WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT?

(Isa 53:1) Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (Isa 53:2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (Isa 53:3) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isa 53:4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isa 53:5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isa 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isa 53:7) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Isa 53:8) He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. (Isa 53:9) And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. (Isa 53:10) Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. (Isa 53:11) He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isa 53:12) Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

 

TO WHOM IS THE ARM OF THE LORD REVEALED?

(Isa 53:1-4) Who hath believed [Heb: trusted] our report [Heb: something heard, an announcement: doctrine, news, tidings]? and to whom is the arm [Heb: (as stretched out); fig. force: might, power] of the LORD [Heb: Jehovah] [God] revealed [Heb: disclosed, discovered, uncovered] [i.e., as a revelation]? For he [the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Arm of the LORD] shall grow up [Heb: ascend: spring up] before him [Jehovah God] as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry [Heb: parched; desert: barren, solitary place, wilderness] ground: he hath no form nor comeliness [Heb: magnificence, ornament or splendor: beauty, majesty]; and when we shall see him [in his earthly state], there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised [Heb: disesteemed: disdained, contemptible, scorned] and rejected of men; a man of sorrows [Heb: anguish, fig. afflictions: grief, pain, sorrows], and acquainted with [have intimate knowledge of] grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him [1]; [through our rationalizations] he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne [Heb: carried (away), forgiven, pardoned] our griefs [Heb: maladies, calamities: disease, sickness], and carried [away] our sorrows [Heb: anguish, fig. afflictions: grief, pain, sorrows] [our burdens]: yet we did [ignorantly] esteem [Heb: regard, value: reckon, think] him stricken, smitten [Heb: wounded] of God, and afflicted.

1.    (Gen 3:8-10) And they heard the voice [i.e., the Bible] of the LORD God walking in the garden [of Eden] in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he [Adam] said, I heard thy voice [the Bible] in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked [i.e., EXPOSED, I know that I have done wrong and sinned against You (God)]; and I hid myself [rather than humbly confess my sin and plead for forgiveness. Why? Because he (Adam) now wanted to do it again].

BUT THE SPIRIT OF ADAM AND JESUS AND YOU WAS WOUNDED

(Isa 53:5,6) But he was wounded [deprived of the anointing of holiness and sent out of Heaven to earth] [as also were we as guilty fallen angels, but He was innocent] for our transgressions [Heb: revolts: rebellion, sins /// to break away from “just” authority], he was bruised [Heb: crumbled: beat to pieces, humbled] for our iniquities [Heb: perversity, evil: faults, sins]: the chastisement [Heb: warning or instruction; restraint: correction, discipline, rebuke] [which, if accepted, will result in] of our peace was upon him [i.e., and that  burden of sins was accepted by Him]; and with his stripes [fig. with the punishing whip lashes laid upon Him and His journey into Hell altogether symbolizing His righteous payment for our sins] we are healed [Heb: mended (by stiching), cured: repaired thoroughly, made whole] [1]. All we like sheep have gone astray [Heb: vacillate, stray: deceived, dissemble, err, are seduced, stagger, wander, be out of the way]; we have turned [Heb: aside, away] every one to his own way [2-4]; and the LORD hath laid on him the [burden of the] iniquity [Heb: perversity, evil: faults, sin] of us all.

1.    (Acts 2:31) He [David] seeing this before spake [as “a prophet” Acts 2:29,30] of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

2.    (Judg 17:6) In those days there was no king [i.e., no governor, no God] in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. [Judg 21:25]

3.    (Prov 12:15) The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

4.    (Prov 21:2) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

 

JESUS CHRIST PAID THE REDEMPTION PRICE FOR OUR RETURN TO GOD

(Isa 53:7-9) He was oppressed [Heb: driven; taxed, harassed, tyrannized: distressed], and he was afflicted, yet he opened [Heb: loosened: vented] not [to whine or complain] his mouth: he is brought as a [submissive] lamb to the slaughter [Heb: as a beast to be butchered], and as a sheep [quietly stands] before her shearers [Heb: to cut off] [fig. from the land of the living] is dumb [Heb: silent], so he openeth [Heb: loosened: vented] not his mouth. He was taken from prison [lit. taken from imprisonment, fig. taken from His body, and taken from this world] and from judgment [i.e., by man’s evil judgment and by God’s righteous judgment]: and who shall declare his generation [Heb: a revolution of time, an age] [His lifetime] [1]? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression [Heb: revolt: rebellion, sins /// to break away from “just” authority] of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked [in Hell], and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

1.    (Psa 22:30,31) A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation [the generation of “Christ”: Matt 1:16,17]. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

 

(Isa 53:10,11) Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise [Heb: beat to pieces] him [1]; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail [tribulation] of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge [Jesus Christ, and of Jesus Christ] shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities [Heb: perversity, evil: faults, sin].

1.    (Rev 2:26,27) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers [Gk: broken (to pieces)]: even as I [Jesus] received of my Father.

 

(Isa 53:12) Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great [“kings and priests” Rev 1:6; 5:10], and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out [sacrificed] his soul unto death: [“He let Himself be regarded as a criminal” Amplif.] and he was numbered with the transgressors [i.e., the fallen angels]; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession [He came between man and God] for the transgressors [“the rebellious” Amplif.].

 

Amen

A SIGN OF THE LAST TIME:

MANY ANTICHRISTS = STRONG DELUSION (“A LYING SPIRIT”)

God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another, ascending into the mind of Christ. May we note that Lucifer (God’s pure good thoughts) became Satan (God’s perverted and thus impure evil thoughts); that is, a holy angel (Spirit) became an unholy angel (spirit) as he fell from Grace through his perversion of God’s word (thoughts). Lucifer-Satan is now temporarily confined inside an earthly prison called mankind... and his fallen minions likewise, and altogether they are symbolized by the tree of the knowledge (thoughts) of good and evil.

