Isaiah 26 (Confused as this sounds like Annihilation)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hello jsendog. Maybe these will bring about a better understanding of Isa.26 verse 14.

They are dead until resurrection and judgement.




(Amplified Bible)

14They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live and reappear; they are powerless ghosts(spirit)9, they shall not rise and come back. Therefore You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish.


(New International Version)

14 They are now dead, they live no more;
       those departed spirits do not rise.
       You punished them and brought them to ruin;
       you wiped out all memory of them.


Peace...Mark

No worries.  ;)

There really isn't a shortcut around reading the LOF articles, I can offer a tidbit though. Hopefully you have esword or a Strong's Concordance. If you look at the original Hebrew the dead, death, destroy, destroyed, which you have highlighted/emboldened also has a figurative connotation. All of our carnal man/men are dead/destroyed either in this age or in the age(s) to come, once we are "changed" the sinful (old) man will indeed be (and stay) dead, but our new man (in Christ) shall gain immortality.

1Co 15:20  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
 
1Co 15:21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
 
1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Read the articles!

Peace,

I believe it all comes down to understanding what Jesus said;

Matthew 18:11 "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

It was ray who first pointed out to me that the word translated lost, is the same word translated "DESTROYED" or "PERISHED" in the new testement.

So if you read Matthew 18:11 with your eyes open you will see that; "the Son of man is come to save that which was lost, perished and DESTROYED."

No annhilation here.

God bless,

Alex

I have a lot to learn!  Haha!  When I had my breakdown I began saying to people that the day I finally thought I knew everything there was to know was the same day I found out I knew absolutely NOTHING!!  What a humbling experience to say the least (I was also pleasantly suprised with what I found out about God). 

Thanks for the fast help in understanding!

Could be wrong but, seems to me that Scriptures (Isa 26:14) are telling us that the dead really are dead, unconscious, sleeping until the ressurection, and do not go to Heaven or Hell immediately upon death.

Isa 26:14  They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Second Witness:

Ecc 9:5  For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Third:

Psa 115:17  The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

Fourth:

Gen 3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Here is a good one:

Joh 11:11  These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12  Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Joh 11:13  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Joh 11:14  Then said Jesus unto them plainly, LAZARUS IS DEAD.

Like I said, I could be wrong about Isa 26:14.

Peace, G.Driggs
