Isaiah 33:7

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

7 Behold, their valiant ones ['er'el] shall cry [tsa`aq] without [chuwts]: the ambassadors [mal'ak] of peace [shalowm] shall weep [bakah] bitterly [mar].   KJV-Interlinear

7 Behold, their heroes cry in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly. ESV

After describing the ultimate stable life in the previous verse, Isaiah dramatically changes the tone of the message, to indicate the seriousness and the ultimate danger of life in this world.

In Isaiah’s day, Judah sent ambassador after ambassador, seeking peace. And yet the results were never going to be peace, because this world is run by the devil himself, and he is not interested in pursuing peace with anything or anyone.

Hezekiah failed in his day, human history has failed throughout history, and in the tribulation, which is still future, the antichrist will not be interested in peace.

Christians, who are those who have believed in Christ, possess the title of ambassador from heaven.

Our real nation and true home, is in heaven. We are, as it were, on loan from God to this world.

But this world is not interested in God, not interested in truth, and certainly not interested in us.

As a result, life in this world will always be filled with heartache and hardship. And that will not change until the second advent of Christ.

History is said to be the angelic conflict. We as ambassadors, remain here until called home by Christ.

There will come a time, when two opposing nations are at odds, and conflict is inevitable, then the ambassadors are recalled, generally just prior to war being declared.

In the Christian life, we refer to that recall, as the rapture. Wherein, Christ will call us, and snatch us out of this world, leaving only unbelievers behind, and thus unleashing a terrible seven year period, which we call the tribulation.

The angelic conflict will finally reach its end, when Christ returns in his second advent.

Until that occurs, the world will be far from perfect, and will be constantly filled with burdens, with heartache, with sorrow, and so forth. And there is nothing you can do to make this world any better than that.

You can however, make your life better as an individual, by learning Bible doctrine and advancing to the stability of spiritual maturity.

Study [by instruction],

to show thyself approved [spiritually mature]

unto God,

a workman [student]

that need not be ashamed [ignorant],

rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]

the word of truth [Bible doctrine].

If you can dream and not make dreams your master, 

If you can think and not let thoughts narrow your views, 

If you can meet triumph with disaster equally, 

If you can learn and see your full meaning and purpose in life,

Then you can believe in Christ, learn Bible doctrine, and grow far beyond the potential that God has prepared for you.

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.

Isaiah 33:6

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

6 And wisdom [chokmah] and knowledge [da`ath] shall be the stability ['emuwnah] of thy times [`eth], and strength [chocen] of salvation [yashuw`ah]: the fear [yir'ah] of the LORD [Yahovah] is his treasure ['owtsar].   KJV-Interlinear

6 and he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.  ESV

The most valuable treasure in existence, is that which comes from God. Most people do not have this treasure, because they do not know what it is or how to get it. Nor, do they take the time to figure this out.

Faith, is the ultimate objective of the spiritual life. Faith is the muscle of the spiritual life.

Faith comes from wisdom.

Wisdom comes from the application of understanding.

Understanding comes from knowledge.

Knowledge comes from learning.

Learning comes from the day to day study of the word of God.

The learning process is where most people fail.

When Bible doctrine is learned, and understood, and applied to ones daily life, then the spiritual life is developed.

Blessings from God flow to the individual who is developing, or advancing in their spiritual life.

The word for abundance, refers to that which is far beyond what you would ever need. And that is a lot.

Zion, is a word throughout the Bible that refers to the vast truth of God. Truth is Bible doctrine. And when you learn Bible doctrine, and inculcate it into your soul, that results in the stability of life, and the relaxed mental attitude, that is otherwise not available by any other means in this world.

Learn the spiritual process, which is available only to believers in Christ. Unbelievers do not have a spiritual life.

The spiritual process is, repeated confession of sins to God the Father, in order to reside within the fellowship sphere.

And, while in fellowship:

Pursue a daily Bible study, through instruction, in order to learn Bible doctrine.

Apply Bible doctrine to your daily life, and by that, gain understanding.

Repeat this process, in order to advance to advanced understanding which is wisdom.

