This is a second look at ISAIAH 28 in response to Christians and prophecy criteria. Here is the first one. [1]
So let us look at the prophecy criteria in depth.
1. Ephraim (Christianity) and Judah (Praise)
2. Drunkards, Christ warned his followers not to become intoxicated by him. Why was that? He couldn't lead them anywhere if they were intoxicated. In other words he could not show them all the rooms in his fathers house on the way to leading them to the Father. That is why he taught people detachment, and even o be detached from their own families.
3. They have swallowed up like figs that give people the runs. Prophet Isaiah obviously had a sense of humor, especially as the fig is usually associated with Israel and Jesus cursing it. Although in a different scripture not in the bible, Jesus did not curse the fig tree at all and rebuked Peter for doing so.
4. The one that the LORD sends to sit in judgement upon them by delivering his justice. He's a source of strength to those that turn back the battle from the gate. Who is found at the gate? The one that was sent to pass the justice of God to them.
5. Then he describes the so-called priests and prophets of Christianity and the text says that they "all the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth." In other words where are the Virgins ready to be Brides of Christ?
6. Then the texts calls the Christians babies because they have not been weaned off of the milk of the Christ teachings. Integrate, integrate, integrate....
7. Then God says he will talk to you in a foreign tongue and he does give me messages for you in Hebrew/Aramaic sometimes.
8. Then he says "This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and, “This is the place of repose”— but they would not listen."
9. "So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do this, do that, a rule for this, a rule for that; a little here, a little there— so that as they go they will fall backward; they will be injured and snared and captured. Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers (USA) who rule this people in Jerusalem.
You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death, with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”
10. So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place.
Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it. As often as it comes it will carry you away; morning after morning, by day and by night, it will sweep through.”
11. Then he tells you to stop your mocking, to listen and hear his voice.
12. His God instructs him and teaches him the right way.
13. All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.
