38)That the saying of Isaiah
the prophet might be
fulfilled, which he spake,
LORD, who hath believed our
report? And to whom hath
the arm of the LORD been
revealed?
39)Therefore they could not
believe, because that Isaiah
said again
40)He hath blinded their
eyes, and hardened their
heart; that they should not
see with their eyes, nor
understand with their heart,
and be converted, and I shall
heal them

UNBELIEF REJECT THE ARMS
AND SALVATION OF THE
LORD
The religionist reject the arm
of the LORD, the arms of the
LORD means the strength of
GOD, his power to save and
to deliver and give life, the
arm that saves and give life
to JESUS CHRIST
Ø Who knows it?
Ø Who has experienced
it
Ø To whom has it been
revealed?
Ø Who has humbled
himself so that GOD
could reveal it?
Ø Who has diligently
sought enough so
that GOD could
reveal it?
JUDGMENT OF UNBELIEF
GOD blind and hardens
heart of those that reject
the truth JESUS CHRIST
Ø -GOD blind the eyes
of unbeliever
Ø -GOD hardens the
heart
Ø -GOD condemn the
unbeliever to be lost
Ø -GOD condemn the
unbeliever to be
unhealed
Ø -GOD never reveals
his glory to the
unbeliever
*A man is lost when he has
nothing to do with GOD and
be lost
*These mean that a person
who rejects GOD’s son
choose to be blind and to
harden his heart, therefore
he is given to punishment.

26)Saying go unto the
people, and say, hearing ye
shall hear and shall not
understand, and seeing ye
shall see, and not perceive

people is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eye have they
closed lest they should see
with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and
understand with their heart

i should heal them

THE UNBELIEVER REJECTION
OF THE GOSPLE
The unbeliever rejection of
the gospel is deliberate, he
see and hears, yet he refuse
to really open his eyes and
ears and refuse to
understand
*But why the heart of the
unbeliever has grown
fat(overweight) lustful, fleshy
and canal
He is more concern with the
things of the world, focus on
material and temporal things,
and become hardened
against divine and spiritual
things
*Lest they understand with
their heart, take the truth of
the gospel so be turn from
darkness, ignorance and
unbelief to light and the true
knowledge of GOD and
should be converted and be
saved.

impenitent heart treasurest
up unto thyself wrath
against the day of wrath and
revelation of the righteous
judgment of GOD
6)Who will render to every
man according to his deed
7)To them who by patient
continuance in well doing
seek for glory and honor and
immortality, eternal life.

A HARD HEART TREASURED
WRATH: to treasure up, or
lay up treasure, and become
bolder in sin, hoarding,

the author of their
destruction.

hear, yet he refuses to really
open his eyes and hears,
why? the unbeliever heart is
hardened, living after
material things and worldly
standards, fleshy focus.

7)Be patient therefore,
brethren, unto the coming of
the LORD, behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the
precious fruit of the earth,
and hath long patience for it,
until he receives the early
and latter rain
8)Be ye also patient; stablish
your hearts; for the coming
of the LORD draweth nigh
|

YOUR HEART FOR THE

must set our heart upon the
coming of the LORD, we must
focus and set our hearts
upon his return
Believer must not complain,

ISAIAH 29:13

13)Wherefore the LORD said
Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their
mount, and with their lips do
honor me, but have removed
their heart far from me, and
their fear toward me is
taught by the precept of men
|
THE OUTWARD WORSHIP
The act of worship; with
their month- speaking to in
prayer and praise, with their
lips, with mere outward
devotion and bodily worship
but have move their heart far
from me- Do not render me
the love and gratitude and
obedience, which GOD
requires.
*There worship GOD not
according to such manner as
GOD prescribe, but according
to man invention, preferring
the devices and tradition of
their false teaching, man
doctrine, their religion is
merely of human, and not of
divine origin, which is full of
corrupt nature and not of
renewed grace.
they do not pay me that love,
and fear, and obedience
which GOD requires and
prefers
*But have moved their
hearts- have withheld the
affections of their hearts
towards GOD, in vain do they
worship GOD teaching for
doctrines and
commandments of men.

ye indeed, but perceive not

people fat, and make their
ears heavy, and shut their
eyes, and hear with their
heart, and convert, and be
healed
|
GO AND TELL THIS PEOPLE
The people have so long
heard my words, and seen
my works and have hardened
their heart
MAKE THE HEART OF THE
PEOPLE FAT-stupid,
senseless and blindness of
mind, gross, heavy, dull,
stupid in their gross and
corrupt hearts, giving them
up the the art of Satan
* Lest they see with their
eyes, and hear from their
hear, and understand with
their heart; through the truth
of the Gospel, and
commandments and convert;
or turn themselves to
repentance.

