“Listen, you leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,
2 you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;
3 who eat my people’s flesh,
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;
who chop them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?”
“As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,
they proclaim ‘peace’
if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
who refuses to feed them.
6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.
The sun will set for the prophets,
and the day will go dark for them.
7 The seers will be ashamed
and the diviners disgraced.
They will all cover their faces
because there is no answer from God.”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.
9 Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;
10 who build Zion with bloodshed,
and Jerusalem with wickedness.
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,
her priests teach for a price,
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.
Yet they look for the Lord’s support and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,
the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.
Micah 4
1599 Geneva Bible
4 1 Of the kingdom of Christ, and felicity of his Church.
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the House of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and people shall flow unto it.
2 Yea, many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, and to the House of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the Law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke mighty nations afar off, and they shall break their swords into mattocks, and their spears into scythes: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn to fight anymore.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine, and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.
Isaiah 9:
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Micah 4:
5 For all people will walk everyone in the name of his god, and we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.
6 At the same day saith the Lord, will I gather her that halteth, and I will gather her that is cast out, and her that I have afflicted.
7 And I will make her that halteth, a remnant, and her that was cast far off, a mighty nation, and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from henceforth even forever.
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter Zion, unto thee shall it come, even [j]the first dominion, and kingdom shall come to the daughter Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out with lamentation? is there no king in thee? is thy counselor perished? for sorrow hath taken thee, as a woman in travail
10 Sorrow and mourn, O daughter Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth of the city, and dwell in the field, and shalt go into Babel, but there shalt thou be delivered: there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, saying, Zion shall be condemned, and our eye shall look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord: they understand not his counsel, for he shall gather them as the sheaves in the barn.
13 Arise and thresh, [m]O daughter Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thine hooves brass, and thou shalt break in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their riches unto the Lord: and their substance unto the ruler of the whole world.
PG here, Since Jesus' Birth, you can look at each country. Most people were farmers,. Especially America up until the turn of the century. 1620 until the 1900s. 95 % of men were farmers, cattlemen, and horsemen, Even then 65% called themselves Farmers. It is on the original title of our property.
All technology even tractors, Iron horses, and railroads brought war, enslaving men. Farming is an honest living.
Psalm 149
1599 Geneva Bible
149 1 An exhortation to the Church to praise the Lord for his victory and conquest, that he giveth his Saints against all man’s power.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Sing ye unto the Lord a new song: let his praise be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, and let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise his Name with the flute: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meek glorious by deliverance.
5 Let the Saints be joyful with glory: let them sing loud upon their beds.
6 Let the high Acts of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
8 To bind their kings in chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 That they may execute upon them the judgment that is written: this honor shall be to all his Saints. Praise ye the Lord.
PG here I just put the turn swords into plows and spears into pruning shears etc last blog. PG Technology is a sin of modern ERA, Age. Revelation's judgment was fulfilled in 70 AD. God created men to be tillers of the soil and drive horses plowing. Turn war instruments into plows and pruning shears. Own land, farm, grow fruit trees, wheat, and crops. Be good stewards of the promised land. Then multiply, and have a lot of children. Jesus living in us reverses the harsh conditions of farming, and tilling the soil. Adam no longer had God's life in him, helping him farm. https://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-final-judgement.html
