Three Questions:
(1) What is this alliance, treaty, pledge,
pact or agreement of the he-goat from
the West (Dan 8)? It is based on death
from his refuge in hell/Sheol through lies
and deception. The he-goat follows his
master, the Father of All Lies.
Isaiah 28:18 NASB
"Your covenant [H1285] with death will
be canceled, And your pact [H2380] with
Sheol will not stand; When the
overwhelming scourge [H7752] passes
through, then you become its trampling
place.
Strong's H1285 - beriyth = convenant,
pledge, treaty, alliance, league
Strong's H2380 - chazuwth = pact, vision,
agreement, notable, conspicuous or great
horn; related to a law hence a covenant
Strong's H2380 of PACT or GREAT HORN
occurs 5 times in 5 verses. Three are
found in Isaiah and two times was it
listed in Daniel chapter 8.
(2) How will it be broken?
The LORD says He will break this HORN
by an overwhelming scourge. The way to
break the he-goat's alliance with death
and Sheol is to partake in the overwhelming
scourge.
Strong's H7752 - showt = scourge, whip,
(fig.: national judgment or chastisement)
The he-goat does not believe this scourge
will reach him when it passes by.
Isaiah 28:15 NASB
Because you have said, "We have made
a covenant with death, And with Sheol
we have made a pact. The overwhelming
scourge will not reach us when it
passes by, For we have made falsehood
our refuge and we have concealed
ourselves with deception."
(3) How will the LORD implement this scourge?
Isaiah 10:26 KJV
And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a
scourge [H7752] for him according to
the slaughter of Midian at the rock
of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon
the sea, so shall he lift it up after
the manner of Egypt.
First, He will stir it up against the he-goat.
Second, a Gideon-like champion will attack.
Third, He will split the sea via East-Wind
(see ref. Gen 41:6,23,27 and Exodus 10:13
as well as Job 27:21 and Psalm 78:26).
Fouth, He will raise or lift it up.
I believe we are seeing the scourge in process
right now, today, via the Tea Party movement.
For those who wish to take up arms, there will
be a Gideon-like leader who will fulfill this
role. Please note, I do not advocate or support
this step as a Christ-follower. He who lives
by the sword will die by it.
Next, the East-Wind will start dividing the
sea of humanity and continue all night until
morning. I believe this is Phase-One of the
first Rapture.
Finally, He will gather up, raise up, and lift
up all believers into the Clouds combining the
Rod of Aaron/Moses with the Body of Christ.
This Gathering-Up-Into-The-Clouds is the
overwhelming scourge of God's judgment against
those who have made hell/Sheol their covering.
Isaiah 28:19 KJV
From the time that it goeth forth it
shall take you: for morning by morning
shall it pass over, by day and by night:
and it shall be a vexation only [to]
understand the report.
For those left behind, it will be a time of
daily confusion and vexation which they will
not understand.
