Isa msg 33

Truth:
1. Isaiah's central point is to show us how God made Christ the centrality and universality of His great move for the accomplishment of His economy.
2. The title Immanuel includes "Jehovah" and "the earth" because it means God with us, that is, God with man.
3. Christ as the Shoot of Jehovah is for the branching out of Jehovah God, in His divinity, into humanity.
4. Jesus was the divine title given by god. Immanuel, meaning God with us, was the name called by man.
5. Our God with His divine nature is our beauty and our glory. His divinity is our beauty and our glory.
6. Christ as the Fruit of the earth is for multiplication and reproduction of the divine life in humanity; humanity is the soil, the earth, for the Triune God to be multiplied and reproduced.
7. The canopy is covering, and the tabernacle is overshadowing. The canopy is of the divine glory, and the tabernacle is of Christ's grace in His humanity.
8. The Shoot of Jehovah and the Fruit of the earth, as the God-man in His divinity and His humanity as well, will be a covering canopy of the divine glory and an overshadowing tabernacle of grace in humanity.
9. The covering canopy of glory is also a cloud of smoke as a shade by day from the heat and the brightness of a fiery flame by night against the darkness.
10. He is presently overshadowing His believers in His grace as a daytime shade from the heat and as a refuge and a cover from storm and rain.

Life experience/Application:
1. We must live a life which expresses Christ's beauty and glory in a divine way and which expresses Christ's excellence and splendor in a human way.
2. Requirements to partake Christ in the age of restoration:
1) We should be people who have escaped any kind of bondage or slavery
2) Living and remaining in a holy life in God's chosen place -- the local church is Zion and the Body of Christ is Jerusalem
3) The judging and burning Spirit should work within us to wash away our filth and to cleanse away our bloodstains. We "kill" the saints through our gossiping and spreading of rumors.
