Isaiah 52:1-15 (KJV) 

1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Freedom for the Israelites returning back home 70 years later.

We all have been slaves to sin, bad habits, and a life without the light of God's Word and thinking you are right with God.  It is to believed.  Jesus made me free!  I am no longer a slave to the thoughts or will of men.  Many religious leaders hate when they are no longer in control of you and your family's life. To tell people what to do is prideful and seemingly powerful.  If we are not in the Word of God, we remain in bondage.

 2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

Remove the dust from yourselves and rest.  Take the band off your neck people of God.  When we come to Christ we first must recognize we have been dealt a dirty hand.  It will take some time to get used to all of the things that held us down.  Based on the level of bondage it may be a while to get used to all God has always wanted for us.

3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 

We sold ourselves?  This means we allowed ourselves to be sucked in by the glamor of the devil (the world's system). But the blood of Jesus bought us back.  The world way is extremely expensive.  The ultimate price of sin is death.  The devil is doing all he can to keep you in bondage until he snap the necks of ignorant people who say they know God.

4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 

Egypt is the World's Wonderland.   When the children of Israel were held in the custody of the enemy, they felt what it was like to lose the mind of creativity and become the dream of a slave owner.

Today our biggest slave master are our churches who wear the name of God, but the people who attend are blind and don't even know they are in the worst type of bondage.  The bondage of the mind not knowing the Word of God.

5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day [is] blasphemed. 

The unbeliever can't and won't believe because the product the church sells is damaged goods.  This gives God's name a bad taste in the mouths of those who never met Him.  The enemy offers nothing and brags on how many people fell for his lies.  We mean nothing to the enemy and to the nation who runs the world is the offspring of satan.

6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] he that doth speak: behold, [it is] I.

But God has the perfect plan.  God will send a Waymaker!  Jesus will speak the Word of God and God will draw His people once again back to Him.

 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 

To hear the voice of a man or woman who has the voice of God is priceless.  Hit the air!  God is Alive!

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. 

When we read the Word of God correctly, we will see eye to eye.  No division!  We will see God as He is!

9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 

Fix up the Land and sing while you do so!  The redeemer has paid the full price!  We live just like He said we would!!!

10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. 

Jesus is crystal clear in representing the Father.  All eyes will see and understand that He is the son of God, who is God!

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean [thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

Leave the world's system.  God spoke this twice.  He is glad to let us come back to Him.  We need none of the world's stuff.  Get the Word of God and begin to live!!  

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be] your rereward. 

Walk out with dignity.  Let the world see you leave.  You will not sneak out.  God will lead and dares anyone to try to get in your way!

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 

Jesus will get the job done!!!  He will careful make His moves and when He is done, the world will talk about Him all day every day!

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 

They saw Jesus and knew He was God!

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.

Jesus has enough power in His blood to touch the whole world.  Those that refused to listen and study God's Word will finally see and any of those who did not know, will know.  Jesus will have the last Word. The last Word.
