Josie’s Comment: Every Knee Shall Bow
Isaiah 60:14 Also the sons of your afflicters shall come bowing to you; and all your despisers will bow down at the soles of your feet. And they will call you, The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Since the end of the summer war with Hamas in Gaza, there is a very clear shift in the level of public hatred against Israel and a significant increase in the level of politcal pressure coming against the government of Israel. This ushers in a new era for Israel and the Jewish people. It is apparent that a quiet and peaceful existance for Israel is not yet on the horizon, the visible one at least.
While I was in Germany several years ago, I was reading a book and I came across a scripture in that book from Isaiah 60:14 “Also the sons of those who afflicted you, shall come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet. Instantly, when I read this, and specifically when I read the part “shall come bowing to you” the story of Joseph flashed through my mind .
When I read these words the scripture from Genesis 37:7 also came across my mind … “Then behold my sheaf arose and also stood upright, and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed to my sheaf”. What a picture of Israel and the nations today ! Just as Joseph’s brothers hated him and could not speak peaceably to him (Genesis37:4) and despised him, so the Muslim Arab nations (Israel’s brother) and most of the other nations of the world today, virulently hate and despise Israel. It is interesting to note also in verse 3 of this chapter, that it says Jacob loved Joseph more than all his children, a parallel of God’s unconditional love and favor when He chose Israel to be His special people, simply because He loved them (Deuteronomy 7:6-8).
The nations that despise, hate and afflict Israel, will, as it is written in Is 60.14 (and just as it came true in the story of Joseph) eventually come and bow and fall prostrate at the feet of The Holy One of Israel. Just as Joseph was to the nations around him in that time, a provider and sustainer of life, and everyone, who wanted to survive, came to him and bowed before him, to receive grain and wheat. So it will surely be in that day, as written, that everyone who wants to receive life and be sustained will need to come Up to Zion to receive their portion and will also bow before the One who will release sustenance. It will be just as it is written in Jeremiah 31:12 “Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat , wine and oil. I believe the spiritual interpretation of those three commodities, is The Word, Joy, and Annointing. The nations will come for natural and spiritual provision.
Oh, what a day that will be. God’s word is true and it will come to pass. What a privilege we all have in this day, to come and worship and bow down before The Lord God our maker. Let’s continue to intercede and stand in the gap . My prayer is . Lord help us to have a Joseph spirit – to be faithful, committed, to endure,, to trust You, and to have eyes of vision and a spirit full of faith, that we might all see the “dream” for Israel finally be fulfilled.
The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist in the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel. Please pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent at this most strategic time, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Please also pray for a major break-through to the Muslim world, and please remember to pray for all of the soldiers in the IDF – they are defending and fighting for the soon coming of Messiah and the Kingdom of God.
