Hear Ye, Hear Ye

From a message the Lord God

revealed to Isaiah the prophet:

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.-Isaiah 51:7-16***The Israelites are the descendants of Adam and Eve, their son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah,  Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). In the beginning, the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Throughout the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the Israelites are sometimes identified as Zion. Moreover, Jerusalem, the city wherein King Solomon built the temple of the Lord, is sometimes identified as Zion, and the City of David is identified as Zion. At least once in the Holy Bible, Egypt is seemingly identified as Rahab. Solomon was from the tribe of Judah, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Over 500 years before Solomon was born, Aaron and his brother Moses were born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, according to the commands of the Lord God. At the Red Sea, after Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, the Lord God caused the Red Sea to go back. The Red Sea was divided and appeared like a wall on the right and on the left, and the Israelites walked safely across. In the morning, after Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, the Red Sea returned to its full depth. The Lord God overthrew into the midst of the Red Sea all of the Egyptians and their chariots. Months thereafter, in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses commands for consecrating the Israelites. After the Israelites were consecrated, the Lord God came down upon the top of Mount Sinai and called to Moses. Moses went upon Mount Sinai and the Lord God spoke to Moses. Moses spoke to the Lord God and the Lord God sent Moses to the Israelites and Moses spoke to them. The Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites. Before Moses, Aaron, Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu, and 70 Israelite elders went upon Mount Sinai, the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites, his treasured and chosen people. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. At the Jordan River, Joshua obeyed the commands of the Lord God, and the Israelites obeyed the commands that Joshua proclaimed to them. The water that flowed from upstream rose in a heap miles away, and the water that flowed downstream ceased and Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River. Approximately 400 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Solomon, the 2nd child born to King David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign. 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. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Isralites to Assyria. During the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Uzziah (Azariah) was the 9th king to rule Judah. Towards the ends of Uzziah's 52-year reign, Isaiah the prophet began proclaiming the words of the Lord God, and throughout the reigns of Uzziah's son King Jotham, and Jotham's son King Ahaz, and Ahaz's son King Hezekiah, the 12th king to rule Judah, Isaiah proclaimed the words of the Lord God to the Israelites. Hezekiah's great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During the reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the 18th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and his mother Nehushta, to Babylon. During the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, 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 Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. The Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that only in the name of Jesus can a person be saved, and there is salvation in no one else nor in any other name.-Genesis 11:26-5:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 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, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Rahab = ra = storm, pride, arrogance, a symbolic name for Egypt

revilings = umiggiddupotam = gidduph/gadaph = insults, vilification
