Isaiah 30:1-14 The Lord says; woe to Israel, a race of rebels who refuse His Laws. They ask for preachers to ‘give us smooth words and illusions’.
Isaiah 30:15 These are the words of the Lord; In calm detachment lies your safety, your strength in quiet trust.
Isaiah 30:16-17 But you would have none of it, therefore you will be put to flight.
Isaiah 30:18 Yet the Lord is waiting to show you His favour and compassion, for He is a God of justice. Happy are all who wait for Him! [Luke 12:37]
Isaiah 30:19-22 People of Zion, weep no more. The Lord will answer you when you call for help. He gives you adversity and affliction now, but your teachers will no longer be hidden from you, you will see them with your own eyes. If you stray from the right path, you will hear a voice behind you saying- ‘this is the Way, follow it’. You will loath your images and will treat your idols [sorcery, false religions, materialism, etc] like filth. [Hosea 14:8 & Ezekiel 11:18]
Isaiah 30:23-24 The Lord will give rain and the Land will produce rich crops. Your livestock will prosper. [Isaiah 41:17-19 & Ezekiel 34:14-16]
Isaiah 30:25-26 On the Day of slaughter, when fortresses fall, streams of water will flow from every hill. The moon will shine like the sun and sunlight will be seven times brighter on the Day the Lord heals the wounds of His people. [Isa 63:4]
Isaiah 30:27-28 See the Lord Himself comes from afar, with anger and wrath, in dense clouds of smoke. His breath is a rushing torrent, He shakes the nations in a sieve of destruction. [Ezekiel 30:2-3 & Habakkuk 3:12]
Isaiah 30:29 But for you there will be songs and gladness of heart as you march to music, on the way to the Mountain of the Lord. [Zech 10:10 & Psalm 68:7]
Isaiah 30:30 Then the Lord will make His voice heard in majesty and reveal His arm descending in fierce anger, with devouring flames, thunder and hail. [Heb 10:27]
For at His voice, Assyria’s strength fails, His punishing Rod strikes them down. A fire pit is prepared by Jerusalem, ready for the Lord to set it ablaze with His breath, like a stream of burning sulphur.
Ref, REB some verses abridged
My comments ; Verse 10 is appropriate for our days, as false visions and prosperity theology etc. are promulgated everywhere.
Verse 19-24 Are for the period after His people, all Israel, are resettled in the Land. They will have God given leaders and teachers to guide them until Jesus Returns.
Verse 25-28 The Lords Day of vengeance – the Day His people are healed and redeemed
Verse 29 Then they gather into the Promised Land.

A remnant will return to Israel
Isaiah 10:17-19 The Light of Israel will become a fire, its Holy One a flame which in one Day will burn up and consume His thorns and briars. The splendour of his forests and fields it will completely destroy, as suddenly as someone falling in a fit. Only a very few trees will be left.
Isaiah 10:21 On that Day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob will rely no more on foreign help, but without wavering, will truly rely on the Lord – the Holy One of Israel. A remnant of Jacob will return, to their Mighty God.
Isaiah 10:22-23 Israel, your people may be as many as the sands of the sea, but only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous The Lord will carry out the destruction upon the whole Land.
Isaiah 10:24-26 Therefore, says the Lord; My people, dwellers in Zion, do not be afraid of foreigners, though they oppressed you. Very soon My anger against you will end and My wrath will be directed at them, as I have done in times past.
Isaiah 10:27 On that Day, the burden they laid on you will be removed, the yoke broken.
Ezekiel 34:11-13 For the Lord God says; Now I will take thought for My sheep and search for them. As a shepherd gathers his flock when they are lost, so I shall rescue them from all the places that they were scattered in a Day of cloud and darkness. I shall lead them out from the nations and gather them from all the places where they were scattered and bring them home to their own country.
Ezekiel 34:14-16 The pasture for My people is the Land of Israel. They will thrive and find rest there. I shall search for the lost, bandage the injured, strengthen the sick and give My flock the proper food.
