Isaiah 47

Good Morning “God Knowers.”
Today we are in Isaiah 47.  

God used Babylon to discipline His children, but it went to her head.  Babylon displayed no mercy.  

“I was angry with my people and desecrated my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke.” Isaiah‬ ‭47‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Remember Babylon is a picture of every false god and religion.  The evil one uses our own flesh, our own desires, and ambitions to lure us away from The Truth and into worship of anything but The One True God (James 1:14).  It often appears good - sounds right when unchecked by The Word of God. “…Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Make no mistake his ultimate goal is ALWAYS our destruction.  

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In this chapter, we see both near term prophecy of Babylons destruction through Cyrus The Great, and the ultimate destruction of Babylon and every false god, idol, and system as God ultimately defeats the lies in the process of crushing the evil one once and for all (Revelation 18).

We know how it ends.  God wins!  Press into His Word!  Know It and know Him so well you cannot be fooled by the counterfeit.  

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Love you all!  Dig in!
