Reading Isaiah’s Mind – Chapter 34 – verses 1- 8
Judgment Against the Nations
1. All you nations, draw near (come- closer) and pay close attention. Let the whole world hear (be informed; be told; find out; discover), so that God’s prophecies will be fulfilled for the world but particularly for the students (followers; fans; active-learners; devotees; scholars; enthusiasts; disciples) of the words of Old-Testament prophets. Pay very-close attention to what is being said here!

2. Indeed (if truth be told), you should be angry (enraged; provoked to anger), for God’s sake, over all the Gentiles (non-Israelites running The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints) and you should be furious (enraged; infuriated; outraged) over the host (army) of Israelite (rank and file Mormon) men who Salt Lake’s prophets, seers and revelators have laid under a curse (put rings through their noses) and sacrificed (offered-up; tendered; volunteered; proposed) to be slaughtered (butchered; exterminated).

3. Those of Israel’s people (rank and file Mormons) who’ve been wounded (damaged; traumatized) by Salt Lake are cast-away (thrown-overboard; cast into the sea), while the stench (stink; foul-odor; rottenness; foulness) of Salt Lake’s adulterous images (celebrities; icons) will rises up (ascends), but shortly, the glory of this Generation of Salt Lake’s prophets and apostles will be terminated (brought to a conclusion; discontinued; cut-short; ended; aborted) because of the innocent-blood (Israelite-blood; rank and file Mormon blood) they have shed and Israelites (rank and file Mormons) to whom they have shown absolutely no mercy.

4. And their mockery (travesty; charade; farce; parody) of the Host (army) of heaven, that this generation Salt Lake’s priesthood leadership has sworn to make (perform; carry-out; execute). But Salt Lake produces an army (host) of high-priests whose species (race; breed) of men, resemble (remind-one; look-like; have the quality-of) dried-up (withered) leaves that have fallen off the vine. i.e. a generation of unsuccessful-men (worthless-old-men; spent-men), who’ve fallen off a fig-tree.

5. Indeed (if truth be told), My sword (incriminating words; criminal-indictment) is bathed (satiated; satisfied; triumphant; fulfilled; quenched; ) in the heavens (dwelling place of God’s spirit) . Behold (a new turn of events. Though surprising, it could have been predicted) Upon Edom (Edomites; people of Edom; descendants of Esau, who sell their birthright for temporal-satisfaction; who seek after royalty by intermixing with Canaanites, who subjugate Israel’s people to their own will; Edom, meaning: “Red“; people with blood-stained garments) and upon people on the receiving end of divine-destruction because of judgment. Salt Lake’s priesthood Authorities have gone completely astray and broken (cast-aside; discarded; thrown -away) their yoke (covenant; agreement; treaty; bond) with Jehovah.

6. They will be laid-waste by Jehovah, in order to fulfill ( accomplish; carry out) bloodshed prophesied among Israel’s people by Salt Lake’s anointed prophets, seers and revelators, who are incubated in the fat (choicest part; finest part; best part) of Mormonism’s elite society and begotten by the bloodshed (murder; massacre; killing ) of Israel’s sacrificial lambs and cobbled (patched) together by salt Lake’s priesthood leaders from the fat (wealth and prosperity) surrounding the kidneys (reins; inn er-most minds; desires; longings) of Israel’s rams (presiding priesthood leaders) among the sheepfold, as tributes to Salt Lake’s God, (Ba’al) and viewed as God’s gifts to a latter-day Church of Edomites (idolatrous men ; worldly men; materialistic men; power-hungry men; hedonistic men).

7. But, wild (violent; wanton; profligate) bulls (Salt Lake tribal leaders; priesthood authorities) who join together with (conspiring with; enter into secret-combinations with ) their kinsmen (male relatives) will fall (perish; be slain; be defeated) right-along with the Princes of Mormonism (Salt Lake’s General Authorities) who soar into the heavens (rapidly ascend the ranks of Salt Lake’s priesthood hierarchy) and suck (satisfy themselves on; slake themselves on ) the blood (life; vitality; energy; spirit; strength) of Israel’s people (rank and file Mormon people) co-mingled with the dust (upheaval; commotion; distraction) that they stir-up (generate; produce). Because the hearts (sympathies; sensitivities) of these men have grown fat (torpid; sluggish; dull; lethargic; unfeeling), they are anointed (crowned; ordained) by Salt Lake headquarters as Israel’s kings.

8. Indeed, today (now; presently) this generation of Israel’s people (rank and file Mormon people) will stand-up to (oppose; confront; defy; contradict) Salt Lake on Jehovah’s behalf in order to magnify ( redouble; build-up; expand; enhance) their requital ( retribution ; pay-back) against Salt Lake, on account of the current contest (personal and legal controversy; dispute; “war of words”; debate).