Ezekiel 34:17-22 Now, I shall judge between the fat sheep and the lean. You rams and goats have taken the best pastures and muddied the drinking water. Therefore I will save My flock and they will be ravaged no more.
Ezekiel 34:23-29 I shall set over them My servant, David he will care for them and will be their God. I shall make a covenant with them to ensure peace and prosperity The Land will bear great crops of fruit and produce. When I rescue them from the power of their enemies, then they will know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 34:30-31 Then they will know that am with them and they are My people. You are My flock, that I feed and I am your God.
Jeremiah 33:6-8 Now, I shall bring healing and care for Judah and Israel and let them see lasting peace and security. I will restore their fortunes and rebuild them as they once were. I shall cleanse them of all wickedness and sin that they have committed and forgive all the evil deeds of rebellion against Me.
Jeremiah 33:9 This city will bring Me renown and praise, when the nations hear of the good things that I bestow on her. They will be in awe and trembling at this.
Jeremiah 33:14-16 The days are coming, says the Lord, when I shall bestow on Judah and Israel all the blessings I have promised them. In those days and at that time, I shall make a righteous Branch spring from David’s line; he will maintain law and justice in the Land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will be undisturbed. This is the name it will be called; The Lord our Righteousness.
Hosea 6:1-3 Come, let us return to the Lord. He has wounded us, but He will heal us. After two days, He will revive us on the third day, He will raise us to live in His presence. Let us strive to know the Lord, whose coming is as sure as the sunrise. He will come to us like the spring rains that water the earth.
1 Corinthians 2:7-9 I speak God’s hidden wisdom, His secret purpose framed from the very beginning to bring us to our destined glory. None of the powers that rule the world know that wisdom. Scripture tells us of things beyond our seeing, beyond our hearing, beyond our imagining – all prepared by God for those who love Him.
My comments;
Isaiah 10 – On one Day, the Lord will destroy His enemies. This will be the Lords Day of vengeance and the 6th seal of Revelation. The Land of Greater Israel will be cleansed and burnt off. On that Day, His righteous people will trust completely in the Lord. They will re settle into the Land.
Ezekiel 34 – His people found and rescued from wherever they are after the ‘Day of cloud and darkness”. Another description of the Lords Day of vengeance. They are brought home to their own country, Israel. All of His people, no matter what their health or age, will thrive and find rest. First, they will be judged and those priests and leaders who have led their flock astray will not enter the Land. When His people are rescued – then they will know that; “I am with them and you are My people”. Must be before the Return of Jesus.
Jeremiah 33 – Judah and Israel healed, cleansed and forgiven, live in peace and security Jerusalem will become a city that will be admired and respected worldwide. The Lord says; I will keep My promises to Israel and Judah. A leader from David’s line will appear – may be Zerubabbel, eventually will be Jesus.
Hosea 6 – His people have been punished, now to be restored. Two days [two thousand years] then revival, that is back into the Land, then on the third day [ the beginning of the Millennium] they will live in His presence. [The Lord Jesus Returns in His glory]

HAGGAI the prophet
In verses 1 to 9 of the Book of Haggai, the Jews who have returned to the Land, from their exile in Babylon, are told that the time has come to rebuild the Lords Temple.
Haggai 1:10-11 It is your fault that the heavens withhold their rain and the earth it’s produce. Because you have neglected the Lords House.
Haggai 1:13 so Haggai, the Lords messenger, said to the people; I am with you, says the Lord.
Haggai 2:4-5 Now, Zerubabbel, take heart, says the Lord – take heart, Joshua the High priest, take heart, you people. Begin the work, for I am with you and My spirit remains among you. Do not be afraid. [start building the 2nd Temple]
Haggai 2:6-8 For these are the words of the Lord; In a little while, I shall shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the land. I shall shake all the nations and their treasure will come here. Mine is the silver and the gold.
Haggai 2:9 The splendour of the latter Temple will surpass that of the former. In this place I will grant prosperity and peace.