And finally developing faith, which is based on the substance of Bible doctrine that resides within your soul.

Faith, is the muscle and power of the spiritually mature life.

Isaiah 33:2

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

2 O LORD [Yahovah], be gracious [chanan] unto us; we have waited [qavah] for thee: be thou their arm [zarowa`] every morning [boqer], our salvation [yashuw`ah] also in the time [`eth] of trouble [tsarah].   KJV-Interlinear

2 O LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble. ESV

Jesus Christ controls history. God set out a plan in eternity past, that takes into consideration every possible thought, intent, or action, throughout all of creation history.

Our entire individual life, is but a blink on the timeline of all of history.

Therefore, anxious as we may be, we need to learn and exercise patience. And learning patience often times comes in the form of prayer.

But prayer, should be based on the substance of knowledge and understanding, which is Bible doctrine.

And a daily study of Bible doctrine, produces knowledge, which produces understanding, which produces orientation to life, and that produces spiritual muscle which we call faith.

And by faith, we can pray, and expect the strength of God, which is herein referred to as the arm of the Lord, and to be our strength every morning, meaning continually moment by moment every day throughout our life, and our deliverance and provision in times of trouble.

This is the Devils world. Therefore, it is not going to ever be a perfect world. Therefore, there is nothing humanity can do to make this imperfect world, any better than it is.  Sin is the corruption of life, and in order to make life perfect again, then sin has to be gotten rid of, and that only comes by mean of Christ.

Perfection throughout creation will only come in the future, when God creates a brand-new universe, having thrown this one away into nonexistence.

Protection and provision for your life, comes to those who advance in their spiritual life, as God intends. And even though we will be pursued and harassed by the problems of this world, then with God in our life, meaning with Bible doctrine in our soul, then whatever our situation, will be temporary at best, and our destiny will be secure and permanent.

Isaiah 33:1

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

1 Woe [howy] to thee that spoilest [shadad], and thou wast not spoiled [shadad]; and dealest treacherously [bagad], and they dealt not treacherously [bagad] with thee! when thou shalt cease [tamam] to spoil [shadad], thou shalt be spoiled [shadad]; and when thou shalt make an end [nalah] to deal treacherously [bagad], they shall deal treacherously [bagad] with thee.   KJV-Interlinear

1 Ah, you destroyer, who yourself have not been destroyed, you traitor, whom none has betrayed! When you have ceased to destroy, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betraying, they will betray you. ESV

Criminal and terrorist organizations in our current day, define their cowardly bravery and cowardly courage when they face the unarmed, the helpless, and the innocent.

Throughout the ages empires and nations have risen and fallen, because of their false motivations, because of their lusts for power, because of their deceptions and games that they have played against their would be friends, only to turn on them through lies and violence.

The same principle applies to individuals.

If empires can fail, then how can nations succeed?

If nations can fail, how can individuals succeed?

And so the principle applies universally over all of humanity.

If you practice treachery, the treachery will come back on you.

If you practice deceit, then deceit will come back on you.

If you take that which does not belong to you, then what you have will be taken from you.

Jesus Christ controls history.

Jesus Christ owns all of creation, including all of life.

Satan tried to take something that didn’t belong to him, and he will lose everything.

Believers in Jesus Christ, are members of Gods family, are citizens of God’s nation, and are joint heirs of everything that exists.

Those that advance in their spiritual life, receive greater portions than those who do not advance.

Anyone who does not have a spiritual life, namely unbelievers, has no right to anything that exists, because they are not heirs of God, therefore they have no inheritance.

Christians who do not advance in their spiritual life, squander the very essence of their heritage, and therefore forfeit some or all of their reward portion.

And so the principle remains. Living outside of Gods plan, means that whatever you have, you will lose.

Unbelievers lose everything because they are permanently outside of Gods plan.

Believers that do not advance in their spiritual life are functionally outside of Gods plan, and therefore they will lose reward.

Only believers in Christ, who will advance in their spiritual life to spiritual maturity, will stand to gain everything and far, far more.
