Isaiah note – on Oppression and Deceit

A good perspective with respect to Israel (and Christians) alike depending on “oppressive” measures (such as sanctions & wars) and “deceit” (such as lying & false teachings) for “their” fight for freedom (loving their life on this earth which is demonstrated by them fighting & killing their enemies to preserve it).

Guess what God responded when similar situations of Israel using “oppression & deceit” and relied on them instead of on God’s Perfect Ways? Not a “bravo” but… (read what prophet Isaiah says in the verses below… I told ya, Lord Jesus is not on Israel’s side (or any other) cheering them on during war!)

“12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,

relied on oppression

and depended on deceit,

13 this sin will become for you

like a high wall, cracked and bulging,

that collapses suddenly, in an instant.

14 It will break in pieces like pottery,

shattered so mercilessly

that among its pieces not a fragment will be found

for taking coals from a hearth

or scooping water out of a cistern.”

(Isaiah 30: 12-14)
