Part 1 was an exposition of Isaiah 66:1-4. It closed with the
rejection of Jesus by his own people, which was also a rejection of the
disciples for what they taught after his resurrection.
Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is
left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of
the Lord.
The exposition continues in Isaiah 66:5 describing the return of
Christ at the Second Advent with the penalty his people will suffer for
the rejecting him as well as his brethren.
ISAIAH 66:5 – Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word;
your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake,
said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and
they shall be ashamed.
Micah and Isaiah wrote in the same time period. Micah also indicated
that Christ would temporarily give Israel up until she travailed through
the tribulation period. At the end of her travail she would see her
Messiah brought forth again at his Second Advent. His brethren of the
church age would rejoice, but the descendants of those who rejected him
would be ashamed of the actions of their forefathers, as well as their
own.
Micah 5:3 – Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she
which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren
shall return unto the children of Israel. (Review Archive Prophecy

Micah 5:1 – Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath
laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod
upon the cheek. (Review Archive Prophecy Update Number 62)
Micah 5:2 – But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that
is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting. (Review Archive Prophecy Update Number 63)
ISAIAH 66:5 – Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word;
your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake,
said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and
they shall be ashamed.
Luke 22:21-30 – But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with
me on the table. [22] And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was
determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! [23] And they
began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do
this thing. [24] And there was also a strife among them, which of them
should be accounted the greatest. [25] And he said unto them, The kings
of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise
authority upon them are called benefactors. [26] But ye shall not be so:
but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he
that is chief, as he that doth serve. [27] For whether is greater, he
that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at
meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. [28] Ye are they which have
continued with me in my temptations. [29] And I appoint unto you a
kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; [30] That ye may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
Revelation 1:5-7 – And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, [6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. [7] Behold, he
cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Revelation 20:2-6 – And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And
cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon
him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6]
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such
the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
