Isaiah 40:1-2a 
 
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people (Israel) saith your God. 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished,..." Now, you know it's amazing, Jerusalem by name is supposed to be the city of what? Peace. Has it been? Never. It's been in turmoil for as many thousand years as its existence, but the peace of Jerusalem is in the future. You've heard me say it; you've heard others say it, "Pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem," because the peace of Jerusalem will come about when? When Christ returns at His Second Coming! And my, if ever there's a time when believers should be praying that the Lord will come quickly, it's today. 
 
 
Oh, I dread to think what the world's going to see in the next 20 years. Now, I'm going to share these things with people because I read them with my own eyes. A Muslim imam right here in America made this statement not too long ago that by 2020, now that's not very long, that's only 16 more years, that by 2020 they expect a Muslim president in the White House and a Muslim majority in Congress. Imagine! We can see it coming unless something puts the brakes on it. All right, so pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the soon return of our Lord and Savior.

Isaiah 24:1-2a 
 
"Behold, the LORD (Now, remember the word LORD, in the Old Testament, is God the Son, Jehovah.) maketh the earth empty, (Now, we're talking about the whole earth. We're not talking about the land of Israel.) and he maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2. And it shall be, as with the people, (the ordinary run of the mill) so with the priest; as with the servant, so his master; as with the maid, and her mistress; as with the buyer, the seller: the lender, so with the borrower:..." In other words, no one is going to be exempt from this outpouring of God's wrath. 
 
 
Isaiah 24:3 
 
"The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word." Now, here I think the word "land" is referring to the nation of Israel. It's going to be the vortex of all of this coming wrath and judgment. Now, in verse 4 we come to the whole planet. 
 
 
Isaiah 24:4 
 
"The earth (all of it) mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish." In other words, the super, super rich are not going to be able to escape it with their money. They can build enclaves, and they can build places where they think they are totally safe, but it will never work. They're all going to come under God's judgment.

"In the year that King Uzziah died (and of course history records that.) I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." Now, I think I can take the time, a lot of times I don't like to do this, but let's go back and get a picture of this King Uzziah in II Kings 15:7 and in this particular portion he's called Azariah, but it's the same man, Uzziah. Here we come to his death as Isaiah is referring to it, verse 6. 
 
 
II Kings 15:6-7 
 
"The rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 7. So Azariah (or Uzziah) slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead." Now, I wanted to go back and see if I can find the verses. I may not be able to do this, yeah, I think we can go to I Kings chapter 22. I want you to see what was unique about King Uzziah. He was a leper. I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to find it. I should have had it, I Kings 22 verse 19. No, that's not the one I want. Well, anyway, let's come back to Isaiah, I'm sorry about that.

Now, the whole book of Isaiah is a roller coaster, of sorts, of judgment and chastisement and blessing. Judgment and blessing; over and over. But, the whole thing is looking forward to three major periods of time when the nation of Israel would come under intense judgment or chastisement. The first time period is the one that was just only a hundred years beyond Isaiah, and that would be in 606 BC. Isaiah writes at 700 BC, so it's about a hundred years earlier. Again, that's a reminder that God's wheels turn ever so slowly. Here's Isaiah prophesying what's going to be coming upon the nation of Israel, but it doesn't really reach fruition for a hundred years. 
 
 
So, that's again why I always temper our excitement for the Rapture. Yes, I think it's close, but on the other hand, God's wheels turn so much slower than we think they should that we can't just rest and say, "Oh well, the Lord's coming next week -- so what." I'll never forget a fellow wrote from Pennsylvania a couple of springs ago and he said, "Les, I was just getting ready to plant an apple tree and then it struck me. Why should I, the Lord's coming!" I said, "You go ahead and plant it because we don't know that He's going to come that soon." We hope He does, but He may not. 
 
 
So, anyway, Isaiah is prophesying primarily now

Revelation 20:1

Revelation 20:2 
 
"And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him (how long?) a thousand years." All right, now, let's just see how often Scripture repeats this number -- 1000 years. All right, come on down to verse 3.

In other words, as I think I've put it in one of my teachings, Washington D.C. today is more or less the capital of the world.

