Just Obedience

The Lord God

and Isaiah the prophet

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?-Isaiah 20:1-6***Canaan was land inhabited by idolaters that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Joshua was an Israelite from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Ashdod was 1 of the 5 chief cities of the Philistines in Canaan, the Promised Land. After Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, the Philistines were still living in Ashdod and other parts of Canaan. Ashdod was located in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah. Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah. Over 400 years after Joshua, and Eleazar the high priest, and the tribal leaders specified by the Lord God allotted each tribe its portion of the Promised Land, according to the commands that the Lord God gave Moses, Rehoboam, the son born to King Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Isaiah was an Israelite and a prophet of the Lord God. Uzziah (Azariah) was the 9th king to rule Judah. Jotham, the son born to Uzziah and Jerusha (Jerushah), was the 10th king. Jotham's son Ahaz was the 11th king. Hezekiah, the son born to Ahaz and Abi (Abijah) was the 12th king. When Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah reigned, Isaiah received revelations from the Lord God. Uzziah conquered portions of the land surrounding Ashdod during his 52-year reign. Moreover, during Uzziah's reign, the Lord God told Isaiah to put off from himself the garment and footwear he regularly wore, symbolizing the manner that the Assyrian king would eventually have the Egyptians and Ethiopians similarly displayed. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that several of the Israelite kings made plans to depend upon the Egyptians and Ethiopians for help instead of depending upon the Lord God. Solomon was married to the daughter of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and Hezekiah possibly sought an Egyptian king's help. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites captive. During the 9th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Samaria was conquered, Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) became the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the 11th year of the reign of Jehoiakim's brother Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of Solomon and his descendants, all of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 11:1-23, 13:1-33, 15:1-63, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah 4:1-23, 13:1-31, Isaiah 1:1-31, 19:1-20:6, 30:1-31:9, 36:1-37:38, Jeremiah 1:1-19, 37:1-52:1-34, Ezekiel 29:1-30:26, Amos 1:1-15, 3:1-15, Zephaniah 1:1-2:15, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
