Isaiah 27-28
Chapter 27: Israel Shall Fill the Earth
Leviathan will be
defeated. Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with
fruit. In the Kingdom of the Lord, the city of man lies desolate. The Lord will
be worshipped at the holy mount in Jerusalem.
Chapter 28: Revelation
The drunkards of
Ephraim will be trampled underfoot. The beauty of the Lord will replace the
faded beauty of Ephraim. Judah also suffers from the corruption of drunkenness.
“…they also have erred through
wine, and through strong drink…” (Isaiah 28:7) This goes to show that
the modern day revelations in the LDS church of the "Word of Wisdom” which
says that we must not consume alcohol among other things is correct. Alcohol
only clouds your judgement and the Bible does condemn you from drinking.
The reply of the drunkards is
imagined – this message is fit only for those just weaned from milk. Scornful
men have made a covenant with death. God will lay in Zion a stone for a
foundation. But before the Lord gives that foundation and completes his task,
He will give us Revelation and that Revelation will come; “…precept upon precept; line up
line… here a little and there a little…” (Isaiah 28:10) This proves
that the Bible is not the only word of God… because God always has and always
will reveal new things… therefore continuing revelation through authorized
servants is a must! The bed is too short to stretch out on, and the covering so
narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it. The timing of a farmer is compared
to the timing of the Lord.
