in today is unlike anything that this world has ever seen before from the beginning of time, as the Spirit of the Lord says, “A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them,” Joel 2:2b. They are those who boast in their attitude and behavior, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelations 13:4 The beast empowers them with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and knowledge, amazing physical abilities, uncanny authority over others, fabricated emotions, etc.

Today, like never seen from the beginning of time, the population of the world on all seven continents are being united as one global culture. The culture of the beast. They are united by the beast that gives them what to say, do, think, and feel. The global government promises to their global population to bring salvation of the planet and humanity by creating an earthly Garden of Eden through the “Sustainable development Goals “of the United Nations. “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; Surely nothing will escape them.” Joel 2:3 Global warming is bringing chaos to their plan for an earthly paradise, and is the Fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9.

The Lord God says to those who do not believe His word, “Surely you did not hear, surely you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.“

Our Lord knows what is within people, that without His Son Jesus Christ we deal very treacherously with His Holy word and with one another, “Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.” John 2:24-25 All of humanity are transgressors from the womb, every single person has been born in sin, inherited from Adam and Eve, “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 Because of that sin, people turn away from Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit and they don’t have a clue of the new things that He is doing in this world. They are deaf, blind, and mute and don’t have a clue about the fulfillment of prophecy happening in today’s world.

Even as transgressors, born in sin, we are “…justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” Romans 3:24 Whoever believes on the name of Christ Jesus will be saved. He gave His life on the Cross to atone for sin, and God resurrected Him from the grave after three days. Because He lives, we will live eternally with him.

Concerning the global culture that lives by the power of darkness, the Spirit of the Lord says, “A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them,” Joel 2:2

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