Desolations and Solemn Assemblies

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.  ISAIAH 64:2

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire:  and all our pleasant things are laid waist. 

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD?  wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?  ISAIAH 64:11,12

 

The manifestation of solemn assemblies at the end of this age gives birth to a cry for the Messiah that all of creation has never witnessed before.  At the end of this age, desolations will be in the land of Israel as witnessed by his judgments upon Israel's transgressions.  The LORD is a jealous God who desires truth in the most inward parts.

 

Israel's coming judgments are a call for gentiles to continue on in covenant faithfulness to the coming king.  Reprobate gentiles will be given over to the strong delusion sent by God because they did not love the truth.  God's covenant faithfulness will be witnessed by the nations of the earth in Yeshua's coming kingdom as he is King of kings and Lord of lords; he intends on making Israel a faithful people to him and he intends on restoring the land he gave to his firstborn nation.
