Pamphlet 6029 Isaiah KC 6-8
Adam was NOT placed in the Garden
of Eden
just to sit around and watch the
daisies grow and munch on pomegranates!
Isaiah 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
And of course you do know what happens when there is no rain?
You get a drought!
And if the vineyard is full of briers and thorns that
choke the vine, then there will be little to no crop,
as in there will be no fruit produced with which to make
wine.
And so it is written and in fact has already come to pass
in this final generation that there would
"famine and drought" in the land.
If you are not aware of it,
then let the prophet Amos explain
exactly what that famine and drought consists of and then perhaps you'll
understand.
Amos 8:11-12
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
It is written in the first chapter of Ecclesiastes that
"there is no new thing under the sun"
and if you are familiar with what happened in God's garden
in the beginning
when he placed Adam there to "dress it" and to "keep
it",
then there will be no mystery in this Parable of the
Vineyard.
Genesis 2:15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
He was NOT placed there just to sit around and watch the
daisies grow
and munch on pomegranates!
He was to dress the garden and to keep it, as in be an
husbandman
and build an hedge about it to keep it protected from
the infiltration of bad fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil!
dress, `abad, aw-bad', Hebrew 5647; a primitive root; to work (in any sense); by implication to serve, till, (causative) enslave, etc. :- × be, keep in bondage, be bondmen, bond-service, compel, do, dress, ear, execute, + husbandman, keep, labour (-ing man), bring to pass, (cause to, make to) serve (-ing, self), (be, become) servant (-s), do (use) service, till (-er), transgress [from margin], (set a) work, be wrought, worshipper.keep, shamar, shaw-mar', Hebrew 8104; a primitive root; properly to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; generally to protect, attend to, etc. :- beware, be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep (-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch (-man).
The question is: "How protected are you?
Do you have an hedge about you?
Is the wall that protects you and gives you peace and
security built up and founded upon the Word of God,
or is your wall like a Hollywood set put up and painted
by playacting ministers of Christ to look real from the front,
but when you look underneath and behind it you find it
is only a facade
that has been whitewashed to look like the real thing?
That is exactly what the traditions
of men are,
so perhaps taking a real close
look at all the things we have been taught
from our youth up is a really good
idea.
Think about it!
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
