Isaiah 25:5-12 NKJV
You will reduce the noise of aliens, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones will be diminished.

Terrible ones:   OT:6184 Jyr!u* `ariyts (aw-reets'); from OT:6206; fearful, i.e. powerful or tyrannical:  KJV - mighty, oppressor, in great power, strong, terrible, violent.

25:6 And in this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of well-refined wines on the lees.

Full of Marrow:     OT:4229 machah (maw-khaw'); a primitive root; properly, to stroke or rub; by implication, to erase; also to smooth (as if with oil), i.e. grease or make fat; also to touch, i.e. reach to:  KJV - abolish, blot out, destroy, full of marrow, put out, reach unto, X utterly, wipe (away, out).
Wine on the lees:    OT:8105  shemer (sheh'-mer); from OT:8104; something preserved, i.e. the settlings (plural only) of wine:  KJV - dregs, (wines on the) lees.

Veil  OT:4541  maccekah (mas-say-kaw'); from OT:5258; properly, a pouring over, i.e. fusion of metal (especially a cast image); by implication, a libation, i.e. league; concretely a coverlet (as if poured out):   KJV - covering, molten (image), vail.

25:8 He will swallow up death forever
He will swallow up  OT:1104  bala` (baw-lah'); a primitive root; to make away with (specifically by swallowing); generally, to destroy:  KJV - cover, destroy, devour, eat up, be at end, spend up, swallow down (up).

And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.

25:9 And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

He will save us: OT:3467 yasha` (yaw-shah'); a primitive root; properly, to be open, wide or free, i.e. (by implication) to be safe; causatively, to free or succor: KJV - X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory.

25:10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,

And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, as straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
What does Moab represent ?   OT:4124  Mow'ab (mo-awb); from a prolonged form of the prepositional prefix mand OT:1; from (her [the mother's]) father; Moab, an incestuous son of Lot; also his territory and descendants:  KJV - Moab. [ Thus all idolators, perversion – all who twist the truth? ]

25:11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst as a swimmer reaches out to swim, and He will bring down their pride together with the trickery of their hands.

Trickery: says SPOILS from the interlinear Hebrew…the spoils of their hands, and under that it says ambuscades which means to attack suddenly and without warning from a concealed place; ambush. [French embuscade (from Old French embuschier, to ambush) and Old Italian imboscata (from feminine past participle of imboscare, to ambush), both from Frankish *boscu, bush, woods.]  He will bring down their ambushes !!!

12 The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, down to the dust.

In other words, He will destroy anything that lifts itself up above HIM. Praise the Lord !  Building the N.W.O. is like rebuilding Babel !  What did He do at Babel?  We must believe in GOD’s power more than the enemy’s !

“ Am I a just God ?  Am I not righteous and understanding ?  Am I not the Lord of Lords, and the Mighty One of Israel ?  Am I not your Shield and Buckler? Are we mere aberrations of your imagination or are we REAL ?
[Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit].
Surely My arm is NOT TOO SHORT to strengthen! Surely I have a better plan than the plan of the enemy!  Surely My people who are called by My name should have more trust in ME, than in anything in this earth!  I AM ABLE to upset their apple cart !  I AM ABLE to do all that is necessary and to stand beside you in this battle.  KNOW that I will fight along side My BRIDE in this battle !  I will be WITH YOU. I AM EMMANUEL!  I will not forsake you in any way.

I have a feast on the lees awaiting you.  I want you to spend time with ME, in intimacy with Me, in order to PREPARE for what is coming.  Do not take this lightly !  Multiply your time with ME, and I will multiply My time with you ! Speak to ME more than all the worldly activities and giving in to fear, and you will HEAR from Me more.  I want to talk to you. I want to let you know what to do and where to be, and where to go.  Do NOT let your heart be troubled. Do not grow weary in doing good.  But also, DO NOT STRIVE ! If you come to ME, I will show you a lighter yoke, than what many of you are bearing at this time.  Many of you are so caught up in the cares of this world, and can you remember how I said to Nicodemus, If I tell you of earthly things and you do not believe, how can I tell you of heavenly things ?

