Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem- (Isaiah 3:1- 12)

For behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water; The mighty man and the man of war, The judge and the prophet, And the diviner and the elder; The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the skillful artisan, And the expert enchanter. 

“I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed, every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder and the base toward the honorable.” 

When a man takes hold of his brother In the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing; you be our ruler and let these ruins be under your power,” in that day he will protest saying, “I cannot cure your ills for in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people.” 

For Jerusalem stumbled and Judah is fallen, because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of His glory. The look on their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. 

“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”

“Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him.”

“As for My people, children are their oppressors and women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err and destroy the way of your paths.”

Prophecy: The Stock & The Store

This passage of scripture was given by the Lord after He said He will take away bread and the luxury of readily available food from the U.S.A., a word I’ve delivered several times over the past few years. God says food scarcity and financial hardship will be part of the American landscape and it will be one of the means by which He crushes American pride and hard-heartedness. Please see one of the earlier prophecies below that speaks about the times to come. God bless you.
