7:1And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that (red radius line) Rezin the king of Syria, and (red radius line) Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind (Scorpio's Palm Tree bent in the wind).

3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub (A Remnant Shall Return) thy son, at the end of the (red radius line) conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two (Scorpio & Serpens) tails of these (Milky Way) smoking (Sun) firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah (Pekah).

5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah (Pekah), have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a (red radius lines) breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people (677 B.C.).

9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son (Pekah). If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.

13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin (Virgo) shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God With Us).

15 Butter (yellow sun bowl in Virgo) and honey (golden Sun bowl in Ophiuchus) shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings (Pekah & Rezin. Therefore this was one of Isaiah's children born just before 677 B.C. -- perhaps just 65 days before the captivity).

17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. (Ahaz sent gifts to Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, to hire him to deliver Judah from Israel and Syria -- 2 Ki. 16:5-9)

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow (Taurus), and two sheep (Aries);

22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give (Milky Way stream since large grazing areas) he shall eat butter (yellow sun in Virgo): for butter and honey (gold sun in Ophiuchus) shall every one eat that is left in the land.

23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither (Sagittarius); because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

25 And on all hills (Milky Way hump) that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen (Taurus), and for the treading of lesser cattle.

8:1 Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll (Milky Way scroll), and write in it with a (red radius line) man's pen concerning Maher-shalalhashbaz (Haste the booty, Haste the Spoil).

2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

3 And I went unto the prophetess (a virgin); and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz (Haste the Booty, Haste the Spoil).

4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria (677 B.C.).

5 The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,

6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son (Pekah);

7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel (God With Us).

9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us (Immanuel).

11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

14 And he shall be for a (red radius lines) sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence (sun in Ophiuchus is like a stone) to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken (677 B.C.).

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me (Immanuel, Shear-jashub, and Maher-shalal-hashbaz) are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness (black Zodiac).

9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.( It will not be so slight an affliction as that which befell these parts of the country by Pul, 2 Kings 15:19; nor as that which succeeded it, by Tiglath-pileser, 2 Kings 15:29; which was a heavier stroke than the former; but this shall be far heavier than either of them).

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. (“Zebulun, Naphtali, and Manasseh, that is, the country of Galilee, all around the sea of Genesareth, were the parts that principally suffered in the Assyrian invasion under Tiglath-pileser; and they were the first that enjoyed the blessing of Christ’s preaching the gospel, and exhibiting his miraculous works among them. The very region where the Assyrian army brought devastation, darkness and death would be the first to rejoice in the light of our Lord's preaching -- Matt. 4:15-16)

3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy (Thou hast advanced the nation and hast heightened her joy).

4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the (red radius line) staff of his shoulder, the (red radius line) rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. (The yokes which they had been under were those of Satan, sin, and death, the spiritual enemies of God’s people. But their spiritual deliverance was received through Christ's death for our sins, giving us spiritual deliverance and salvation).

5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in (red radius line) blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire (second death for unrepentant).

6 For unto us a child is born (Virgo pregnant), unto us a son is given (Ophiuchus): and the government (Hercules) shall be upon his shoulder (Ophiuchus): and his name shall be called Wonderful (with respect to his birth, life, doctrine, miracles; his love and sufferings; his death, resurrection, and ascension; his humiliation and exaltation; his cross and crown; his grace and glory). Counsellor (talks to Hercules), 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.

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

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

13 For the people (ten-tribed Israel) turneth not unto him that (red radius line) smiteth them (Ophiuchus stepping on ten-limbed Scorpio), neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.

14 Therefore the Lord will (red radius line) cut off from Israel (Scorpio's) head and tail, (the Palm Tree's) branch and rush, in one day.

15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head (of Scorpio); and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail (of Scorpio).

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly (They are Scorpions). For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burneth as the fire (sun in Scorpio): it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke (Milky Way smoke).

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened (black Zodiac), and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm (Virgo's "arm" clearly refers to her unborn child which is eaten in the famine).

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.



10:1 Woe unto them that (red radius line) decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless

Outlawing gleanings, forgotten sheaves, third tithe, and corners of the field -- all the right of the poor. "No trespassing" signs instead.

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

Blitzkrieg since you don't allow the poor on your property to glean

4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Colditz Prison. Execution.

Is this referring to the Nazi salute -- a "hand ... stretched out"?

5 O Assyrian, the (red radius line) rod of mine anger, and the (red radius line) staff in their hand is mine indignation.

6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets (Ophiuchus treads down Scorpio).

Was Germany sent against hypocritical nations in World War Two? Was God using Germany to punish Europe for straying from the Bible? This chapter may be saying that very thing.

7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

"It's just Lebensraum: Living Space for the German Race."

8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

The "master race" arrogance?

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

Is not London as Oslo? Is not Washington D.C. as Paris?

10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

Krystalnacht: The night of November 9, 1938, on which the Nazis coordinated an attack on Jewish people and their property in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland.

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks

The "master race" arrogance; praying to Hitler; rejecting the Bible.

Martin Niemoller was a leading Protestant voice against Nazism. He was incarcerated at Dachau from 1941 until liberation in 1945. This speaks volumes regarding how Hitler viewed Protestantism.

13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

The German invasion of Poland took 36 days: 1 Sept. to 6 October 1939. The invasion of Norway took 62 days: 9 April to 10 June 1940. The German invasion of France took 36 days: 10 May to 14 June 1940. Britain was the first failure for Germany. Then came Russia.

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one (red radius line) gathereth eggs that are left (a yellow one and a gold one), have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped (Corvus is silent beside his round black Zodiac nest).

15 Shall the (red radius line) axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the (red radius line) saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the (red radius line) rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the (red radius line) staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

Was Germany able to conquer all Europe through her own wisdom and strength? Or was God using Germany to punish hypocritical nations? Germany sucessfully invaded 31 countries in World War Two. All could easily be classified as "hypocritical" -- including Germany and Austria. But did God use Germany to "spank" other nations nonetheless? On the Axis side, there were about 7 million Germans and Austrians dead by the end of the war. On the Allied side, the USSR lost 26 million, Poland lost 5 million, France lost 600,000, United Kingdom lost 450,000, United States lost 419,400, etcetera. People ask, "Why didn't Germany reap what it sowed?" Perhaps Germany was used by God to "spank" the nations of Europe for their injustices. This is a real possibility -- and should not be rejected without reason. But notice that the German people paid a very high price. Nazi Germany was punished also.

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

Allied bombing

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that (red radius line) smote them (Ophiuchus stepped on Scorpio); but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a (red radius line) rod, and shall lift up his (red radius line) staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

1945

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his (red radius line) rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