Do you understand that I want to give you MORE than just what you need for this world ?  I want to show you HEAVENLY THINGS !  I want to grant you to understand mysteries and the secret things I hold for those who are willing to listen to ME.  But to listen you must QUIET yourselves !

I told you in quietness and REST I would restore you, and then it says, but you would not !!!  I am finding it so today !  Many will not rest from the labors of this world.  Too many Martha’s and not enough Mary’s !  Come to ME I said, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.  What good will it do you to worry ? What will that help ? Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, yet the Son of Man had no place to lay His head I said.  Yet you worry about so many NON ETERNAL things !  Worry not!  Fret not !  I have you in the palm of My hand !
I will not leave you nor forsake you. 

The whole world is suffering My western Bride, not just you !  You have it better than most Christians all over the world, and yet in this final hour you are worried about THINGS more than your own soul or that of the lost !  WAKE UP OH SLEEPER and rise from the dead and I will SHINE upon you !  Wake up from your condition of skepticism at what I’m showing My true prophets. For SUDDENLY the heaviness of this hour will come upon you when you least expect it, and who will have their house full of oil ?  Who will have prepared by BEING with ME?

I have prepared for you a fanciful FEAST !  I am not leaving you without what you need to get through these times till I descend from the heavens.
I have a good plan for My church.  Prepare yourselves by coming away with ME, and spending time resting with ME…quiet with ME, so that you can hear the still small voice !

I guarantee that when I do what I’m going to do in you, that many in your families who have doubted and scoffed will come into the Kingdom in a moment of time !  Do not fret about them, LOVE THEM into repentance. Speak the WORD over your family and friends, your neighbors and workmates !  DECLARE a thing and it will be established because I am increasing authority and wisdom, understanding and love , joy and peace, as you REST in ME…as you worship ME.

I am the ANSWER for all your concerns.  I will not fail you as others have !
I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind !  STOP listening to the voice of the Accuser !  Stop giving in to the thoughts he puts in your minds to try and make you feel disqualified !  REJOICE and again I say REJOICE when men persecute you and say all manner of evil against you, for so they did to the prophets of old.  KNOW that I LOVE YOU, and that nothing can take that love away.  When I do My marvelous work, the church will have a NEW HEART, for Me and for one another.  The tsunami of MY LOVE is at hand. 

Continue to hide the word away in your hearts, and to worship in the spirit of HOLINESS!  I inhabit the praises of My people because I LOVE YOU !”

Hosea 2
Say to your brethren, 'My people,' And to your sisters, 'Mercy is shown.'

God's Unfaithful People
2 "Bring charges against your mother, bring charges; for she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!  Let her put away her harlotries from her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; 3 Lest I strip her naked and expose her, as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

4 "I will not have mercy on her children, for they are the children of harlotry. 5 For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.'

6 "Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and wall her in, So that she cannot find her paths. 7 She will chase her lovers, But not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.' 8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold — Which they prepared for Baal.
9 "Therefore I will return and take away My grain in its time and My new wine in its season, and will take back My wool and My linen, Given to cover her nakedness. 10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from My hand. 11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, Her feast days, Her New Moons, Her Sabbaths — All her appointed feasts.

12 "And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me.  'So I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. 13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals to which she burned incense. She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry, and went after her lovers; But Me she forgot," says the Lord.

God's Mercy on His People  14 'Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her. 15 I will give her her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

16 "And it shall be, in that day, "Says the Lord, "That you will call Me' My Husband,' And no longer call Me' My Master,'  17 For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, and they shall be remembered by their name no more. 18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, with the birds of the air, and with the creeping things of the ground.  Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth, To make them lie down safely.
19 "I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; 20 I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord.  21 "It shall come to pass in that day that I will answer," says the Lord;  "I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth. 22 The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil;  They shall answer Jezreel.  23 Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, 'You are My people!' and they shall say, 'You are my God!'"
