SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Isaiah 29 contains a prophecy concerning Jerusalem, the City of David, which the prophet calls "Ariel" (meaning "Lion of God") - perhaps an indirect reference to the fact that David was from the tribe of Judah, whose symbol was the lion. This symbol is depicted in today's painting.
     Israel's Southern Kingdom (called "Judah") was about the suffer the same fate (mentioned in the previous chapter) as the Northern Kingdom (called "Israel" after Israel split into two nations). A siege was coming from a multitude of nations which would bring it down (1-8). But they refused to hear; and their prophets and rulers were useless to them (9-12). Outwardly they were religious; but they tried to hide their ways from the LORD (13-16). So their land would lie fallow; but the meek and the poor would be blessed by the LORD; and they would glorify God's name and would learn from him (17-24).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers
shall be like small dust,
and the multitude of the terrible ones
shall be as chaff that passeth away:
yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts
with thunder,
and with earthquake,
and great noise,
with storm and tempest,
and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations
that fight against Ariel,
even all that fight against her and her munition,
and that distress her,
shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth,
and, behold, he eateth;
but he awaketh,
and his soul is empty:
or as when a thirsty man dreameth,
and, behold, he drinketh;
but he awaketh,
and, behold, he is faint,
and his soul hath appetite:
so shall the multitude of all the nations be,
that fight against mount Zion.




     11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned [one knowing the book], saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot [I am able not]; for it is sealed: 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned [I know not writing].

13 Wherefore the Lord said,
Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour me,
but have removed their heart far from me,
and their fear toward me
is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold,
I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,
even a marvellous work and a wonder:
for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.




b. Blessing: On Lebanon and all of Israel (29:17-24)

17 Is it not yet a very little while,
and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,
and the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity,
and out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD,
and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is bought to nought,
and the scorner is consumed,
and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word,
and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate,
and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.


     22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob,
