Isaiah 5:5
5 And now go to; I will tell [yada`] you what I will do [`asah]
to my vineyard: [kerem] I will take away [cuwr] the hedge [masuwkah]
thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [ba`ar] and
break down [parats] the wall [gader] thereof, and it shall be trodden down: [mirmac] KJV-Interlinear
5
"So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard: I will
remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it
will become trampled ground. NASB
And now, ‘naa,’ simply
means, and now listen to what is going to be said right now. It calls attention to the finality of what is
about to be said and then done. And now!
Since God has made every
preparation, has given every advantage, has made every opportunity available to
everyone, but has been ignored and rejected, then there are repercussions for
that attitude of indifference toward truth.
This world is populated
by over seven billion people in or current day. In about thirty to forty years
that number will double and in another
thirty or forty years that number will double again, with a doubling of the
worlds population occurring in shorter and shorter time spans as this century
and the next advance along.
Sooner or later the world
will reach a breaking point with respect to mans own ability to care for
himself. Then what?
Well, the prophecies from
the Old Testament, especially in Isaiah, will come true. People will not turn to God, but away from
God. The world will turn to an extreme apostasy
and then Gods time table will end it all.
The hedge, which was Gods
protection, will come to an end. Gods
protection will be withdrawn. The wall
is another layer of protection, and that too will be withdrawn.
In other words, the unbelieving
world, the unbelieving Jews will be left defenseless. By rejecting God and truth and doctrine,
which is all one and the same, then the repercussions of turning to ones own
self, will be demonstrated as totally useless and futile.
Man cannot fend for
himself. It is God, not man, who
supports and sustains life in every respect on this planet. And yet people ignore the realities of life,
do not even begin to learn the principles that the Bible teaches, spend their
time socializing with empty social activities, or spend their time with empty
activities of all sorts, inventing their own versions of truth, living by
sincerity or emotion, or self-justification of whatever it is that they believe
with beliefs that are stubbornly detached from the facts of truth and reality.
And so, the delusion is
allowed to continue, because people prefer their delusions over truth. They do not want to be taught. They do not want to read the Bible. They do not want to be instructed, and so
forth. Things that God mandates as the
principle portion of their spiritual lives.
God is patient, but God
does not wait forever. Sooner or later
the persons life will end and the reality of their failures will be discovered
too late. Sooner or later human history will
come to an end, and all will learn the truth of their failures, but too late.
You have an opportunity now,
to get straight and learn truth and to succeed in life. But will you?