I think I told this at one of my seminars on the road the other day, I don't remember where it was, Chicago or Washington D.C., whatever. I made the comment, and some of you in my Oklahoma class have heard me say the same thing, that I can use Romans 15:8 as an introduction to almost any subject in Scripture because this is so foundational.

Well, the southern half of the kingdom which is split at this time, but nevertheless as we've made note in our previous four programs, Isaiah is predominately prophesying to the southern kingdom of Judah, but he also reaches across up to the northern kingdom, so it really implies the whole house of Israel. 
 
 
Now, I just had a thought. I haven't done this before, but I'm going to read something, and I'm going to read it because I don't think I can do it justice by just quoting it. This is a quote by Miles Coverdale, way back in the 1500's, probably shortly after Martin Luther came out of Roman Catholicism. Now, I'm going to read it in the Old English as it's printed here.

As I mentioned in the last taping, we intend to do a study in the book of Isaiah because it's a tremendous book of prophecy. And we won't be staying in the Old Testament, so don't worry, we'll be jumping up into the New just as much as we do the Old. We'll be starting in Isaiah chapter 1. But, as always, we need to do some background, because I've learned in my own study that the historical setting is almost as important as anything else you can put in it. Where are we in history? What was the setting concerning the children of Israel? Why does all of this talk about coming disasters and coming blessings? Because that's just exactly the way God has been dealing with Israel, His favored Nation.

"THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." 
 
 
It doesn't go back to the beginning with Adam. Now the other genealogy in Luke Chapter 3, does go all the way back to Adam. Matthew depicts Christ as the King. And that is why the terminology "The Kingdom of Heaven" so often occurs in Matthew. It is unique to the Book of Matthew. Although the Kingdom goes all the way through the four Gospels, it is uniquely referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven here in this Book of Matthew. 
 
 
Since Christ is presented in the Book of Matthew as the King, the opening verse of this Book will take us back to where that whole Kingship idea began. It all began with Abraham, and the Abrahamic Covenant. Verse one drives us back to Genesis Chapter 12. It will all tie in beautifully. Before we go very far in Matthew you will see how it will all dovetail together. We've covered all of this in Genesis 12 before. However, as we have many new viewers each week, We need to build some basics again before we take that run through the four Gospels, the Book of Acts, and Paul's writings.

6 3 1 Through the Bible with Les Feldick   Rapture - Tribulation - Second Coming - Millennium

I have had the question come up, so I will anticipate it for you since we are limited in our time factor here in the taping studio. The question came up that if there was such amazing technology equal to what we have today, there must have shipyards. Why didn't Noah just go to a shipyard? Well, I will tell you why Noah couldn't go to a shipyard. Because that isn't the way God wanted it done! God wanted this Ark to be built clear out on dry land, somewhere far removed from water so that it would seem all the more absurd to the unbelieving masses. 
 
 
Again, I would just like you to picture this, if you will. I am sure others have brought this to your mind, your preachers or teachers. Can you imagine the response of the people of Noah's day when this old gentleman is out there and no doubt he had to hire a lot of people. There were big timbers to be handled. 
 
 
But, don't you suppose that the people of that day just ridiculed this crazy old man, building something that he says is going to float in water, when there isn't water for miles and miles. And, he talks about a flood when it hasn't even rained an inch or two let alone enough to cover everything. 
 
 
So, God had His purpose. On top of that, I think God wanted this to carry on for 120 years so that generation would have ample time to wake up and realize that judgment was coming. So there were a lot of reasons. 
 
 
The technology? Yes, I think Noah could have gone to a shipyard and I think he could have made it from steel or whatever he wanted to but that wasn't the way God intended it to be done. So He said, make it of gopher wood. 
 
 
Secondly, remember God is going to have Noah build this thing so that it can withstand tremendous forces. Sitting out there with no destination. All it is going to have to do is survive. Just so it doesn't sink. And, it will be there for over a year in the water. Let's go on. Genesis chapter 6 verse 15: 
 
 
Genesis 6:15 
 
"And this is the fashion (or the pattern) which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits,..."

Along with their tremendous standard of living and their technology; morally and spiritually as the Bible said, they became so corrupt. They became so wicked. They became so violent. Murder was just running rampant and God said, I am going to have to bring it to an end. So, let's pick that up in verse 13. 
 
 
Genesis 6:13 
 
"And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." 
 
