Isaiah
32:5
5 The vile person [nabal] shall be no more called [qara'] liberal [nadiyb], nor the churl [kiylay] said ['amar] to be bountiful [showa`]. KJV-Interlinear
5 The fool will no more be called noble, nor
the scoundrel said to be honorable. ESV
The vile person, describes
a person who is tightfisted, miserly, narrow-minded, covetous, and can
generally be described as a fool.
The word for
liberal, nadiyb, refers to a person who has a perverted view of right and
wrong, a person who is unprincipled, a person who is superficial and impressed
with flattery.
Churl, refers to
someone who is rude, surly, ill bred, ill mannered, a miserly type of deceiver
and a fraud with respect to their personal character and values.
Bountiful, is a
reference to the personal character of a person with regard to their honor or
integrity, or lack thereof.
This verse
describes the end of these types of persons. It describes the end of political
correctness, or superficiality, or refusal to call something what it really is.
This applies to
the kingdom of God, when Jesus Christ establishes that kingdom at the second
advent, and further emphasizes the end of the false and phony characteristics
that have come to saturate society as we know it today.
In other words, a
lie will be called a lie, the false will be called the false, the dishonorable
will be called dishonorable. There will be no more calling something noble,
when it really isn’t.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
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.