JEREMIAH 5:21
|
21)Hear now this, O foolish
people, and without
understanding; which have
eyes and see not; which have
ears, and hear not
|
HEAR NOW THIS, O
FOOLISH- ignorant and
irresponsible, as blind
without understanding
without heart, which have
eye and cannot see, wilfully
blind and obstinately deaf,
who will neither see or hear
the word or the work of GOD

JEREMIAH 6:10

10)To whom shall I speak,
and give warning, that they
may hear? Behold, their ear
is uncircumcised, and they
cannot hearken; behold, the
word of the LORD is unto
them a reproach; they have
no delight in it
|
TO WHOM SHALL I SPEAK
AND GIVE WARNING
I cannot find out any that
will so much as give me
patient hearing, behold, their
ear is signifying rejection of
divine instruction as
uncircumcised Heart, their
mind is unbelieving and
canal, and not dispose to
hearken to the voice of GOD
*Behold the word of the
LORD is unto them a
reproach; they blaspheme it
and have no delight in it, is
as a novel and false doctrine.

wise, and the law of the
LORD is with us? Lo, certainly
in vain made he it the pen of
the scribes is in vain

ashamed, they are dismayed
and taken; lo they have
rejected the word of the
LORD; and what wisdom is in
them?
10)There will I give their
wives unto others, and their
fields to them that shall
inherit them; for every one
from the least even unto the
greatest is given to
covetousness from the pro
even unto the priest every
one dealeth falsely
|
IN VAIN MADE HE THE PEN
OF THE SCRIBE:
He certainly in vain made
the law of GOD in vain, the
wise men reject the word of
GOD, they trusted in their
false doctrines, there are no
fear of GOD or respect to the
word of GOD
EVERYONE IS GIVEN TO
COVETOUSNESS
For everyone from the least
even to the pastors/priest
everyone dealt falsely;
covetousness which the
world number one sin.
*So greedy after their own
private gain, that they took
no care of equity or justice, in
which word is comprised all
their fraudulent dealings one
among another
*The pretenders to wisdom
were the priest and false
prophets, they flattered
people in sin, and in to
destruction thus encouraging
each other to committing
evil.

uncircumcised
26)Egypt, and Judah of
Ammon, and Moab, and all
that are in the wilderness: for
all these nations are
uncircumcised, and all the
house of ISRAEL are
uncircumcised in the heart
|
I WILL PUNISH ALL THEM
WHICH ARE CIRCUMCISED
WITH THE UNCIRCUMCISED
I will punish both beliver
and not believer, who
pretend to worship me and
after their gain, doctrine and
mans commandment , which
focus more on money, ritual ,

Glorious gospel of JESUS
CHRIST are threatening with
destruction.

36) nevertheless they did
flatter him with their month,
and they lie unto him with
with their tongues
37)For their heart was not
right with him neither were
they steadfast in his
covenant
|
NEVERTHELESS, THEY DID
FLATTER HIM WITH THEIR
MOUTH
They attempt to deceive by
their false teaching, in prayer
to GOD, by drew nigh with
their month and honored
him with their lips
THEIR HEART WAS NOT
RIGHT WITH GOD
but their hearts were not
with GOD, but after lust, they
made fine speech and fair
promises they only draw
near to him, they only drawn
which was no true love of
GOD
But their heart is not with
GOD.

EZEKIEL 14:1-4
|
1)Then came certain of the
elder of Israel unto me, and
sat before me
2)And the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
3)Son of man, these men
have set up their idols in
their heart, and put the
stumbling block of their
iniquity before their face
should I be inquired of all by
them?
4)Therefore speak unto
them, and say unto them,
thus saith the LORD GOD,
Every man of the House of
Israel that setteth up his
idols in his heart, and putteth
the stumbling block of his
iniquity before his face, and
cometh to prophet; I the
LORD will answer him that
cometh according to the
multitude of his idols
|
THESE MEN HAVE SET UP
THEIR IDOL IN THEIR HEART
The false religionist and false
teacher resolved idolaters,
their heart was totally
addicted to their idolatrous
worship and ceremonies,
deep in it, there are other
than adulterers, as they have
cause to ascend upon their
heart and held in the highest
esteem by them and the
greatest honor done to the
Idol and lay upon their heart
The heart is first corrupted,
and then the outward
manifestation of idol
worship; they set their idol
before their eyes, with all
their pretenses of consulting
GOD that their idols had
gained the supreme
superiority
THE STUMBLING-BLOCK OF
THEIR INIQUITY
Their idols, so expressed, are
the object of their sin and
occasion of their destruction.
*They account these idols to
be gods, and worship, fear,
trust in and plead for them;
this is the sin,
|
|
EZEKIEL 33:31
|
31)And they come unto thee
as the people cometh, and
they sit before thee as y
people and they hear thy
words, but they will not do
them for with their mouth
they show much love, but
their heart goeth after
covetousness
|
THEIR HEART GO AFTER
COVETOUSNESS
Their desire, love and care is
about their gain, how to
make prosperous bargain,
how to place out and secure
their money with excessive
and unbearable increase
For with their mouth they
show much love by the
motions of their lips while
hearing, and others gestures,
as well as by what they said
afterwards, they seemed
please and delighted with
what they heard, made huge
praise, and spoke much in
upon it, and spoke much in
the praise of the preacher,
they made game with their
mouth.
But their heart goeth after
their covetousness, after the
money they have taken away
by force from the
congregation.
