A TIME & SEASON FOR ISAIAH 45:3
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Isaiah 45:3, Ecclesiastes 3:1
Isaiah 45:3 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 New King James Version (NKJV)
Everything Has Its Time
3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven.
1. A Time And Season For Isaiah 45:3
a) We can grasp the idea that darkness is God’s secret place, that is, in the sense that anyone who would hide something from prying eyes, darkness would be a great covering. Yet, with God being light, this might seem contrary to who He is; but not so. When we are touched by His Spirit, we see that not only does God create darkness as read in Isaiah 45:7, but "He reveals mysteries from the darkness and brings the deep darkness into light." (Job 12:22)
b) Nothing is fabricated with these treasures of darkness. There is nothing birthed from the natural minds of men and women. These treasures are content to abide wherein they have been placed, in secret places, unseen by the world. They will abide under the shadow of His wing until they are called to rise and shine to be the daybreak, the morning, the New Day!
c) The gates of Babylon did not prevail against the anointed of the Lord, and they shall not prevail against His anointed today who will bring liberty to the treasures of darkness. None can prevent God’s treasures from coming out of darkness: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:6. Huts of darkness may be our temporary living quarters; but we are not of the darkness. "We are the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." (1 Thessalonians 5:5)
d) As treasures of darkness in God’s holy sanctuary, we may wonder on occasion how it is possible to make it through the vast valley to our destination, even if we have been called for such a thing. Remember, we are not of the night, but of the day, and when His candle shines upon our hearts, and when His light illumines our way—we will also walk through the darkness to victory. (Job 29:3)
e) There is a time and season for everything, and we are now living in the time of being Kingdom Treasures of Darkness hidden in God’s Pavilion of Darkness. We are in the season of being unseen and protected in His secret place. Yet there is also the time when He will sit us up upon a Rock (Psalms 27:5). And we can tell you, brethren, anyone who sits upon the Rock of Jesus Christ will no longer remain hidden! They will be in plain sight.
The End ...
