"And it shall come to pass in that day

that the remnant of Israel,

and such as have escaped 

of the house of Jacob,

will never again depend on him

who defeated them

but will depend on the Lord,

the Holy One of Israel, in Truth.

The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,

to the Mighty God.

For though your people, O Israel, 

be as the sand of the sea,

A remnant of them will return;

The destruction decreed shall overflow

with Righteousness.

For the Lord God of hosts

will make a determined end

in the midst of all the land."

Isaiah 10

And what is the Purpose of such a display?

For all time, until present to engulf a people

with Promises from the Holy One of Israel

and yet, LOOK!  

The people depend on themselves 

and their neighbors

They announce pilgrimages to go here and there

but where is your heart, people?

I have allowed you to wander 

since the beginning of time

but, for what Purpose and

for what Purpose will I return?

A lesson may be long in learning, but despite the years

and the trials, the scars, the discouragement,

the false starts, the continual traveling in circles,

there will be a day when you believe

When you, My people, believe the Scriptures

Believe the Words and the Promises

You will know on that day

that I am a Faithful Father

and I will deliver My People and set them in their land

I will be their Keeper and no longer do you need

to look to yourselves, nor your neighbor for wisdom,

for strength, for power, for direction

You will rely on the Holy One of Israel

and I will surely Commission you:

"The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,

The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The Spirit of counsel and might,

The Spirit of knowledge and 

of the fear of the Lord.

His delight is in the fear of the Lord,

And he shall not judge by the sight of his eyes,

nor decide by the hearing of his ears;

But with Righteousness he shall judge the poor,

and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

he shall strike the earth with 

the rod of his mouth,

and with the breath of his lips

he shall slay the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins,

and faithfulness the belt of his waist."

Isaiah 11

And in that day, you will be My people

filled with My Spirit

bringing forth My Purpose 

throughout the nations

HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
