Now, even now, from now on, what will happen it's only and only the Judgment of GOD. It's a matter evil ones to render an account according to the righteous Judgment of GOD, the Judgment Seat of Christ.
In my vision, I see our Lord JESUS revealing through His angel- Revelation 6:14-17- the LITERAL fulfillment of Scripture you have quoted and interpreted it from Isaiah 2:21.
Revelation 6:14-17
14 And the heaven (heaven? Ephesians 1:3-8 and 2Peter 3:7) departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were MOVED out of their places. (Every religious, and politic, and economic, and social, and military structures will be moved/dissolved/destroyed, including the Dispensations of the OT and NT(heavens)will be dissolved). IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the Great Day(Lord's Day-seventh and last Day) of His wrath is come( Revelation 11:18); and who shall be able to stand?
The Word of GOD reveals unto us: Hebrews 4:12-13:
12 The Word of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do (we must render an account)
The Word is GOD, self-executing.
Ezekiel also prophesied, saying: Ez.11:19 - And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the STONY heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
And JESUS said : Matthew 15:19-20
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man:...
John 6:24-35
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for JESUS.
25And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him,What sign shewest thou then,that we may see,and believe thee?what dost thou work?
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Then Jesus said unto them,Verily,verily,I say unto you,Moses gave you not that bread from heaven;but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,and giveth life unto the world.
34Then said they unto him,Lord,evermore give us this bread.
35And Jesus said unto them,I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger;and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Luke 15:17-20
17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have BREAD enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20And he arose, and came to his father.
Marvelous
yes, my family is very irregular in so many ways. I have weathered the dysfunction well over the years. But others in my family have not. The problem of mental illness is a generational issue on my Mom's side, so genetics plays a part in the recurrence in my sons, my siblings, my cousins, and my nieces and nephews.
With all of this said, I am very concerned for my nephew since he told me that he spends his day thinking about killing himself even after 3 months of hospital stays. I don't know if his dad will be one who can truly help him and I have not spent much time with his dad over the years because my husband and I always have felt that he was a bit creepy and when his former wife informed m about the abuse 30 years ago we just didn't want him to be around our boys at all. So he and I are not very close.
Thank you for your prayers and concern for me and my nephew. I hope to speak with him again today or tomorrow. I will text him and let him know he can call me in the evenings. I know that at this time, I really need to be a good listener to him and avoid anything that my sound to him to be critical, judgmental, or even hyper-spiritual. It is sad to me that he has abandoned his faith in God but I can understand how a severely depressed person can "give up" on God since it would seem that God has given up on the depressed person. Since I really only barely know my nephew, I cannot advise him very well, but I know that I am called to pray for him, especially as he reveals more and more to me. Trust is a BIG issue for anyone in his state and so I wand to tread lightly with him and hopefully he will feel supported and that I am trustworthy.
I think for people who have abandoned their faith it is hard to get close to someone who is a strong, life-long believer because they don't want to e judged or admonished, or be given many "biblical" platitudes and especially not a plethora of Bible verses.
Please continue to pray that I am wise in my words.
My brother (nephew's dad in this conversation) has been a believer since high school. But he got involved with the Way International and then the Church of Christ while married and with his children. Since he moved away from his family 30 years ago due to being abusive to his step daughters, he kind of morphed the Church of Christ culture into his own brand of Christianity. When my nephew moved in with him when he turned 18 my nephew was totally dependent on his dad and having been "fake homeschooled" by his lazy mother, he never had a normal social life, nor an education past being able to sound out words,(which is K to 1st grade reading level),o n top of being very neglected by her. He was not able to get work because of his lack of literacy and severe allergies to most things one would come in contact with at a job which results in severe asthmatic and allergic reactions. He has been with my brother for a little over 10 years and so my brother has greatly influenced him with his "brand" of Christianity (which is very legalistic and tightly narrowed in regards to the "world" as he sees it. So my nephew has not been exposed to so much of what is everyday living for most people, including Christians. We are to be in the world but not of the world, as Jesus said. This sheltering has been detrimental to my nephew.
Since began to play in a blues trio around the area, he has become well known in the blues community and was making his own money finally with the gigs the trio did weekly. This music scene IS his social life now and his means of making money. But now that he cannot play the definitely feels the loss of that outlet for his talent. His depression began to get bad last fall, and came to a crisis level in February. Since then he has been in and out of several hospitals being held there in psych ward and still attempting to commit suicide in each one. He really has no power in and over his life and that is a terrible place to be.

I thought about your situation and other ones at my Nursing Home study which I started up again; some lady was seeking how to deal with an estranged sister as she put it. Apparently her OLDER sister was a believer when she was into "fen shui" or however you say it. This lady I talked to today had a stroke recently and she says God spoke to her about slowing her down to hear His voice. (nuts just forgot her name good thing I wrote it down). Another lady there "Margaret" is from a Catholic background but seems to have some true faith; a few others just stood around. We determined after an end times study which some expressed interest in before to focus once again on Psalms which I think I started last year. The other woman wants to learn scripture so that is good.
I suppose it isn't any great revelation to you but speaking encouragement I can say that you certainly aren't alone with..well to put it delicately a family with many "idiosyncrasies". I can't say that I am not burdened that you have so much on your plate.
Hopefully your husband's family isn't so troubled so as to have some solace and feel you can be close to some others. Again I am glad you have a decent marriage as a support.
Getting a new lawnmower tomorrow. Hope your home turmoil with repairs comes to a landing in the not too distant future.
Praise God my Christian friend is an electrician and plumber..there is a lot eventually needing to be done in this home.
I'll admit that sometimes I probably like hearing myself talk; and of course a forum like this perpetuates that concept. I loathe the idea; although would like to use whatever skills I have for God's glory. With further opportunities like today for Bible study and evangelism perhaps I'll reduce the time on this site. I again appreciate your support.
Understanding when that day is or was unlocks that verse.
The day that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary is the day that the yoke was destroyed and the burden was removed. However, we receive what He did when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
I am happy to pray for you, not just once, but whenever God brings you to mind.
I am not sure which of my posting you are responding to. Can you give me more specifics so I can understand your post to me? I appreciate that.
Job 1:10 Psalm 91:4,5
Zechariah 2:5 Psalm 91:8-11
Psalm 34:7 Psalm 91:14-16
Psalm 91:1,2
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
I would say we are being shaken! as we should.
