Isaiah 66

Does Isaiah 66 tell the story of redemption from beginning to end? IS THIS THE RAPTURE REVEALED THAT WE NEVER SAW BEFORE???

*MY WORDS and or scripture insertions are in orange.  If you read just Isaiah 66 first and then read just my words in orange and then read them together…well, you decide, but I think it is pretty fascinating!!  Maranatha!

Heaven Is God’s Throne

66 Thus says the Lord,

“Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.
Where then is a house you could build for Me?
And where is a place that ^[a]I may rest?
² “For My hand made all these things (IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED IT ALL),
Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.(HE IS SEARCHING THE EARTH FOR THOSE HE CAN CALL HIS OWN)

Hypocrisy Rebuked

³ “But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering is like one who offers swine’s blood;
He who ^[b]burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
⁴ So I will choose their ^[c]punishments
And will bring on them what they dread. (SOON COMING JACOB’S TROUBLE/THE TRIBULATION)
Because I called, but no one answered; (HE CAME AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT) 
I spoke, but they did not listen.
And they did evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”

(AN ANNOUCEMENT COMES TO THE CHURCH WHO DID CHOOSE HIM THE FIRST TIME)
⁵ Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name’s sake, (THE BRETHEREN/FALLEN AWAY TO THE CHURCH-FELLOW BELIEVERS)
Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified”, (LIP SERVICE BUT THEY DO NOT “KNOW” HIM-THEY HAVE LITTLE OIL) but he shall appear to your joy.’ (HEBREWS 9:28 – HE WILL APPEAR TO THOSE WHO AWAIT HIM)
But they will be put to shame. (1JOHN 2:28 ABIDE IN HIM SO THAT WHEN HE APPEARS, WE MAY HAVE CONFIDENCE AND NOT SHRINK AWAY FROM HIM IN SHAME AT HIS COMING)      
⁶ “A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple (1THESS 4:16 THE LORD WILL DECEND WITH A SHOUT)                                                                                                       The voice of the Lord who is rendering recompense to His enemies. , (ISAIAH 18:3 ALL YOU INHABITNANTS OF THE WORLD AND DWELLERS OF THE EARTH…..AND AS SOON AS THE TRUMPET IS BLOWN YOU WILL HEAR IT!)

⁷ “Before she travailed, she brought forth; (BEFORE THE SIGN IN THE MAZZAROTH/REV 12?? SPECULATION..)
Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.
⁸ “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be ^[d]born in one day? (OTHER TRANSLATIONS SAY “SHALL THE EARTH BE MADE TO BRING FORTH IN ONE DAY? – THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISING??) STRONGS 776 EARTH, LAND, EARTH THE GROUND, COUNTRY
Can a nation be brought forth all at once? (STRONGS 1471 NATION, PEOPLE, GENTILES, EVERY NATION, HERDS, WOW! COULD THIS BE THE CHURCH AND NOT ISRAEL EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BORN IN A DAY? WE WILL BE ‘BORN’ OR RAPTURED AS A GROUP ALL AT ONCE
As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons. (NOW HERE WE HAVE ISRAEL, AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO US, THEN GIVES BIRTH TO HER OWN SONS/BELIEVERS DURING THE TRIBULATION)
⁹ “Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord. (ROMANS 11:25 A MYSTERY WE ARE NOT TO BE IGNORANT OF ….AFTER THE FULL NUMBER OF THE GENTILES/CHURCH COMES IN, GOD WILL TURN HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS ISRAEL)
“Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God. (THE CHURCH IS FULL, NOW HE WILL RESCUE A REMNANT OF ISRAEL’S SONS DURING THE TRIBULATION)

Joy in Jerusalem’s Future

¹⁰ “Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her;
Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her, (WHO IS HE TALKING TO? THE CHURCH! WHO ELSE LOVES HER?)
¹¹ That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts,
That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom.”
¹² For thus says the Lord, “Behold, I extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
And you will ^[e]be nursed, you will be carried on the ^[f]hip and fondled on the knees.
¹³ “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;
And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.” (HE FORTELLS OF THE SOON COMING MILLENIALL KINGDOM)
¹⁴ Then you will see this, and your heart will be glad,
And your bones will flourish like the new grass;
And the hand of the Lord will be made known to His servants, (ISAIAH 63:1 ...WHO IS THIS THAT COMES FROM EDOM?,,,,)
But He will be indignant toward His enemies.
¹⁵ For behold, the Lord will come in fire
And His chariots like the whirlwind, CHARIOTS? WOW!
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
¹⁶ For the Lord will execute judgment by fire
And by His sword on all flesh,
And those slain by the Lord will be many. JOEL 3:2 GATHER THE NATIONS TO THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT FOR JUDGMENT   REV 19:15 STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS
¹⁷ “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens,
^[g]Following one in the center,
Who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,
Will come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

¹⁸ “For I ^[h]know their works and their thoughts; ^[i]the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. ¹⁹ I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, ^[j]Put, Lud, ^[k]Meshech, Tubal and ^[l]Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. ²⁰ Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. ²¹ I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites,” says the Lord. THE MILLENIAL KINGDOM ISAIAH 9:7 THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE INCREASE TO HIS GOVERNMENT)

²² “For just as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I make will endure before Me,” declares the Lord,
“So your offspring and your name will endure.
²³ “And it shall be from new moon to new moon
And from sabbath to sabbath, THE GREAT 8^TH DAY – THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH/ETERNITY FUTURE
All ^[m]mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the Lord.
²⁴ “Then they will go forth and look
On the corpses of the men
Who have ^[n]transgressed against Me.
For their worm will not die
And their fire will not be quenched;
And they will be an abhorrence to all ^[o]mankind.” ETERNITY IN HELL FOREVER
