Yshá`Yâhuw (Isaiah) 30 part 1
Woe to sons of Yâ-hwéh who flee to Protestantism [Ychezqë ́’l 29]
- "Hówy to the rebellious sons," declares Yâ-hwéh, "stubborn to accomplish the plan, but not one from Me, and to anoint a cast image, but not of My spirit, in order to heap up error upon error; 2. Who walk descending to Entrenchments (Mitsráyim), yet who did not inquire of My mouth to be strong in the stronghold of Par'óh and to seek refuge in the shadow of Entrenchments (Mitsráyim). 3. So the fortress of Par'óh shall be to you for a shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Entrenchments (Mitsráyim) for a dishonor. 4. Because in the Place of Departure (Tsó'an) are his officials, and his envoys have reached Favor Has Fled (Chânë ́ç). 5. Everyone was ashamed concerning the people, they had no use for them: they were not useful for a help, and not for profit, because they were for a shame and also for a reproach."
People of the Catholic apostasy migrate to and rely on Protestant entrenchments
- The burden of the livestock of the Parched South (217) (Néğev). "In the land of trouble and anguish, from whence are the lion and lioness, the viper and the fiery flying poisonous serpent [the Lie incarnated], pack donkeys carry upon their backs their wealth, and their treasures upon the hump of the camels, down to a people that shall not benefit them. 7. And Entrenchments (Mitsráyim) is vanity, and their help is vain, therefore I am calling this one "The Do-Nothing Boaster". 8. Now go, write it on a tablet for them, and inscribe it on a scroll, so it may exist for a testimony for eternity for a day to come, 9. Because this rebellious ("Marie") people are deceitful sons, sons who are not willing to listen to the instruction of Yâ-hwéh, 10. Who say to the seeing, "Do not look", and to the seers, "Do not visualize the correct things for us; tell us smooth-talk, gaze ye at illusions! 11. Turn off from this Way, thrust away from this path, stop confronting us with the Pure One of Yisrâ’ë ́l!" 12. Therefore this says the Pure One of Yisrâ’ë ́l: Because ye spurn this Word, and ye relied on the Fraud and the distortion, and ye support yourself on it, 13. Therefore this perversion will become for you like a break ready to fall, a bulging in a high wall, which her collapse comes suddenly in an instant! 14. And it will break her like the shattering of the potters' jars being shattered without compassion and there will not be found among its pieces a shard [Proverbs 26:23] to pick up fire from the burning or to bail up waters from a cistern!" 15. Because thus says the Sovereign Yâ-hwéh, the Pure One of Yisrâ’ë ́l: "When you return and groan, then you shall be saved, and you shall know where you were while you trusted on the vanities, that your forcefulness became useless, but you are unwilling to listen!" 16. So you said, "No, because we shall fly to the attack, by Zeus (218)!" For this, you shall flee. "So we will be aided by swift pilots (219)!" For this reason your pursuers shall be swift. 17. One thousand from before the rebuke of one, from before the rebuke of five, ye shall all flee until ye are left behind like a flagpole at the top of the mountain, and like a signal marker on the hill.
Repentance is in order
- Yet therefore Yâ-hwéh tarries, to be favorable to you [~those who enter alive, 2 Këph 3:9], and therefore He shall be lifted up [Songs 89:13, Yâhuwchânâ ́n 3:14, 8:28, 12:31-34], to have favor on you [~those who enter through resurrection], because the Power of justice is Yâ-hwéh, the joy of all who wait in hope for Him, 19. because O people in Tsiyyówn, O inhabitants in Yruwshâláim, you shall surely not weep; He shall surely favor you at the sound of your call for help – as He hears it He shall respond to you: 20. Although my Sovereign will permit you to have the bread of the enemy and the waters of oppression, yet your teachers will not continue to be undercover anymore [MattithYâ ́huw 7:15], and your eyes shall perceive your teachers; 21. And your ears, they shall hear a voice from behind you saying, "This is the Way: walk in Him", whether you turn right or whether you turn left. [Phílippos 72-73] 22. So you shall defile your silver-plating of the graven images, and you shall grind off the mantle of your gold on the cast images [2 Moshéh 32:20] and you shall throw them away like a menstruation (220), "Get out!" you shall say to it. 23. And He shall grant the rain for your Seed that you sow, the terrain and the bread that the country produces, and it shall be rich and robust, your livestock shall graze in that Day in broad plump pastures. 24. And the cattle and the donkeys that till the terrain shall eat seasoned mixture (221) being spread out by the shovel and by the pitchfork.
(217) Spiritual meaning: The south is the opposite direction of the north, and scripturally, spiritually, the north is the direction towards Yâ-hwéh. The lack of water is symbolic of the same.
(218) Literally: "fly to the attack on horseback", or "flee on horseback". The rendition we chose is most consistent with the context of verse 15.
(219) Masoretic: "riding on swift ones". LXX seems more consistent with verse 15, since it is trusting on vanity.
(220) Spiritual meaning: This is a material symbolism of out with the old, in order to renew. The Lie gets planted internally and bears fruit of wickedness. Exposing its falseness kills its roots and it will no more substitute for the Truth within one. Destroying the images of the Lie is part of this spiritual menstruation.
(221) Sounds like fortified animal feed. LXX has "straw mixed with ground barley". Spiritual meaning: workers for the true glad tidings shall be strengthened with good spiritual nutrition when their mission field opens up because they called on Him and divested themselves of the Lie.
