YeshayahuChapter 31
Not in Horses, But in His Name
Elohim protecting Jerusalem like hovering birds, not chariots or horses — the deliverance Yeshua brings is not by worldly power but by the Ruach who hovers over His own.
- Woe to Those Relying on Horses
Horses and chariots cannot save. Trusting military power over Elohim is a fatal miscalculation.
- 1Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Kodesh One of Israel, and they don’t seek YHWH!
- 2Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
- 3Now the Egyptians are men, and not Elohim; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When YHWH stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
- Adonai Will Defend Jerusalem
Like a lion over its prey, Adonai will defend Jerusalem. His protection is fierce and unrelenting.
- 4For YHWH says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so YHWH Tzeva'ot will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
- 5As birds hovering, so YHWH Tzeva'ot will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
- 6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
- 7For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
- 8“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labour.
- 9His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says YHWH, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
