Jesus Refers

To The Prophecy Of Isaiah

 

A Private House In Capernaum

In Cana Jesus tarried not he went his way with his disciples to Capernaum, where he secured a spacious house where, with his mother, he could live, where his disciples might repair to hear the Word.

 

Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, that the word which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled.

 

The Prophecy Of Isaiah
Beside the Sea of Galilee, the Christian Master walked, and multitudes of people followed Him. The fishing boats had just come in, and Peter and his brother waited in their boats. Their helpers were ashore repairing broken nets. And Jesus went into a boat and Peter pushed it out a little way from shore. And Jesus standing in the boat spoke to the multitude. He said, “Isaiah, prophet of the Lord of Hosts, looked forward and he saw this day. He saw the people standing by the sea, and he exclaimed,


 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles.

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,

And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death

Light has dawned."


And you are blest beyond all people of the earth today, because are among the first to see the light, and you may become the children of the light.”



 

The People Who Sat In Darkness

1.     Darkness means to spiritual blindness, ignorance and laziness.

2.     It means lack of the knowledge of the Truth, worldwide

3.     Already, the Devil and his evil spirits and demons have colonized the regions of the earth, overtaken humanity in multiple fronts, and have hypnotized people that people no longer know the right things to do.

4.     Instead, people are evil in all their ways and are breading more evils, and spreading the demonic and deadly influences all over the world.

5.     It means that the antichrist and his wicked demons have polluted every aspect of human endeavours, which include education, religion, culture, commerce, society, politics etc.

 

For example, in culture, and by customs and traditions, every family compound has idols and charms buried inside them, which causes business failure, family crises, marriage breakups, promise and fail, wasted years, untimely death, disease and pollutions.

In entertainments, the video industry pretends to entertain the society, whereas they are everyday busy sowing all kind of evils in the hearts and mind of the youths and children. Today, girls are wearing trousers and shorts, even in public places, because the films actors and musicians introduced (started) it and promoted the same.

 

People Has Seen A Great Light

1.     The great light refers to God Almighty, as a saviour in the person of Jesus Christ.

2.     God Himself shall shepherd His people in the end time, just as He foretold it by prophet Ezekiel.

3.     The light means the presence of the Holy Spirit, the powers of the holy spirit and the teachings of Truth, which light shall become more and more manifest, from day to day.

4.     The same light refers to Spiritual Science, because only the Holy Spirit can teach the truth about God and life. For a long time, humanity neglected Spiritual Science. Therefore, they became lost to the kingdom of heaven, which is their Father’s home, from where they came to the world for a temporary stay.

 

In The Region And Shadow Of Death

In spirit, the earth with all its riches and glories is like a city of darkness, the city of dead people, where dead people are moving about, without knowing that they are already spiritually dead. Those people refer to humanity, who are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.

 

People have so much neglected the spiritual dimension of life that:

1.     They are disconnected from heaven.

2.     They no longer believe it is possible to see God or live a righteous life.

3.     They no longer know that they are spirits and sons of the living God.

4.     Their spiritual eyes have closed up, such that they grope about like blind men.

5.     The desires of the flesh have overtaking the thirst for spiritual life and desire for heavenly kingdom.

6.     People now take the world as if it were a place for permanent residence, and no longer a school for learning and a farm meant for temporary stay.

7.     Region of darkness and shadow of death means dullness, sluggishness, laziness and weakness. Compare these bad conditions of the earth with heaven, wherein is liveliness, vitality, diligence and strength.

8.     Earthly money and wealth are the waste products from heaven, which are used to test humanity.
