Isaiah 25:5

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Isaiah 25:5

5 Thou shalt bring down [kana`] the noise [sha'own] of strangers [zuwr], as the heat [choreb] in a dry place [tsiyown]; even the heat [choreb] with the shadow [tsel] of a cloud [`ab]: the branch [zamiyr] of the terrible ones [`ariyts] shall be brought low [`anah].   KJV-Interlinear

5 like heat in a dry place. You subdue the noise of the foreigners; as heat by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is put down.   ESV

Understanding the purpose of Gods judgment and the arrogance of wicked people, puts this verse in order.

While the wicked are constantly making noise regarding their presumed power, bragging, boasting, screaming, yelling as though they need to make everyone aware of their presence and superiority, celebrating their presumed victory over all others.

And then there is God.

So we have two symbolisms, one of heat, or the heat of the sun, and the shade of a cloud.

As for the heat, the wickedness of man is as the heat of violence in the dealings of wickedness against the righteous.  The wicked taking that which does not belong to them, keeping out or preventing the righteous from having that which is rightfully theirs.

Then there is the heat of the sun which descends down upon an otherwise worthless and empty field, and burning it up with little or no resistance.

And so God applies the heat of a greater violence against the worthless and impotent power of the wicked and consumes them as though they were never there.

The cloud drifts over a heated or burning area and provides relief in its shade, for the overhead burning heat of the sun. The rain descends down and cools the heat and relieves the pressure.

And thus the song or the boastings of the wicked are silenced into nothing.  Their false victory fades as they no longer exist.

The righteous receive relief and victory by doing virtually nothing.

Isaiah 25:4

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Isaiah 25:4

4 For thou hast been a strength [ma`owz] to the poor [dal], a strength [ma`owz] to the needy ['ebyown] in his distress [tsar], a refuge [machaceh] from the storm [zerem], a shadow [tsel] from the heat [choreb], when the blast [ruwach] of the terrible ones [`ariyts] is as a storm [zerem] against the wall [qiyr].  KJV-Interlinear

4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,     ESV

While the nations of the world should be the strength and safety and liberty and freedom for their respective citizens, they are in reality, no more than a burden and threat to one and all.  Leaders lust for power and authority and wealth while citizens lust for the free ride for which someone else needs to pay.

And thus we have the storm, ‘zerem,’ which is the tempest, flood, fury, of life.  And not only a storm, but one against the wall, meaning that you have nowhere to go to escape its power and destruction.  We call this being trapped between the rock and a hard place.  You have no options and no way out.  You are totally at the mercy of the storm, if it chooses to show any mercy, that is.  And the world is not a merciful place.

But Christianity, has a God, who is Jesus Christ, who is not only merciful, but a shelter where there is no shelter, and a strength where there is no strength, and relief where there is no relief.

Leaving your life at the mercy of the world is leaving your life to certain doom.

And when there is a way out of that doom, then not pursuing that way, is the epitome of foolishness.

That way is of course, faith in Christ, for salvation, in case you have not yet believed in Him.  And, once you have believed, then advancing in your spiritual life as God expects you to advance, by way of pursuing a daily Bible study.  It just does not get any simpler.

And yet people fail to see the simplicity, and that is why they fail.  And worse, they do not see their failure until it is too late.

Isaiah 25:3

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Isaiah 25:3

3 Therefore shall the strong [`az] people [`am] glorify [kabad] thee, the city [qiryah] of the terrible [`ariyts] nations [gowy] shall fear [yare'] thee.  KJV-Interlinear

3 Therefore strong peoples will glorify you; cities of ruthless nations will fear you.   ESV

More often than not, people do not pay attention to God or Christ or the Bible.  Even among those who follow different religions, they live their life with their religion intertwined in one way or another, but they are not fanatically inclined to follow their religion to the letter.  It is more for public show, or convenience, than anything.

Then there comes a time when reality steps into the life of the person and God demonstrates the fallacy of their pattern of life.  That living a life without truth, is living a lie, and being oblivious to truth, will end up getting you into trouble.  That eventual trouble will be a real eye opener.

Unfortunately the word for glorify here refers to only recognition of something or someone greater than they are.

And fear, refers to dread.

When people live in a fog with respect to reality, then when reality strikes, they are shocked or put into shock.

This does not mean they will change their ways or change their life or their beliefs.  It only means that they will suddenly be afraid of something that is more powerful and dreadful for the time being.  Most every unbeliever will look at disaster or hard times and expect that they will pass, just as the weather passes or as the seasons pass.

But in the final end of ones life, or in this case at the end of history, things will not simply pass by and resume as they were.  At the end of ones life, the end is final with no do-overs, with no continuations.

And at the end of history, the recognition of God and His awesome power will be universal and worldwide and final.

Psalm 34:18

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Psalm 34:18

18 The LORD [Yahovah] is nigh [qarowb] unto them that are of a broken [shabar] heart [leb]; and saveth [yasha`] such as be of a contrite [dakka'] spirit [ruwach].   KJV-Interlinear

18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.    ESV

The phrase, broken heart, refers to the mind or the soul, or the thoughts of the individual. The phrase refers to the heavy condition of the burdens of life that fall upon the thoughts of the person, that is crushed with grief or buried under the heavy weight of sorrow, or overwhelmed with the burdens of responsibility or just of life itself.

Crushed in spirit, refers to crushing of ones drive or motivation, or desire to continue on.

In other words, when life has just fallen all over you and there seems to be no way around your situation.

It is the Lord, who is Jesus Christ, who is near.

Of course God is omnipresent and as such is everywhere simultaneously.  He is not confined or defined by time or space. He is within it and outside of it.

Time and space are one of our many confinements and limitations.

But near, refers to the proximity of one who is able to help, giving us a frame of reference to a Lord who is always within hearing as well as within helping distance.

No matter where you are, Christ is there.

Psalm 34:17

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Psalm 34:17

17 The righteous cry [tsa`aq], and the LORD [Yahovah] heareth [shama`], and delivereth [natsal] them out of all their troubles [tsarah].   KJV-Interlinear

17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.    ESV

Christianity is proprietary.  Its benefits and privileges are exclusively available to Christians only and to no one else.  Prayer is one of those exclusive privileges.

Of all that you would want to have in your corner or on your list of friends that you could turn to in times of need or trouble, God is the one who should be at the very top of your list.

And indeed, He is always available to all believers in Christ.

Anyone who has believed in Christ is referred to as, the righteous.  And while there may be varying degrees of righteousness, namely levels of spiritual growth, God is available to everyone who confesses their sins and then calls to Him in Christs name.

It takes no effort at all, to pray.  But of course you have to pray in accordance with Gods rules for prayer.  But too, those rules are quite simple.  Be a believer in Christ and be in fellowship.  That is all the prerequisite that is required.

Unbelievers have no such privilege.  Their prayers are not heard, because they are not family of God.

And of all the privileges that are even possible in this creation, the privilege of calling to God, and then receiving a response, is the greatest privilege possible in life.

And what is more, God has given us all a promise that He will deliver us out of all troubles.

This deliverance will be permanent in the next life, but even in this life, there will be degrees of deliverance and degrees of solutions that will come into our life. 

This is the devils world and by default, trouble and problems and stresses and so forth, will always exist.

But, eventually Gods promise will become permanent.

And, the more you comply with Gods plan now, the easier your life now, will be.
