Isaiah – The fifth Hebrew gospel – Chapter 57

Download Notes

Isa. 57. 1 The tzadik man perishes, and no man takes it to lev: and merciful and kind men are taken away, none considers that the tzadik is taken away from the evil to come.

Chapter 57 begins with a lament for the righteous are removed from impending judgment – the righteous being taken away NOT before the Great Tribulation, but immediately proceeding the Day of יהוה – foreshadowed by the Feasts of Yom Terurah and the judgment on the final Yom Kippur. 

Matt 24:31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

The righteous find peace in death, escaping the turmoil, the dead who die in יהוה are blessed and find rest from their labors.

Rev 14:13 And I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they shall rest from their labors, and their works follow them.

This separation anticipates the final judgment described in Matthew 25:31-46, where the righteous and unrighteous are eternally divided.

2 He shall enter into shalom: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his tzedakah. 3 But come here, you sons of the sorceress, the zera of the adulterer and the whore. 4 Against whom do you play games? Against whom do you open your mouth wide, and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the zera of falsehood? 5 Comforting yourselves with idols under every green eytz, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks? 

As the last days approach their opposition to believers becomes emboldened, stronger, more deceptive. John 8:44 refers to those opposing Yahusha as being in this camp and influenced by Satan.

The term “sorceress” attests to the activities of a satanic cult operating behind the scenes to compulsively oppress and deceive the righteous, using them as scapegoats. 

The satanic cult, justify themselves that by tyrannizing the righteous they do God a service. Jn 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own.

It’s putting forth leaves, yet not producing the fruits of the Kingdom and has deceived the whole world, even the mainstream Christian communities because it bears a familiar biblical name. 

This satanic clique brought the fig tree back to life in 1948, but what leaves has it brought forth in it’s season upon this earth? 

Yeshayahu 10:20 “And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob.”

The remnant isn’t and never will be Judah!

Luke 19:14 But his citizens hated him. And they sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this one to reign over us. 

V. 27 But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

 If a country and its citizens refuse to let Yahusha reign over them then Yahusah says, “Those who don’t want me to reign over them, slay them before me.”

Matthew 24:12 predicts an increase in wickedness, paralleling Isaiah’s condemnation of idolatry and corruption in the lead up to the Great Tribulation. 

But there’s hope, hope of the ingathering of the faithful. Revelation 7:9 depicts a multitude from every nation standing before יהוה, purified and delivered, resonating with the prophetic hope for the righteous in this chapter. 

Isaiah contrasts the fate of the wicked, describing idolatrous practices and spiritual adultery. The New Testament warns against this type of apostasy in the end times (2 Timothy 3:1). 

The imagery of sorcery and unfaithfulness aligns with Revelation 18’s depiction of Mystery Babylon’s fall a result of an occultic-Lucerferic clique’s ultimate rebellion against יהוה. 

6 Among the smooth stones of the river is your portion; they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a grain offering. Should I receive comfort in these works? 7 Upon a proud and high mountain have you set your bed: even there you went up to offer sacrifices. 8 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have gone up and uncovered yourself to another other than Me; you have enlarged your bed, and made a brit with them also; you loved their bed where you saw their hand. 9 And you went to the Molech with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did lower yourself even to Sheol. 

Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves…

Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

The covenant with death is a threefold:

1. religious – synagogue of satan
2. political – political zionism
3. military covenant – war, war, war, all wars are bankers wars  – Rothchild to now Jamie Diamond – and look at their race. 

The world makes a contract between its religious, political and military leaders to try and thwart the plans of the righteous; then and now!

But the Isaiach end time prophecy for the righteous is more powerful than the religious world, more powerful than our political world and corrupt politicians and more powerful than the impending military apocalypse!  

10 You have wearied yourself in your many wanderings; yet you never said I give up and will stop. You have wasted your chayim with the guilt of your hands; therefore you were not grieved. 11 And of whom have you been afraid, or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered Me, nor taken it to your lev? Have not I held My shalom in the past, and you have not feared Me?

The harlot whom יהוה divorces is supplanted by the daughter of Zion, the loyal wife who He marries by an everlasting new covenant – Jer 31:31. 

Judgement is being pronounced; יהוה is currently unmasking the hypocrisy of their pretended righteousness, and leaving them to the protection of the false deities whom they serve,  but who’ll be unable to save them! 

12 I will declare your tzedakah, and your works; for they shall not profit you. 13 When you cry for help, let your collection of idols deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My kadosh mountain; 14 And shall say, Clear up, clear up, prepare the Way back, take away the stumbling-block out of the derech of My people. 

Look at the contrast between those who perish with the wicked with, “those who seek refuge in me,” who inherit the earth.  The “road,” “way” or “path” to יהוהs holy mountain will take the form of a Greater Exodus of his righteous.

יהוהs servant – His voice and mouth has announced it’s time to “prepare the way for יהוהs coming.”

What we’re witnessing in real time now brethren is an EXCAVATION, paving of a highway, cleared of stones…the Isaiach proclamation comes true in our hearing…”see you salvation comes, his reward is with him, his work proceeding him. 

He will come to as redeemer to Zion, to those of Jacob who repent of transgression.  

A Greater Exodus out of all that is occult, wicked and degenerate – the religous-political-miliarty covenant of death of which the wicked have deceived the nations to become signatories to.

15 For this says the High and Exalted One that inhabits eternity, whose Name is Kadosh; I live in the high and Kadosh-Place, with him that is of a contrite and humble ruach, to revive the ruach of the humble, and to revive the lev of the contrite ones.

יהוה in the process of time will suspend His mercy until His justice achieves it’s desired effect. 

16 For I will not strive le-olam-va-ed, neither will I always be angry: for then their ruach would not survive before Me, even the beings that I have made. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and smote him: I hid Myself, and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the derech of his lev. 18 I have seen his halachot, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. 19 I create the fruit of the lips; Shalom, shalom to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says vuvh; and I will heal him. 20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose mayim casts up mud and dirt. 21 There is no shalom, says my Elohim, to the wicked.

Eschatologically in the Isaiach narrative, the faithful are assured a place in יהוהs kingdom, while the unfaithful face the consequences of their choices.

This duality should motivate us to dive deeper into introspection and to renew our commitment to live in accordance with יהוהs divine principles.

The decent even further of the wicked – the ascent out of Babylon and exaltation of the righteous – a great gulf,  a even greater divide has opened up in the world as Isaiah 57 prophecies a division between the righteous and the wicked. 

This division leads us into the times of the final judgment described in Matthew 25:31-46, where the righteous and unrighteous are eternally divided.
