Isaiah 34 a Running Commentary, Conclusions.


Conclusions

After you have read the prediction out of the book of the Lord, then observe:

What you have read you will see. 
Not one of these shall fail.
It has been foretold that they will possess their measure from generation to generation.
An everlasting measure.
Both wicked and righteous.
In such a similar fashion none shall be without their mate.
The marks of desolation shall also be fruitful and multiply and replenish the land.


That God's mouth having commanded this direful troop assembly, his spirit shall gather them and it will be accomplished just as the creatures by instinct were gathered to Adam to be named and to Noah to be housed. (Chemistry so over your head Lucy?:-). What God's word has appointed his spirit will effect and bring about, for no word of God shall fail. Preordained since before time sweetheart. The word of God's promise shall likewise be accomplished by his spirit.

That there is an exact order and proportion observed in the accomplishment of this threatening. He has cast the lot for these birds and beast, so that each one shall know his place as readily as if it were marked by the line. Joel 2:7-8 "They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course. They do not jostle each other; each marches straight ahead. They plunge through defenses
    without breaking ranks." Gods army that is...The soothsayers among the heathen foretold of events by the flight of birds, as if the fate of men depended on them. But here? Here we find that the flight of birds is under the direction of the God of Israel: he has cast the lot for them. 

The desolation shall be perpetual. As will the righteous reward. They shall each possess it forever. Jerusalem may be laid in ruins, but the Jerusalem of old recovered itself out of its ruins, until it gives it's place to the gospel Jerusalem, which may be brought low, but shall be rebuilt, and shall continue till it give place to the heavenly Jerusalem. 

Revelation 21:2

"I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."

Revelation 21:10

"And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God."

But the enemies of the church shall be forever desolate, 
shall be punished with an everlasting destruction.

Which is going to lead us right into:

Isaiah 54
The Future Glory of Zion

Finny how that works :-).
