Isaiah
30:25
25 And there shall be upon every high [gaboahh] mountain [har], and upon every
high [nasa'] hill [gib`ah], rivers [peleg] and streams [yabal] of waters [mayim] in the day [yowm] of the great [rab] slaughter [hereg], when the towers [migdal] fall [naphal]. KJV-Interlinear
25 And on every lofty mountain and every
high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great
slaughter, when the towers fall. ESV
Brooks of running
water, symbolizes blessing. Typically you will not find brooks of running water
on the tops of mountains or hills, as you would find them in the valleys
between mountains and hills.
But to find brooks
of water on the mountain tops and on the hilltops, expresses blessings far and
above that blessing that would be typically associated with brooks of water in
the valleys.
And in this verse,
this is an important distinction that is being made regarding great blessing, because
this blessing is going to occur simultaneously with a great slaughter.
The great
slaughter, is a reference to the Armageddon campaign that will literally come
very close to destroying all of humanity.
And when the world
is falling apart, and when people are dying all around, the point of this verse
is that there is going to be great blessing in the midst of great disaster.
Those who turn to
God through Christ, are the recipients of Gods blessing.
Those who advance
to spiritual maturity through Bible doctrine, are the recipients of Gods
blessing.
It is easy to
expect, and to receive and to appreciate, blessings in times of prosperity.
But in times of adversity,
anxiety and impatience generally interfere with blessing, or the recognition of
it.
In order to bring
the entire world around to tremendous blessing and prosperity and happiness,
all evil has to be removed. And the mechanism for that removal will be the
greatest and most phenomenal world war that history will ever see.
So while the
powers that be, are crumbling all around, and humanity is desperately trying to
destroy itself, with Satan’s help of course, Jesus Christ will be exercising His
sovereign authority, in the protection of all of those who will have turned to Him,
even in the midst of the greatest disaster that history will ever see.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,

to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal
eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
