Folks, the more you read this stuff, the more the words of Isaiah become clear. They were written for our day. The covenant with death is the injection. I am sure of it. Avoid it at any hazard. The very fact they (the cabal) is throwing everything they have at it, tells you logically that something is amiss.
Here is a translation by Avraham Gileadi that my wife dredged up. I find it is more expressive than the KJV. Pray for the spirit of prophecy. It is the only way to understand these words:
Isaiah 28
Ephraim and its prophets reap disaster for being delusional and for rejecting divine revelation.
1 Woe to the garlands of glory
of the drunkards of Ephraim!
Their crowning splendor has become as fading wreaths
on the heads of athe opulenta overcome with wine.
2 My Lord has in store one mighty and strong:
as a ravaging hailstorm sweeping down,
or like an inundating deluge of mighty waters,
he will hurl them to the ground by his hand.
3 The proud garlands of the drunkards of Ephraim
shall be trodden underfoot.
4 And the fading wreaths, the crowns of glory
on the heads of athe opulent,a
shall be like the first-ripe fruit
before summer harvest:
he who sees it devours it
the moment he has hold of it.
5 In that day shall Jehovah of Hosts
be as a crown of beauty and wreath of glory
to the remnant of his people:
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
a source of strength
to those who repulse the attack at the gates.
7 These too have indulged in wine
and are giddy with strong drink:
priests and prophets have gone astray through liquor.
They are intoxicated with wine
and stagger because of strong drink;
they err as seers, they blunder in their decisions.
8 For all tables are filled with vomit;
no spot is without excrement.
9 Whom shall he give instruction?
Whom shall he enlighten with revelation?
Weanlings weaned from milk,
those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is but line upon line, line upon line,
precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
a trifle here, a trifle there.
11 Therefore, by incomprehensible speech
and a strange tongue
must he speak to these people,
12 to whom he said, This is rest; let the weary rest!
This is a respite! But they would not listen.
13 So to them the word of Jehovah remained:
Line upon line, line upon line,
precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
a trifle here, a trifle there, that,
persisting, they might lapse into stumbling
and break themselves,
become ensnared and be taken captive.
14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you scoffers
who preside over these people in Jerusalem.
15 You have supposed, by taking refuge in deception
and hiding behind falsehoods,
to have covenanted with Death,
or reached an understanding with Sheol, that,
should a flooding scourge sweep through the earth,
it shall not reach you.
16 Therefore, thus says my Lord Jehovah:
I lay in Zion a stone, a keystone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.
They who believe it will not do rashly.
17 I will make justice the measure,
righteousness the weight;
a hail shall sweep away your false refuge
and waters flood the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with Death shall prove void,b
your understanding with Sheol have no effect:
when the flooding scourge sweeps through,
you shall be overrun by it.
19 As often as it sweeps through,
you shall be seized by it:
morning after morning it shall sweep through,
by day and by night it shall seize you;
it shall cause terror merely to hear word of it.
Read it with your quad open, with the original translation in the KJV. This is as fresh as the morning paper. Two years ago I would have shaken my head and said “gibberish”. Today, l am gobsmacked!
