Book Five of Isaiah: God’s Disappointing Vineyard
Parable of the Vineyard
1 Let me sing now for my well-beloved
A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
2 He dug it all around, removed its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it
And also hewed out a wine vat in it;
Then He expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only
wild worthless ones.
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Judge between Me and My vineyard.
4 “What more was there to do for My vineyard
that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce
good grapes did it produce (wild) worthless ones?
5 “So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.
6 “I will lay it waste;
It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it.”
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. And the men of Judah His delightful plant.
Thus He looked for justice, but behold,
bloodshed; For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
Woes for the Wicked
8 Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!
9 In my ears the Lord of hosts has sworn “Surely, many houses shall become desolate,
Even great and fine ones, without occupants.
10 “For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain.”
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!
12 Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the Lord, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
13 Therefore, My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge;
And their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore, Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth without measure; And Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.
15 So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance is abased, The eyes of the proud also will be abased.
16 But the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
And strangers will eat in the waste places of the wealthy.
18 Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
19 Who say, “Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near. And come to pass, that we may know it!”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes. And clever in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble. And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust; For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts. And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 On this account the anger of the Lord has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this His anger is not spent,
But His hand is still stretched out.
26 He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will come with speed swiftly. (Lit. nations; probably Assyria)
27 No one in it is weary or stumbles, None slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the belt at its waist undone, Nor its sandal strap broken.
28 Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent;The hoofs of its horses seem like flint and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind. (Military Munitions & Armaments)
29 Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls as it seizes the prey. And carries it off with no one to deliver it.
30 And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

The Soon Coming Reckoning of Biblical Prophecy Against Israel’s Enemies:
Book Twenty One of Isaiah:
The Fall of Babylon Proclaimed:
God Commands That Babylon Be Taken
21The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea.
As windstorms in the Negev sweep on,
It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.
2 A harsh vision has been shown to me;
The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
3 For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
4
My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.
5 They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; “Rise up, captains, oil the shields,”
6 For thus the Lord says to me,
“Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.
7 “When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention.”
8 Then the lookout called,
“O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower, And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
9 “Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground.”
10 O my threshed people, and my afflicted of the threshing floor! What I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
The God of Israel, I make known to you.
Oracles about Edom and Arabia
11 The oracle concerning Edom.
One keeps calling to me from Seir (Mount Seir ~
Mount Seir equated with Mount Sinai point to the Song of Deborah written in Judges 5:4-5. It seems to suggest that God dwelt on Mount Seir, a range in Edom:)
“When you, Lord, went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water. The mountains quaked before the Lord, the One of Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel.”
“Watchman, how far gone is the night?
Watchman, how far gone is the night?”
12 The watchman says,
“Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again.”
13 The oracle about Arabia.
In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, (Oasis City in Arabia) Meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow
And from the press of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me, “In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;
17 and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken.”
The Philadelphia Trumpet Magazine article today confirms the intentions of these governments who will perform a hidden agenda not so hidden by their recent and reckless actions in light of Biblical Prophecy regarding the enemies of Israel.
