Isaiah 33:03

Isaiah 33:3

Arrogance Breeds Only Cowardice and Destruction

3 At the noise [qowl] of the tumult [hamown] the people [`am] fled [nadad]; at the lifting up [romemuth] of thyself the nations [gowy] were scattered [naphats].   KJV-Interlinear

3 At the tumultuous noise peoples flee; when you lift yourself up, nations are scattered, ESV

Verse three speaks of God, and then in verse four, Isaiah speaks of God’s people.

The noise of the tumult, is a description of a vast invading army, made up of multiple sources of people.

The Assyrian army back in Isaiah’s day, consisted of people that had been conquered by Assyria, from a vast number of nations and locations, and had been assimilated into the army to serve Assyria.

At the end of human history, during the tribulation, a similar invading army, that will be surrounding Israel and Jerusalem, will be made up of people from an even greater number of countries and locations. Likewise, it will be far more vast than any army of the past.

Seemingly indestructible and unstoppable, this huge world army, will be allowed to advance and destroy with impunity, until such time as God says enough. And Jesus Christ being God, will draw line, so to speak, that this invading army will be able to advance to, but will be stopped in their tracks and not allowed to go any further.

Jesus Christ controls history.

And those believers in Christ, who will be surrounded, and definitely outnumbered and outgunned, will be in the worst possible situation than anybody has ever been in, in all of human history.

And in the midst of the worst of all possible situations, this verse will be a source of comfort, in that those believers in Christ, knowing their doctrine, and in that future time of history, which we call the tribulation, they will know that this advancing, arrogant army, is going to be destroyed.

And it will not be destroyed by their hand, but by the hand of Christ.

And despite all of their resources and power and numbers, they will be sent running, and scrambling, and fleeing in total fear, as Jesus Christ will systematically pick them apart and destroy them, in short order.

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].

If you can dream and not make dreams your master,

If you can think and not let thoughts narrow your views,

If you can meet triumph with disaster equally,

If you can learn and see your full meaning and purpose in life,

Then you can believe in Christ, learn Bible doctrine, and grow far beyond the potential that God has prepared for you.

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

Keep in the Word, Isa. 41:10.
