Isaiah's calling

Yahuah called Isaiah to go and warn the believing people that judgment is coming upon them because of their harden heart and blindness of mind - Isaiah 6:9.










Yahuah tells Isaiah to make the peoples heart fat, their ears heavy and shut their eyes - verse 10.

This means so-called believers shall be told the truth (Yahuah's word) by the prophet but their heart, hearing and sight shall be dull (closed or stupid), other words they will not accept the truth because their sin is greater than their belief.

How many people today hear the truth but do not do or live the truth.

History repeats itself!

Why? Because people do not study the scriptures for example the book of Isaiah to understand what happened in his time and thereby preventing these same mistakes to repeat again.

If only we can open our heart, ears and eyes to the truth and proclaim truth so we can be restored (healed) back Yahuah.













Then Isaiah asks Yahuah, how long will this last and Yahuah says until the land (cities) is wasted (judgment) and houses stand empty. Until the land is given over and everyone is taken to another place - Isaiah 6:11-12.

Now here is the mercy of Yahuah! Even with all the sin done by the believers, Yahuah shows mercy to those who truly turn back and follow Him.

Verse 13, Yahuah says He will save a tenth of the people.

You see that! Not all who say they believe are saved but, in this case, a tenth is saved.

Meaning they will still go through the judgment and the punishment but they will trust Yahuah and survive the period of struggle.

Isaiah uses a beautiful parable on how they will return in verse 13; “But still, there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The holy (set-apart) seed is its stump!”

Meaning the leaves and branches shall be destroyed by the fire but the tree trunk will survive the fire and after the fire (punishment) grow again.


 




These are those who endure till the end.

Are you and I one of them?

What are we called to do!
