Isaiah 19:12
12 Where ['ay] are they? where ['ephow] are thy wise [chakam] men?
and let them tell [nagad] thee now, and let
them know [yada`] what the LORD [Yahovah] of hosts [tsaba'] hath
purposed [ya`ats] upon Egypt [Mitsrayim]. KJV-Interlinear
12 Well then, where are your wise
men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the Lord of hosts Has
purposed against Egypt. NASB
Fools believe with all
their heart, that life is an accident or that they create their own life and future
by means of their own decisions and brilliance.
Fools do not listen, do not read, do not study, do not consider anything
beyond their own beliefs. Some look to
life through who you know, what you can do, how much hustle you put into it, or
just a bit of luck, good or bad, from time to time.
And when the, you know
what, hits the fan, then where are they?
Where is their wisdom? Where is their
plan? Where is their solution? And they have none. None that work, anyway.
These words were
written hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years ago, by Isaiah, given to
him by God, who is Jesus Christ.
These words apply to a
time that, even in our current day, is still future.
Jesus Christ controls
history.
He looked down through
the long tunnel of time and saw everything that could happen and will happen. You never want to bet against God, because He
already knows the outcome of everything.
And even when He
discloses to us, what is going to happen, we still cannot change that outcome.
Even when we draw
closer and closer to the end of our dispensation, when people are looking more
and more to the Rapture, there will still be a huge population that will ignore
and reject Christ, and thus remain here on the earth when all believers are
removed in a twinkling of an eye.
They, all unbelievers, will
remain behind on the earth and will have to live through the absolute worst
seven years in all of history. And most
of them will not make it that long.
And even while the worst
of the worst of history is unfolding right before their very eyes, the wise, the
so called wise will be clueless as to why it is all happening.
Oh, they will come up
with some explanation as to weather change or society change or environment
change, and therefore the need for more social reform, which means more laws to
regulate people, as well as laws to blame certain people. And it will all fail, even making matters
worse for the world.
None will consider God,
or any deity, except the anti-christ who will place worship demands on them,
which means compliance to the laws that will be passed, or else.
None will consider
doctrine. None will consider the
prophecies that have been in writing since forever, so to speak.
And yet, Isaiah states
it very clear, ‘Consider Gods plans.’
For God proposes
history long before it occurs, and man, that means you, do exactly what God
predicts, often times even knowing what is coming.
Ah, but you say, ‘Who
me?’
And yet you and
everyone, do not comply with Gods mandates, do not follow Gods principles, do
not hold dear that which God has placed on your table, as to your
responsibilities and obligations, to self, to family, to others, to God. And knowing all of this, you, and that means
we all of us, fail, some more often than others. And yet we know!
And as to the
unbelievers who you would expect to not know any of this, they fail because
they reject truth in favor of the lies of life.
They can see the truth, but they are controlled by their own interests
in passion, in things, in lusts of every type. They favor the drives of their
sin nature which can be both ascetic or lascivious. They are indifferent.
And because very few
consider Gods place in all of this, then that is why the future is going to be
what it is going to be, which is to say, just as God states in these
prophecies.
