THEN, "THE WHOLE EARTH HAS COME TO REST"?
(Isaiah 14:7).

Those who have been "disabling the nations" are now being "cut down to the earth". (Isaiah 14:12). Lebanon and surrounding regions are having their defences (their "doors") "opened" to destruction by "fire". (Zech 11:1,2).

From the moment that the satanic power of "Gog's crowd" over the people of Lebanon is brought to an end ("lain down"), is when earth's peoples have become free of disturbance. Their "juniper trees" and "cedars" will say: "'Ever since you have lain down, no [wood]cutter comes up against us'" (killers and tyrants). (Isaiah 14:68,20). Jehovah gave the order: "Open up your doors, O Lebanon, that a fire may devour among your cedars." (Zech 11:1).

The satanic tyrants are the "goat-like leaders" (politicians) of the nations, warring against people of God. They are the killers! They are the ones "driving [others] to work". (Isaiah 14:4).

 ""NOW I WILL RISE UP," SAYS JEHOVAH".

"'You people conceive dried grass; you will give birth to stubble.'" (Isaiah 33:11). The fruitage of their work against the Will of God is likened to "dried grass". God uses "Assyrian"-type people against Lebanon's tyrants and is causing the despoiling of the despoilers. "In that day" these events are the "signal" for the nations that the "root of Jesse" (The Christ Michael) is "standing up as a signal for the peoples". (Isaiah 11:10. Dan 12:1).

Blessed is he who comes in Jehovah's Name! Removing the "load" and the "yoke" of those driving [others] to work. Amen. God's Kingdom is coming to birth!

"How has the one driving [others] to work come to a stop, the oppression come to a stop! Jehovah has broken the rod of the wicked ones, the staff of the ruling ones, the one striking peoples in fury with a stroke incessantly, the one subduing nations in sheer anger with a persecution without restraint. The whole earth has come to rest, has become free of disturbance. People have become cheerful with joyful cries. Even the juniper trees have also rejoiced at you, the cedars of Lebanon, [saying,] 'Ever since you have lain down, no [wood]cutter comes up against us.' Even She'ol underneath has become agitated at you in order to meet you on coming in. At you it has awakened those impotent in death, all the goatlike leaders of the earth. It has made all the kings of the nations get up from their thrones. All of them speak up and say to you, 'Have you yourself   also been made weak like us?'" (From Isaiah 14:4‑10).


""…and that his yoke may actually depart from upon them and that his very load may depart from upon their shoulder." This is the counsel that is counselled against all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out against all the nations." (Isaiah 14:25,26).

""Now I will rise up," says Jehovah, "now I will exalt Myself; now I will lift Myself up. You people conceive dried grass; you will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit, as a fire, will eat you up. And peoples must become as the burnings of lime. As thorns cut away, they will be set ablaze even with fire. Hear, you men who are far away, what I must do! And know, you who are nearby, My mightiness. In Zion the sinners have come to be in dread; shivering has grabbed hold of the apostates: 'Who of us can reside for any time with a devouring fire? Who of us can reside for any time with long-lasting conflagrations?'" (Isaiah 33:10-14).

"Woe to you who are despoiling, without you yourself being despoiled, and to you who are dealing treacherously, without [others] having dealt treacherously with you! As soon as you have finished as a despoiler, you will be despoiled. As soon as you have done with dealing treacherously, they will deal treacherously with you." (Isaiah 33:1).

"And it must occur in that day that there will be the root of Jes'se that will be standing up as a signal for the peoples. To him even the nations will turn inquiringly, and his resting-place must become glorious." (Isaiah 11:10).
