God Takes Steps To Correct Sinful Behavior: Isaiah 9:8-13 Outine/Notes

`Seeking Human Answers Instead of Trusting in God and His Word. Isaiah 9:8-

The message from the LORD was Heard Far and Wide: The Lord Sent the Matter to Israel

The Bricks have Fallen Down: We Better Build A Better Wall of Resistance

Charles e Whisnant, Pastor/Teacher/ Landscaper/Golfer, Bowler, Weed-eater, Lawn care /etc.

STEPS THAT LEAD TO GOD'S WRATH ON SINFUL BEHAVIOR AND NO REPENTANCE
Isaiah 9:8 THE LORD SENT THE MATTER TO JACOB to all Israel at least four times.
The Lord sent (8804) a word(01696) into Jacob, and it hath lighted (8804) upon Israel.

“WORD” 1439 times in the KJV acts, chronicles, commandment, matter, saying, thing, word. Means speech, word, speaking.
“LIGHTED” (8804) it expresses the “simple” or “casual” action of the root in the active voice.: He said. The word mood: Perfect: which expresses a completed action. “I have come.”
- Sometimes in Hebrew, future events are conceived so vividly and so realistically that they are regarded as having virtually taken place and are described by the perfect. in promises, threats.
- http://classic.studylight.org/isb/view.cgi?number=8804&tool=heb
- It has been done. Itg has fallen down upon Isarel.
- http://classic.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Isaiah+9%3A8&section=1&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&Enter=Perform+Search

Isaiah 9:9 And all the people shall know (8804) , even Ephraim and the inhabitant (8802) of Samaria, that say (8800) in the pride01342)( and stoutness ( 01433)of heart, NOTE know and lighted same.

They had greatness, magnitude of pride, insolence (bad sense) rising up in them.

Isaiah 9:10 The bricks are fallen down (8804) , but we will build (8799) with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down (8795) , but we will change (8686) them into cedars.

The tribes east of the Jordan had already been taken captive, at this time, and that was followed by shortly tbe devastation of Galilee which left the tribes of Ephraim, Isaachar, the half tribe of Manasseh and Asher in Mount Ephraim and the capitol of Samasria.
- 2 Chronicles 30:6-11 ; 31:6; The lost “bricks” to them. Pekah say “these are not such a bad lost.” So Hezekial invited those of the remaining tribes to worship at Jerusalem.
- Pekah believed he could take Samaria and rebuld stronge defenses. After all he had for three years earlier. But as we see he was attack by the Philistines and factions of Syrians forces who were resisiting Rezin.
- Some at escaped from the Assydrian conquest and were not in Judah.

The attitude of if one action falls, we will try another.
How many events have we seen where an event has been so made destructive. And they say we are going to rebuild. Perhaps the very thing that God wanted to destroy. In the case of Israel it was pride
Who builds with cut stones?
- Those who makes a good vow; and put a limited to it by time:
- Those who are inspired by inadequate motives.
- Those who have not calculated the full force and weight of temptation.
- Those who build their lives in excess.
  - Generally with the everything but the spiritual. 20 TV and 2 hours of preaching.
- Those like the world who have a purpose of excel in tacked that were good for their business.
- Some say the will “rise again” with a good purpose.

Isaiah 9:11 Therefore the LORD shall set up (8762) the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies (8802) together (8770) ;

Rezin: king of Damascus during the reigns of kings: Jothan and Ahaz of Judah.
Here not the Assyrians but guerillas forces of factions in his own country. Rezin still ruled in Damascus and is an ally of Pekah King of Israel.

Isaiah 9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour (8799) Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away (8804) , but his hand is stretched out still (8803) .

Syrians: Aram of Syria the nation. The syrian or Aramean people in Aram = fifth son of Shem.
Philistines: The inhabitant of Philistia of Mizraim who immigrated from Caphtor (Crete) to the western seacoast of Canaan.
Guerilla Syrians forces which were not loyal to Rezin are those in vs. 11 Philistine forces were harassing Judah and they may have penetdrated also to a weakened Samara to add one more horror to the already escalating series of calamities that has come on Israel. 2 Kings 17:20 which suggest that many groups were harassing Israel before the final fall. Note the verse: A description of God's wrath.
Syrians from the rising of the sun and Greeks from the going down of the sun.
God's anger: is not turned away: 2 Kings 17:20.
- The intention of God? To reclaim them from all their sins. To take us off our sins and win us to our duty. He proceeds by degrees. To do us good. To bring home the prodical son: 2 Chroniclers 28:22, Deut. 28:58-59
  They suffered as a result of seeking human answers instead of trusting in God and His word.

WHAT IS PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD, NOT ALL PREACHING IS.

Well I once said if I could teach with my head not showing that would be good, because people would hear what I side rather than look at me. Well I did cut off some of my face.

It seems that I am always evaluating ministry. I have from day one of ministry. What kind of ministry does the Lord want our church to have? I have spend my entire life as a servant of the Lord wanting to do the work of the Lord the way the Lord would be most pleased.

From the first position that I had as a Youth pastor/teacher at Dad's church in Roanoke VA, when I really didn't have a clue what I was doing at age 16 to 18, pre- college days and still in High School. But what I did want to do was teach the Word of God.

My Dad Everette Whisnant

Goodness, 1982 at FBC in Altoona, Kansas

Charles at Roanoke Baptist Temple in 1965

I loved teaching Revelation, and Colossians, and Psalms those 27 months that I was the teacher of the youth. We had such a wonderful time in working with teens our own ages. I had just a great time doing so many wonderful things, but the main thing was teaching the Word of God.

I wanted the Word of God to be the primary reason why they came to church and to come to Christ was to learn Christ and His righteousness.

I wanted people to come to our class to learn the Word of God so that they could live a holy life pleasing unto the Lord. Matthew 5:20 I believe. For me getting a person to get saved was not the motive. My motive was to see a person seeking to know the Lord and wanting to known Him and be like Him. And the best way was in my mind to do that was to teach the Word of the Lord. To know Him is to learn about Him.

I didn't want to spend my time trying to get people to be holy by methods other than teaching them the Word of God. I have come to realize the way people are saved and live a holy life is if they are drawn by the Holy Spirit of God. As a preacher, I have realize that if I try to draw them into any kind of living a holy life the change will not last. If the Word of God doesn't draw them then into holiness than the life will not be pleasing to the Lord. I used to believe I was to draw them into change by my methods other than the teaching of the Word of God.

Unless the Lord changes our hearts from the inside out we will not change. Where God is doing the persuading in our life to be like Him, then there will be genuine change and holiness. The best way in my mind is to teach the Word of God, as I have mention in the lesson Wednesday night.

So what is meant by "Teaching or Preaching the Word of God." May I say, not all those who say they "preach the Word of God," are preaching the Word of God.
