"Psalm 24"
I was handing out bibles today people looked at me
like I had three heads. The average Person has no clue and I
never find other bibles in the bus stops just watchtowers. Just
once I would like to find a bible. Most Christians are not
taught that God wants a covenant relationship the new covenant
in newness of spirit not some words on Sunday I pray that those
found watching and praying may be found worthy to escape! We are
truly in the last of the last days everyone is talking about
Christmas presents and meals and I am trying to warn people to
call on their savior before this!
Isaiah 24
1Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.
2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so
with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as
with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of
usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:
for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth
and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they
that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of
the earth are burned, and few men left.
7The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the
merryhearted do sigh.
8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that
rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall
be bitter to them that drink it.
10The city of confusion is broken down: every house is
shut up, that no man may come in.
11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is
darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten
with destruction.
13When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the
people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as
the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the
majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the
name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard
songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my
leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt
treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very
treacherously.
17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O
inhabitant of the earth.
18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the
noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up
out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the
windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth
do shake.
19The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean
dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and
shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof
shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD
shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the
kings of the earth upon the earth.
22And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are
gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and
after many days shall they be visited.
23Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed,
when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in
Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