[these 2 verses are prophesy, as at that time, the shaking did not happen, the treasure of the nations did not come and the 2nd Temple did not exceed the splendour of the 1st]
Haggai 2:10-14 On the 24th day of the 9th month......The Lord says that whatever offering that this people and nation [Judah] make here, is defiled in My sight.
Haggai 2:18 On the 24th day of the 9th month....The day the foundations of the Temple were laid.
Haggai 2:19 Will your crops fail? Not so, from this day I shall bless you.
Haggai 2:20-21 On the 24th day of the 9th month.....This is the word of the Lord; Tell Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah;I shall shake the heavens and the earth; I shall overthrow Kings, break the power of heathen realms and destroy armies.
Haggai 2:23 On that Day, says the Lord, I will take you, Zerubbabel, My servant and wear you like a signet ring for it is you whom I have chosen.
[perhaps Zerubbabel is the one mentioned in Jeremiah 30:21.]
This book of Haggai, the prophet, tell how the Jews who had returned from Babylon were motivated to rebuild the Temple.
The shaking and overthrowing mentioned, describes very well the Day of the Lords vengeance, which I contend will be this next Middle East war.
What is most interesting, is the date, repeated three times; the 24th day of the 9th month. Which is the Jewish festival of Erev Chanukka (1st candle) In the Gregorian calendar, this is the 1st Dec 2010, 20th Dec 2011, 8th Dec 2012.

The Lords Day of vengeance and the Day of the Lord
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 ... when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in blazing fire. Then he will mete out punishment to those who refuse to acknowledge God and who will not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, cut off from the presence of God.
2 Thess 1:10 When, on that great Day when He comes to reveal His glory amongst His own and His majesty to all believers.
Paul describes two events in this passage;
1/ The Day of Vengeance and the wrath of God;
Isaiah 63:4 I resolved on a Day of Vengeance,the time for redeeming My own had come.
Isaiah 66:15 See, the Lord is coming in fire, His sword will test mankind.
Micah 5:15 In anger and fury, I shall wreak vengeance on the nations who disobey Me.
Habakkuk 3:12 Furiously You trample down the nations.
Malachi 4:1 The Day comes; burning like a furnace, all evildoers will be stubble.
Hebrews 10:27 A terrifying judgement of fire that will consume God’s enemies.
Isaiah 30:26 On the day that the Lord saves His people,[righteous Israel] the sun will shine with seven times its usual brightness and the moon will be as bright as the sun.
So, we see that the first event is coming in fire with the sun super hot [a solar flare]
2/ The Glorious Return of the Lord Jesus;
Matthew 24:29 As soon as this time of distress has passed [the Tribulation] the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give light, the stars will fall and all the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
Matt 24:30 Then all the peoples will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Matt 24:31 With a trumpet blast He will send His angels to gather His chosen from the fartherest corners of the world. [these will be the Gentile people who have kept faithful to the Lord, as His people, Israel will regather after the day of Vengeance]
Ezekiel 30:2-3 ....Wail! Alas for the day, A day is near, the day of the Lord, a Day of cloud, a Day of reckoning for the nations.
Joel 2:1-2 Blow the trumpet in Zion....Let the inhabitants tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming – a Day of darkness..... like blackness spread over the mountains.
Ezekiel 32:7-8 [prophesy against Egypt] When I judge you, I shall veil the sun and moon with clouds, there will be total darkness over your land.
It is clear that there will be two judgements against His enemies, the first to happen soon, perhaps in conjunction with this next Middle east war, against the nations surrounding Israel. This will enable His people, righteous Israel to resettle the Land.
Then, the next judgement, just prior to the Return of Jesus. Isaiah 13:9-13
Note, that in Rev 19:13 Jesus Returns in a garment dyed in blood. In Isaiah 63:3 He tramples the nations....and their blood spattered all his clothing.
From this and the sequence in 2 Thess, we can say that the Day of Gods wrath- the sixth seal [Rev 6:12-17] will be the first event of the end time happenings.
