“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Yes, Isaiah 54:17 is particularly written (given) to the children of Israel, the Jews. God has pledged himself to protect them as a Nation. (And He has kept His Word.)

In fact, our great God has told all of us that Israel will be a Nation perpetually, eternally. Read these two Verses carefully … “Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.”

I am thinking that if Israel is to be a nation as long as the sun shines and the moon glows and the stars twinkle … that is automatically a Promise from Almighty God to protect her from her myriads of enemies.

So again … “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

God bless Israel!

But tonight, as I write this article I am also wondering if at least “in spirit” this Promise might not apply to all God’s children. To all true Believers in Jesus?

These are dim days in which we live. In the West, the so-called United States specifically … righteousness and justice and truth are rapidly becoming things of the past.

Christians, probably soon, are going to face more than ridicule. Likely persecution, maybe even martyrdom as thousands of our brothers and sisters are elsewhere …

… and then our Verse, Isaiah 54:17 will be more pertinent than ever! More precious than ever! More powerful than ever!

Because we too, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (Blood washed, Born-again) are a perpetual, eternal people!

And to that degree we can claim this great Promise too!

Third time …

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Praise the Lord!
