My Note: Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read:Ref. Scripture Isaiah 34:16
Pretty straight forward instruction, I would say!
Scripture: Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
Complete text: Isaiah
34:1 -17 ¶Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people:
let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things
that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon
all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed
them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and
their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall
be melted with their blood.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host
shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling
fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven:
behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse,
to judgment.
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with
blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 And the unicorns shall come down with
them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with
blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance,
and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9 ¶And the streams thereof shall be
turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof
shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day;
the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it
shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall
possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall
stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to
the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces,
nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation
of dragons, and a court for owls.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall
also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to
his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself
a place of rest.
15 There shall the great owl make her nest,
and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures
also be gathered, every one with her mate
.16 Seek
ye out of the book of the LORD, and read:
no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath
commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and
his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever,
from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
The good news is that To Day, if you will turn to Him and seek Him and open the Word to hear His voice instead of stubbornly hardening your heart (mind) to the traditions of men, then He will turn unto you and pour out His blessings upon you.
How "wise" are you? Do you follow after the religious traditions of men or do you follow Christ, the Living Word of God?
"Will you be one who waits for the LORD" and thus be one who is "blessed" or will you follow after the false messiah and the things of this world and wind up spiritually dead as one who is slain by the spiritual sword of the Assyrian? In fact you could ask yourself right now, "How are you doing? Are you a lively tree or a piece of deadwood? Do you produce fruit or are you a spiritual burden to others?"Hosea 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