2 Thess 1:10 When, on that great Day when He comes to reveal His glory amongst His own and His majesty to all believers.
Paul describes two events in this passage;
1/ The Day of Vengeance and the wrath of God;
Isaiah 63:4 I resolved on a Day of Vengeance,the time for redeeming My own had come.

Matt 24:31 With a trumpet blast He will send His angels to gather His chosen from the fartherest corners of the world. [these will be the Gentile people who have kept faithful to the Lord, as His people, Israel will regather after the day of Vengeance]
Ezekiel 30:2-3 ....Wail! Alas for the day, A day is near, the day of the Lord, a Day of cloud, a Day of reckoning for the nations.
Joel 2:1-2 Blow the trumpet in Zion....Let the inhabitants tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming – a Day of darkness..... like blackness spread over the mountains.

Isaiah 34 LISTEN YOU NATIONS
Isaiah 34:1 Approach, you nations and listen – attend you peoples. Let the earth listen, all the world and all that is in it.
Isaiah 34:2 For the Lords anger is against all the nations and His wrath upon all their armies. He has given them over to slaughter and destruction. [Isa 63:4 ]
Isaiah 34:3 Their slain will be flung out and their blood will cover the ground. Their dead bodies will stink.
Isaiah 34:4 All the host of heaven will fade away. The sky will roll up as a scroll.
Isaiah 34:5 For My sword appears in heaven and descends in judgement on Edom – on a people whom I have doomed for destruction.
Isaiah 34:6 The Lord has a sword covered in blood – the blood of lambs and goats.
[righteous and wicked in the Land, destroyed Eze 21:4]
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in Edom.
[Bozrah= the sheepfold, must be the land of Israel. Edom= the Islamic nations]
Isaiah 34:7 Their land will drink deep of their blood and be enriched by their fat.
Isaiah 34:8 For the Lord has a Day of vengeance, a time for retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause.
Isaiah 34:9 Edom’s rivers will be turned into pitch and it’s soil into brimstone.
Isaiah 34:10 Smoke from it will rise forever, no one will ever again pass through it.
Isaiah 34:11-17 The owl and raven will make it their home. All wild birds and beasts will have their place in that land.
Reference, Revised English Bible, some verses abridged.
From verse 4, we get the clue that this terrible Day of the Lords judgement is also the sixth seal – Rev 6:12-17 .....There was a violent earthquake; the sun turned black and the
moon red as blood, stars fell to the earth, the sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up.
The kings of the earth, the rich and powerful, and all men hid themselves in caves and under rocks: they called out for the earth to hide them from the One who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great Day of their vengeance has come and who can stand?
It fits, because continuing on, in Rev 7:1-8 After that......Do not damage anything further until we have set the seal of God upon His servants.
They are the 144,000 from all the 12 tribes of Israel. So, righteous Israel must regather into the Land after it is cleansed, in order for this to happen.
Then in Rev 7:9-17 [says again] After that....... describing the Millennial glories and blessings.
This description of “the sky rolled up like a scroll “ may be what would happen if an intense electromagnetic pulse was fired from the sun, by a giant sunspot. It would wipe out the earths magnetic field and possibly cause a pole reversal.

The LORDS WRATH - how it will happen
This much prophesied, still to come, Lords Day of vengeance – may happen as the same event as this next Middle East war. He Lord could use a nuclear exchange to fulfil His purposes, but what is certain is what the prophets say;
Isaiah 34:5 For My sword appears in heaven, it descends in judgement.
Psalm 11:10 The Lord is in heaven, raining fiery coals onto the wicked.
Isaiah 66:15-16 See, the Lord is coming in fire, like a whirlwind. He will judge with fire, His sword will test mankind and many will be slain by Him.
Isaiah 33:10-12 Now I shall arise, says the Lord, I will exalt Myself. You will be as chaff and stubble, a wind like fire will consume you. Whole nations will be heaps of white ash, like thorns cut down and set on fire.
Psalm 144:5-6 Lord, part the heavens. Make lightning flashes far and wide.
Isaiah 30:30 Then the Lord will make His voice heard in majesty...descending in fierce anger with devouring flames of fire amid storms and hail.