 

AS ONE MAN

(Judg 6:14-16) And the LORD looked upon him [Gideon], and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites [Heb: brawling, contentious, discord, strife] [a type and shadow of all unsaved men]: have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man [i.e., as the supernatural Body of Christ with all its Spiritual members acting in unified obedience].

1.    (1 Cor 12:27) Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

2.    (1 Co 3:16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God [built, composed of all the Holy angels (members)] dwelleth in you?

 

THE SECOND COMING

(2 Thes 2:1,2) Now we beseech [Gk: pray to] you, brethren, by [“relative to” Amplif.] the [second] coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him [(the Greek writing convention of pallellism)] [1], That ye be not soon shaken [Gk: to waver, be agitated, rocked, toppled, fig. destroyed] in mind, or be troubled [Gk: (to wail); clamor, be frightened], neither by [fallen, unclean, demonic] spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as [if it came] from us, as [about news] that the day of Christ [“has [already] arrived” Amplif. ] is at hand [“and is here” Amplif.].

1.    (1 Thes 4:16,17) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel [Michael (Jud 1:9 & Dan 12:1)], and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air [ref. the valley of “dry bones” Ezek 37:1-14]: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU

(2 Thes 2:3,4) Let no man deceive [Gk: to seduce wholly: beguile] you by any [of the aforementioned] means [1]: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [Gk: a defection from truth (“apostasy”)] [2] first, and that man [corporate many membered body] of sin [lawlessness] be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed], the son [spawn] of perdition [Gk: damnation, waste] [doom]; Who [proudly] opposeth [Gk: is adversary to] and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God [“ye are the temple of God” 1 Cor 3:16, built, composed of all the Holy angels (members)], shewing [Gk: to show off, exibiting] himself that he is God [a warning to those “deceiving your own selves” James 1:22].

1.    (Matt 24:4) And Jesus answered and said unto them [His diciples], Take heed [Gk: look at: behold, beware, perceive, regard, see] that no man deceive you.

2.    defection = Dict: 1. abandonment of loyalty, duty, principle, etc.; desertion. 2. a failing or failure.

 

TWO “REVEALINGS” ARE NOW HAPPENING

(2 Thes 2:5-8) Remember ye not, that, when I [the Apostle Paul] was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth [“what is restraining” NKJV, the evil] that he [the Christ (the anointing) in us, the full mind of Christ] might be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed] in his [appointed] time [1]. For the mystery of iniquity [“lawlessness: that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority” Amplif.] doth already work: only he who now letteth [“restrains” NKJV] [i.e., by the presence of the Holy Spirit anointing in us] will let [restrain], until he be taken out of the way [until he be “caught up” 1 Thes 4:17 (i.e., raptured)]. And then shall that Wicked [Gk: lawless] be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed], whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [illumination, revelation] of his coming: [2]

1.    (Rom 8:18,19) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed] in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation [Gk: disclosure: revelation] of the sons of God [who originally were, and still are, angels].

2.    Commentary: who exactly is the “he (that shall) be taken out of the way”? = May we note that “Legion” (Mark 5:9,15; Luke 8:30) is an instructive example of a single spirit that has many spirit members. Thehe (that shall) be taken out of the way” is the collective mind of Christ present in the world today in us (Rom 8:18 & 2 Thes 1:7,10,12), our spirits; the “he” is the anointed Spirit (mind) of the many-membered Body of Christ. We are that one Body and Jesus Christ is our Head. The anointing that we have received is not an anointing of our temporary physical soulical bodies, but it is the anointing of our eternal supernatural spirits, the anointing of our minds, which are contained within the all-encompassing many-membered Holy Spirit of God. That same Holy Spirit of God is now being collectively withdrawn from our Godlyrestraining” overriding global influence upon the entire world. Consequentially, the Satanic influence of strong delusion (“a lying spirit” 1 Kings 22:22,23; 2 Chron 18: 21,22) is proportionately and dramatically increasing, in effect replacing our influence. (It is going to get very nasty out there very soon).

 

A SIGN: STRONG DELUSION (A LYING SPIRIT)

(2 Thes 2:9-12) Even him, whose coming [“The coming of the lawless one, the Antichrist” Amplif.] [the body of the Antichrists] [1] is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness [Gk: delusions] of unrighteousness [Gk: iniquity: wrong] in them that perish [Gk: are destroyed: die]; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved [Gk: safe, delivered: healed preserved, made whole]. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion [strong deception], that they should believe a lie [Gk: falsehoods: lies]: That they all might be damned [Gk: condemned, punished: avenged] who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness [Gk: iniquity: wrong].

1.    (1 John 2:18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist [Gk: an opponent of the Messiah] [against Christ] shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby [by that sign] we know that it is the last time.

 

THE BLESSING

(2 Thes 2:13-17) But we are bound to give thanks alway[s] to God for you, brethren [brothers and sisters: family] beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning [“ before the foundation of the world”  Eph 1:4] chosen you to salvation [Gk: rescue or safety: saving] through sanctification [Gk: purification] of the Spirit [in you] and [your] belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel [Gk: good message], to the [your] obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions [Gk: precepts] [precept: Dict. = a commandment or direction meant as a rule of action or conduct] which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle [Gr: letter]. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and [e]stablish you in every good word and work.
