Isaiah 28
Ephraim and its prophets reap disaster for being delusional and for rejecting divine revelation.

1 Woe to the garlands of glory
of the drunkards of Ephraim!
Their crowning splendor has become as fading wreaths
on the heads of athe opulenta overcome with wine.
2 My Lord has in store one mighty and strong:
as a ravaging hailstorm sweeping down,
or like an inundating deluge of mighty waters,
he will hurl them to the ground by his hand.
3 The proud garlands of the drunkards of Ephraim
shall be trodden underfoot.
4 And the fading wreaths, the crowns of glory
on the heads of athe opulent,a
shall be like the first-ripe fruit
before summer harvest:
he who sees it devours it
the moment he has hold of it.
5 In that day shall Jehovah of Hosts
be as a crown of beauty and wreath of glory
to the remnant of his people:
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
a source of strength
to those who repulse the attack at the gates.
7 These too have indulged in wine
and are giddy with strong drink:
priests and prophets have gone astray through liquor.
They are intoxicated with wine
and stagger because of strong drink;
they err as seers, they blunder in their decisions.
8 For all tables are filled with vomit;
no spot is without excrement.
9 Whom shall he give instruction?
Whom shall he enlighten with revelation?
Weanlings weaned from milk,
those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is but line upon line, line upon line,
precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
a trifle here, a trifle there.
11 Therefore, by incomprehensible speech
and a strange tongue
must he speak to these people,
12 to whom he said, This is rest; let the weary rest!
This is a respite! But they would not listen.
13 So to them the word of Jehovah remained:
Line upon line, line upon line,
precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
a trifle here, a trifle there, that,
persisting, they might lapse into stumbling
and break themselves,
become ensnared and be taken captive.
14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you scoffers
who preside over these people in Jerusalem.
15 You have supposed, by taking refuge in deception
and hiding behind falsehoods,
to have covenanted with Death,
or reached an understanding with Sheol, that,
should a flooding scourge sweep through the earth,
it shall not reach you.
16 Therefore, thus says my Lord Jehovah:
I lay in Zion a stone, a keystone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.
They who believe it will not do rashly.
17 I will make justice the measure,
righteousness the weight;
a hail shall sweep away your false refuge
and waters flood the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with Death shall prove void,b
your understanding with Sheol have no effect:
when the flooding scourge sweeps through,
you shall be overrun by it.
19 As often as it sweeps through,
you shall be seized by it:
morning after morning it shall sweep through,
by day and by night it shall seize you;
it shall cause terror merely to hear word of it.
20 Then shall come to pass the proverb:
The couch is too short to stretch out on,
the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 For Jehovah will rise up
as he did on Mount Perazim,
and be stirred to anger, as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to perform his act, his unwonted act,
and do his work, his bizarre work.
22 Now therefore scoff not,
lest your bonds grow severe,
for I have heard utter destruction
decreed by my Lord, Jehovah of Hosts,
upon the whole earth.
23 Give heed, and hear my voice!
Be attentive, and listen to what I say!
24 Will the plowman be forever plowing to sow seed,
disking and harrowing the same ground?
25 When he has smoothed its surface,
does he not sprinkle fennel and scatter cumin?
Does he not demarcate wheat from barley
and plant buckwheat in its own plot?
26 His God instructs him,
directing him in the proper procedure.
27 Fennel is not threshed with a sharp-toothed sledge,
nor is a cartwheel rolled over cumin:
fennel is beaten out with a stick
and cumin with a rod.
28 Domestic grain is ground;
one does not go on endlessly threshing it.
It cannot be ground
by driving horse and threshing cart over it.
29 These things originate with Jehovah of Hosts,
whose counsel is wonderful,
whose inspiration is surpassing.

The Whore of Babylon makes the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication. Nations are blood lines and not borders on a map. Ephraim and Manasseh will become many nations. Dispersed groups. The Whore of Babylon is a church. The only way a church can make the people drunk is by false teaching and false doctrine.

It is the exact same meaning in Isaiah 28. Wine is false teaching and strong drink is false doctrine. The vomit on the table is those false teachings and doctrine that are regurgitated for us to buy into. Ephraim thinks it is serving God but in reality they are making a covenant with death and with hell they are in agreement. They believe everything that Lucifer wants them to believe. Wherever their doctrine disagrees with the Bible it is the Bible that has been translated incorrectly. And it says ALL tables are full of false teachings and false doctrine AND THERE IS NO PLACE CLEAN. Not in ALL of Ephraim is there a person that does not spew vomit when they teach the word. But when the OMAS comes to this world he will teach but no one will hear. He can do precept upon precept, line upon line here a little and there a little and teaches the truth. The people think that they can do it also but they can't, "that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken". Yet they are so proud in their hearts that they can't admit that they don't know jack.

Only after the OMAS returns to heaven does he return to the earth in full power as the another angel that preaches the Gospel to every living soul on earth.

I am glad that you have joined the forum and have brought these new ideas, new to me at least. It will be interesting to see what comments other people have.
