This week Sally, a young friend called to say the Lord had been showing her the number 757 several times, and finally she asked Him, what is going on Lord, why do I keep seeing that number ? And He took her to that page in her bible, which was ISAIAH 34. She had been getting this a month ago, and didn’t understand why.
Isaiah 34 NKJV Judgment on the Nations
Come near, you nations, to hear; And heed, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, The world and all things that come forth from it. 2 For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, And His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter. 3 Also their slain shall be thrown out; Their stench shall rise from their corpses, And the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4 All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.
[ Rev 6:13-14 AMP And the stars of the sky dropped to the earth like a fig tree
shedding its unripe fruit out of season when shaken by a strong wind. [Isa 34:4.] 14
And the sky rolled up like a scroll and vanished, and every mountain and island was dislodged from its place. ]
5 "For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
[ Obad 8 AMP Will not I in that day, says the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom
and [men of] understanding out of Mount Esau [Idumea, a mountainous region]?
In the amplified it says - Edom [the descendants of Esau], ]
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7 The wild oxen shall come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust saturated with fatness."
8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, the year of recompense for the cause of Zion. 9 Its streams shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night or day ;Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
[ Rev 19:3 AMP And again they shouted, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! The smoke of her
[burning] shall continue to ascend forever and ever (through the eternities of the
eternities). ]
11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it, also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness. 12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in its palaces, Nettles and brambles in its fortresses;
It shall be a habitation of jackals, A courtyard for ostriches. 14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the jackals, And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion;
Also the night creature shall rest there, And find for herself a place of rest.
15 There the arrow snake shall make her nest and lay eggs and hatch, and gather them under her shadow; There also shall the hawks be gathered, Every one with her mate.
16 'Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them. 17 He has cast the lot for them, And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation they shall
dwell in it."
“Sons and daughters, I also have a washing to do in the world. So keep your eyes upon ME, as you see everything written unfold before your eyes ! Do not be afraid of the terror that stalks at night or the pestilence at noonday, for I AM WITH YOU. I am your exceedingly great Reward ! You will not ever be alone. ARISE from all the fear and anxiety that the enemy has tried to keep you in, and WORSHIP ME in the beauty of holiness, offer a sacrifice of praise if you have nothing else. THANK ME, and PRAISE ME even for all the pain and lack, whatever you lack, I can make up for. Whatever pain or affliction you have, I WILL HEAL. Have you not heard…
Isa 33:20-24 NKJV
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 But there the majestic LORD will be for us A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no galley with oars will sail, Nor majestic ships pass by 22 (For the LORD is our Judge, The LORD is our Lawgiver, The LORD is our King; He will save us);
23 Your tackle is loosed, They could not strengthen their mast, They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder is divided; The lame take the prey. 24 And the inhabitant will not say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
I AM the ultimate HEALER of your soul ! There is nothing that I cannot do. There is nothing I WILL not do for My bride. Timing beloveds is everything. I am removing all the dross, all the doubts, all the competition, all the bitterness, and complaining, that you will walk in My perfect will. Do not be angry with Me beloveds for correcting you. You will be more than joyful at what I do in the coming days, and you will forget all your hardship. Remember how Jeremiah was alone and afflicted !
Lam 3:5-13 NIV
5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship . 6 He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead. 7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains. 8 Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer. 9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked. 10 Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding, 11 he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help. 12 He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows. 13 He pierced my heart gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD."
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. 21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." 25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Some of you have felt abandoned and washed up, and pushed aside. But it is not I Who have pushed you out. It is not I who have forgotten you. I have never forgotten you. You are inscribed on the palm of My hand. You are remembered. You are prayed over hour to hour. You are watched and guarded over carefully, though you may feel that isn’t so. I have fashioned you and I have taught you through all the warfare, and built courage and forebearance, that you may teach it to those who are going to need it GREATLY in the days ahead. I hear Your sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise, and worship. Even when you are too weak to dance, or too discouraged to muster a raised hand. I KNOW all the pain and sorrow you have been through, and I am the MASTERBUILDER. I AM the GREAT I AM. I will RESTORE. For I have called you a RESTORER of streets to dwell in. I have called you to give beauty for ashes, to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.
I call you to MY CHEST right now, to SEEK MY FACE NOW !
SEEK ME NOW in the quiet place.
IT IS NOT WASTED TIME TO BE ALONE AND QUIET WITH ME !
IT IS VITAL NOW.
COME ! COME away with Me, and I will show you great and marvelous things you do not know. I will show you things you never dreamed of. I will speak, but you must come. STOP being busy, and come with me in the time you do have, putting away TV, and all that distracts you, as much as you can. Keep ME on your mind. Keep My WORD on your mind. Ask of ME, and I will show you all you need to know. The doors WILL open if you will but TRUST ME. Be alert, be on guard, for the enemy seeks to destroy whom He can. Plead the blood over those you love. Seek ME while I may be found. For the days are at hand when men will try to keep you from ME, and when they will persecute anyone who really KNOWS Me. Hide My WORD in your hearts.
You will see startling changes in the weeks and days ahead. Do not be dismayed, for I am FOR you, and I will KEEP you in the palm of My hand. Come away from the contamination of the world, and that which is of the world in the harlot church. Come away from the moneychangers and merchants in My church, from the greedy, and avaricious, from the perversion and Nicolaitan spirits. Come out of her beloveds, and seek MY FACE. Keep in fellowship with other true believers, but come out of the harlot, and do not share in her iniquities.
Rev 17:16 NKJV And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate
the harlot , make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
Know that My judgments are in the earth NOW, and people WILL learn
righteousness ! There will be judgment in many and various places, but I AM JUST in all My judgments, for I desire that all would come to ME, and repent of their wickedness and be saved. I do not delight in judgments. But I can no longer stand by for all the atrocities that come up to my ears every hour, and moment of the day, of starving children, and violence that exceeds even what Noah saw ! I will not hold back My judgments any longer for I have a contention with the nations. Know that I love mankind, and at the same time I bring judgment, I will render GREAT MERCY for anyone who comes to ME ! Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL be saved!"
