Isaiah 8: The signs and wonders of the pool of Siloam. John the Baptist calls a house divided against itself to repentance but darkness spreads.

1: And Yehoweh says to Me (Immanuel), “ Take, take yourself a great tablet and write on it  with a pen for ‘Quickly (Masher), Plunder (Shalal), Hurry up (Khush), Prey (Bazaz) ( John = Yah + Khanan favour  the Baptist?)

2: And I cause testifiers to testify for Me (John the Baptist voice crying out  prepare Matthew 3:3, Isaiah 40;3, Malachi 3:1, John 1:23):  

The time /of the assured Yah’s Fire (Uriah) the priest and the/time of the Zechariah (Remember-Yahu) son of Bless-Yahu (Ye-breki (barak)-yahu).

3: And I draw near (karav never used in any of its 284 occurrences Strong’s 7126 for conjugal relations but always for approaching with a lifted up offering often to an altar. Gabriel’s message to Zechariah and Elizabeth (both of Levite origin) about John the Baptist? Luke 1:5-25) to the prophetess and she conceives  and gives birth to a son and Yehoweh says, “Call to Me his name, ‘Quickly (Masher), Plunder (Shalal), Hurry up (Khush), Prey (Bazaz)’ (John the Baptist said Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? … The axe is already laid at the root of the tree Luke 3:7-9, a baptism of repentance Mark 1:4 Luke 1:17 )

4: For before the child knows to cry, ‘Abi and Ammi’ (my father and my mother Luke 1:15 – John the Baptist filled with Spirit in the womb), he lifts up Damashek’s force and Shomron’s plunder in Ashur king’s face (Luke 1:80 – John growing up in the desert, areas ruled by  tetrarchs ( Pilate, Herod et al) under Caesar and High priests Annas, Caiaphas Luke 3:1.2  ( Firebrands and Smokes Isaiah 7: 4) and John is pitted against them and in Luke 3:19 is put in prison).

5: And Yehoweh causes to add – to speak to Me again – to say

6: For because this the people had disdained the/time of the waters of Shilokha (Pool of Siloam (from Shalak = sent ie water sent from – piped in – Gibon Springs, Isaiah 8:5,  whose water Jesus uses to heal the man born blind John 9 which was renovated / enlarged (elyon) by Herod for pilgrims to wash before going up to the renovated second temple)

 to creepily / gradually but darkly like an incantation rejoice with Retsin and Remaliahu’s son (King Retzin (Favour) of Aram (Shem’s son, Syria) and Feka (open, Remliahu’s son (Yah+bedecked, not of royal lineagmilitary leader who sought frenemy support against Judah) son, king of Israel were called The firebrands and the smokes who counselled evil Isaiah 7: 4,5. The High priests rejected Jesus because the man born blind was healed on a Sabbath just after an attempt was made on His life John 9:10-34. Pharisees befriended Herodians, sought to destroy Him Mark 3:6. Retsin and Remaliah’s son are forerunners of the house divided against itself Mark 3:26 on the pool of Siloam incident). 

7: And therefore, behold! The Lord caused the/time of the strengths and mights of river waters to be brought over them.

The/time of Ashur’s king and the/time of his glory had ascended over all the canals and walks over all its banks (Hasmoneans and Herod built aqueducts and pools via Bethlehem to Jerusalem which survived till the 1967 war).

8:  And it had slid past into Judah. It had washed off and crossed over till it causes to strike the nape of the neck. And the full extent of its wing spread had happened to be the width of Your Land. ( John baptizes where there is a lot of water John 3:23 and throughout Judea Matt 3:1, Acts 10:37 and all Israel Acts 13:24)

Immanuel!

Pause and think about that!

9:  Cause evil trouble, people and shatter!

Cause to give ear, each distant land!

Cause yourself to gird yourself and shatter!

Cause yourself to gird yourself and shatter!

10: Plan a plan (fs) and she is caused / made to be annulled!

Speak a speech (ms) and he does not stand. (He must increase, I must decrease John 3:30)

For/because of Immanuel!

(A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me John 1:30)

Pause and think about that!

11: For thus had Yehoweh spoken to Me as the powerful Hand. He chastens Me from walking in the way of this people saying,

12: Don’t You still say, “Conspiracy” to all of what this people say is conspiracy.

And do not fear and do not cause trembling fear. 

13: The/time of Yehoweh of Parliaments is with him. 

You cause him to be made holy (kadosh). 

