Isaiah
32:10
10 Many days [yowm] and years [shaneh] shall ye be troubled [ragaz], ye careless women [batach]: for the vintage [batsiyr] shall fail [kalah], the gathering ['oceph] shall not come [bow']. KJV-Interlinear
10 In little more than a year you will
shudder, you complacent women; for the grape harvest fails, the fruit harvest
will not come. ESV
The phrase, many
days and years, means literally, the days upon or beyond a year. This can refer
to anything beyond a year, or two years, or three years, or years upon years.
In every case it refers to the long duration of the event or events that are
going to occur.
The vintage shall
fail, is a phrase that refers to the failure in agriculture. And in general the
failure of business.
The greatest part
of the wealth and prosperity of a nation, is generated through business wherein
the production, the buying and selling, of new goods and services all
contribute to, and are a core part of, a nations prosperity.
When there is a
general failure in agriculture, and a general failure in business, within a
nation, then that failure leads to great distress for many people.
But, when the
entire structure of business fails, then everyone is affected and all manner of
physical and mental stresses overwhelm a nation.
And such is the
nature of this warning.
When truth is
ignored, and therefore God is ignored, then disaster is always just over the
horizon.
And when people
are comfortable in their way of life, and generally indifferent toward Bible
doctrine, then that looming disaster will not only be the furthest thing from
their mind, but that people won’t believe that it is even possible.
When a national
disaster strikes, people will not be prepared either physically or mentally, to
handle it.
And after a
national disaster strikes and overwhelms a nation, getting back on track is
extremely difficult, and takes a very long time, literally years.
And, as Isaiah’s
words are directed at history in general, but primarily at the final days of
history, when this disaster finally occurs in those final days, the only way
out of it will be the second advent of Christ.
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.
