Summary: Becoming God¿s Sons/Servants Proxy Deliverers
Review: 1.They that pass the tests of loyalty, which tests God orchestrates for them and they show him they are loyal to him.
2.They reach a point of purification where they know God has forgiven them of their sins. They cease to do evil and learn to do good.
3.They tend to the spiritual and material needs of others, following Christ example. They heal the sick, comfort those in need of comfort, cloth the naked, cast out devils, and raise the dead. The lean on God as he strengthens them through their struggles. They provide deliverance and the message of salvation to those less fortunate then them. They continue on towards perfection and sancify their lives further. These are they that are known, as "Saviors on Mount Zion". They act as an intermediary between God and man, as a type of Messiah. The prophet demonstrates this pattern. The prophet intercedes for the people of the world and church and pleads our case to the Lord. Joel and Alma stated we must all become prophets and be capable of prophesying of all things. The reason for this counsel is that Christ Servants are empowered as a type of Messiah and have the power to act accordingly.
4.The promises of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are realized and sealed through the spirit and power of Elijah in Holy Temples of the Lord.
5.God Servants act as a type of King David. They maintain the covenant and provide protection to God's people. The rebuke the curses of plagues, starvation, and death. The servants of God call upon divine protection. Just as the Lord provided divine protection against the Egyptians as they fled from bondage, so will God protect his people in our day.
6.Christ appears directly to his servants and ministers to them. Christ instructs them directly and communicates as one man speaks and reasons to another.
7.Gileadi Quote: As Christ's servants become more like Christ, by learning to love and serve others, he blesses them with the same eternal blessings and promised lands, thrones and dominions, and so forth as persons in the past. End Quote
8.Jesus said the "Meek would inherit the earth", these are the servants of God, as celestial beings they inherit the celestial earth. The earth will become a great urim and thummin and the glory of God will reside on the earth. Those who have received their exaltation will receive an inheritance on the earth.

Summary: Ministering model that embraces everyone
Review: Isaiah Decoded

The pattern for traversing the ladder to heavan

Ruin and Rebirth (ch 1-5;34-35)
Rebellion and Compliance (ch 6-8; 36-40)
Punishment and Deliverance (ch 9-12; 41-46)
Humilation and Exaltation (ch 13-23;46-47)
Suffering and Salvation (ch 24-27; 48-54)
Disloyalty and Loyalty (ch 28-31; 55-59)
Disinheritance and Inheritance (ch 32-33; 60-66)

Gileadi Quote:
Isaiah's ladder accommodates every class of character, from the noblest to the basest and as on Jacob's ladder, the God of Israel-the creator of heavan and earth-stands at the top. The only way to experience "salvation" and "exaltation" is the meet the requirements. God asks each of us to love and be loved, to give and to receive, to reach out and be reached. Isaiah's ladder to heaven is a ministering model that embraces everyone, in which each of us discovers he or she is important.

Hezekiah foreshadows our day

Hezekiah is a type of savior. Hezekiah interceded for his people providing "salvation" from the Assyrian forces of Sennacherib. You may recall, the Lord told Hezekiah, he would die soon, so, Hezekiah pleaded with the Lord to preserve his life. The Lord considered Hezekiah's valiancy in destroying the places of Idol Worship in Israel and restoring the covenant with House of Israel and chose too extended Hezekiah life by fifteen years through both a miracle and a sign (sun dial turned back). Isaiah counseled Hezekiah not form an alliance with Egypt because the Egyptian soldiers were men not Gods and Isaiah foresaw the Egyptian army falling to the Asyrians and the Lord would fight Israel's battles.

Sennacherib blasphemied God and his cursing were known by God causing the wrath of God to be turned against the Asyrians and as they came to deliver the death blow to Israel, a rumor was heard among the soldiers causing them change course away from Jerusalem. The Lord sent his destroying angel to lay waste 185,000 Assyrian Soldiers. This pattern is a foreshadowing of our day. The watchmen need to wake up from their sleep and be aware where the enemy resides and his movements. The enemy will strike fast and his destructions are at a global scale that no organization can mitigate, neutralize, or alleviate the suffering. Only those who are prepared shall not fear, the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

Gileadi Quote
Just as the king of Assyria attack's God's people "Israel", so he attack "Egypt". In Isaiah's end-time scenario Isaiah is also a codename. Isaiah use Egypt and Assyria as codenames for end-time world powers follows a pattern often employed by Hebrew prophets. Zechariah, for instance speaks of Egypt and Assyria as world powers God will subdue in a future day of destruction. (Zech 10:11) So they represent opposite Political and Spiritual Power Today: (Egypt verses Assyria) (Zion verse Babylon)

When Assyria suddenly became a world threat, other nations still looked to Egypt's immense military might to defend them, trusting in alliances for protection: "Woe to those who do down to Egypt for help, relying on horses, putting their trust in immense numbers of chariots and vast forces of horsemen, but who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor inquire of the Lord!" ...The Egyptians are human, not divine, their heros are flesh, not spirit: when the Lord stretches out his hand, those who help them will stumble and those helped will fall; both will come to the end together...Pharaoh's protection will turn to shame, shelter in Egypt's shadow to embarrassment (Isaiah 30:3;31,3)

However, the only nation today that fits Isaiah's description of "Egypt" is America...In future rerun of past events, we may expect to see a scenario develop like that of Isaiah's time: when Egypt's inhabitants choose evil, preferring idols and spiritually altered states; when Egypt's economy crashes and civil war sweeps the land; when Egypt's politicians take matters into their own hands and mislead the nation. God empowers the king of Assyria against them.

Gileadi Quote
Meanwhile, the king of Assyria/Babylon wants much more than to subdue and destroy God's people, though this is the chief goal, his desire for power is insatiable; it know no bounds. The archtyrant wants to rule the whole world, not simply bring people to justice or humble them. God appoints him to punish the wicked, as Isaiah notes, but "it will not seem so to him, this will not be what he has in mind. His purpose will be to annihilate and to exterminate nations not a few." (Isaiah 10:7) As they set out to conquer the world, the king of Assyria/Babylon and his alliance of nations commit murder on a scale never before seen. The horror of their rape of the earth will surpass all that has gone before.
The archtrant doesn't know, God allows him, to do all he does. He thinks he has achieved it all by himself; unaware he was only part of the larger purpose. He boasts, the noun "I" appears seven times. "I have done it by my own ability and shrewdness, for I am ingenious. I have done away with the boundaries of the nations, I have ravaged their reserves, I have vastly reduced the inhabitants. I have impounded the wealth of peoples like a nest, and I have gathered up the whole world as one gathers abandoned eggs, not one flapped its wins, or opened its mouth to utter a peep (Isaiah 10:13-14)
End Quote

The archtrant desire World domination and by reducing world population, his goal can be achieved.

The archetyrant tries to make Assyria the "head of the nations" and not "Israel"

Gileadi Quote
God gives him (archtyrant) power over the wicked of God's people throughout the world because they have "transgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, and set at naught the everlasting covenant" (Isaiah 24:5)

Summary: Isaiah truly revealed
Review: This is one of the greatest books ever written on the great Bible Prophet Isaiah! I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for Bible truths, studying Isaiah, or who really wants to know the true nature of God. What I really liked about the book was that Dr. Gileadi is such a good writer pain and easy to understand, and he wrote the book in such a manner that the reader does not have to know a lot about the Bible, religion, or even have ever read the book of Isaiah to understand it. Dr. Gileadi is a brilliant man and he truly cracked the encoded message of Isaiah. This book is a must read for anyone searching for true religion. I give it 5 stars.
