sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. P The promise of Wrath when CHRIST returns (Fulfilled - Rev 19:11-21) 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, 5 until the 6 INDIGNATION be overpast. P 21 5 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. P Isaiah 27 The promise of Wrath when CHRIST returns (Fulfilled - Rev 19:11-21) (Note - This portion of Isaiah’s prophecy took place in the 16th year of King Hezekiah’s reign) Date Written - c. 711 BC/AM 3289 1 In that 1 DAY the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish 7 leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that 8 crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. P The promise of Israel’s restoration (Fulfilled - Rev 20:4) 2 9 In that day sing ye unto her, A 10 vineyard of red wine. P 3 9 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. P 4 9 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. P 5 9 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may 11 make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. P 6 9 He shall cause them that come of

seek thee early: for when 1 thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. P 10 2 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. 11 LORD, when 1 thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. P 12 LORD, 1 thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. P 13 O LORD our God, 3 other lords besides thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 15 1 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. P 16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. 18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

body for OT saints (Fulfilled - Rev 20:4)

26:19 Sadly, there are some religious movements (like the Apostolic Church - I Sam 28:15 ) that have tried to use this Scripture ( Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust ) and others like it (Eccl 9:5, Job 19:25-27 and Dan 12:2) to prove that the dead are not waiting around in Heaven and/or Hell for the resurrection, but are asleep and unconscious in the grave, and will only be awakened at the resurrection ( if they’ve earned Heaven). However, according to the clear teaching of Scripture (Mk 12:18-27), people who die (like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) are still alive… either in Heaven or Hell. They are not “soul sleeping” ( Isa 14: 4- 9 -10, Ezk 32: 17- 21 -32, Lk 23:39-43, II Cor 5:8, Mt 17:1-3, II Cor 12:1-3, Rev 12:7-10 & 14:1-3 & 15:1-3, Lk 16:19-31 and Rev 19:20 - 20:10). 27:1 a Called “Isaiah’s Little Apocalypse,” chapters 24-27 look beyond the immediate judgment of the surrounding nations to the future time of universal judgment (vs 1), which is to be followed by the universal blessing of the coming Millennial Kingdom (vs. 2-6,12-13). Here in verse 1 Isaiah describes for us the threefold result of the Second Coming of CHRIST . The wrath of His return will hurt ( sore – Rev 6:5 – 16:1-10 – 18:24, Jere 30:5-6 and Dan 12:1); it will be overwhelming ( great – Jere 30:7 and Dan 12:1); it will be swift and complete ( strong – Rev 19:1-2,11-21, Jere 30:8 and Dan 12:1,11-12). 27:1 b Leviathan was a mythical creature that depicted the enemy of God. It was a monster (crooked serpent; dragon; Satan) whom Jehovah would defeat (Rev 20:1-2,10).
