Isaiah’s Message to America!
Isaiah 3:1-4:1
“For Behold!
The LORD GOD of Hosts, takes from Washington DC and from America supply and support, every supply of bread and every supply of water, mighty man and man of war, judge, and prophet, fortune-teller and elder, captain of 50 and man of rank, counselor, crafty magician and cunning charmer.
I will set children as their rulers.
Capricious ones will govern them.
The people will oppress one another - each one by his fellow, each one by his neighbor.
The child will be insolent to the aged, and dishonorable to the honorable.
When a man takes hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying: ‘You have a cloak, you be our ruler! This ruin is under your Charge.’
In that day he will protest, saying: ‘I’m no healer! In my house is not bread or cloak. Don’t make me a ruler of people!’
For Washington DC has stumbled, and America is fallen.
For their tongue and their actions are against The LORD, defying the eyes of His Glory.
The expression of their faces bears witness against them.
They display their sin like Sodom - they do not hide it.
Oy, their souls!
For they brought evil on themselves.
Say to the righteous, he will be well, eating the fruit of their deeds.
Oy!, the wicked!
It will be bad for him, for the dealing of his hands will be done to him.
My People!
Children are their oppressors and women rule over them.
My People!
Your guides mislead you and destroy the way of your paths.
The LORD arises to contend a case, and stands to judge the people.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of His people and with the rulers: ‘You have devoured the vineyard.
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the face of the poor?’ says The LORD GOD of Hosts.
Moreover The LORD says; ’Since the Daughters of America are proud, and walk with outstretched necks and seductive eyes, walking and skipping as they go, making a jingling with their feet, therefore The LORD will smite with a scab the forehead of the Daughters of America.
The LORD will expose their secret parts.’ In that day The LORD will strip the finery of the anklets, headbands, crescents, pendants and bracelets, veils, headdresses, armlets, sashes, perfume vials, amulets, rings and nose-jewels, festal robes, capes, cloaks, purses, lace scarves, fine linen, turbans, and veils.
Now it will come to pass:
Instead of sweet spices there will be rottenness; instead of a sash, rags; instead of curled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
Her gates will lament and mourn.
Desolate, she will sit on the ground.
Seven women will grab hold of one man in that day, saying, ‘We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel. Only let us be called by your name - take away our reproach!’”
