Isaiah 7:5
5 Because Syria, ['Aram] Ephraim, ['Ephrayim] and
the son [ben] of Remaliah, [Ramalyahuw] have taken evil [ra`]
counsel [ya`ats] against thee, saying, ['amar] KJV-Interlinear
5
'Because Aram, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has planned evil against
you, saying, NASB
And why are these two
kings and their countries nothing more than a fire that is ready to go out,
nothing more than smoke and ashes?
They are going to meet
their end, for the same reason that every country, for the same reason that
every person, eventually meets their end. And that is because they have spoken
against God in some fashion.
As we will see in the
coming verses, the agenda against Judah and the house of David, is in fact an
anti-God agenda.
But then every activity,
every thought, every intent, that rejects or opposes or takes an indifferent
posture against anything or everything that is truth, is only preparing the way
for their own demise.
If you ignore God, if you
ignore Christ, if you ignore doctrine, if you pick and choose among any of
these, if you invent your own version of any of these, if you play the pretend
game with any of these, if you take the obligations or responsibilities or God
assigned purposes for your life and reject them or ignore them or remain indifferent
toward them, then you are in effect taking an anti-God position. You are digging your own pit.
Both of these kings were
preparing for war and their aim was to destroy Judah and Ahaz.
Your anti-God posture may
not be so dramatic as this, but the same result will occur.
God has designed the laws
of divine establishment. God invented
roles for man and woman. God has defined
many levels of authority. God has designed every aspect of life for the purpose
of allowing you to succeed in life, and any opposition or opposing attitude
will make you the fool of fools as you are in affect designing your own misery
and doom.
So why would anyone do
such a dumb thing to themselves?
