Isaiah 51

Everlasting Salvation for Zion

1 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn;

2 look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was but one, and I blessed him and made him many.
THe wastelands are going to be like the GARDEN OF THE LORD.......

4Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: The law will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations.

Here we are given a view of the kingdom on earth, with Jesus as King finally bringing true justice to the earth. Peace on earth and good will towards men!!

5 My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm.

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last for ever, my righteousness will never fail.

7Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults.

8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last for ever, my salvation through all generations.

9Awake, awake! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?

10 Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that the redeemed might cross over?

11 The ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

After ARMEGEDDON a new heaven and a new earth.

12I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass,

13 that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?

14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread.

15 For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar? the LORD Almighty is his name.

16 I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand? I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, 'You are my people.'

Israel and some of the Jews make it through the wars to come.

The Cup of the LORD's Wrath

17 Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, you who have drained to its dregs the goblet that makes men stagger.

Jersusalem will be attacked by Russia and the Arabs, suffer defeat, many are killed in the wars to come.

18 Of all the sons she bore there was none to guide her; of all the sons she brought up there was none to take her by the hand.

19 These double calamities have come upon you? who can comfort you?? ruin and destruction, famine and sword? who can console you?

20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like antelope caught in a net. They are filled with the wrath of the LORD and the rebuke of your God.

21Therefore hear this, you afflicted one, made drunk, but not with wine.

22 This is what your Sovereign LORD says, your God, who defends his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup that made you stagger; from that cup, the goblet of my wrath, you will never drink again.

23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you,'Fall prostrate that we may walk over you.' And you made your back like the ground, like a street to be walked over.

Jesus returns to save His people before they are utterly destroyed! May God bless your study of His Holy Bible
