Ah, my dear ApostleAK.
Good to see you. :)
My Lord has some comments (frustrations) regarding that 'text,' ..... here they are.
Section name: The happiness of those in the light or really The happiness of those in the organisation
(Isa 26:1,2) These are the exultant words of people who trusted in Jehovah. Faithful Jews in Isaiah's day looked to Jehovah, not to false gods of their fellow countrymen, as the only real Source of security. Today, we have the same confidence. Moreover, we love Jehovah's "righteous nation" - "the Israel of God" (Gal 6:16; Matt 21:43) Jehovah too loves this nation because of it's faithful conduct. With his blessing, the Israel of God has "a strong city," a citylike organisation that supports and protects it
My Lord says:
"I am the Light. If anyone believes in me will themselves become 'sons of light.' I appointed no 'religion' no 'organization' as ANY 'light' for I am the ONLY Light that men must seek in order to be saved."
"My Father was loyal Israel's Rock in the days of Isaiah. Jerusalem (their 'organization/city) DID NOT protect them. It was my Father who protected them and it was my Father who supported them. Since then, all things have been given into my hand from my Father. Thus, Israel that is here today belongs to me and it is Israel that I support and it is Israel that I protect, according to the commandment that I recieved from my Father."
"Indeed, many of 'Israel' has remained in that organization, touching the unclean thing, and commiting idolatry against me and my Father."
"I am the Light of the world, if anyone comes to me, they will by no means walk in darkness, but posses the light of life. Do not forget that this is the BASIS for judgement, that the Light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, because they HATED REPROOF."
Let the one who has ears 'hear' what the spirit says........
May you all have peace,
Aaron
