ARE YOU AN "AFFLICTED" ONE?
(The explanation of Isaiah 32:1-18).
THE CHRIST'S
PRINCIPLED ONES ARE HIS PRINCES.
The Christ's reign over mankind from
the Spirit realm of God will begin from "cloud"-like beginnings
for all mankind. (Rev 1:7). When Jehovah gives spiritual "seeing"
and "hearing" to the "afflicted ones" of His people,
unprincipled men will no longer be said to be "noble". (32:5 & 7).
"A place of concealment from the rainstorm" (concealment from
evil) will be provided through accurate Spirit knowledge from God, so that
people will be able to identify injustice, its cause, and those who advocated
it. (32:3,4). This knowledge will be administered from our Lord The
Christ Michael and his anointed brothers by Spirit*
through appointed princely representatives on earth. (32:1,2). |
"For he is not a Jew who is one on
the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon
the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and
his circumcision is that of the heart
by Spirit,*
and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from
God."
(Rom 2:28,29). |
UNPRINCIPLED MEN
will no longer be thought of as noble. Apostates afflict servants of God with
"false sayings". But the falsehood of their specious promises and
dealings will be exposed and removed by the Spirit "turmoil"
from God within these apostates. (32:7 &
33:14. See Page 882).
"STAMMERERS"
"will be quick in speaking clear things." "Those who are overhasty
will consider knowledge". They "will learn how to judge"
between the evil schemes of apostates that deny justice and the holiness of God. (32:3-7. See Moffatt). The "afflicted one"
will no longer be deceived, nor their powers of reasoning obstructed. |
"CARELESS DAUGHTERS"
of womankind will become agitated because they
will have failed in the very purpose of their existence (i.e.) to
complement #
their husbands and assist them to become God's glory. Their failure to
produce "fruit" (offspring) acceptable to God will cause them
spirit agitation. (32:9-18). These "things" will be shaken
"that the things not being shaken may remain."
(Heb 12:26-29).
Demonstrations are a visible manifestation of people being gathered
to war against God. Through such demonstrations demons gather the
people they control. (Rev 16:13 16)
(See Page 16/12/82).

"And Jehovah God went on to say: "It is not
good for the man to continue by himself. I am going to make a helper for him, as
a complement #
of him."" (Gen 2:18).
"For a man ought not to cover his head, since
he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
(For man was not made from
woman,
but woman
from man. Neither was man created for
woman, but woman for man.)" (1 Cor 11:7 RSV). |

"Look! A king
will reign for righteousness itself; and as respects princes, they
will rule as princes for justice itself. And each one must prove to be like
a hiding place from the wind and a place of concealment from the rainstorm…
And the eyes of those seeing will not be pasted together, and the
very ears of those hearing will pay attention. And the heart itself of those
who are overhasty will consider knowledge, and even the tongue of the
stammerers will be quick in speaking clear things… and as for the
unprincipled man, he will not be said to be noble… and his very heart
will work at what is hurtful, to work at apostasy and to speak against
Jehovah what is wayward… As for the unprincipled man… he himself has given
counsel for acts of loose conduct to wreck the afflicted ones with false
sayings… "You women who are at ease, rise up, listen to My voice! You
careless daughters, give ear to My saying! Within a year and some days
you careless ones will be agitated, because the grape picking will have come
to an end but no fruit gathering will come in…"" (From Isaiah
32:1-18).
