#Isaiah 65

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

The LORD Answers the Prayer of the Remnant

“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations, to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick, sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls. They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long. Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps, both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,”

“Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”

This is what the LORD says:

“As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all. And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there. Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.

But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.

You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name. Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.

For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.

No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.

They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them. Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,” — Isaiah 65 | The Reader's Bible (BRB) The Berean Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible. All rights Reserved.

Genesis 1:6-23 The Divine Interconnection of Creation

Genesis 1:6-8

The Bible describes God creating the "sky" to separate waters above from below, illustrating divine control over chaos described in Genesis 1:4 with the phrase “and it was so” confirming fulfillment. This theme of chaos and order is mirrored in space, particularly on Jupiter, where what use to be the Great Red Spot—a colossal storm larger than Earth—rages chaos incessantly, revealing to us what this stage of creation looked like to the creator. However, as I have discussed within my work, this Great Spot is no longer red but rather blue. 

On May 12, 2024, NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this color-enhanced view of the giant planet's northern hemisphere. It provides a detailed view of chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms in an area known to scientists as a folded filamentary region. In these regions, the zonal jets that create the familiar banded patterns in Jupiter's clouds break down, leading to turbulent patterns and cloud structures that evolve rapidly over just a few days.

Just as God divided light H216 from the chaos of darkness H2822 in Genesis 1:3-5. I believe we are watching the creators hand creating the new Earth we were told would come someday.

 

Isaiah 65:17  See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

 

I too have been shown a revelation of a new Earth, among others, those 40 days I spent in psychosis, traveling in and out of Florida. If you are a new reader, now would be the time to inform you that many people in psychosis experience religious content in their experience. Psychosis is how God got the animals to enter into the Ark. Science is taking God out of our understanding, as you well know. Keep reading my work, this will begin to become clearer the more you read.

 

Let's recap the Strongs concordance of the word darkness to gain some deeper understanding:

Darkness: H2822 "חֹשֶךְ" (choshek): a significant force in both physical and spiritual realms, can represent a form of obscurity, chaos, or ignorance.

Jupiter after it turned blue.

Genesis 1:9-13

9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so. 10  God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good. H2896 11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so. 12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. H2896 13  There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

Good: H289 ṭôḇ: "to be or become high; to rise." This term conveys elevation, whether in physical stature, spiritual prominence, or status with God. It's often tied to divine intervention and the uplifting of the humble, as seen in various biblical passages. The Hebrew term "מאז" (ma'az) also translates to "height" or "high place" and is linked to spiritual ascension and elevation through divine influence. It highlights God's authority to elevate individuals from humble beginnings to positions of honor, reflecting His grace and transformative power in the lives of people and nations. This concept underscores a journey of faith and the potential for believers to rise above their circumstances by relying on God's power.

On the third day of creation, God commanded the waters beneath the sky to gather, revealing dry land, which He called "earth," and the collected waters "seas." God deemed this arrangement good. H2896 Yet, we are told that only the spirit of God is good. H2896 What does this mean? It suggests that there is a good. H2896 spirit shaping things here on Earth, similar to my interpretation of Eywa from Avatar. A "Higher Authority."

 

Mark 10:18 Why do you call me good? G18 No one is good G18 except God alone.

 

Good: G18 agapē: refers to a deep and unconditional love. This term is often associated with divine love, particularly the love that God exhibits towards humanity. In the New Testament, agapē embodies the selfless and sacrificial love exemplified by Christ, demonstrating a commitment to the well-being of others without expecting anything in return. It transcends mere affection or emotional attachment, instead focusing on the choice to act in the best interest of others, reflecting God's nature and intentions. The concept of agapē encourages believers to practice this form of love in their relationships, fostering unity and compassion within the community of faith.

 

God then instructs the earth to produce grass, seed-bearing herbs, and fruit trees. The earth complied, generating vegetation as commanded, infused by a life-giving spirit that breathed vitality into the land, enabling the growth of lush greenery. God saw that it was good. He saw that it was God. Christ lives in all things. The day concluded with evening and morning, marking the third day.

 

Colossians 1:16-17 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

 

Genesis 1:14-19

14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. H2896 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

This passage describes the creation of celestial bodies, detailing God’s command to create lights in the sky to distinguish day from night. These lights serve as signs for marking time—seasons, days, and years. It mentions the creation of two main lights: the sun to govern the day and the moon to govern the night, along with the stars. These celestial elements were placed in the sky to illuminate the earth and separate light from darkness, being deemed good. H2896 by God. Deemed as Christ. This occurs on the fourth day of the creation narrative.

 

Genesis 1:20-23

20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.” 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

Allow me for a moment to link in the subliminal message given to us by Christ found in the cinematic movie Avatar released in 2009. Genesis 1:20-23 highlights a crucial point in the creation story, emphasizing God's command to fill the waters and skies with living beings, each imbued with the life-giving force of energy on our planet, Christ. Verse 20 emphasizes the divine intention for ecosystems to flourish, similar to the interconnected balance maintained by Eywa, the deity of Pandora, in Avatar. This showcases the importance of ecosystem variety and harmony. In verses 21 and 22, the creation of both aquatic creatures and birds is described, underscoring the order and richness of life as God categorizes His creations "after their kind," much like Eywa recognizes the distinctiveness of each species within Pandora's vibrant ecosystem. The blessing imparted by God, urging them to "be fruitful and multiply," reinforces the cycle of life, setting in motion reproductive processes that sustain these populations, mirroring Eywa's role in maintaining and nurturing life. Finally, the concluding statement marks the completion of this creative act, highlighting the rhythm of time in the narrative with "There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day." This reflects the harmony and purpose behind all living things, similar to the world Eywa governs on Pandora in Avatar, designed for productivity and coexistence.

The complex account of creation encompasses not only the divine orchestration of life but also the interconnectedness of every element within the ecosystem. Through the establishment of light and the harmonious balance aimed at sustaining life, we can see a reflection of both divine intention and a call to stewardship over our planet. As we draw parallels between creation narratives and cultural patterns, we are reminded of our responsibility to honor and nurture the delicate web of life that exists around us. It is a sacred duty to preserve the beauty and balance of creation, ensuring that future generations can equally experience the wonder of God's work, not the wonder of the works of "MACHINES."

Heavenly Free Will

It is exciting to think about what our bodies may be like in Heaven and the New Earth. Can we move between Heaven and the New Earth? I think we will. Will we be stronger, faster, bigger, more coordinated? Will we look significantly different? Will we still be recognizable? All these things are mysterious and exciting, but I find one question disconcerting. Will we have freewill and if so, could…
