and Wage War

Yet now
hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb,
which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him
that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another
shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the
name of Israel. Isaiah 44:1-5 Remember these,
O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten
of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed
thee. Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains,
O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. Thus saith the LORD,
thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens
alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that
turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the
counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built,
and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: That saith of
Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple,
Thy foundation shall be laid. Isaiah
44:21-28 The
Sword of David is coming to deliver Israel and Jerusalem from the hands of Babylon. The Sword of David, Jesus Christ, as the
Captain of the LORD's Host comes to wage war against the nations that have moved against Israel and Jerusalem. Amen
