Isa 10: 1, 2, 5, 6, 12,13
Excerpt:…This point is clarified by coded prophecy of ancient Assyria. Due to time limits, I refer you to study 48.2. It proves Ancient Assyria to be a metaphor or type of America. Our narrow focus today is to show that they, America, by double entendre, was made His tool of world discipline. I read: “Isa 10: 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!” … Before proceeding, this by code word addresses America, she who denied the civil rights of Jerusalem. It is she who has customized her laws to deny their voting rights, their congressional-districting rights, etc, to oppress the fatherless. Why is the term, “fatherless” used as a code word for the sons of America’s former slaves? Because, during the generations of America’s commercialized mass production of slaves, the father-son cohesion was broken, similarly also with the mothers making them to be widows. The Text of symbolic Assyria continues… “ Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees … to take away the right from the poor of my people … and that they may rob the fatherless! … 5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few …12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent:” —Isa 10: 1, 2, 5, 6, 12,13. Assyria, though she was oblivious to the Lord’s purpose in her, was assigned by Christ to exact punishment on evil governments, but especially on God’s people, Jerusalem. It was to forge them in the fires of affliction. Their sentence ends today, the day when the Lord finishes His whole work on two specific groups, Zion and Jerusalem…
