YAH Promises To Lift You Up To Rule With Him
1 Listen to me, [inhabitants of earth's] coastlands. [Pay attention,] people [near and] far. From [my mother's] womb, YHVH calls me. He speaks my name [Isaiah] into my mother's heart.
Isaiah, Joshua, and Jesus are the same name pronounced differently. Isaiah = YesheYahu = Yahshua = YAH saves = Joshua = Jesus. This verse is a prophecy of the incomparable modern reach of Isaiah's nearly 3000 year-old writings. Through the mouth of the Messiah, Isaiah's writings have touched more hearts than have any extra-biblical ancient documents.
2 [YAH] makes my mouth a sharp sword, πŸ˜‡. He hides me in the shadow of his hand. He makes me a [pointy] polished shaft [to cut through the world's nonsense]. He conceals me in his arrow-quiver.
3 [YAH] tells me, β€œYou are my obedient one. [You'll] rule-with-me. Through [you] I [show] my splendor [to the universe].”
#6286 pa'ar normally translated β€˜glory’ = shining (beauty) = splendor
4 But then I [get discouraged, πŸ˜‡. I moan], β€˜I keep laboring in vain. [Day after day I slog] through [the world's] chaos. I exhaust my strength for nothing.’ Still I know [that] YHVH holds justice [in store for] me and you. Elohim [guards] my reward [in heaven].
5 YHVH formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring [ancient] Jacob's [brats] back to him. [YAH] announces, β€œWhether Israel regroups [or not, you (Isaiah)] stand glorious in [my divine] eyes.” So YHVH Elohim [fills] me with his strength-spirit, πŸ˜‡.
Our self-esteem comes from YAH's love for us, not from our success nor failure. We are responsible only for bringing YAH's message to the world. The world is responsible for their reaction.
6 YAH continues, β€œYou, my servant, raise up the tribes [spawned] by [ancient] Jacob {Cheater}. You restore those [rare] Israelites whom I guard and preserve [to rule with me]. But that's just your lightweight duty. I also give you as a light to [illuminate] the beast-nations. You eventually [bring] my salvation to the end[s] of the earth.”
This prophecy has come splendidly true. Isaiah's writings are quoted in every country on earth to this day.
7 YHVH, Israel's Redeemer, [the omnipresent] Sacred Sovereign, [encourages you, πŸ˜‡]. [Today] man despises [you]. The beast-nation[s] abhor [you]. [You] slave for tyrants. But [see your future]: Kings see [you] and rise [to their feet]. Princes [fall on their faces] to worship [you]. YHVH, the faithful Holy [King] of Israel, anoints you [to rule the universe with him].
8 YHVH promises, β€œI answer your [prayers] with perfect timing, πŸ˜‡. In your day [of greatest] desperation, I surround you. I rescue you. [I lift you to my fortress of safety in the wide-open plains of heaven.] I preserve you. Through you, I give [my] covenant to [earth's] people. [Together we] stabilize the earth. [We] restore disintegrated ancestries to their [reforested] heritage [lands].
9 You, πŸ˜‡, announce to [the world's] bound-slaves, β€˜Break out [of the devil's prison]!’ [You] command refugees crouching in darkness, β€˜Come out into the [light]!’ [The starving fugitives] feed along [pastoral] paths. They [graze] on all [earth's] high [mountain] plateaus.
10 [My redeemed people] never [again] hunger nor thirst, πŸ˜‡. The searing-wind and sun never [again] strike them. Their merciful [Messiah] leads them. He guides them by springs of [eternal] water.
YAH Promises To Bring Your Real Family To You
11 I eventually make roadways [through] all my mountains, πŸ˜‡. I build up [wide] β€˜highways’ [for you, my people, to travel through the universe and beyond].
12 Watch, πŸ˜‡: streams [of believers] flock [to New Jerusalem] from the [four winds]. Look [into the future]. One [flock migrate] from the north, [another] from the western [sea]; others from the land of China [or Africa].
Lit. β€˜Sinim’. Occurs in scripture only here.
13 [The believers sing,] β€˜Shout-for-joy, heavens! Spin-in-ecstasy, earth. Break forth into screeches of joy, [everyone on all] mountains! YHVH comforts his people. [He] keeps showing mercy to his afflicted [believers].’
Shout sing heavens, spin around o earth, Mountains erupt in melody. 'cause Yahweh keeps comforting his people, and loving us up out of our distress.
14 Yet [the ingrates huddled in Jerusalem beneath mount] Zion [whine], β€œYHVH has forsaken me. My Adonai has forgotten me.”
15 YHVH's Family" href="?themes=16.3" target="The_Theme_Of_Sonship in Father YHVH's Family"> Can a woman forget her nursing baby, πŸ˜‡? Can she lose compassion for the child of her womb? Well even if [some psycho]-moms forget [their kids], I'll never forget you [believers].
16 Look, πŸ˜‡. I have engraved your [name] into the palms of my hands. Jerusalem, I [watch over] your [city] walls nonstop.
You Have Countless Spiritual Children
17 [Eventually] your children rush home [to you], πŸ˜‡. [Today] destroyers turn your [life] into a desert. But in time, the [ravagers] flee far from you.
18 Lift up your eyes all around you, πŸ˜‡. See [your future]. All these [believers (your offspring)] gather themselves together. They flock to you. As I live,” YHVH says, β€œyour [spiritual and physical progeny eventually shine up your life] like a bridal dress made of millions of tied-together jewels.”
19 Your [current] wastelands, your desolate places, your demolished earth, come to overflow with [happy, well-fed] inhabitants. The [consumers] who swallowed you down end up far away.
20 You've lost [many] children, πŸ˜‡. But you have many more. They'll [cry] in your ears, β€œThe [earth] is too small for all of us to fit in. Get us [more planets] to live on with you!”
21 Eventually, πŸ˜‡, you [come to] exclaim in your heart, β€˜Who bore me all these [descendants]? I've lost [so many] children. I [lived] desolate, deported, a migrant slave. Who raised these [followers]? I [struggled through life] alone, abandoned. Where was [my family] hiding?’”
22 Adonai YHVH promises, β€œWatch, πŸ˜‡! I lift up my hand to the beast-nations. I raise my flag over [all] people[s]. They haul your sons [home to you] in their arms. Upon their shoulders, they carry your daughters [to your smiling face].
23 YHVH's Family" href="?themes=16.3" target="The_Theme_Of_Sonship in Father YHVH's Family"> [Today, enemy] kings serve as your [children's] foster-fathers. Queens [work unknowingly as] your wet-nurses. [Eventually these] rulers [come to] bow down to you, πŸ˜‡. Their faces [touch] the earth. They lick up the dust at your feet. Finally you realize that I am YHVH {the-OmniPresent-Sovereign}. No one who waits for Me ends up ashamed.”
YAH Promises To Kill Your Oppressors
24 [Who] can snatch prey from invincible [predators], πŸ˜‡? [Who] can [snatch] slaves [from an] exalted [ruler]?”
25 YHVH decrees: β€œI snatch captives from bulletproof [rulers]. I rescue prey from [the mouths of] predators. I fight whoever fights with you, πŸ˜‡. I save your children.
26 I feed your oppressors with their own flesh, πŸ˜‡. I get them drunk on their own blood, like it's sweet-wine. Eventually all meat-people realize that I, YHVH, Jacob's mighty [deliverer], am your Savior and your Redeemer.”
