The parable - Isaiah 5

We know Yahusha (Jesus) told many parables in the 4 gospels but here in Isaiah 5, a parable is also been spoken.

The parable is about a vineyard and the growing of grapes.

The prophet Isaiah describes how Yahuah made the vineyard by clearing all the stones and planted the best vines. In this farm land He had a winepress to make the wine.

Then Yahuah waited for the yielding of the grapes, but He only received rotten grapes - Isaiah 5:1-2.

 

This is what Yahuah says from verse 3-4; please judge between Me and my vineyard because what more could I have done to have received the best, choicest grapes, instead of the rotten ones.

 

Yahuah says in verse 5-6, what does He have to do to this vineyard that produces rotten grapes; The vines will be burned down, the ground shall be trampled on and thorns and weeds shall grow in it. He will send no rain to the vineyard and therefore the land will be a waste land.

What does this parable mean?

The vineyard is the nation of Israel and the vines are the people - verse 7.

 

Yahuah says in the same verse, He looked for good but saw bad (oppression), He looked for right but only found wickedness.

Yahuah explains in this parable that He gives blessings like food, rain, children and health to those who have accepted Him as their Elohim (Almighty) - this is the vineyard.

What He wants in return is love, obedience and worship - this is the good vine (good fruit).

The meaning of this parable for us today!

If you have repented, been born again from above and believing in Yahusha (Jesus), you will receive the vineyard. In this vineyard you need to grow into bearing good fruit, you will give love, obedience and worship to Yahuah through Yahusha.

It is simple; You believe in the one true Creator, trust and obey Him, then He will give you all His blessings but if you believe He is the one true Creator and you do not trust and obey Him then He will have no choice but to remove you (if you do not turn back to Him). 

In that day - Isaiah 4

 

"In that day" is mentioned twice in this chapter, first one in verse 1 and second time in verse 2.

What does this mean "In that day?"

I must confess that I am not 100% sure if this prophesy is complete or still in process of been fulfilled.

I will give you my view on what Isaiah said in chapter 4 1-2, and I pray the Set-apart (Holy) Spirit guides you and I in understanding this writing from the prophet.

What does the 2 verses say about "in that day!"

 

Verse 1 many women (believers) shall come to one man (believer) and say, we will have our own belongings and make our own food but only let us be married to you so that our disgrace/shame can be taken away from us.

Verse 2 The Branch (Messiah) will be beautiful (known) and be glorified and the fruit of the earth shall be blessed for the true believers.

"In that day," can mean two things in my view; First view of verse 1:  There were more woman than men during the period when Israel were at war and many men were killed. This would be a period between all the Kings of Israel, starting with David until the Messiah came. Believing woman wanted to be married to one believing man so they can be spiritually covered.

First view of verse 2: When Messiah came in the time when Israel was under the rule of other nations like example Rome, believers who truly followed Yahuah accepted and followed the Messiah. These believers in Messiah were blessed in all their ways.

Second view of verse 1 is future: There will be more believing woman then believing men in the near future and many believing woman will want to stay or be married to this single believing man so they can be spiritually covered.

Second view of verse 2 is future: Only at the second coming of Messiah will the new Kingdom of Yahuah be beautiful, glorified completely and the true believing Israel will be blessed in all their ways.

 

I have two questions on these two verses which I do not have a clear answer?

Firstly, are the two verses related to each other or are they two different prophesies.

Secondly, has this prophesy happened already or is it still to happen or did it happen already but it will happen a second time in the near future.

Oh Yahuah, I pray Your Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) gives me understanding.

Woman proudness

Isaiah also prophases about rebellious woman in Isaiah 3:16-24.

Woman who are proud, seductive, dressed up, using jewellery and make-up to be noticed and lustful. Remember it is not non-believing women but to the believing woman of Yahuah the prophet is talking too.

A believing woman or man in the Almighty does not live as the worlds women or men live, they are different to the rest of the world.

The fruit they carry are good fruit.

 

Woman reading this message may not be happy for what is written but this comes directly out of the scripture.

These types of woman Yahuah are not happy with; those that are haughty (arrogant and full of pride), disdainfully proud, seductive eyes (lustful make-up/dressing), mincing (dainty or delicate, walking or speaking not normal as if better than others).

Yahuah said He is going to remove these from woman and they shall be stripped of their fine apparel, and be clothed in rags, so that their nakedness shall be seen - Isaiah 3:17.

Yahuah takes away; beauty of ornaments, jewellery, their hair dos (curls), necklaces, ear pearls (earrings), chains, bracelets, scoffs (veils), fancy head dress, ornaments of the legs,  sashes (a long band or scarf worn over one shoulder or around the waist), perfumes, amulets (a charm in ear or around neck), rings, nose jewels, costly robes, cloaks, shawls (a large piece of cloth worn by women over their shoulders and/or head), purses (hand bags), mirrors, fine linen, turbans (hoods) and large veils - Isaiah 3:17-23.

And this Yahuah will give the woman instead - punishment; bad fragrance (stink perfume), a rope, a bold head, sackcloth (baggy clothes) and scars (on face or arms or body) - Isaiah 3:24.

 

Satan is misleading many women away from the role Yahuah created them for.

Woman have a very important part in Yahuah's creation but feminism, abortion, free sex (many lovers), way of dressing, tattoos, body botox, pride, having children without a father and homosexuality is making more woman sad, unhappy, suicide and lonely than ever before.

Let's pray our woman release this lie and turn back to Yahuah through Yahusha (Jesus) the Messiah.  

Confusion in the house of the believer

 

Isaiah prophesies of the destruction, removal of food and people by Yahuah - Isaiah 3:1-3.

If you read verse 2-3 carefully it is talking about losing good judges, loss of respected men, loss of prophets, loss of skilled people who do good work.

Does this sound like what is happening to us today! The land is falling apart!

Listen to verse 4-5, no respect for elders, the youth rebels, children run the show, pressure is put on all, be it - work, food, water, health, the land and the poor become poorer and the rich become richer.

This all brings confusion to the house of the believer. Nobody trusts each other, dad argues with mom, dad no longer wants to be the head of the house.

This all because we turned away from Yahuah and did our own thing - Isaiah 3;4-8.

WOE is said twice in verse 9 and 11.

Woe to those who do sin openly, no longer worried who sees. But they bring judgment upon themselves.

Woe to the wrong - the evil/wicked ones! They will be rewarded for their wrong doings!

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their being! For they have brought evil upon themselves.

Isaiah 3:11 “Woe to the wrong – evil! For the reward of his hand is done to him.

Isaiah 3:12 "Rebellious people," the youth, women and leaders; all lead astray, Judging is coming to the people, leaders and those who plunder the land and the poor - Isaiah 3:13-14.

Can you see what is coming!

This is not something new, Isaiah has warned us, it is coming but the question is; are we ready! Are we following Yahuah truly, if not, turn back to Him.

He is the only way, through Messiah Yahusha!
