Isaiah 39:5-8 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies: ‘The time is coming when everything in your palace – all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now – will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the Lord. ‘Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.’” Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”
Hezekiah was a fool. First, he pridefully and foolishly showed the visitors from Babylon everything that was in the treasuries of the kingdom – even the weaponry. Then, when Isaiah told him what Babylon would do, that they would steal everything and imprison his sons – even emasculating them and turning them into eunuchs in the service of the Babylonian king — Hezekiah’s reaction was yet more foolish – he was happy that it would not happen until after he was gone. It is exactly this attitude that has allowed your Nation to become what it is today. So many of My people are only concerned about what is happening directly to them, during their lifetime. They have no concern – they do not even think about the fact that what is allowed in the world today will affect what the world becomes tomorrow. You are so used to your comfort in your everyday lives that you are not capable to thinking outside of the present moment. Wake up. You have created an impossible scenario for your chidlren and your children’s children. You have set the stage for an imprisoned society – in fact, your people were taken prisoner long ago: prisoners to self-pleasing, to ease and comfort, to distraction and entertainment, prisoners to your wants and desires and addictions. You have traded true freedom for a false reality. You believe you are free and self-determining, but you are slaves to money, to advertisement, to your feelings and beliefs, to your need to be constantly entertained and to have your egos massaged. When the reality of what you have become and what is in store for you sets in, it will be too late. Wake up. Repent. Give up all of your false idols and return to Me. Choose whom you will serve: Me or yourselves. Time is very short.