Jeremiah 30:23-24 See what a scorching wind has gone out from God, a sweeping whirlwind which whirls around the heads of the wicked. The Lords fierce anger is not to be turned aside until He has fully accomplished His purposes.
In Days to come you will understand.
Isaiah 29:5-6 Yet, the horde of Your enemies will crumble into dust, fly away like chaff. Suddenly in an instant punishment will come from the Lord, with storms, thunder, earthquakes and great noise and a flame of devouring fire.
Isaiah 9:19 The land is scorched by the Lord, the people are like fuel for the fire.
Isaiah 10:17 The Light of Israel will become a fire, its Holy One a flame, which, in one day will burn up and consume His thorns and briars.
Isaiah 30:26 On the Day that the Lord saves His people, the sun will shine with seven times its usual brightness and the moon will be as bright as the sun.
Isaiah 30:27-28 See; the Lord comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy. His lips are charged with wrath and His tongue is a devouring fire. His breath is like a torrent in spate. He sieves out the nations for destruction.
What these (and other) prophecies say, seems to me to be describing sunspot activity.
The usual, cyclical, increase of sunspots, due in 2009/10, has not eventuated. Maybe the sun is building up a really huge flare of sunspots. These can happen very rapidly and reach earth within minutes, capable of causing enormous damage and deaths worldwide.
All electrical and communications systems, industry, transport, you name it, could be destroyed, or at least severely damaged. Armies will be back to 1800’s technology.
Isaiah 30:29 But for you there will be songs and gladness of heart to the Lord, the Rock of Israel.
Isaiah 31:5 Like a hovering bird, the Lord will be a shield over Jerusalem, sparing and rescuing her.
Psalm 60:4-5 To those who fear You, You have raised a banner to which they may escape from the bow. Save with Your strong hand, so that those whom You love may be kept safe. Reference; Revised English Bible, some verses abridged

Isaiah 66:15-16 See, the Lord is coming in fire, like a whirlwind. He will judge with fire, His sword will test mankind and many will be slain by Him.
Isaiah 33:10-12 Now I shall arise, says the Lord, I will exalt Myself. You will be as chaff and stubble, a wind like fire will consume you. Whole nations will be heaps of white ash, like thorns cut down and set on fire.

The arrows of Gods judgement
What are the ‘arrows’ of the Lord? In Deut 32:18 God says to the Israelites; You forsook the Creator who begot you and ceased to care for the God who brought you to birth. Deut 32:23-24 Therefore, I shall heap disasters upon you and expend My arrows of hunger, plague and bitter pestilence. Wild beasts will attack and snakes will poison you. Also in Job 6:4 The arrows of the Almighty have found their mark in me and my spirit has been poisoned.
But, it seems that there are worse kinds – arrows of fire.
Psalm 7:12-13 The enemy strings his bow, makes ready. It is against himself that he has prepared his deadly shafts – arrows tipped with fire.
Psalm 144:5-6 Lord, part the heavens, come down to us. Make lightening flashes far and wide, send Your arrows flying.
Hab 3:9-11 You string Your bow and fill Your quiver with arrows. At the flash of Your arrows, the sun and moon stand still.
Zech 9:14 The Lord will appear over them, His arrows will flash like lightening.
2 Sam 22:14-15 God thundered from the heavens. He loosed arrows and sped them far and wide.
Psalm 64:7 God with His arrows shoots down evildoers. Sudden is their overthrow.
Psalm 77:17 The skies thundered and Your arrows flashed hither and thither.
Psalm 45:5 Your arrows are sharp, nations lie beneath your feet.
Zeph 9:13 Judah the bow, Ephraim the arrow. [The House of Judah, the Jews and Ephraim, the leader of The House of Israel, together against the Lords enemies in this next Mid East war]
Zech 9:14 The Lord will appear over them. His arrows will flash like lightening.
Then, peace and prosperity for His people, in the Land.
Psalm 76:1-3 In Judah God is known, His dwelling in Zion. There He has broken the flashing arrows and all weapons of war.
