The Sinners and The Hypocrites

May 2, 2018-Wednesday-#691-Daily Morning Bible Reading And Meditation-Isaiah 33 KJV

***The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? ***

[1] Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 

[2] O Lord , be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 

[5] The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 

[6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure. 

[14] The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 

[15] He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 

[16] He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. 

[17] Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

[22] For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. 

[24] And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Words to ponder for today: 

The Sinners and The Hypocrites

“V.14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? “

These two manners of people are among them who refuse to believe in their heart that hell exist. 

The sinners: they are confidently arrogant, boaster and conceited; mockingly refute the truth that, as  there is GOD who sees, hears, listen and gives judgement, there is also hell originally created for the eternal punishment of angels who could not die, became also the destiny of them who are corrupted by the lies and works of the devil. 

The hypocrites: they are these people whose outward appearance are as meek as a lamb, doing goodly services to others, professing within themselves that they are also a believers of Christ, but inside of them are a raging wolf ready to devour the simple: disregarded GOD’s direction and denied to accept the truth about GOD and His words.

Woe unto them for after they spoiled the innocents, and treacherously dealt with the meek, the fiery judgment  is prepared for them. Their souls shall surely be casted in that everlasting burnings which is the fire of hell, if they would not repent from their sinfulness and hypocrisy. 

But and if, they will come to realize their sinful, hopeless condition, repent from their sins, reject their wrong doings, even their being self- opinionated, self- righteous and self reliant, but wholeheartedly receive that gift of salvation GOD has given Only through the Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, then they shall be redeemed to become among the righteous whose names are recorded and written in the book of life. 

There, The LORD JESUS CHRIST shall be their Judge, the Law-giver and King who gave Himself to save all who believe Him.

There, they shall be secured, they shall be bountifully feed, they shall never thirst, but drink the most pleasant and life-giving water. 

Turn to GOD, The Holy One  of Israel, you sinners and hypocrites. Take His words as the Only Truth; for it is written for us to know and understand the ways, the will and the works of GOD, who alone is our salvation. 

“[2] O Lord , be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.”

Acts 4:10-12 KJV

[10] Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 

[11] This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 

[12] Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Ponder, Pray,  and  Proclaim Only GOD’s Name; JESUS CHRIST, The Savior, Redeemer and King! 

Good morning! 

Isaiah 33:1-24 KJV

[1] Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. [2] O Lord , be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. [3] At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. [4] And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. [5] The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. [6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure. [7] Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. [8] The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. [9] The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits . [10] Now will I rise, saith the Lord ; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. [11] Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. [12] And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. [13] Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. [14] The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? [15] He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; [16] He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. [17] Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. [18] Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? [19] Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand. [20] Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. [21] But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. [22] For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. [23] Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. [24] And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
