Isaiah 27

Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

I see two serpents here; both are evil and of the devil. Leviathan, the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent shall be punished. The serpent in the garden of Eden was the symbol of satan. We can assume that satan is Leviathan, the piercing serpent.

The Hebrew word: bariyach, was translated: piercing, but it also means fleeing. That fleeing crooked serpent, was trying to escape Jesus as he came with the sword of the word of God; His sore and great and strong sword.

Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

The angels caught the serpent, satan, and he was cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years, but he was not yet destroyed.

Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Another serpent came from the sea. This is the antichrist beast: and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

They were so evil, that they went straight to the lake of fire, no hearing or trial. People receive judgment before God, these were as fallen angels, thoroughly taken over by satan, despised of God and receiving quick wrath in the torment of the lake of fire. Many of the world are aligning themselves with this antichrist spirit. Let us give ourselves totally to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let none fall away that proclaim his holy name. Leviathan that twisting serpent will twist truth and deceive many in these last days. Let us take up the Lord's sword. The Holy Word of God, the Holy Bible. Speak it to the serpent and his followers. Let the sword of God do the piercing.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Kingdom Fruit

Isa 27:2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

In that day when Messiah Jesus returns for His thousand year reign on earth, Israel shall be a vineyard of red wine, a place of joy and good fruit. The red wine was symbolic of the shed blood of Jesus and his grace. His grace shall be upon Israel.

Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Isa 27:3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

The LORD will personally keep Israel, watering it with his word every moment: lest any hurt it. There will be no accusing the Lord's elect nor will their be any attacks on Israel until the devil is released at the end of the Millennium. Still, the Lord will protect Israel and destroy her enemies.

Isa 27:4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

Fury; heat, rage, hot displeasure, indignation, anger, wrath, is not in the Lord, he is a Lord of peace. Who would come against him? He would go through them with no effort and they would burn together in the Lake of fire.

Isa 27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

It is better to take hold of the strength of the Lord, not our own, being filled by the Holy Spirit and we shall have his peace. We were once enemies, but now we have received a new heart, his strength and his Spirit of peace.

Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Rom 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Isa 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Those of Israel who come to Jesus shall take root and grow in him and fill the face of the earth with the fruit of their witness; new souls saved in Christ Jesus. You will not find this teaching in Israel today, but the time will come when they will see and receive the promised one of God.

Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

The LORDs mercy

Isa 27:7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

The LORD does correct his people. Israel had fallen into idolatry and God allowed foreign nations to take them captive and to distress them. Yet the LORD set limits and times. If you have received things evil, there is a time when you will be free, but those who continue to do evil will have God's judgment upon them. Evil nations who have no love or connection to the LORD, will receive a greater punishment, than his covenant people.

Isa 27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

The LORD will control the amount of the punishment that his people receive.

Isa 27:9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

When Jacob or Israel repents and when the altars to false God's crumble to dust, because of the LORD's wrath. When there are no more false places of worship; in the end times the LORD will visit Israel with salvation. We should seek our hearts to see if any wicked thing is there, any wicked spirit that causes us to stumble and sin. Jesus is our redeemer, we repent of evil and come to him. The time will come for Jacob too.

Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Desolate Cities of unrepentant nations

Isa 27:10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

The city shall be left desolate, the wealth, the sinful pride, the power is no more of the cities on sinful man at the coming of the Lord's kingdom. The animals shall eat from the trees and lie down in places once busy with the things of sinful man.

Isa 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.

Women shall break off branches to keep warm, but because they have no desire or understanding for the things of God, his Bible, his people, his teachings, they shall have no mercy or favor from the Lord at his coming. They were created in his image, but sin has ruled them and they rejected the Lord Jesus at every opportunity and persecuted his people.

Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Trumpet Harvest

Isa 27:12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

In that day, there shall be a gathering; the LORD shall beat off, thresh, the crop, it is harvest time. The grain is separated from the chaff, from Iraq and Egypt a people will be gathered, one by one; hear ye children of Israel.

John the Baptist introduced Jesus as the one to come.

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Isa 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

At the trumpet of the Lord, many will be gathered from all nations unto the Lord.

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Jesus comes to the world and people will either cry out in fear and will be removed by death or they will come in faith to the King of Kings. There will be no unbelievers at his return. There will be a harvest and a separation. We had better warn all, and we ourselves draw closer to our Lord, for he is coming back soon.
