The Word of the Lord Endures Forever

33Lo! The Sovereign LORD of Hosts

Will hew off the tree-crowns with an ax:

The tall ones shall be felled,

The lofty ones cut down:

34The thickets of the forest shall be hacked away with iron,

And the Lebanon trees shall fall in their majesty.

*11       But a shoot shall grow out of the stump of Jesse,

A twig shall sprout from his stock.*

*THIS IS FURTHER PROOF THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME FROM DAVID’S FATHER JESSE:

ISAIAH 11:2:

CONT.:

*2The spirit of the LORD shall alight upon him:

A spirit of wisdom and insight,

A spirit of counsel and valor,

A spirit of devotion and reverence for the LORD.*

*MATTHEW 3:16 & 17:

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

MARK 1:9-11:

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

LUKE 3:21 & 22:

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

LUKE 4:14-21:

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15Instead, you are brought down to Sheol,

To the bottom of the Pit.

16They who behold you stare;

They peer at you closely:

“Is this the man

Who shook the earth,

Who made realms tremble,

17Who made the world like a waste

And wrecked its towns,

Who never released his prisoners to their homes?”

18All the kings of nations

Were laid, every one, in honor

Each in his tomb;

19While you were left lying unburied,

Like loathsome carrion,

Like a trampled corpse

[In] the clothing of slain gashed by the sword

Who sink to the very stones of the Pit.

20You shall not have a burial like them;

Because you destroyed your country,

Murdered your people.

Let the breed of evildoers

Nevermore be named! *

*THESE VERSES ARE TALKING ABOUT SATAN AND HIS FALL:

LUKE 10:17 & 18:

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

REVELATION 12:7-17:

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
