Isaiah 30:25

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
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.

To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
