“Do
I bring to the birth and
not cause to bring forth? Said
the Lord.
Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained, said
your
God. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem and
be glad in her all ye loving her. Rejoice ye with her for joy, all
ye are mourning for her.”
(Isaiah 66:9-10)
God
creates, controls and conducts His entire Creation, and wants the
children of Israel to rejoice in their connection with Him that is
Jerusalem, those who love her. All of the Jews who have mourned for
Jerusalem must be happy and rejoice in her, for she is destined to be
rebuilt along with her Temple forever. Let's all Israel rejoice in
God's word and promise.
“So
that ye suck, and have been satisfied from
the breast of her consolations. So that ye wring out, and have
delighted yourselves from
the abundance of her glory.
For
thus said the
Lord:
'Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, and
as an overflowing stream the honor of nations. And ye have sucked, on
the side ye are carried, and
on the knees ye are dandled.”
(66:11-12)
The
breast of Jerusalem's consolations is precisely the new consciousness
that will come forth for our Redemption. Its unfathomable qualities
will satiate our yearnings of the knowledge of God in which we will
delight eternally in its endlessness. The expansion of our
consciousness as an overflowing stream of peace as completion and
totality.
The
nations as our lower traits and trends will honor this new
consciousness by carrying us and supporting us in our assimilation of
knowing the revealed Presence of God in us.
“As
one whom his mother comforts,
so do I comfort you. Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
And
ye have seen and rejoiced has
your heart, and
your bones as tender grass do flourish. And the hand of the
Lord
has
been known unto His servants, and
He has
been indignant with His enemies.”
(66:13-14)
God's
Love will be totally revealed to us as He promises in these verses.
We will be comforted in unfathomable ways to be known through our new
consciousness in which evil nor negative traits and trends exist no
more. This reminds us Moses' plea to the Creator, quoted by king
David.
“Let
Your
work be
revealed unto
Your
servants, and
Your
splendor
(lit. way)
on
their sons.”
(Psalms
90:16)
In
order for this to happen, the “indignation” of God with His
“enemies” also has to occur, for this new consciousness does not
cohabit with anything different from God's promise for the Messianic
era.
“For,
lo, the
Lord in
fire comes,
and
as a hurricane His chariots to
refresh in fury His anger. And His rebuke in flames of fire.
For
by fire and by His sword the
Lord
does
judgment
with all flesh. And many have been the
Lord's
pierced ones'.”
(Isaiah
66:15-16)
We
must understand that God's Love is as fire, the
catalyst that
will transform our current consciousness tampered by darkness and
negativity into the golden and uplifting qualities of Love's ways and
attributes as the material manifestation of God's Love.
Fire and
sword are the proper allegories to make us aware of God's power to
make His will prevails. He has done it before with His messengers and
Prophets that He transformed to serve Him as He pleases.
“Those
sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, [one]
after
one
in the midst, eating
flesh of the swine.
And of the abomination, and of the rat,
together
are consumed. An affirmation of the
Lord.”
(66:17)
Idol
worship as ego's fantasies and illusions derived from negative traits
and trends will disappear from human consciousness. Those are the
lower ideas, ideologies, thoughts, feelings and emotions we make lead
our lives as the gardens devoted to idolatry. The swine, the
abomination and the rodent as symbols of the abject consciousness
will cease to exist, as God affirms it.
