Covenant with death, Isaiah 28:15
Isaiah 24 and 28 describe a false religion that will cover the world.
I see some have dismissed this as ambiguous nations that go to war as being the identity of the descriptions. Some have agreed. Does this fit with all of the descriptions?
The first description is "transgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant". Well, yes the covenant with Noah was everlasting one, but where do transgressing laws and changing ordinances come in with ambiguous nations? I know of only one group in the world that boasts about doing this. See link.
The next description is new wine, vine and merryhearted. See link to see a religion which matches all these descriptions. I know of no other.
This religion begins with the striking off of an olive tree and as gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. See link for a religion which matches this. I am not aware of any ambiguous nations which speak to this.
This false relgion is known for singing for the majesty of the L-rd, in fact to the uttermost parts of the earth we have heard songs, even glory to the righteous. Any religion come to mind here? Please do tell, I can't wait.
Fear, pit, and snare. See link for matches to this description. Since Jews to not believe in hell, you will have a hard time hanging these on them.
High ones on high in Isaiah 24:21. Ephesians 2:6 could not be a more perfect match. See the link.
This snare religion is talked about in Isaiah 28 too. We see this snare religion has weaned from milk false teachers that take a little here and a little there from the Hebrew Scriptures. What religion in the world does this?
This religion teaches rest to the weary. Sound like anyone we know?
This religion teaches(wrongly) that they will escape the overflowing scourge that will pass through because they have a covenant with death. See link for perfect matches, uncanny.
What other religion has a covenant with death?
