The Ascension of Isaiah Chapter 4
The Ascension of Isaiah Chapter 4
Reading through Ascension of Isaiah as I write commentary has been an incredible, incredible experience so far giving all that's going on the world right now.
Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
We are at verse 2 of this process. As we watch the kings of this world conspire to thwart the gathering of Israel by compelling us to stay home, keep our distance from each other ... can there be a clearer attempt by the devil to thwart a physical gathering?
And while the brethren continue to be one with mammon in their efforts to push mask mandates and other absurdities, I can only imagine what attempts will be made to open our Holy Temples in compliance with the globalist luciferian gadiantons .... and I'm thinking the LORD won't be happy with any such thing.
CHAPTER 4 source
1. AND now Hezekiah and Josab my son, these are the days of the completion of the world.
1. AND now Hezekiah and Josab my son, these are the days of the completion of the world.
I'm writing commentary as I go here - it's probably not a good idea to write an introduction to commentary on a chapter I haven't read for months. Yet here I go being led by the power of the Spirit ... already in verse one I'm sensing a theme that already reinforces this prompting. These are the days of the completion of the world. Indeed!
2. After it is consummated, Beliar the great ruler, the king of this world, will descend, who hath ruled it since it came into being; yea, he will descent from his firmament in the likeness of a man, a lawless king, the slayer of his mother: who himself (even) this king.
My friend who goes by "Robbinius" on ldsfreedomforum.com awakened me to the reality of the Antichrist in recent months. As we have come to know that the original twelve apostles once again walk the Earth in mortality, so may the very man who the Lord called "a devil."
John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
John, one of the inner circle, thought to include this in his witness.
3. Will persecute the plant which the Twelve Apostles of the Beloved have planted. Of the Twelve one will be delivered into his hands.
Wow, this plugs right into the parable of D&C 101 where the Lord gives a new parable of a vineyard where the Master leaves the watchmen to care for the vineyard. Things don't go so well.
4. This ruler in the form of that king will come and there will come and there will come with him all the powers of this world, and they will hearken unto him in all that he desires.
This sounds very much like a counterfeit King and Kingdom. In revelation, there is a "mouth" of the Beast just as the Angel of the Lord is the "mouth" of Jehovah. Counterfeits.
5. And at his word the sun will rise at night and he will make the moon to appear at the sixth hour.
6. And all that he hath desired he will do in the world: he will do and speak like the Beloved and he will say: "I am God and before me there has been none."
This world is in fact about crowning a new God, and the Antichrist moves to thwart God's plan by claiming a crown before the Davidic King claims the crown. Miracles from the mouth of the Beast are also cited in Revelation 13.
7. And all the people in the world will believe in him.
8. And they will sacrifice to him and they will serve him saying: "This is God and beside him there is no other."
9. And they greater number of those who shall have been associated together in order to receive the Beloved, he will turn aside after him.
"Of those who shall have been associated together," sounds like a gathering or a pre gathering. OG 12?
9. And they greater number of those who shall have been associated together in order to receive the Beloved, he will turn aside after him.
"Of those who shall have been associated together," sounds like a gathering or a pre gathering. OG 12?
10. And there will be the power of his miracles in every city and region.
11. And he will set up his image before him in every city.
11. And he will set up his image before him in every city.
There it is. The Mark of the Beast. The image.
12. And he shall bear sway three years and seven months and twenty-seven days.
I hope this timer has already started!
13. And many believers and saints having seen Him for whom they were hoping, who was crucified, Jesus the Lord Christ, [after that I, Isaiah, had seen Him who was crucified and ascended] and those also who were believers in Him - of these few in those days will be left as His servants, while they flee from desert to desert, awaiting the coming of the Beloved.
I can already see this upon us. How long before mask mandates become vaccine mandates? How long before our highly-coincidental drying up money supply becomes a forced digital currency? How long before we are forced to flee from desert to desert?
14. And after (one thousand) three hundred and thirty-two days the Lord will come with His angels and with the armies of the holy ones from the seventh heaven with the glory of the seventh heaven, and He will drag Beliar into Gehenna and also his armies.

Wow - this sounds absolutely incredible. Is this the Lord Jesus Christ appearing with His Angels and Holy Ones or the Son of Man? This sounds more like the latter as it is Abaddon who imprisons the devil. 1,332 days is 3.64 years, so that sounds like the three years and seven months timer. I wish I were more familiar with Daniel as I bet this plugs in with those similar timers and Jacob's trouble. Fleeing from desert to desert certainly reads like Jacob's trouble!
15. And He will give rest of the godly whom He shall find in the body in this world, [and the sun wil be ashamed]:

This is a rather overt reference to MMP and ties right into 1 Enoch 62.
1 Enoch 62:1. And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: 'Open your eyes and lift up your horns if ye are able to recognize the Elect One.'
This is a command from Jehovah to the seven holy ones and to the original Apostles of the Lamb (and perhaps to the 144,000 and beyond) to see if they can recognize the Elect One - the Davidic King - through the thickness of the veil of forgetfulness.
16. And to all who because of (their) faith in Him have execrated Beliar and his kings. But the saints will come with the Lord with their garments which are (now) stored up on high in the seventh heaven: with the Lord they will come, whose spirits are clothed, they will descend and be present in the world, and He will strengthen those, who have been found in the body, together with the saints, in the garments of the saints, and the Lord will minister to those who have kept watch in this world.

