ISAIAH 17 - THE ENEMY'S PLANS AGAINST ISRAEL WILL BACKFIRE!!!

With my eyes closed .. Father, Son & Holy Spirit led me to Isaiah 17 for the 5th time (THE BIBLICAL MEANING OF 17 & 5 IS OVERCOMING VICTORY BY GOD'S GRACE).

ENEMIES ARE COMING AGAINST ISRAEL WITH PLANS TO DESTROY THEM. ISAIAH PROPHESIED THIS JUDGMENT AGAINST ISRAEL & BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED THEIR SAVIOR & THEIR SINS HAVE OPENED THE DOOR TO EVIL. AS A RESULT THERE WILL BE SUFFERING AND ADVERSITY .. BUT GOD PROMISES TO REBUKE THE NATIONS THAT ARISE AGAINST HIS PEOPLE. HE WILL STOP THE PLANS OF THE ENEMY FOR ANNIHILATION.

THEIR PLANS WILL BACKFIRE AND .. instead of the Israeli's seeking shelter.. THEIR ENEMIES WILL BE RUNNING & HIDING FROM THE STORM OF THE LORD!!!

"When that time comes, the glorious nation of Israel will be brought down; its prosperous people will be skin and bones. Israel will be like wheat fields in Rephaim Valley picked clean of grain. It will be like an olive tree beaten with a stick, leaving two or three olives or maybe four or five on the highest or most fruitful branches. The Lord God of Israel has promised this.

At that time the people will turn and trust their Creator, the holy God of Israel. They have built altars and places for burning incense to their goddess Asherah, and they have set up sacred poles for her. But they will stop worshiping at these places.

Israel, you have forgotten the God who saves you, the one who is the mighty rock where you find protection. You plant the finest flowers to honor a foreign god.

The nations are a noisy, thunderous sea. But even if they roar like a fearsome flood, God will give the command to turn them back. They will be like dust, or like a tumbleweed blowing across the hills in a windstorm. In the evening their attack is fierce, but by morning they are destroyed. This is what happens to those who raid and rob us.

Isaiah 17:4-8, 10, 12-14 CEV

ISRAEL IS FOREVER!!! 

When I posted today's scripture and message on X, I received a timestamp of 12:23 and today's date is April 9. HERE IS THE BIBLICAL MEANING OF THESE NUMBERS:

12 = PERFECT GOVERNMENT OF GOD (seed, time, harvest)

23 = In the negative, it means DEATH. In the positive, it means BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD (His Glory!!!) 

9 = REPRESENTS BOTH SIDES OF GOD'S DIVINE JUDGMENT. In the negative, it means JUDGMENT THAT IS DEATH. In the positive, it means JUDGMENT THAT IS LIFE .. FRUIT BEARING.

I also found 3 scriptures for the 12:23 timestamp that confirm today's message.

"Jesus said: The time  has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory."

John 12:23 CEV

"He makes nations strong, then shatters their strength."

Job 12:23 CEV

"Jerusalem, what a strong and beautiful city you are!"

Psalms 122:3 CEV

When I started today's blog post, Blogger noted the time was 2:22. Haggai 2:22 is another confirmation. I am including verses 21 and 22 for context. Isaiah 22:2 is also confirmation.

"Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, 'I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. I will [in the distant future] overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the [ungodly] nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them, and the horses and their riders will do down, every one  by the sword of his brother [annihilating one another."

Haggai 2:21-22 AMP

"You [Jerusalem] who were full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous and exuberant city; Your slain were not slain [in a glorious death] with the sword, Nor did they die in battle."

Isaiah 22:2 AMP

TO CHOOSE LIFE IS TO CHOOSE JESUS!!! HE LOVES YOU AND IS EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS FREE GIFT OF SALVATION & TO ASK HIM TO BE YOUR LORD & SAVIOR. THE BIBLE SAYS WE MUST CONFESS WITH OUR MOUTH THAT JESUS IS LORD TO BE SAVED FOR ALL ETERNITY. 

"And what is God's "living message?" It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation. The heart that believes in him receives the gift of righteousness of God - and then the mouth confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scriptures encourage us with these words: "Everyone who believes in Him will never be disappointed." Romans 10:9-11 TPT

PRAY THIS PRAYER ALOUD WITH YOUR VOICE TO RECEIVE JESUS' FREE GIFT OF SALATION & INVITE HIM TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE:

Jesus, I come to you asking forgiveness of my sins. I confess in my heart and speak with my mouth that You are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins, that You took my punishment & paid the price I could not pay for eternal salvation. I believe that you were raised on the 3rd day and are now seated at the right hand of God the Father. I receive Your free gift of salvation and I ask You to be the Lord of my heart, my soul and my life. Thank you for saving me & making me righteous before God.
