THE FIRE THAT BURNS AND THE WIND THAT SCATTERS IS UPON US!

This post discusses themes of purification and reduction through biblical references, emphasizing Jesus’ message about the refining nature of fire and the winnowing of wheat. It highlights Isaiah’s call to preach, suggesting that truthful preaching can be painful but ultimately leads to a holy remnant, symbolized by the stump.

Jesus spoke of the refiner’s fire…
FIRE HURTS
FIRE REDUCES

Jesus spoke of winnowing wheat…
WINNOWING WASTES
WINNOWING REDUCES

In Isaiah chapter six, God calls Isaiah, Isaiah accepts the call and then…

God tells him to preach until everything burns up…
START PREACHING TO A GREEN TREE
PREACH UNTIL NOTHING BUT A STUMP REMAINS
PREACHING TRUTH HURTS
PREACHING TRUTH REDUCES

THE HOLY SEED IS A STUMP…

Isaiah 6:
13 And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump remains
when it is felled.”
The holy seed is its stump.

The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity…

Lamentations 2:
14 Your prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
that are false and misleading.

HOLD ON, THE FIRE THAT BURNS AND THE WIND THAT SCATTERS IS UPON US!

The day Jesus returns will find the church reduced to a stump…
BE OF GOOD CHEER…
THAT STUMP IS THE HOLY SEED!

PRAY-THINK-PRAY

David…
