Yshá`Yâhuw (Isaiah) 44
Post-6th Seal appeal to "Yehuwthím" (Ya`aqóv) to convert, but impostors arise
- So now, O Ya`aqóv, hear My Servant and the ones I chose in Yisrâ’ë´l: 2. Thus says Yâ-hwéh, Who makes you and Who forms you in the womb, He shall help you, you shall not fear My Servant, O Ya'aqóv, and the ones I chose in the upright One, 3. because I shall pour out waters upon the thirsty and floods upon dry land, I shall pour out My spirit upon your Seed and My blessing upon your offspring. 4. Yet there shall spring up among them weeds like Desert-poplars (266) [Populus euphratica (267)] along the waterways, 5. this one, who will say, "I am for Yâ-hwéh!" but this one shall invoke by the name of the Impostor (Ya'aqóv), though this one shall write on his hand, "for Yâ-hwéh" and be titled by the name of Yisrâ’ë´l.
Warning and appeal to the liars of the Lie (Trumpets 1-6)
- Thus says Yâ-hwéh the King of Yisrâ’ë´l: "I am the Foremost, and I am the last, and apart from Me there exist no mighty ones." 7. Yet which one is like Me? Let him [Yisrâ’ë´l] proclaim and let him announce the other one, and let him compare her to Me from My fashioning of the people of antiquity and the ones to come, and let him declare even of them what they shall come to! 8. Ye do not revere and ye do not fear. Wasn't it from long ago that I let you hear it and I declared it [the testimony] and ye are My witnesses? Does there exist a mighty being apart from Me? And there exists no other rock, I hardly know of any! 9. The ones fashioning a hewn image? All of them are unreal, and the things they delight in have hardly any use, and they who witness of them are those who barely shall see and barely shall perceive in order that they may be ashamed; 10. Whoever invents a power or who casts a hewn image shall not profit anything. 11. These, all of their ilk, they shall be put to shame, even the artificers! These are from mankind, let all of them be gathered together, let them take a stand! They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame, altogether. 12. The ironsmith uses pliers and he makes it in the coal and he fashions it with hammers and he makes it by the might of his arm, yet he hungers but there is no sustenance, he doesn't drink water and he grows faint! 13. The carpenter extends a measuring-line, he traces its outline with a marking tool, he works it with a scraping tool, and he traces its outline with the compass, and he prepares it like the figure of a man, a beauty like of a dirt-man, to be set up in a house. 14. He cut down cedars for it, or he maybe fetched a cypress or an oak, and he secured it for himself among the trees of the forest; he planted a fir tree and the rain made it grow up. 15. And it is for mankind to burn, so he fetches some from them and he warms himself; even more, he makes a fire and he bakes bread. Yet he makes a mighty one and he worships it, he makes it a carved image and he prostrates himself to it! 16. Half of it he has burned in the fire, using half he eats meat. He roasts a roast and he is sated; moreover he warms himself and he says, "He’â´ch, I am warm, I have seen the light!" 17. So the rest of it he makes into a carved image for a mighty one; he prostrates himself in homage to it and he worships and he prays to it, and he says, "Rescue me, because you are my mighty one!" 18. They do not recognize and they do not discern because their eyes have been covered from seeing, their hearts from having insight; 19. So it does not occur to his heart, and no knowledge and understanding is saying, "I burned half of it in a fire, and I even baked bread over its embers, I roasted flesh and I ate it, so, should I make the rest of it into an abomination? Should I prostrate myself in homage to a wooden log?" 20. A heart grazing on ashes has been deceived: it has misdirected him, and it will not rescue his life, yet he will not say, "Isn't it a Lie in my right hand?"
Seventh Trumpet events
- Remember these things, O Ya'aqóv, and Yisrâ’ë´l, because you are My servant: I fashioned you – you are a servant for Me, Yisrâ’ë´l, so you shall not forget Me – 22. Look! Because I, Yâ-hwéh, have wiped off like a dark cloud the lawlessness the ones are working one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë´l), and like the fog the errors the ones are working: Be returned, all one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë´l), towards Me, because I shall have liberated you to Myself paying a ransom as your kinsman-redeemer." 23. Shout for joy, O heavens, because Yâ-hwéh has done it! Shout in triumph, O ones beneath the earth! Burst the mountains in a joyous shout, O forest and all of the trees in it, because Yâ-hwéh has redeemed Ya'aqóv [compare Tâ’ówm 12], and He obtains honor for Himself within Yisrâ’ë´l! 24. Thus says Yâ-hwéh, your Redeemer, and Who forms you in the womb: "I am the One, Yâ-hwéh, who has made everything, Who pitched the heavens, Who spread out the earth, by Myself; who was with Me? 25. Who foils the signs of the impostors and Who makes fools of the diviners, Who reverses the wise ones backwards and makes nonsense of their knowledge? 26. Who gives effect to the Word of His Servant, and Who completes the counsel of His envoys, the One saying to Yruwshâláim, "She shall be inhabited", And to the cities of Yâhuwthâ´h, "They shall be built, and I shall raise up her ruins"? 27. The One saying to the ocean depths "Be dry! Even your rivers I shall dry up." [Disclosure 21:1] 28. he who is without regard for the One [~His Anointed (45:1)] dictating to the Supremacy (268) [~the Father] to think of one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë´l), though all the ones (n.) that are belonging to the one (f.) [~unpaired néphesh (sister)] not being the wishes of Me, are who of Me shall work this one [~Yehuwthâ´h]: he who is without regard for the One dictating, "Yruwshâláim of Me, you shall be rebuilt of one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë´l), though not of the one (m.) [being] the house (m.) of the one (n./m.) [~Yehuwthâ´h] not being pure of Me: I shall lay the Foundation."
(266) Despite the establishment translation's references to "willows", whether in Latin or English, the trees growing in Bâvél along the River Phrâth in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), are not willows (Salix) in either the modern or the classical sense, but the Desert poplar or Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica), with willow-like leaves on long, drooping shoots, in the similar genus Populus. Both Populus and Salix are classified in the plant family Salicaceae, the willow family.
(267) Poplars are trees which grow very tall, yet are inferior wood, useless for building or even for firewood. This symbolizes the impostor(s) leeching off the Christians.
(268) The Masoretic reference to Kówresh in 45:1 is proven false by Bar-Nâvíy's quote, and by what is found in LXX. The term here is the dative case of kuros "the Supremacy", which refers to the Father. The yehuwthím altered this in the Masoretic to the name of a Persian ruler to allege to him that he should rebuild their false material temple which serves the adversary.