 
Now, watch that last prepositional phrase! He's not just going to destroy man. In other words, it isn't just a matter of killing the life, but He's going to destroy the planet! The whole surface of the earth is going to be totally; I like to use the expression, turned inside out. It's going to be totally destroyed. We will see that in just a little bit. Now verse 14. The instruction to Noah is: 
 
 
Genesis 6:14 
 
"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." 
 
 
I never like to just hurry through these verses in the Old Testament because Paul says in Romans 15 that "all these things were written for our learning." I always maintain that you do not get doctrine back here but we get the learning. We get the foundation. I like to make the analogy between Bible Study or becoming a Bible student and our secular education. How many computer scientists would ever become a computer scientist without third and fourth grade arithmetic? Impossible! So no matter what professional discipline someone ends up in, he had to get his basics of education back there in grade school.

Always remember, God has been a God of grace from day one. And, even though we speak of our particular Church Age as the Age of Grace, yet, that doesn't mean that the attributes of the Grace of God started with the Church. 
 
 
If you will, remember when Adam and Eve had sinned and had sewn on their aprons of fig leaves and yet the minute God approached them in the Garden, where did they go? They ran and hid! Well, what prompted God to go and find them? His Grace! 
 
 
God is a God of Grace! That's one of His attributes. So, here again, even though the human race, for the most part has totally turned against God and have put Him out of their life, yet, we've got this man Noah to whom God could extend His Grace.

Genesis 6:8a

"But Noah..."


I always emphasize to my classes over the years, watch for that little three lettered word -- b -- u -- t . It's just a conjunction. But in our English language it usually denotes what I call the flip side! Even though on the one side we have seen the demise of the human race because they have just been going down the tube. But, the flip side was, there was still this one man, Noah!

Genesis 5:5 
 
"And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died." 
 
 
But before Adam died, Seth came on the scene as a replacement for Abel who had been murdered earlier by Cain. Then we come to verse 6 and we pick up the genealogy of this man Seth, the replacement for Abel, or the beginning of what we would call the "spiritual" line. 
 
 
Remember, that we pointed out earlier that all though Scripture the process is first the natural or the unbelieving end of it then the Spiritual or the believer. Cain, the unbeliever, followed by Abel the spiritual man. Abel was then replaced by Seth. Then as we come up through the Scriptures you have first Esau and then Jacob. First King Saul and then King David. As we approach the end time, we will have first the appearance of the anti-Christ and then the appearance of the real Christ. 
 
 
This follows all the way through Scripture. So Cain was the beginning of the natural or the non-spiritual aspect of the human race. But, now Seth comes on the scene to become the head of the spiritual line. We pick it up in verse 6 where it says: 
 
 
Genesis 5:6a 
 
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos;..." 
 
 
And so on down the line. We aren't going to take all of these names. But, finally we get closer and closer to the flood and I think in the closing remarks of the last lesson, we talked about Enoch, who walked with God, and then Enoch was translated, he did not see death. And I think that's probably a perfect picture, in type, of the out calling of the Church or the believers before the coming judgment of the Tribulation. Enoch was translated shortly before the flood, as the judgement of that day came upon the scene.

Romans 5:12a 
 
"Wherefore, as by one man (he is referring to whom? Adam.) sin entered into the world, and death (let me use the verb, entered) by sin; (in other words, before Adam ate, nothing died. Death was an unknown entity. But, once he ate, sin came in and with sin came death.) and so death passed upon (how many?) all men,..." 
 
 
ALL, Paul says in Romans chapter 3 -- ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No one escapes it because we have been born of Adam. So death passed upon all men. 
 
 
Romans 5:12b 
 
"... for that all have sinned:" 
 
Let's define the word death. We like to use definitions as we come up through Scripture. First and foremost, let's look at physical death because that's what we are most acquainted with. We see it on every hand. Not only in the human race but also in the animal kingdom, the birds and so forth. But, so far as the human race is concerned, death as we understand it. What is death? I think the simplest way we can put it is that death is separation. Death = separation. In the physical then, it is a separation of the body from the soul and spirit. Death is that separation of that invisible part of us from the body. 
 
 
As we contemplate this whole makeup of man and his relationship to the physical existence; his relationship to God, it is good to understand some of these things. Whenever the soul and spirit takes flight from this body, we have death.