And he is your fear. ( John criticized Herod for marrying his brother’s wife Mark 6:18)

And he is your trembling. (Herod feared John because he was righteous and holy and kept him safe, perplexed by him but glad to hear him Mark 6:20,21)

14: And he happened to be(come) a sanctuary (m’kadosh) and a trip-up (negef also means plague) stone and a stumbling rock to the second house of Israel, for a trap and a snare to Jerusalem’s inhabitants. (Herod was exceedingly sorry to have John beheaded Mark 6:26)

15: And a great-many of them had stumbled over them. And they had fallen down and had shattered and had been ensnared and taken away. (After John was killed, Jesus wants to go away to a desolate place and rest with His disciples on hearing of John Mark 6:31)

Pause and think about that!

16:  Bind a testimony (Taooda)! Seal up Torah (from yara=teach teachings) for My learners (limud from lamad=learn, disciples).

17: And I had stuck to (k’ka vs kava) Yehoweh, the face-hiding-from-Jacob’s-house One.

And I had waited (kava) for Him.

18:  Here I am, and the children whom You had given to Me,  Yehoweh, for signs/times (Isaiah 20:3, sign/time – singular of shanim is shanah which is second/repeat or repeats or revolutions – around the sun ie years or around earth’s axis ie days or around the universe’s pivot galaxy in God’s time ie light years. Jesus’ High Priestly prayer John 17:6, Pool of Siloam healing was for God’s wonders to be displayed John 9:3.)

and for wonders (Isaiah 20:3, singular mofeth – wonder – is used in reference to exile or prophet or judgement but Yehoweh’s signs and wonders mofethim in plural was reserved for references of Yehoweh’s role in Israel’s exodus FROM Egypt. Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true John 10:41. John’s disciples looked for signs and wonders and Jesus sent them back to John with confirmation Matt 11:1-5, John 3:26, Andrew was John’s disciple and followed Jesus when John told him Jesus was the Lamb of God John 1:35,40) in Israel from Yehoweh  of Parliaments, the Mount-Zion- dwelling One. 

Pause and think about that!

19: And if they say to you, Seek towards (el- is towards – with a hyphen vs El אל vs. God which is  a shortened form of איל ayil strong) the familiar spirits and the diviners (ones who yada – know), the twitterers and the mutterers whose gods people should not seek on behalf of the living for the dead (they say we are Moses’ disciples, not Jesus’ John 9:28). 

20: If they do not speak of the Torah and of the Taooda, this word is in which there is no ‘shakhar’ (means dawn (n)  and early seeking (v). After the healed blind man of Siloam witnesses to the Jews, they say we are Moses’ disciples, not Jesus’ John 9:28. Those who see become blind John 9:39.   The man believes Jesus is the Son of Man John 9:38)

21:  And he had crossed over it, hardened and hungry. (Matt 3:4, Luke 7:33)

And it had happened that when he is hungry and had been caused to make himself angry, and he had trivialised his king and his gods and he had faced on high,

22:  and he causes to regard the land, and behold!

Trouble (tsara) and darkness.

Gloom and oppression and  dispelled blackness.  (Jesus speaks about John Luke 7:18-34, John is killed because of his stand against Herod Mark 6:27)

Prayer:

Immanuel, You tabernacled with us and give us signs and wonders to show us God’s glory. The pride of our rulers may may be in water supplies. We are baptized in it! Our rulers fear us telling the truth and may cause trouble. You prepare us by sending us witnesses like John the Baptist. May we bind Your Testimonies and seal up Your Teachings, not seek divinations and man’s gods. Amen.

PS Last week’s Signs and Wonders of His Kingdom:

On Sukkoth 5, 30th September 2026, Wednesday what would have been a plane crashing into somewhere in Israel, was averted by a series of miracles. Two hours and approaching Israel to land in Tel Aviv, Smit Macchchar (Flydubai 737 Max FZ1073’s Bombayite pilot (Ghatkopar)) managed to fend off his Omani radicalized co-pilot Hammam el-Hammami’s crash axe, squak 2 x 7700 (emergency) and a 7500 (unlawful interference) alarm and open the cockpit door. Tali Berkovich-Manes, a holiday maker returning with her family was waiting for the loo and raised the alarm when she saw the door open and a bloodied hand in the gap. Yaniv Hayoun, a plumber and air crash investigation serial watcher, rushed in and got Hammam in a choke hold and yanked the control back to stop the 2 mins 17000 foot descent. Shota Musaev, a dentist, stopped Smit’s blood loss. 2 of 4 reserve pilots on board, one British, took over and took the 170 mostly Israeli passengers to a safe landing in Tabuz, a nearby Saudi airport close to Jordan. A series of miracles on the 5th day of celebrating Immanuel – God tabernacling with us.
