Isaiah 32:19

http://www.dailybiblestudy.org

19 When it shall hail [barad], coming down [yarad] on the forest [ya`ar]; and the city [`iyr] shall be low [shaphel] in a low place [shiphlah].   KJV-Interlinear

19 And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low. ESV

When there is stubborn resistance toward pursuing and seeking out Bible instruction, two things must first happen before blessing is poured out.

The city being brought low, refers to the humiliation that must first be imposed in order to bring the pride of disobedience to a state of humility.

Hail coming down on the forest, refers to God’s judgment. And using this figure of speech, the forest is a place where people do not assemble, but is also a reference to the enemies of God, and therefore the enemies of God’s people, which enemies who are numerous and vast.

When God’s people, who are believers in Christ, are reluctant to seek out and pursue His word, and therefore by default are reluctant to abide by His mandates, then God applies discipline in order to cure their indifferent arrogance.

God’s judgment, which typically is greater than Gods discipline, is redirected away from His people, and directed toward their enemies.

Therefore, God destroys the enemies of truth in order to destroy evil, God disciplines His people in order to destroy arrogance, and only then will blessings flow to God’s people.

Study [by instruction],
to show thyself approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].






These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever.

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.

To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.

The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.

But you have to decide to make that commitment. No one else can study for you. You have to do that yourself.
