There’s nothing better than religion for instilling fear
One of the things that Christian bible scholars really love to do is tie Old Testament passages to Jesus. This is intended to prove that Jesus literally is Jehovah and he told the old Testament prophets to let people know that he would be coming in the flesh as a true descendent of King David.
One of the passages attributed to Jesus is Isaiah 8:14-15. If these Christian scholars are correct then “God Made Flesh” will provide safety, but not to the Israelites. Instead he will be an insurmountable obstacle in the form of a giant rock free from concern for mankind. He will be a snare (trap) for the inhabitants of Jerusalem and many of the Israeli people will either trip over the giant rock, fall, and break or be snared and taken.
This makes Isaiah 8:13 sensible: “Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread (KJV).”
Hopefully you are reading this the same way I am. Jesus/Jehovah was supposed to come in Isaiah’s future to cause Israel to fall, to harm the people, to destroy hope. If you don’t fear Jesus then you are defying his own commandment given through one of his better known prophets: the great Isaiah.
The whole thing makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Yay.