In Revelation, the saints are persecuted but are able to overcome the Mark of the Beast and avoid taking it upon themselves. New Jerusalem eventually descends as is also prophesied in Moses 7:62-63.
17. And afterwards they will turn themselves upward in their garments, and their body will be left in the world.

Another confirmation of mortality and then taking upon themselves immortality - perhaps a reference to the first resurrection - that of the just.
18. Then the voice of the Beloved will in wrath rebuke the things of heaven and the things of earth and the things of earth and the mountains and the hills and the cities and the desert and the forests and the angel of the sun and that of the moon, and all things wherein Beliar manifested himself and acted openly in this world, and there will be [a resurrection and] a judgment in their midst in those days, and the Beloved will cause fire to go forth from Him, and it will consume all the godless, and they will be as though they had not been created.

Here we have yet another reference to the voice of the Lord who is the Angel of the Lord who is the Davidic Servant and Holy Ghost. He is becoming both King and Priest (Zechariah 6:13) which is the fullness of the Priesthood. This is the power to command mountains to move and to seal everlasting judgement and raise the body into immortality. The fullness of the Priesthood. I realize I wrote that already, but what can't you do with the fullness of the Priesthood?
We also have yet another witness to the fire breathing aspect of the servant (and servants) in addition to Isaiah 11, Revelation 11, 2 Esdras 13, and 1 Enoch 62:2 (which is the verse that follows 1 Enoch 62:1 ... OK I'll paste it here!)
Enoch 62:2 And the Lord of Spirits seated him on the throne of His glory, And the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon him, And the word of his mouth slays all the sinners. And all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.
Just pause with me for a moment here and consider this: All these apocrypha have been lying around for decades - decades! Modern revelation tells us that the Rod of Jesse (one of the fire breathing references) is a servant in the hands of Christ on whom is laid much power (D&C 113.) How has this remained a mystery!? The Beloved causes fire to go forth from him .. him who? The Rod-dah of Jesse-ah.
...
Moving on ...
19. And the rest of the words of the vision is written in the vision of Babylon.
20. And the rest of the vision regarding the Lord, behold, it is written in three parables according to my words which are written in the book which I publicly prophesied.

I can't help but wonder who is writing here. It seems that "lesser" scribes like to write their names and titles whereas scribes such as John like to leave things rather mysterious as to who authored what.
21. And the descent of the Beloved into Sheol, behold, it is written in the section, where the Lord says: "Behold my Son will understand." And all these things, behold they are written [in the Psalms] in the parables of David, the son of Jesse, and in the Proverbs of Solomon his son, and in the words of Korah, and Ethan the Israelite, and in the words of Asaph, and in the rest of the Psalms also which the angel of the Spirit inspired.

The Spirit of "understanding" is one of the seven spirits bestowed upon the Rod of Jesse in Isaiah 11. I realize this may go without saying for many who are reading this commentary, but consider this is strong confirmation that the Pslams aren't "just" hymns written by David lamenting this or praising that. They are prophesies and praises and laments written about the Davidic Servant who becomes the Davidic King - who is also the Angel of the Spirit. The Psalms are revelations. I get that may go without saying, but many times I have heard the Psalms explained away as songs and laments of a condemned soul. Not so.
22. (Namely) in those which have not the name written, and in the words of my father Amos, and of Hosea the prophet, and of Micah and Joel and Nahum and Jonah and Obadiah and Habakkuk and Haggai and Malachi, and in the words of Joseph the Just and in the words of Daniel.
Well this is interesting! Apparently Isaiah is writing after all ... the son of Amos. Yet was this original writing, restored writing through Peter, or was there an even stronger connection between Peter and Isaiah?
Also, "which have not the name written" - are we speaking of writings that have no authorship or ambiguous authorship? Is this a knowing reference to this very book.
*Counting* How many prophets does Isaiah or Peter reference here at the end? Might this also be a clue?
I'm taking a look at the introduction I wrote before reading this chapter afresh, adding commentary as I went. Would you look at that? A psalm right there in the introduction. What a confirmation.
I would have loved you to keep your personal opinions to yourself , allowing the word of God to do the speaking alone ....that would have been great .
